How do I handle this situation?

by BarelyThere in

hey everyone.

i'm sorry that this isn't a very thought provoking post but i could really use some advice on how to handle this.

there isn't anyone else in my life i can ask right now because, being dfed, all of my friends are "worldly" and don't know how witnesses function.

Sounds like you don’t get it.

You’re the sinner here. Put your head down and do your time.

And don’t forget, even if the elders really begin to think you just might be repentant and have some regrets, they will take into consideration how the congregation’s going to feel about an early reinstatement.

It sounds by the comments made that everyone believes you played the ‘get rid of my crappy husband free’ card. If that is the case the elders will probably tack on more time just to put the fear of God into anyone else thinking of copying your idea.

So grab yourself a chair and put your patience hat on. It’s only been a few months. You could be in for a long haul.

P.S. if you want to lengthen the process, keep your boyfriend or marry him. It will confirm their suspicions.

Just found out their about to baptise my 14 year old boy.

by Crazyguy in

there doing this right under my nose but i just found out.

not sure what to do but would like your help on getting me wt information on my headship role and how they shouldn't be doing this with out my permission.

also would like some help on showing my son the ramifications on what happens to someone when they get baptized and how they'll expect him to treat me.

Perhaps you should concentrate on your wife. Point out local examples of baptised and unbaptised kids in your area that have left. Accentuate the difference in the family dynamics depending on the kids baptismal status. Bring up the very real possibilities of what could happen to her 14 year old. Ask her if she really wants to be forbidden all contact with her son for the rest of her life. I think most moms need to be warned...and reminded often. They really suffer when it happens. And it does. Often.

Were the elders informed about the construction shutdown?

by LevelThePlayingField in

anybody know?

Heard a well-connected elder asked Jehovah in his prayer to help the brothers deal with their disappointments. The person who told me knows I know more about jw.org than before I faded so she asked me what his prayer could mean. I tried to break the news to her gently telling her I sure hoped it wasn't because they began building the tower without calculating if they could finish it.

I don't believe a letter is necessary. Elders can't keep a secret. J-dubs love to gossip. Everyone is going to know someone affected. Layed off people are going to start turning up in congregations and finally.... this is BIG news! Jehovah's chariot is having mechanical problems.

The Org Gets Worse!

by The Searcher in

how sick and sanctimonious can the scumbags at brooklyn get?.

in the very last kingdom ministry ever concocted, here is what is being presented to congregations as "spiritual food":.

week starting december 28.

The GB should appoint Paul Lagno (spelling?) to represent all the brothers needing Jehovah's help. Marc Sanderson introduced Paul to everyone at 42:00 in the April 2015 broadcast. I nominate Paul. I believe he would be great for the position because: 1. He is a worldly trained engineer; 2. He has bargained with Jehovah and evidently has his ear; and 3. He actually succeeded in getting Jehovah to put the other 8 million suffering J-dubs on hold and find a fix for his worldly company's leak.

I vote we give Paul the Praying to Jehovah Hat.

Please support Paul.

Jehovah's Chariot slams into reverse!

by apocalypse in

the question i will be asking dubs at the hall this week is, "since jesus is directing the slave.... why has he done a 180..?".

last sunday we studied how jesus is directing the slave to build an average of 5 kingdom halls a day since 2000. why has he changed his mind and gone in the completely opposite direction?.

if this 'change' is not securely lodged in their craw by the time i am through, then i will eat my hat..

Evidently Jehovah’s chariot has been stolen and the thief is pulling U-eys

Just two weeks in our new home and the knock at the door happens!!

by truthseekeriam in

just relaxing with my morning coffee enjoying looking at the pictures fipper shared of the camping trip when the dreaded knock came.

of course the dogs beat me to the door followed by my daughter trying to catch them, she looks through the giant peep hole and waves me away saying "its them.

" i almost just walked away from the door when i saw the sweet face of a 5/6 year old little boy with his mom and dad and couldn't resist talking to them.. i opened the door and smiled and said jehovah's witnesses?

truthseekeriam why don't you text that poor sister You Tube links to the JW testimony before the Royal Commission? She probably won't text you again and who knows she might learn TTATT!

by atacrossroads in

i stopped regulary attending meetings and going in field service in january.

the elders have left me alone for the most part i think because of my jw husband.

last week my parents came over and told me i needed to come back to meetings.

Keep strong. You're doing great. We got a lot of pressure. Just kept saying "It's personal. We're not comfortable talking about it." And we won. You will win too.

Brother Jackson's testimony, sworn on the silver sword, re. letting people leave freely is a disgrace to his God, his Bible and his cult.
