Why JW marriage is a huge problem for the organization.

by kneehighmiah in

jw
friends

the difficulty of finding a marriage mate is well known for sisters.

but i would say it's hard for brothers also.

i was talking to a jw last night.

Over a decade ago I made the observation that in the bOrg there are really only two kinds of females of marraige age. . . those who are already married, and those who are single, for damned good reason.

What man in his right mind wants to take on as a marriage partner someone who is morbidly obese, doesn't have a clue about applying make-up, doesn't own or know how to use a hair brush, is a chronic hypochondriac, has several ill-behaved pre-schoolers, and spends money like there is no end to it?

I for one refuse to take on THAT kind of commitment, but back in the day the oh so "loving" brothers said I had a good selection. After all those undesirable traits would be changed after the Big "A". . .SOON!

My choice was a hard working, attractive, healthy (gasp) WORLDLY woman. Best choice possible, and the catty remarks of the JW's hags be damned.

Satan, perfection, new world, and being s***ted on again

by Tenacious in

according to the bible man was created a little lower in abilities to that of angels.

this means that angels are a tad higher in regards to their perfection.

perhaps they have a word for it in the spirit realm as we mere mortals do not.

This past Sunday the WT had this to say, "The tree would indicate to Adam and Eve that they would always need Jehovah’s direction. For them to eat of the tree would be to claim moral independence, . . ." (Italics mine).

The implication is that the test, if they had not eaten of the tree's fruit, would have continued on indefinitely, without end. The WTB&T$$ claims that at the end of the thousand years of paradise life Satan will again "test" perfect mankind, and that thereafter any who for the rest of eternity do not follow God's laws will be immediately cut off. It would seem that whether it is Satan testing, or the passage of time humans will be shat upon for eternity.

Your favourite WTS publication?

by LoveUniHateExams in

i realise that starting this thread may make me as popular as a ginger stepchild but was there any wts publication that you liked, or at least comfortably tolerated?.

my memory may be deceiving me but i think the greatest man book was pretty good, leaving out the gruesome detail of the crucifixtion and wts doctrine.. also, can anyone tell me the list of books that ray franz authored/co-authored?.

thanks.

I liked Commentary on James.

I mentioned that, a number of years ago, to an eldurr who promptly chastised me for studying a book written by an apostate. I guess biblical Christian love and conduct is not approved by the "improved" version of the WTB&T$

Bible reading section for the week of November 24th. Duet 28-31

by stuckinarut2 in

so the "cong bible reading " section to be covered for this week is from deuteronomy 28-31.... have you ever read this section????

wow...just wow....there is some psycho stuff in it!.

"do as i (jehovah) say, or i'll mess you up with some really perverse and psychotic stuff!".

I had a little fun picking on a JW with this scripture.

I mentioned the fact that only fourteen verses contained blessings, while fifty-four verses contained curses. Their reply was that, "That surely shows Jehovah's love for his people. He gave them a choice, and plainly stated repeatedly what would happen if they didn't obey him."

I think that in the event I attend tonights meeting I will attempt to get called on and make that same statement, followed by, "And today we see that the GB is just as loving. Remember the WT where they let us know that our very lives depended on following whatever directions we get from them?"

If I get to comment it will be fun watching the sheeple's heads bobbing in agreement.

11/30/2014 WT Study - take care of those who are all used up.

by OneEyedJoe in

was bored during today's indoctrination lesson, and you guys weren't generating enough content to keep me entertained, so i looked agreed at next week's a bit.

basically the point of the hour lesson is that once the society has completely used someone up, they're to be dumped on next of kin (or anyone who'll take 'em) to take care of 'em.

obviously the wts can't dip into any of the millions/billions that they're sitting on to pay for the support of ailing missionaries - they've got that money earmarked for new cult compounds and paying off victims of the pedophiles that they've protected over the years.. just another in a recent string of articles paying lip service to taking care of those that have given their life to the cult while they do absolutely nothing from their ivory towers.

I noticed the same thing. Do more! Pawn off your elderly parents on the congregation or whomever, just don't quit door knowcking!

