So, would we call the GB our Uncles, Aunts, Sisters or Cousins???

by stuckinarut2 in

ok, so try and follow me here.... according to jw doctrinal teachings, the gb are "christ's brothers".

humans are all "god's children".

so does that make the gb our "uncles"?.

According to JW doctrinal teachings, the GB are "Christ's Brothers".

Humans are all "God's children"

So does that make the GB our "uncles"?

BUT, everyone is also "God's children"

So does that make them our "Brothers" too?

BUT, The anointed GB are also called "The Bride of Christ".

So does that make them our "Aunts" or our "Cousins"??

And, if they are "God's children" and "Jesus bride", that sounds very incestuous!

Thoughts??

Spirit directed vs inspired

by Jules Saturn in

i've always been confused as to what the discrepancy is between the phrases "spirit directed/spirit led" and "inspired".

in the february 2017 watchtower study article, paragraph 12 says:.

12 the governing body is neither inspired nor infallible.

Governing Body: " It is really quite simple....just do everything we tell you, because we are God's channel of communication "

Episode 8 - Get Out Of Her, My People - It All Came Tumbling Down - Is Now Out

by dubstepped in

episode 8 - get out of her, my people - it all came tumbling down, is now out.

this is a long one and the next to last in my story.

there comes a point in life when you know too much to ever go back to the person you once were, or to the cult that you once called home.

Thanks buddy!

I only just checked this morning...must have missed it by a few hours!

Keep up the good work!

trying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).

my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.

that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.

WOW!

There is little more I can add that everyone has not already said. Simply deplorable behaviour.

Treasure every moment with your wonderful little girl.

Also, treasure the new form that the relationship with your ex has taken as your little girl's mother.

My sincerest Love to you mate!

Another example of the smothering and high control nature of JW husbands

by stuckinarut2 in

i have noticed another popular pattern of behaviour amongst witnesses in recent years.. many, and i mean lots of ones with instagram accounts have closed the wife's account, and have started a "couple's" account instead.

also, for families.

the children's accounts have been closed, and the husband starts a "family account".. it is mainly on the husband's device, and seemingly under his control.

stuckinarut2

Thanks for your comment wallsofjericho.

Ill admit that I can allow anger to cloud my view at times. Point taken.

And as others have pointed out, there is a case for parents overseeing their minor children's social media accounts.

But for an adult husband to prevent his wife from having her own IG account? For their account to be on his device ? That is just odd, and unhealthy imo.
