  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  by Ron.W. in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  18 Consider the example of Marco and his wife, Sidse, whose two adult daughters left the truth.
  Marco says "I was struggling with the feeling that it was my fault, so I told Jehovah how I felt.
  After a short time, a PIMO sister whom I hadn’t seen for many years came up to me, laid her hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eyes,and said:
  ‘Remember, Sidse, you raised your kids in a cult it is all your fault!’
  With her continued help, I began critical thinking, and I am now well on the way to becoming POMO."

  New ministry, you don’t give a witness

  by Mikejw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there are assignments on the life and ministry school now where they are suggested to just talk to people without giving a witness.. they are supposed to practice starting conversations with strangers and listening to them to talk about whatever they want to talk about .

  there is an assignment this week where the conversation ends without giving a witness.

  jws don’t look like jws anymore and now they don’t actually preach.. you could get bearded men with sweaters or other such tops and women in pants or slacks coming upto you in the park or on the street and starting a conversation with you.. then you hear them listening to you and talking about whatever they think that you wanted to talk about .

  Fascinating Mikejw!

  Wonder, if like in the old days, we'll get interested ones progressing so far and then saying;

  " I know it's the truth, but I just couldn't face the ministry where I'd have to have a friendly chat with someone in the park without preaching - I'd be far too nervous!"

  That night he did his infamous 'saintly brandon' livestream - I remember watching that thinking, 'is he drunk? has he taken something?'

  I still can't believe he did that -

  although he didn't look like he had been drinking when he posted the other earlier one saying -'he needed a break for mental health reasons'...

  What's the Worst Advice You Heard of an Elder Giving Someone?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. friends

  i believe an an elder told someone who's daughter (14 yo) became sexually active with a 26 year old in the neighborhood, that maybe they should get married.

  so, they did... with parental consent.

  he turned out to be a ex-convict who shot his first wife in the face with a shotgun.

  Who won?

  We walked to some wasteland behind the hall and he suddenly realised by the look on my face that I was really going to kick his head in.

  I was into bodybuilding/boxing/ martial arts - he suddenly bottled it and nervously thrust out his hand and apologised - I shook his hand and accepted his apology - I was disappointed..

  Another elder approached me privately few days later and said he had heard about the incident.

  He said he had served with him in the army and that he was the biggest, nastiest bully he had ever seen, and the day someone actually stood up to him and intimidated him had been long overdue -

  I never heard any more about it from the elders - I think he bullied them too..

  I heard an old fart fossil elder tell a man who was reaching out to become a servant to wait another twenty years until the hall grew in numbers and then had to split before he could be considered.

  He was an ex army bully. He offered me hand to hand combat on a quick build over something unknown to me that had upset him...I accepted.

  I totally sympathise will all your frustrations.

  I remember the strong anti internet warnings too.

  I loved it when a brother had a very important item on the platform and his new computer tablet failed leaving his item in tatters.

  They don't care - realizing this has made my life a hell of a lot easier - but still, sorry for all your real world frustrations with the watchtower - the make their own rules up as they go along and have the cheek to call it new shite...

  JWmatch dating site

  by sspo in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  after my divorce four years and still attending the meetings i joined jwmatch.com as a non-paying member, eventually.

  after i stopped going to meetings i wrote on my profile that i was inactive and after four years i have 63 "fans"...... sisters.

  interested in me, from all over the world, as young as 29 and very pretty.. it looks like the sisters are so desperate for a mate that they would be interested in almost a 58 year old man.. very sad that many will stay single and will never have a chance to find love.. anyone interested in meeting them?
