Bribery JW Style

by Sam Beli in

jw
friends

this is a true story of bribery by a jw business man who was a baptized witness.

he was a regular publisher at the time, but he missed many meetings because of his business needs and because he was not lettered.

he struggled to read and therefore to participate in the tms, etc.

teenyuck

I believe it.

I know of a JW, still very active, who is willing to do or say anything to make a buck. Her argument is that she must take care of herself and if someone is willing to be fleeced, so be it.

She sees nothing wrong in taking gifts (from worldies), shoplifting, or lying on her taxes. She even had surgery done in a county hospital, by stating she was destitute. She has insurance and did not want her self-employed premium to go up.

I am very disappointed in this.

What purpose do the 'Annointed' serve?

by LDH in

have you ever wondered what the annointed do the other 364 days, when they're not partaking of the manischewitz?

(or whatever the hell that cheap ass wine is called).. aren't they supposed to be rulers in heaven with jesus?.

why aren't they getting any practice on earth?.

teenyuck

I saw no reason for them, except to excite the masses. "Oh, we have an annointed in our congregation-we are special!"

Big deal. My maternal great-grandfather and his wife were recruited in 1914. Their son, my maternal grandfather, never became a dub. In fact, he became a child molester.

My great-grandmother dropped out for some reason. No one in the family was allowed to speak to her because she was an EVIL SLAVE. At all family gatherings the poor old lady sat alone while her grandchildren and great-grandchildren totally ignored her.

My great-grandfather remained married to her until she died. Alone.

She was vilified. Her funeral had only family and my great-grandfather was not there!

His funeral was a lavish, typical JW affair. In the bathroom of the funeral home I told him he was a mean old bastard and to get fucked. I did not have the courage to say it in public.

If there is a heaven and he is up there, I still would tell him to get fucked. His principals and beliefs in the dubs caused so much harm to three generations of my family. I do not believe he is ruling with God. He is trolling with Satan. If there is a Satan.

Armageddon: Your Opinion Please

by teenyuck in

jw
friends

if you believe armageddon is coming, a few questions:.

armageddon: what is your belief of how your life will be immediatly following armageddon?

what is your belief of how your life will be within 1-5 years of armageddon?

teenyuck

I see that the gist of my question was lost---

If you believe as the JW's do, you believe you will be living in paradise, with animals, currently wild, domesticated. At least according to the propaganda machine of the WTBTS.

I have had an on going dialog with my mother about this. She has been a JW since 1967. She believes she will be living in paradise, with food, clothing and shelter. She even picked out the Art Institute of Chicago as her habitat.

When I pointed out that the building might not be standing afterwards, she seemed shocked. I asked where would she live? She said Jehovah would take care of her.

My point is...who/what/where will the means come from to take care of a group of people who "survive"? They are not hunter/gatherers.

Therefore, if armageddon happens, how will these people survive?

When I ask this, I am asking of quality of life. What will you eat? What will the animals eat? Where will you live?

Please do not quote scripture or JW literature. I can get that myself. What is your firm, deeply held belief on your life after armageddon?

Elders never visit

by rhett in

jw
friends

am i the only one here who has never gotten hardly any shit from the elders?

true, i was never baptized but i was jw for 21 years (born into it).

i was able to weasel my way out of various meetings for about a year then i got married and moved out of my parents house and just totally stopped going all together.

teenyuck

Hi Rhett-

I was baptised when I was 13. Dropped out when I was about 20. Not once did an elder or anyone visit or ask my mother why I was no longer going to the meetings or out in service. I am glad.

Having moved all over the country over the last 12 years (my husbands job) my mother has had the locals call on me the first three towns I lived in: Columbus, OH, Sacaramento, CA, Florence, KY. She gave up when I moved to Kansas; and when I told her I would really give them a hard time if they showed up for a "field call" on a Saturday morning.

I think my going to college, initially, made them afraid to confront me.

Did you believe in 1975?

by Masterji in

jw
friends

did you believe that 1975 would see the beginning of the millennium?.

if not, why not?.

teenyuck

Of course I believed it! I thought I would be romping with the lions and the zebras. In Chicago. I also thought I would be perfect (read thin, pretty, social, well liked, etc.).

When 1976 rolled in at 12:00 am, I was laying on the floor, watching Dick Clark. I then knew they were wrong. I was not going to be any of the above. Let alone living with lions and zebras! What a let down.

At least I was still young enough to have a life.

i left the jw when i was 14 by actions and 21 by a written letter, because i was baptised at the age of 11. .

teenyuck

Welcome MissSC!

Your story sounds strangly familiar....very much like my own. Good luck on college. I wish you well.

Keep posting!

What does it change really.....

by flower in

i'm still me whether the org is a fraud or not.

its too late now to make myself into a different person.

a person is a result of their environment and the way they were brought up.

teenyuck

Flower,

You could be reciting my thoughts. However, I have decided that even though I feel worthless, I look at what I have accomplished. (not much, but something) I also got on Zoloft (similar to Prozac). It is helping. I do need to get counseling. I know that. However, I made the first step my acknowledging it. So did you.

You are not worthless. You are important. Please look in the mirror and tell yourself you are beautiful. No matter what you believe about God, your being born was for a reason. Your son needs you.

Please realize that there are people who love you.

Hugs and more hugs,

puffs
