  Mom says, "CO says there's only 15 years left!"

  by Separation of Powers in

  i don't typically hear from my mom often, but i tell you, over the past couple of weeks, i have heard from her several times.

  you heard the comment about "our way of worship will be altered" and thank you for your posts by the way....but yesterday, she calls and is asking about the kids and then, in typical jw fashion mind you, says:.

  "you know, you should really get back to meetings.

  Jehovah? for commanding people to go to war, take slaves, and plunder. contrary to the commandments of not to kill.

  [do as I say not as I do ,lol]
  

  hmm, how about a sex craved  Solomon?  or rahab?  even jesus, he had a temper, tossing over those tables.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses Shun?

  by lurkernomore in

  just checked the faq on jw.org as i wanted to show a df'd friend of ours how dishonest they were being about thier shunning policy.. well don't you know they've only gone and got honest about shunning df'd ones:.

  'we do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin.

  if, however, a baptized witness makes a practice of breaking the bibles moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped.

  so the next time someone is on the hot seat, shall they print that statement up,

  and hold it up for those who are on the  judicial committee to read?
  

  and then say to them,  what about this, which use of the word , moral,  will you use today?
  

  what is deceiving is the use of the word 'moral' which can be interpreted in many ways to suit the situation, and thus apply it to 'principals' not morals.

  and those principals of those men who are on the seat of judgment.

  after showing my wife the 'trolley song' as we now call it, she was rolling on the floor in embarrassment and shock.. she shook her head, and was clearly troubled by what we watched.. little by little, the org is actually helping more to wake up!

  Elephants and JWs never forget

  my mother in law lost her husband to cancer recently.

  so feeling lonely and been pushed by her sister (active witness) after not stepping in a hall for 20 years she went to a sunday meeting.

  one meeting where she had the surreal experience of having to watch a "special talk" on jw tv.

  "Are you old in this system?" Feb 2015 broadcast video. Must watch

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you have not already watched the feb 2015 broadcast, go to approx.

  it has an elderly sister talking about being old in this world...a long time pioneer who probably thought the end would have come years ago...as the society told her many times.. now she is told to be on a mission to get young ones to also pioneer, and watch for the not so subtle condemntion of higher education!.

  sickening stuff........ they missed the obvious elephant in the room.... a life wasted on nothing...now she has no money, and lived waiting for a fairy tale!

  label licker, that is exactly what  by their fruits you will recognize them.
  

  so they are  too busy for her, yet the teaching thats it wrong for her make additional friends who do have time for her.

  the wt org breaks up families and make people depressed. who wants it anyway.
