  Thorn in the Elders' Side

  by IronSharpensIron in

  i've been out of the jw for some time.

  but i was just recalling this guy that had formerly been an elder, but had not agreed with the rest of the elders on some issues and had stepped down.

  he continued to go to the meetings, make comments at the hall and be critical of the elders.

  If they don't want to actually SPEAK with passer-by, then this should be the sign on the carts!:

  If the "society" were a person, he would be disfellowshipped!

  that realisation struck me the other day!.

  if the society was an individual person, he would be disfellowshipped!

  well, he has had a history of telling mistruths, half truths and distortions of facts.

  oh wow!

  if you haven't yet watched the feb2017 broadcast, strap yourself in for a ride!!.

  ( perhaps watch john cedars review of it on his youtube channel as it is better than watching the official one.

  The "Return to Jehovah" brochure has been renamed "Return to Sender".

  Sorry to hear that you are going through tough times.

  Rejoining a cult will NOT help you! It will simply seem to provide a measure of stability and structure for your life, along with a comforting hope. But that is it.

  You will become burdened with a new set of issues as you strive to meet up with all the expectations placed on you.

  You will become burdened with FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt)

  May I suggest that if you feel like your life is lacking guidance or structure, seek professional mental health assistance. Many here have done so, and it will help you to regain control over your life, and answers as to the "lost" feelings you are experiencing.

  Love and Best wishes!

  New Watchtower - Can You Look Beyond Outward Appearances?

  by ttdtt in

  how ironic that they have asked jws to not look past - tight pants - so called "affectations" - beards - long hair - short hair - and like 1000 other meaningless and trivial things.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-june-2017/can-you-look-beyond-outward-appearances/.

  WOW!

  This is a HUGE about-face move!

  Combine this with the implied negative comments about "kevin" from the bunker videos at last years convention, and we have the makings of a cult in damage control!

  They don't want anyone still in to have opportunity for those that have awoken to influence others!

  Endure or Enjoy??

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have we ever noticed how witnesses are constantly being told that life is something that needs to be "endured", rather that "enjoyed"?.

  life is always so tough, so hard, so difficult in "these last days".

  "persecution and trials abound".

  So I was just talking with my father who is still very much "in". He was speaking of how "tough things are getting in this system"

  Then he was speaking of a friend of his, a witness "brother". This "brother's" wife is not a witness, and my father says "But she is nice though".

  I pulled him up and said "why wouldn't she be nice? Why did you draw that negative conclusion that because she was not a witness, that she might not be a "Nice" person!

  Mind boggling!
