  What happens to Bethelites?

  by rickroll in

  2. beliefs

  so if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

  I know of two separate couples who a few years ago were invited to Bethel. One brother because of his expertise in electronics...the other because of his knowledge pertaining to audio. They both felt confident they'd be there for many years to come. Recently, both couples received their 'Dear John' letters stating that because they would soon be joining the over-the-hill seventies club...that Mother would no longer need their services. Mother had one last request of both couples though...that instead of going back home...to rather choose a congregation in the U.S. territory in need of elders. The nerve of Mother the beech!

  PS: Both couples are to fend for themselves...very little if any help offered!

  As the French say: 'C'est la vie'...that's life!

  It's sad that aged ex-Bethelites have to spend their last chapter in life, after being kicked out by 'Mother', fending for themselves...dealing with rent, medical bills, insurance, travel expenses, employment, food...the list is endless and can/will get expensive and burdensome for them. Add to their pitiful plight...is if the only family they have to assist them are disfellowshipped children or other family members who they disowned and who they've shunned all these years to crawl back to. A good word to sum it all up is...Karma!

  All be ware...such is the life in a cult!

  I know someone who is being shunned for nearly 15 years by his:

  4 sisters

  4 brothers

  4 brother n laws

  4 sister n laws

  5 nephews

  7 nieces

  The parents, on the other hand, are rebels against the WT's cruel and harsh disfellowshipping/shunning doctrine. They demonstrate unconditional love to all their children including their ex-JW son.

  U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Appeal by Jehovah’s Witnesses

  u.s. supreme court rejects appeal by jehovah’s witnesses of 2015 california trial court ordersan diego, ca, october 24, 2019 --(pr.com)-- on october 7, 2019, the u.s. supreme court rejected the petition for writ of certiorari filed by the watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. (“watchtower”), requesting that the supreme court review a case filed by the zalkin law firm in 2013. in the case of jw v. watchtower bible and tract society of new york, inc. et.

  al., the riverside superior court of california awarded the plaintiff, “j.w.,” a judgment of $4,016,152.39 plus interest at 10% per year after terminating watchtower’s defense, because it refused to obey the court’s order to produce files of known child molesters within the jw organization.

  in 2018, the fourth district court of appeal in california upheld that decision.

  Amber Scorah...now there is a beautiful mind! Amber is soo fun and enjoyable to listen to. She is a survivor of a dangerous cult and she's out to warn her fellow man & woman.

  How in the hell is the cult (WTBTS) to combat and deal with the backlash? Amber is one of hundreds of thousands of ex-JWs who have in recent years become inactive or, like Amber, have left the cult entirely and are burning bridges behind them in the process.

  No bueno for 'Mother'...Yay!

  2. bible

  it's seems that even the revised edition of the book revelation: it's grand climax a hand was wrong again.. in the 2019 agm david splane "clarified our understanding of the prophecy recorded in joel 2".

  clarified?

  you mean he done a 180 reversal.. from revelation: it's grand climax a hand page 143, para.

  Didn't WT say a few years back that they were going to stop with types and anti-types speculating...why can't they just shut the hell up?

  Oh...what am I saying! Please WT don't stop now...please...please continue flip-flopping on your teachings & making asses of yourselves!

  It would be one thing for Jehovah's Witnesses to be off by 5° on a teaching or doctrine. But what the hell these knuckleheads were off by 180°!

  I like how days of future passed put it:

  Nice move on the GB! Now the witnesses can imagine all the lawsuits are brought about by Locusts.

  Could this be the reincarnation/resurrection of the 1998 'Pioneers Assist Others' program that lasted only a few years.

  I remember a worldwide letter (early 2000s) that was addressed to the elders but not read to the congregations. It said something to the effect:

  "The Pioneers Assist Others program has served its purpose and will be discontinued!" That was it...short & sweet...no explanation given for terminating the program back then...really weird!

  It obviously was a colossal failure back then...so why recycle it?

  Vidiot...I'll go with

  a) ...the pedobase is even more damning than we suspected...

  One reason why WT's pedobase may be soo damning is because Ted Jaracz may be on it among other top WT brass!

  do they still show these figures in the K.H ?

  In my neck of the woods the attendance figures are still displayed on the 'Bulletin' board and ya...there is usually between 25% to 35% no-shows!
