If a brother or a sister is in a naked state and lacking the food sufficient for the day, 16 yet a certain one of YOU says to them: "Go in peace, keep warm and well fed," but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it? 17 Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.Sums them up...from what I see these days..Wife is faithful but they treat her like dirt....Bunch of Pharisees
Do you know that someone ACTUALLY said that to me!? It was a very spritual self righteous person. I was telling them I had no job and no way to heat the house. They said to me "Stay warm and well fed" thinking that they were actually being encouraging. I was just in shock that they didn't know what they were saying.

"Do you think that the JW's in your congregation care if you're living your life to the fullest or if you're happy?"
Some do. Those that DO care want to make sure that we're NOT living life to fullest.
THIS IS NOT THE REAL LIFE!!
Now get back in line, slacker!!
Blech.
Open Mind
I knew, and know, a lot of JWs that care about me. Because I'm df'd, they don't call, but I know they'd take my call, and would be glad to hear from me, and genuinely inquire about my welfare.
i have an example of their love................. conditional love i should clarify.
i know someone who did it all, reg pio, worked, and went to school, WHILE makeing all the meetings and prepareing for them...... i dont know how she did it. her aunt and uncle had no children so they councilled her on every little thing and claimed that she was the daughter they never had.
she recently lost her house to foreclosure, she had been faceing serious health issues after having her last child and had not worked full time since the end of october last year. her returning to work has been difficult because she is dealing with post partum panic disorder.......... meaning she has panic attacks when leaving her child....... crazy things she imagines and it turns her into a serious wreck. fortunately now she has a diagnosis so she knows what the problem is and that makes her able to deal with it.
the rest of her family either has their own problems finacially or are the kind you dont ask for help cause they would make you pay back with interest. so her mother finds out the house is in danger of being foreclosed upon......... isnt in a situation to help because her house is close to the same situation...... she tells said aunt and she tries to jump in the middle of everything.
now the girl has made plans and moved out to drop her mortgage basicly in half....... wise decision considering. so the aunt wants to eat with this young lady.......... who is no longer a jw but hasnt da or dfed........... and both her aunt and her mother give her both barrels talking stupidness.
the house was beautiful......... it truely was but the fact they wanted $2200 a month up from $1400 that the mortgage was originally.... just makes it impractical........ especially considering she isnt back to 100% yet health wise to allow her normal work. so she took the losss and has been beating herself up about it.
so they accuse her of foolish pride, not letting them help her. why cant she ask the family to help. bullcrap bull crap bullcrap. she says.............. no one is in a position to help so the house is sold............ case closed.
do they let her get away with that........ nooooooooooooooooooooo so finally she got up and left.
her aunt wants the loan information and account number............... which is stupid cause the house sold already so its a moot point.................. how can she help now?
SHE DOSENT WANT TO HELP............ SHE WANTS TO BUY THE DAMN HOUSE FOR HERSELF......... VACATION HOUSE TO GO ALONG WITH HER1.2 million dollar house in florida
yeah............. jws pretend to love you....... untill you dont stomach their bull crap anymore then they roll over you.
If they are in the right clique yes
They care for you as long as you continue to deliver at least 10hrs. a month in circus.
One thing i despised at the elders meeting how those (5 hrs or less) were talked about.
The body of elders never looked at their situations, at the many hours they had to spend at their jobs to pay the bills, raising 3 or 4 kids and so on, the reasons why they could not spend more time in service, they were labeled as weak and lacking faith.
Most of the elders had no mercy. IT WAS ALL ABOUT NUMBERS.
IT WAS ALL ABOUT NUMBERS. Was and still is
Of course they do. Didn't you? They are and we were still human. But yes the cult imprints a condition on the love.
Of course they do
Sorry, but they never went out of their way for me....
Didn't you?.
I went way out of my way for them and then more....
