  S*** JW Parents Say

  by Dissonant15 in

  1. social
  2. family

  my mom especially had some go-to phrases that to this day echo in my head and piss me off.

  things like, .

  "don't get mad at me for enforcing the rules, because jehovah made them, so if you don't like it, you're disrespecting him.

  i just read an email from a friend, and she shared some very interesting emails from her friends about information on changes now happening at the bethels around the world.

  here is the email: .

  ---------------------------------thanks sally, jesus is directing the org and all decisions and instructions to us may not seem practical from now on, neither will we understand the reasonings behind many of the changes that the organization makes.

  I have been told that they are considering closing and selling the canada branch and the UK branch and moving printing back to wallkill and the German Branch.

  Rumors about closing UK or European Branch (Selters) are still going on since some month. I know since july 2015 - that the UK warehouse ist transfered to Selters in germany.

  i just texted a very good remote worker friend, said i heard that there is a reduction in force coming at bethel and i hoped he wouldn't be affected.

  .

  he said its true, its not a rumor.

  I can confirm from the european branch Selters in germany.

  Now also Bethelites older 60 and older 70 have to leave Selters.

  Brooklyn decides for the older 60 and the GB decides for the older 70 - if they have to leave or not. It no longer depends, how long they are Bethelites.
  
  A group of brothers from US looking into every branch - to do so.

  For me it's very disgusting.

  The Loyalty Question

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  how many here have been asked the loyalty question by an elder.

  i am referring to, "do you believe that jehovah is using the faithful and discreet slave class to accomplish his work?

  " or something along this line?.

  1942 Book "The New World"

  by Debra Ann Romano in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i grew up in a magnificent, 3-story, greek revival house on the once very rural staten island ny.

  the house was originally part of a huge compound, cannery, farm, and wbbr radio station owned by the watchtower society.

  my late grandparents purchased 1065 woodrow rd in 1957 and that is where i spent the next 12 years of my life.

  Wouldnt it be funny to get the names of all those elderly "brothers" and "sisters", that were on the cover of that magazine, and find out which ones have passed away.

  Here it is, scroll down to the buttom: http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/generation.php

  Korean news with my story...

  by AntiEntropy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i joined this site 12 years ago and i revisited it yesterday to get some information on coc's status.. .

  frankly saying, i've tried to be a complete ex-ex-jw so that ex-jw things would not drive my life mad.

  due to my linguistic barrier of writing in a foreign language, 12 years ago, i could not but read and read and read this site.

  Great story - thanks for sharing.

  I like daddy's question number 5 a lot, because I never thought this way

  5. If anonymous donation, why written service report?

  Given the special care we're giving to our inactive ones, we ask your secretary to prepare an additional letter about witnesses, who became inactive in service year 2015. Please specify their names, surnames, age and a short summary about what you think was the cause for their current situation.

  The S-10 form will have a attachment for fastJehu like this:

  We asked him and he told us, that he was looking the video from Geoffrey Jackson on the Royal Commission in Australia. Brother Jackson said in the video, that to be inactive is possible and this person will not be controlled or hunted by a JW-police-state.

  Mrs. Eden
  I had this idea; I'lll use the fact that I'm bipolar as an excuse. I'll start missing some of the meetings and I'll say that I don't feel ok, that I feel sick.
  I'll start to fade from the meetings and field service.
  Is that a good strategy?
  what do you think?

  Remember: You don't need any excuse. :-)

  If you give any JW a excuse, they will judge you for your excuse.

  You could say: It is between me and jehovah.
