Awake magazine: "Help for those who grieve" ?? Appalling omission!
by stuckinarut2 ini have just had the opportunity to read a hard copy of the awake no3 2018 entitled "help for those who grieve".
wtf?.
it really is appalling in its glaring omission of any recommendation to see a professional grief counselor!

I know that at a local level you will be discouraged from seeing a worldly counsellor or therapist.
But the Org has in the past suggested using professional help to deal with problems. There was an Awake! in 2014 about suicide which did suggest using outside help.

Why do Jehovah's Witness members incriminate themselves in judicial meeting?
by RULES & REGULATIONS inwhy do jehovah's witness members incriminate themselves to any judicial process?
how can three elders conduct a judicial meeting with a 15-year-old teenage girl who supposedly was rumored to fornicate, took drugs or was drunk from drinking alcohol?
can she or the parents refuse to answer any questions?.

Because it is a case of "you're damned if you do or you're damned if you don't."
I remember back when I served as a younger blinkered elder I very much deferred to the older and - or so I mistakenly believed at the time - wiser more mature elders.
Anyway we had one lad who had formed a relationship with a wordly girl and had been seen by a couple going inside her church. (For all we really knew he may have dropped her off and been using the toilet facility inside the building!)
He was invited to come and talk to the elders but he turned the invitation down. The committee met together anyway, reviewed the alleged evidence, and disfellowshipped him in absentia.
He later said nobody had even told him why he was being disfellowshipped. He was asked to come to the next mid-week congregation meeting, which he did, and was as shocked as everyone else when the announcement was read out.
So it doesn't really matter if you present yourself or not. Minds probably have been made up in advance.

Funny how "false religion" can operate multiple halls and churches in every little village whereas people wanting to flock to the mountain-like "one true faith" have to travel miles and miles away from their home town to do so.
So much for preaching and going to where the people are located. Ho Hum.

The organisation has always said that Jesus came to inspect and clease the earthly part of the temple in 1919.
Here's a relatively recent Question from Readers which touches on this topic. I hope that's of some help to you.
[ w16 March p. 29-p. 32 par. 8 ].
"When were God’s people held captive by Babylon the Great?"

You can actually buy reprints of the set of the first 6 written by Russell from Amazon nowadays. It's about 80 dollars for the 6 if you want them as books rather than the ones online only.
Here's a link to see the online copies.

Hungry?? Don’t worry- I’ll feed you soon....
by stuckinarut2 inhow often have we heard jws (and christians in general) speak about how “god will step in soon and fix earths woes”.
a thought came to mind that i would love to calmly say to the person that says we should “wait on god”.
if your child looks up at you with big eyes, and a pained look on his face and says “daddy, i’m so hungry.

I could never figure out how people who are suffering are told that one day God will put it right. Not now, but one day - and only if you accept this religion.
Whereas animals that are suffering get no promise of relief despite God apparently caring about every single little sparrow.
