  Assembly News Photo

  this photograph from a news site is a succinct summary of a life in wt's hands....... look at their faces, it says it all.. also, note the watchtower pr machine in action, explaining that it brings 4 million dollars to the location.

  (10,000 x 400 dollars) clearly a watchtower statistic, where is the care and interest for members who are struggling so much, with new videos encouraging less career activity, less work commitments, at an all time economic low for our generation.. http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2014/06/15/thousands-attend-watchtower-convention-in-cornwall.

  father: "i'm a wt 'yes' man and proud of it!

  do parents here feel a strong sense of responsiblity for raising their children as witnessess?

  an xwitness friend was saying she and her husband feel very bad for having brought up their children as witnesses and they feel they want to make amends but are unable to do so.

  what advice would you give them.

  Nugget that was a heart wrenching story. But it shows how you did take responsibility to get your child out of a enviroment that was harmful to you son. You are to be admired for what you are doing. I remember as a child hearing all that crap about killing and death and I know what it did to my emotional well being I can just imagine what your son went through. You are right elders are not trained in anything that does not have to do with field service or DF someone. But like it was said the Wt. has had many years to fine tune their cult like thinking and are masters at controling people. Thank you for your story and best wishes to your son and family.

  At one time I thought I was doing the right thing for my kids bringing them up in the Wt. Cult. Of course I did not think of it as a cult then like I do now. I wish I never heard of the Wt. Now both my wife and I in our 60's can't see our grand kids. One child has told us to stay away from our grand kids until we get help and then he will determine if that help worked. What ever that means. But we did raise them in this cult and are resposibile for this out come. All they know is mind control and cult reasoning. They are both in their 30's and to them mom and dad are out of their minds. And since they think they know better than us they feel they have the upper hand on us. What they don't understand is time keeps going on and if they wait to long we may not be around to talk to them. My hope is the grand kids when they grow up will seek us out and find out why we was not around them when they was growing up. Yes I have great regret for bringing them up in the Wt. Cult. But at this point in our live's all my wife and I can do is move forward and hope our kids see the light on of these days. Still Totally ADD P.S. I did not see my wife's thread on this until I klick this message on.

  Whatever happen to the teaching that the parents by their being baptised protects the child for the child in under their protection? It's so strange how this is suppose to be the most important thing you will ever do in your life yet we want children to do it. Why are they not pushing them to get married before they are teenagers or buying a house or drive a car. Oh they are not of legal age but in Wt. cult world it's OK for them to get baptised. I was 16 when I got baptised and I still did not know what I was doing. They use to look down their nose at other reglions that baptised children now they are doing it. Like it was said they are a cult and cult's do crazy things and think it's right because they feel they have God on their side. What a joke. Still Totally ADD

  Don't forget the world looked like it was on it's last leg. Viet. war for the U.S., riots, assasination for prominent leaders, pollution, crime, space flight to the moon. All this going on and then more. As a child in the cult I could not get past that the Wt. was right. That chart at the time looked very accurate to me. But I was a kid I knew nothing else. I had no way of disproving it. Now I can see through all of it. I just shows you how strong mind control is. They misled many but at the same time was able to get past it and become even more powerful. That is what cluts are good at. Still Totally ADD

  I like Sheldon statement when he told everyone "I am not crazy my mother had me tested". I love it when Bob Newhart guest starred on the program. At his age he still has it. It's hard for me to pick which one I like the most because they play off of each other so will. If one of them left I think the show would soon end. Still Totally ADD

  Born-in. Was dipped in 1970 at 16 years of age. I thought it would really help me stop thinking about girls and also I did not want to be killed in 1975. Woke up in 2008 took a few years to fad then finally in Jan. 2011 at 56 years of age both my wife and I have never been to a meeting since. Moved in april of 2011 1000 miles away from were we came from. Life is much, much better now that we are totally out. Still Totally ADD

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

  by AndDontCallMeShirley in

  1. watchtower
  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

  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
