As soon as a JDub hears anyone else start quoting scriptures they would shut it off or completely shut down

If the GB reinstated the Book study, would it take?

by BU2B in

i have been noticing in recent threads that people have been observing that the zeal has been waning among r+f jws.

i have observed that most zealous, die hards have gone to foreign lands, or foreign language congregations, leaving the others in the stagnant english congregations.

when you think of it, if you cared at all about bringing people into the cult, you probably would be preaching where it is fertile, the foreign field.

Stand for Pure Worship - " I hated the book study, absolutely detested it. Ughghghgh, the thought of it gives me the creeps."

Have I missed something???? Has SFPW stopped S'ingFPW

Ever considered joining the Church of Satan?

by J. Hofer in

every now and then i read up on the church of satan, most of their principles make sense to me, in the end i'm still leaning to a more humanist world view though.

what's your view on the church of satan?

pragmatic nihilism spiced up with a few funny rituals?

" a nice addition to my spiritual CV"

This is true, I can see it being a great prop aand conversation stopper when JW's visit the door.

VERY CONFIDENTIAL LETTER - Child abuse 10/01/2012

by WatchTower87 in

confidential letter child abuse http://adf.ly/auxbu.

to all bodies of elders.

the congregation secretary should arrange for this letter to be retained in the congregation permanent file of policy letters.

The problem here is that you have to let them know first. There WILL BE certain cases that will not go as smoothly as committee chairman's situation went. If the letter stated... contact the authorities first AND THEN CONTACT the branch it would show they were:

1. Concewrned more about the flock than themselves

2. Were not trying to hide or have control of the matter.

Think how foolish it is to call them first if under every circumstance they will just tell you that it is ok to contact the police then hang up the phone

Sounds like it is something that exists just to mock others... they do not even take themselves seriously it seems.

Also, " Anton Szandor LaVey , who was the church's High Priest until his death in 1997. [1] In 2001, Peter H. Gilmore became the high priest, and the church's headquarters were moved to Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan ."

Anything with a high priest and a headquarters no matter how small seems counter-productive. I think you should join the church of J. Hofer

Depression amongst JWs

by tornapart in

has anyone seen this post on facebook?

the comments below it are staggering!

so many suffering from depression... along with the few judgementalists.

confusedandalone

"

Many of us twenty-something Bethel brothers had a difficult time emotionally -- away from a more normal style life back home (albeit in the JW mode). We young pioneers were many and had fun and good companionship.

We were regimented severely at Bethel and some -- like me -- broke. Others ran away or attempted suicide (at Bethel). If it had been possible to do the Bethel work alone, without the pressure of late, long hours traveling to and from meetings and service, it would have been tolerable.

I liked my job."

I agree.

1.Told my background hindered me from progressing.

2. Made fun of for accent by overseers.

3.Told all the clothes I came with were unfit to wear.

4.Forced to wear oversized old clothes from the hopper

5. Watching table head rub his wifes back and then look at you as you wished it was you rubbing your wifes back.

6. Five single women in the whole place.

7. No money to buy anything extra from the commissary.

8. Spending every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon pulling giant balls of humaan hair and string from the wheels of office chairs in a dark corner of the 25 building

The list of depressing things could go on for days

perhaps this is why is does not appear in the news headlines.... http://www.jw.org/en/news/.

" The patient demanded to speak to a Jehovah's Witness after scaling a safety fence and threatening to jump during an organised 3pm walk on the viewing deck on Saturday."

One has to ask... "Why would a mentally deranged person demand to speak not to just anyone... but one of JEHOVAHS WITNESSES.??????"

Either this mental patient was previously one of JW's which no doubt probably led to this poor person being mentally deranged(sorry I had to) or it was the evil spirits in his head that told him to ask for them.

ITS A MIRCALE,YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPEN TO ME.

first i made love to my wife, maybe i'm better in bed then i thought, because about an hour after that my wife comes back in and i'm sitting at my desk and i asked her, "when the elders df me are you going to leave me, spiritual endangerment and all" she said, no, i don't feel endangered and we talked awhile and i talked about da ing and not sure what to do, then i shared with her a toned down version of the da letter that i posted and that led to her asking about my beliefs and understandings of who the great crowd and 144k, heaven and earthly hopes.

i was even able to tell her how they changed or distorted the meaning of the word naos to show the great crowd not in heaven.

i was able to show her some of the scriptures from the da letter, able to tell her a little about 1914 and how jesus did'nt invisably come in a presence, showing her scriptures on that and some more ttatt.

"
She said she could'nt believe how much zeal I had when i was leaving Jehovah's ORG meaning how much bible study etc I was doing."

I applaud you. I made similar steps with my wife and because she was a thinker and not truly 100% indoctrinated she stood by me and our relationship has grown ever stronger. Forget about everyone else and focus on your family. YOU WILL MAKE NEW FRIENDS OUTSIDEW THE ORG or atleast acquaintances that are far more valuable then drones. A real woman who loves you will atleast try to process your decision. Stick out your chest and rejioce... there will be tough times but if she is with you they become easier.
