gossip
by Nancy1919 ini was once was told by an jw elder it was a rule not to gossip or swear as it could harm someone, but i guess the new light allows this.
it was bad enough when they were calling people worldly now i heard a jw gossiping about someone and it was mean.just another reason i would never go back.

Memories of Excessive Laughter
by Sea Breeze injw's are not known for laughter.
there are the rare exceptions.
they are more known for their fear mongering and doomsday scenarios where "the dead shall come to be as manure on the surface of the ground from one end of the earth clear to the other".

Good thread.
A good friend once asked the elders why they were holding me back from being appointed.
Their answer:
'He's too happy. Always laughing and making others laugh, Also, he's too self contained. Us elders holding him back doesn't bother him, and we elders don't like that..'
Amazingly, the next co came along - I told him what the elders had said, and he appointed me over their heads!

I heard two elders talking about 'present truth' and 'current truth' - how I hate those jw expressions!

Extreme at odds ever since pandemic ...
by Palegreen79 inmarch 3-9 theocratic school material is something else.. i fully get that there are 2 major sides of thinking regarding that topic.
but really from their own lying mouths it was a personal decision that should have been respected.
this was not reality.

What is Your Favorite WT Lie?
by Sea Breeze ini would like to start a thread on lies that the watchtower and their reps have told.
surely we all have one or two that truly sticks out in our memories, no matter how much we would like to forget.
my favorite wt lie: the reason they don't want to release the name of the "scholars" who worked on the new world translation is because they do not want to accept "glory and honor" from others.

Householder: 'Are you telling me that if I don't become a JW I will be destroyed by God?
JW: 'No, of course not!'

' 1935 is the cut off year for collecting the anointed.'
Years later:
'It would seem that 1935 is NOT the cut off year for the calling of the anointed.'

Loss of a Jehovah’s Witness who I considered a friend
by Fallen_Winter ini have known a jehovah’s witness for approximately 15 years and i have considered her a friend although i know that jehovah’s witnesses cannot have friends who are not jehovah’s witnesses.
approximately two years ago, i was going through a very difficult time and i asked my friend if we could have bible study.
she said yes and we have been studying the bible since.

The JW leadership blows so hot and cold.
One CO came round years ago and told us to ditch all our cosy mag routes, people who just wanted the Awake and a nice chat and gave us a cuppa -
Reason given was that it was an urgent life saving message we were delivering and needed to weed out these 'nice householders who were not making proper spiritual progress'...
Few years later, totally opposite advice, make friends of our RV's , don't pressure them, Jesus wants all to be saved, call back on even those who just took a tract but showed very little interest..
As a pioneer I suddenly realised ALL this advice was a total load of shite, purely designed to keep us all on our toes and busy and blinkered on the ministry!!!
