  Kurt does "field service" in a laundromat and is not even a Jehovah's Witness

  the recent socal rain storms had me needing to go to a launrdomat to dry some clothes.

  so i get inside and see that one of the friendly neighborhood jehovah's witnesses has left a little dish of spiritual food.

  being the benevolent soul that i am, i took my handy pen and added some additional spice to the bland spiritual food offered by the watchtower.. .

  I know they don't want this to be happening to anyone...bec if they did they'd be out their committing the crime themselves...they are just faced with a horrible horrible situation...they know...some children have been shot +/- dead....then they are heard saying "please let it not be mine" ....of course that is natural....im a mother...id be saying that...there is no way i could rationalise that well better it be my child than someone elses...how abnormal would that be....

  give them a break...its traumatic...and its a response to trauma....very natural

  Conversation with my Elder Father

  by happytobefree in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this conversation was so absurd...that i actually chuckled under my breath.. ..the shooting in conneticut really hit me hard...so i decided to call my parents, kids and siblings just to say hello and i loved them.. well my dad was happy to hear from me and said he loved me as well.

  he said, i know you don't want to hear this...but because we are in the last days things like this is going to happen and even get worse.

  well i had to bite my tongue...because i really just want to show my parents i love them and spend time with them...so i choose not to dispute his statement.

  I completely agree with the posts from Theocratic sedition, sir8 and snare& racket...

  Those god sympathists are completely deluded....

  its simple..... according to their own principle i.e. we are made in gods image

  then

  if the people at the top...have the power such as Hitler...are instigating crimes against people are responsible and charged with crimes against humanity....then god that is all powerful to stop attrocious crimes or events from befalling humans but refuses to do so is responsible by an 'act of omission'. It can be reasoned that in law the act of omission can be the same as inflicting the event on the individual...

  therefore god has the power to stop it...... but he doesn't ....so he is responsible for it......therefore he should be charged with crimes against humanity due to the far reaching effects of bad things that happen to people and the sheer number of people that suffer all over this earth that he refuses to prevent....

  charge him i say....

  anyone think that the international court would be able to take god to court and have him charged with crimes against humanity????

  i think the outcome of such a case would find him 'missing in (not action) but INACTION...thus the conclusion would be that he is dead (non existant) like other missing persons for periiods of time

  Confidential Materials!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  all documents of important nature such as, our kingdom ministry, boe letters, forms, or other materials will now be sent only by email or private message communications.

  they will not be posted out here on the board.

  if someone else wants to post them, be my guest.. .. we have no other choice in this matter, and sending out confidential documents is better when it is done privately.

  How did you break the news to your parents?

  by tootired2care in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so one of the things both me and my wife are faced with is breaking the news that we've stopped going to meetings to our parents.

  my wifes parents could go either way, they have made several critical remarks of the wt over the years, while my parents are die hard jw's.

  i tossed the idea around of sending a letter or doing a phone call or just not saying anything.. we've decided that were just tired of having to hide our true feelings and play pretend.

  I reckon if there is a chance that they are die hards you should consider not talking about it at all to them. The less you say, the less they have to say about you being an apostate and the less likely it is that they will have an attack of the conscience as i call it and run to the elders. If that happens your likely to get D'ed and then family ties will be broken permanently...

  best thing is to fade.....then if they get use to the fact you haven't been in ages but you don't discuss it ...you get to keep your family contacts...

  good luck

  Do you miss "dressing up" for the meetings?

  by dozy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was thinking about this the other day when doing a bit of tidying up of my wardrobe.

  all the kh suits are now pushed to the back of the wardrobe and i am seriously thinking about a visit to the charity shop to get rid of most of them.. for me one of the (few) enjoyable aspects of being a jw was getting dressed up.

  my secular work very rarely involves putting on a dress suit & tie so i miss getting dressed up - smart suit , tie , shiny shoes , slapping on the aftershave.
