My congregation is invited to the Annual meeting via Dell Projector!!!

by DATA-DOG in

i guess tickets will be given to those who qualify.

i am usure if all in the congregation are invited, or just a selected group within selected congregations.

i am guessing that it would be selected individuals from certain congregations.

Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!

by goatshapeddemon in

so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!

first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.

he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

sosoconfused

so did any further info about this materialize or is it a no go

a change the society is going to make on Thursday night meetings, can someone confirm this for me?

by Truth and Justice in

jw
friends

my mother gets a call from a dear friend in the midwest.

and this friend begins to tell my mom that her kids who attend congregations in california were told that there "thursday night meeting" or the "theocratic ministry school" is being somewhat cancelled, and that it will be considered "family night".

this would start sometime in the next couple of months.. the reason for this change is to entice the younger generation, because there is a dramatic decrease in attendence at the meetings, and that this in some way would help them to have more interest.. what are your thoughts?

If this actually happens which i truly doubt I would laugh in the face of all the dubs who praise how great it is and it is whats makes them such great preachers

Part 3: My mother continues to try to ruin me

by sosoconfused in

i am not sure if anyone cares, but the drama with my mother and me leaving the org continues.. apparently after todays craptower she goes on a spastic rant that because of my decision i am slowly killing her and my father.

the funny thing is i do not feel bad over this... i can't.. i have children and a wife of my own that i need to be happy for.

i love them - but as they get older and closer to death i realize that a new season is coming and imust care for my family the best way i can... the same way they thought they were doing.

Like most mothers in the borg I was told to do well in school. When it was time for SAT's I was told under no circumstances could IO take the test. Then when I started pioneering I had to find a job to help pay rent. Of course minimum wage jobs. I go to bethel she is happy... when I come back she is upset. I get appointed elser she is happy... I step down she is upset.

It appears that most JW parents always want to live through their children but satill want to put limits on thekm so they are not part of satans world. When you decide to leave they think of the embarrassment and that is what hurts them most. What mother would suggest that their son doesn't care about his own children. My wife is irrate and wants to choke her to death.

Ultimately I know there is no going back because her very response and reactions to one persons choice shows just how damaging this group of people can be. She tells me that today's Watchtower was jehovah speaking directly to me... um yeah suuuure it is.

Again thank you all!

I got a phone ccall about 40 minutes ago at which point I expressed, "I would just like some time for you guys to leave us alone so that as a family we can cntinue to evaluate things." It was met with, "There is no time for evaluation. The celestial chariot turns on a dime and if we are not with each turn we will never catch up. I can't believe you would do this to us!!!" Then she hung up.

i called back and she just lets it ring... This is precisely why I will never allow my children to grow up in this religion

Thanks for all the responses guys. Mum, most of your thoughts are exactly what I am holding on to. I can live my life for someone else - or feel responsible for anothers outcome unless I pull a trigger and put a bullet in their skull. This is just me seeing how dangerous that religion can be to otherwise intelligent people.

My main reasons for putting this here is because I know there are many here like me who are generations into this religion and have parents that are insane like mine. I hope it also helps them or atleast prepares them for what lies ahead

Why is God speaking in riddles?

by sosoconfused in

it seems for most of the bible that god spoke directly to people and told them what to do.

he wrote things on rocks.

he gave them laws.

sosoconfused

LOL - I think you are so missing the point.

So for any of those who may be going through this or are wondering what to expect I continue to post this stuff. If you get tired of it - I will stop. See letter below:

Morning!

Hope you're feeling well. Just finished my WATCHTOWER for the meeting today. It really encouraged me. Especially in regard to you. I do hope that you study & meditate on it. There is much that lifted my spirits and I truly needed that. Since we talked a few days ago, there have been times that I literally got sick with concern....your Dad has too. Satan knows how to use the 3-D's to weaken us. Distraction, discouragement and depression. I thought at one time....."this is going to kill me". I'm not being dramatic by any means. My blood pressure, my glucose levels and my thyroid just did their own thing. I prayed to Jehovah to com to my aid and I keep on praying for you. Dad and I pray for you throughout every day. This has really adversely affected your father also. How it must pain Jehovah!!

Please, please, study todays' WATCHTOWER. It's what you need to meditate on. Jehovah is speeding up our work & the devil is aware of it. He's doing all he can to pull away our shepherds, to discourage us. You are greatly needed, *********. Please stop allowing satan to pull you onto his path of rebelliousness. Pray to Jehovah to help you. Todays' study article can be a start. We so much need our shepherds, teachers and elders. You have so many wonderful capabilities when they are used for Jehovah. Don't hand those abilities over to satan! I worry about your children, *****......what's going to happen to them. Please ****. Go to Jehovah. Seek spiritual assistance. Come back to *************** ****** if necessary!

Always know that I love you,
Mom

ablebodied - so it seems best to just not be a christian and then we can avoid all of this stuff...
