Don't you all know??

All that media stuff is just made up "satanic propaganda"!!

i was going to reply to another thread, but thought this might deserve a separate topic.. my observations when i was a still in.. the announcement that jesus christ (the co) is visiting our local kh.. would anyone like to "volunteer" their time, money and accommodation for jesus christ.. all ass lickers of said kh come forward to receive jesus christ.

a concerted effort for all to be out in the ministry that week, along with panicking elders visiting homes of those who have not been at the meetings for at least a week, offering "encouragement" so that the number of attendance is up for the week visit.. the self righteous in the kh who would never speak to you (pioneers included) and look down their noses at you all of a sudden start to speak to you.. during the visit, the elders are on their best behavior, thanking everyone who answers up.

the pioneers are martyring themselves by making cakes and practically washing the feet of the jesus christ.. the attendance does rise, with studies being brought along, to show jesus christ what a good little jw they are.. most indoctrinated jw's practically shoot each other to have a turn on the ministry with jesus christ!.

I have observed an undoubtable fact all my life:

The week of the CO visit (or an assembly or convention or memorial too for that matter) brings out the biggest attendances.

BUT the very next meeting has the LOWEST attendances ever! It is almost as if witnesses are so exhausted from the "special week of activity" that they either get sick or are just too tired to keep it up the following week! (Thought it was supposed to be a week to "spur everyone on to better service??)

Anyone else notice this??

Update to: As a Matter of Conscience, I Am Resigning from the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses

by Sail Away in

i just had a two-hour doctor's appointment (treatment for branch retinal vein occlusion) that requires screenings, scans, dilation, anesthetic and injection, etc.

this makes it necessary to spend a lot of time in the waiting room..

my former p.o., book study conductor and later field service overseer was there and greeted me in a friendly way.

As sir and sparky said, you struck his genuine personality.

However, he also did the "love bombing" thing by trying to say how "the friends think warmly of you".

The best thing you did was show that you are living a happy and successful life. You are not bitter or unhappy. Show them you have dignity and self respect. (Most witnesses cant understand how this is possible. They are told that all who leave are bitter, unhappy and have lives that are full of problems)

Will the GB ever humble themselves as Jesus admonished in Matt 20 20-28

by UnshackleTheChains in

in his book crisis of conscience, raymond franz likened the governing body to the proverbial 'iron fist in a velvet glove'.

this would seem harsh if it weren't for the fact that there is ample proof that their policies and teachings have caused much pain amongst the friends.

for example, many families have been torn apart through their shunning policy.

Humility involves recognising where you have been wrong. Even with all of the world authorities pointing out their errors in the handling of child abuse, the society has never admitted that they were wrong.

I sadly think that answers the question

by gerry in

just doing research and came across this.. i know this is old however.

here we have a worldly organisation distributing pamphlets and warning parents about child abuse.. last point in particular.

3) inform the child that what happened is against the law and that it is necessary to report it to the police so that it will not happen again.. pretty straight forward if you ask me.. watchtower were happy to use that in their magazine.

Great find.

Why don't the society apply their own quoted words.?

Knock knock."Who's there? Two elders!!

by Darkknight757 in

so today was a cold and snowy day in my neck of the woods and the wife and i were just chilling around the house waiting to go to the church tonight for a candle lighting service when lo and behold we get a knock on the door.

yup, 2 elders from my old hall.

i figured they were fishing for some time so i invited them in and gave them some coffee and we talked about everything that happened and why we walk away from the jw's.

stuckinarut2

You do know that they're going to come back and ask you the question, " do you believe this is gods organisation?"

So when will the Society produce a comedy video on JWorg?

by stuckinarut2 in

so according to 1 tim 1:11 jehovah is supposed to be a "happy god".. so when will we see "his people" produce a comedy video of some sort for the website?.

if you could propose an idea or storyline, what would it be?.

stuckinarut2

Oh I know that most of the stuff they actually put out is laughable already.....(just not intentionally)😜
