  By JWs' standards, I'm a goner.

  I've given up on the idea.

  JWs Love It When Something Bad Happens To Ones Who Have Left The "Truth"

  by minimus in

  did you ever notice how jws act when they hear that an inactive jw or a df'd person had something bad happen to them?

  almost with glee, they give that *look* that says, "we told you so".

  Minimus,

  I know what you're referring to. YES, they love it, love it, love it when something goes wrong with someone that leaves the Organization. Sad.

  Question about the JW Hurricane Katrina "Relief"

  by Brymichmom in

  1. jw

  it was relayed to me by a friend that in order for jw's to get "help" from other jw's, that they needed to fill out a form (to make sure that they were jw's) and answer questions concerning how active they are and meeting attendance.

  if the meeting attendance was low or if they were "inactive", then they weren't going to be taken in or helped.

  in the situation that was relayed to me, a jw woman with a couple of teenaged girls was asking for help.

  YES!!!

  Only JWs in 'good standing' receive the help as soon as possible. All others: Inconsistent, inactives, disassociated, disfellowshipped, FORGET ABOUT IT!!!

  Last year, when Charlie hit SW Florida, applications for help would have to be filled out and approved by the 'service committee'. So, if there was anyone that wasn't in 'good standing', the service committee would catch it and not approve the help.

  Whatever they could do to help only their own, and those are their very own and not those that are just warming up a seat once in a while.

  There are plenty well-off inside the WBTS.

  In the congregation I attend most are doing pretty well for themselves if you'd measure it by the cars driven and the houses/land they own.

  occasionally, a group of us 'spiritually weaklings' have gotten together and gone out dancing to a large city close by. We love to dance. It's quite a good time.

  Friday nights are special in my house. As firm a JW as my hubby is, still on Friday evenings we manage to have a couple of drinks either alone or with other 'friends'. We play games, dance, talk, laugh. Or sometimes just go out to eat and rent a couple of movies to watch at home.

  Many times on Friday nights we go out to eat some place, then come back home to have a drink or two. All done in good taste and moderately.

  Love those Friday nights!!!

  I could see this happening.

  The WBTS is outstanding when it comes to gathering its interests, be it people or real estate.

  No doubt in my mind that JWs will do very well during these times of distress while others will struggle horribly through it.

  JWs, specially the ones in 'good standing' do extremelly well during tough times. They stick together like glue!
