  A QUESTION FOR JW'S who say, "The brothers were overly zealous" about 1975

  by Terry in

  "what was the actual significance of that year, then?".

  if jw's were overly zealous, what was the exact amount of zeal encouraged by the wts for a non-event which took up.

  over 7 years of every jw's time?.

  Ri was around for all the hype, leading up to 75, it was NEVER a few overzealous jw's jumping the gun! It all came from on high. F. Franz came to a special event in Alabama, around 74, he spoke very frankly about the excitement building at bethel, and with friends from around the world, reports were coming in, of so many turning there hands to the pioneer service, and that those in school, should also turn to that never to be repeated work, that was rushing to keep up with the kingdom!

  At the urging of the co, and elders, I and so many quit school, and set out to pioneer!

  Sad to say i heard it on the phone. One way out there case, likened jw's org to a protective jail cell, that were all put in for our own good. Then she went on to say how some are just not happy, and keep tryingtrying to break free! And end up in terrible shape lost on the outside, so wishing they were back in!

  Will They Continue To Take Your Money After Booting You Out?

  by steve2 in

  automatic bank payments & being disfellowshipped.

  as noted on this site, the organization has in place numerous electronic provisions for people to donate money, ranging from one-off payments through to monthly automatic payments from donors' bank accounts into the organization's.. this is all well and good - and consistent with what lots of organizations - religious or otherwise - do.. but, should a donor be disfellowshipped - or disassociated - is the pre-selected donation provision stopped by the organization itself?

  do they have any policy at all on it?

  They will keep cashing checks dfed people write!

  I have known a few true believers that were dfed, and felt it was justified. They kept right on dropping checks in the box, and the elders involved, said it was proof of repentance, that they were still donating!

  Warwick Building Project Fluff Stories

  by bruh2012 in

  talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.

  throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!

  i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

Went up months ago. So far i don't think they have got to help at all! Except to provide rooms for others coming to work, invited!

  My oldest brother went to the big house back in 1970. He could not take it, and after six months called wanting to come home, my dad said NO! Hell NO! A month later he just left, with a dollar in his pocket. It took the great ones 3 weeks to call and inquire as to his wearabouts. That was the first we knew of him not being there, and they ask us not to tell anyone. It was 6 month's later that he showed up, at his best friends apartment. He had hicked hiked and bummed around, most of the southern half of the US, from the east coast, to the west. It took my dad a yaer to be civil to him. And the cong longer to stop acting like he was the biggest sinner of all times!!!!!