Yet the WT said this not too long ago:

*** w08 8/15 p. 18 Jehovah Tenderly Cares for His Elderly Servants ***

Show Tender Regard in Practical Ways

7 God gives the families of older ones theprimary responsibility to provide for them. (Read 1 Timothy 5:4, 8.) Jehovah is pleased when families fulfill their obligation toward elderly relatives and thus show that they care about older ones as he himself does. God supports these families and blesses them for their efforts and for all their sacrifices.

Isn't it strange that now the WT says, "Bear in mind that full-time servants have significant responsibilities in the most important work the world has ever known. Could you or your congregation lend a hand if the parents of full-time servants need help?

So while GOD gave the family the responsibility for their elderly parents, the GB has set themselves in effect higher than God himself by sayiing that elderly, likely frail ones, are the responsilbility of the congregation. That makes my blood boil, as my still in elderly parents, who have devoted their entire adult lives to the WT are now totally ignored by everyone in their congregation because they have slowed down physically, and are beginning to show the mental effects of aging. Of course I am not a pious sneer, so that probably explains why my parents must suffer at the hands of those "loving" JW's!

No comment on tight dresses from TM3. Gotta keep those WTB MS motivated!

by aintenoughwiskey in

jw
friends

this is sexist, sisters can strut around in painted on dresses.

i recall one elders wife (she looked fantastic by the way) with a very tight form fitting dress that would have showed a birth mark, let alone a panty line.

none was revealed!

piztjw

I hope that never happens. Tight dresses, low cut tops are the ONLY thngs that keep me interested at meetings! Yeah, I know...I'm a lech.

Gerrit Losch's "I DO NOT ANSWER TO WATCHTOWER"

by Newly Enlightened in

in gerrit losch's public statement to the superior copurt of california.

"9) Watchtower does not have, and has never had, any authority over me."

This is a blatant lie!

Or is it? It reminds me of my ex-wife who got caught in an affair. When asked if she was making love with the guy she said "NO". (It was just sex at that point) Later when asked again if she was having sex with the guy she said "NO". (It was "love" by then) She only reluctantly admitted to the affair when presented with proof in a court of law, and was asked if she had ever engaged in, was engaging in, or intended to engage in, sexual intercourse, oral sex, making love and a few other ways of phrasing my lawyer asked.

Losch is not lying. In his mind, even though he knows it to be deceitful, he answers to God not Watchtower.

This same type of reasoning can and should be used by anyone pulled into a JW court, JC. Pause, think of the question, then answer it in a way that is not provably lying, but completely denies the accusation. Good for the goose...good for the gander y'know!

So if "parents are to blame for children leaving the truth", then STEP DOWN GB!

by stuckinarut2 in

if to mo's comments in the talk re "parents are to blame for children not being in the truth etc", (and yes, as many have already very nicely pointed out that this must therefore imply that "jehovah is to blame for satan and the angels rebelling"), doesn't this mean then that members of the gb need to step down?.

haven't some of the gb got family that are not "in the truth"?.

hypocrites yet again!.

@ Tech49

I also heard the condamnation spewing from AM III's pie-hole! GC is WRONG! It was not a simple experience, but as you and I both know a not very subtle way to condamn and put down any male not "serving". I ran that treadmill for over thiry years, "reaching out" and jumping through the hoops only to see eldurrs sons, eldurrs studies, etc. fast tracked to MS and eldurr. I finally told them "take this job and shove it!"

Qouted from another thread:

If parents are at fault for their kids leaving the organization, then, following Tony's argument to its logical conclusion, Jehovah is a failure as a father

I remember making that point a number of years ago when an pious, pompous, holier-than-thou eldurr (C.W. in C*********d, AZ) cliamed that the Bibl;e proved parents were to blame for their kids leaving the org. He used Prov. 22: 6. I asked if he REALLY meant it when he said parents were to blame for kids leaving. He said, That's what the Bible says!" So I asked him to explain Adam, Eve, Satan, and Judas Iscariot.
