  Heads Up: If you are an older JW, WT has no further use for you!

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  2. beliefs

  wt is retiring district overseers, has sent older jws serving at bethel packing despite years of faithful service, and as of june 1, 2014, has announced that any elder that has reached 80 years of age is no longer valued or wanted as a cobe.

  in wt land it would appear that older people have little or no value, and wt sees no reason to use them in any meaningful capacity.

  i wonder how this makes older ones feel after devoting their lives to wt's interests while shelving their own hopes and dreams?.

  But AndDon'tCallMe Shirley you are talking about normal people who did great things in their Golden Years. After being brain dead for most of ther life in the cult. I have seen many older ones had a hard time understanding all the changes that take place every other year. My poor Dad when he got older had a hard time keeping up with all that new light the cult was dishing out. What I see is the Wt. wants younger drones to watch over the Wt. interest and when they are 80 they can enjoy all the blessings the cult has given them. Still Totally ADD

  Atlanta Int Convention 2014:The Big Party. Does this look like WT believes Armageddon is coming "soon"?

  .. if armageddon is "imminent", why is wt focused on sight-seeing, entertainment, travel, etc.

  instead of preaching and saving people??.

  The last time I was in Atlanta for a convention was in 1969. Open stadium during the day close to 100 degrees then the rain storms came in with all the lightning then the steam bath. Nine in the morning to nine at night 7 or 8 days long. It took over a week to get well becuase of all the extreme heat. No party's, not tours not even any ice. There was a ice shortage that week because of the heat. Only nonsense the big A was almost here. I was 15 at the time and that is the only convention I remember and hate to this day. The way they treated people back then is just unbelievable. I would have learned more if I stayed home and fish off my dock behind my parents house. LOL Still Totally ADD

  Twilight Zone

  by Ding in

  i just watched a rerun of the twilight zone episode where billy mumy played an omnipotent boy named anthony.. everyone had to pretend that anything he did was wonderful even if it terrified them.. they had to do anything to please him so as not to incur his wrath.. one guy got sick of it and told him off.. he begged the others to end the nightmare by killing the kid and thereby getting their lives back.. when they did nothing, the boy turned him into a jack-in-the-box and sent him into a cornfield.. the other adults were horrified, but smiled and told anthony it was a fine, fine thing that he just did.. when i saw it this time, it reminded me of how the wts functions.. the gb claims divine authority to run every aspect of jws' lives.. those who stand up to it are demonized and cast away.. the rest have to suppress any negative feelings and be "happified," lest they suffer the same fate..

  I agree with punkofnice. They are a grabbing disease of a cult. But the die hards will stick with it. No matter what proof you showed them. The more enlighten ones on the other hand may finally wake up and leave. We can only hope. But even if that happen the Wt. would put a spin on it like this. "Dear Brothers and Sisters who have remained from this mass exist this just show us they do not love us and god. We have proof we are truly living in the last days. Satan is working very hard to take us away from our oversight. We must be strong and not allow this to happen to us. Please send us more money so we can keep this fight aganist Satan wicked attacks from hurting us. After all a rich GB member is a strong GB member." LOL Still Totally ADD

  I saw this coming when a letter was read to our BOE back in 2010 just before I step down. The letter said it wanted the Wt. name on all checking accounts if possible. Our body was more than willing to do it. The Wt. reason was it would be easier for them to take the money each month instead of the congregation wiring them or sending a check. I could not believe what I was hearing. All I could do was keep my mouth shut knowing I was getting out of this cult. So this is no big surprise to me but it falls in line with everything else the Wt. is doing. Still Totally ADD

  I see what you are saying but I feel there will always be those who will cling to it no matter what. I think of my brother who is now 71 years old, in 10 years he wil be 81. If the Wt. was gone or changed really big time I feel he would be one to stick with it because of being to old to change. His hopes all but gone he will reason this is still god's organization. In many ways he has change in his thinking at one time he believed he would never grow old and die now he tells me he and his wife are waiting to die and be ressurected in the future. So I feel the thinking of many will change but the core of this cult will still be around. Still Totally ADD

  Final post I can't come to this forum anymore!

  i have come to the conclusion that posting here and visiting this site is not healthy for me anymore.

  i just get angry and upset when i read all the stories of injustice and corruption that go on in the jehovahs witness religion.

  they are true no doubt, as i have personally experienced many injustices and abuses in my life from being a witness.
