Hi All,
That's who JW's were before they were JW's. Nothing makes them happy. Somehow, while here on earth they werer looking for a Eutopia, they found the Truff..& now they see, not even in the truff is a Eutopia, they have found out the friends are just like folks in the world...shhh...don't tell a witness..guess what? You are in the world too....I think by nature they are cheap..they don't celebrate holidays, so they have more money than most folks, but they don't think they have to buy anything...yet, I tell them, spend a little, save a little...They can buy & own, but if you are a study or a newbie (like me). They say keep a simple eye...I have been to several of the witnesses homes (not apartments they rent) homes..& they are beautiful. Big Screen TV's, new cars, etc. yet they tell you, Keep it Simple.
What comes to mind is...Eccl. 3:1-15...there is a time for everything...to be balanced.
Most of them are not really sick, they are surpressed, so because many don't go on sites like these to vent, their bodies turn against them. When they start coming to the hall, that's when they really pour on the complaining...WHY? because it looks like you are being more religious...Can't stand this system, it's to make them look more noble & they think God is really pleased at them for groaning in this system. Also, they have ailments to start a medical chart, so when they are missing, the friends will say, You know I haven't seen Sister or Brother so & so...but you know they suffer with.....& this is on-going...if it ain't allergies, it's stomach, if not that, knees, hips, & so on.
They are out in service & walk more than the man who made the sidewalks. They are out in the open air..so shouldn't they be more healthier than most. They eat healthy foods or so they say...many of them are closet eater or over eaters..that's to take the place of sex.
They complain about their jobs & how stressful they are...well friends, join the rest of us...That's why they call it WORK. They complain because it's a SHOWY DISPLAY...most of them still have not matured to go past..what it looks like...the sisters go in the bathroom & wipe down the sink...when folks are looking...now I wonder, if no one is there, do they do the same thing...
I'm new. I saw who the witnesses were when I got there...I knew they were just plain folks, & didn't expect them to walk on water...& that suprised them...They do have a superior attitude, but one must look past to see the sadness that is really in them. They really do believe that the ORG. is God's channel...& that's what keeps them going...take that away...they would fall apart....My congregation is nice the friends are nice & I'm ok. I keep my opinions to myself. My thing if they would just stay out of the prediction business, I think most would stay or return.
Think about it, why does the org. want a bunch of scared members ?????
I will try to stay as long as I can stand it....since I'm an older sister, they don't really bother me...I do what I have to do, & then keep it moving..
If I do stay, I hope I don't turn into a complaining JW....
