What can they do? NOTHING!!!
They are good in making people feel like shit for not contributing and not giving to " God's appointed men"
Wish they would continue to get sued for millions and millions of dollars.
hey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.
i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.
however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

the national organization for jehovah's witnesses was ordered to pay $13.5 million to a san diego man who says he was abused as a child by his bible teacher.

Great news.
We need this kind of news daily but feel sorry for the abused.

i am trying to learn more about the answers people receive when they pray about religion.
so i put together a quick 1 minute survey.
He does not answer prayers.
When people pray and things go well they feel God answered ..when don't receive anything they will excuse God as "he knows best" or " that's not his will"
God cannot do any wrongs , he's always being excused.
no doubt you have heard about the nurse that thumbed her nose to the state and went out of the house in spite of being ordered to stay at home.
what is your opinion on this?.
.
Call Donald Trump....he has the answer to everything.
i have all my family in the cult and was brought up in it myself.
although mentally i'm out if i leave i loose all my family and that would break my heart.
i've somehow got to fly under the radar and not be detected.
I moved to a Spanish congregation even though did not speak the language...everyone thought i moved to learn the language and to help out.
You become a visitor in the congregation, few will speak to you,elders will leave you alone, eventually i started missing meeting and elders did not care since you were never involved in the cong. or went out in service. Elders in English congrration lost track or did not care.
Two months later i stopped all together, it was a beautiful fade.
Eventually the family will find out about you and you will get the pressure. Don't know the way out when you have family in the organization.
I wonder down deep if most witnesses still believe in trumpet crap in Revelation applied to them.
Always had doubts when i was in.
i remember many years ago we would talk about those who leave the org.
something bad will happen to them.
because god was mad at them for turning away from the wt.
What do you expects the witness to say? Of course they will try to put fear in the hearts of those worshipping the watchtower.
Life is good outside the congregation and feel sorry for those grudgenly still knocking on doors.
anyone have any leaks on this three hour meeting we are having early november?.

hi everyone, im begining to notice patterns of mental issues in the congregations and among the witnesses as a group.
do you think this is a trend in the entire world or is it exagerated in this organization?.
.
Nothing new. Half of the body of elders where i served were on Prozac as were many others in the congregation.
Don't know the % whether it's higher than the common population but for being the " happiest people on earth"
don't have much to show for it.
i have been lurking on this site for many years.
i rarely post anything, because my english isnt the best and not sure if anyone understands.
i just recently had a run in with an elder, have not seen him in a few years.
You can't argue, you have no argument. He believes and you don't.
Don't say anything against the watchtower because he might be the type to push for DF.
Often when i'm talking to JW i just tell them i don't believe the bible anymore...that's it...conversation ends and there is no argument.
