What silly rules did your congregation make up?
by weinermcgee inelders were famous for making up stupid rules with no bible base at all as an ego trip i guess, what were some of yours?
i am not talking about the stupid rules that we all had to follow, just the congregation specific silly ones.. 1. having to button your jacket while on stage (this was later changed due to all the elders having a beer gut).
2. suits only or no privledges.

I just don't know where to start. I went to the ws book, and showed her where it said, Jesus is the mediator for only 144,000, and not all mankind. She said, that must be some mistake, they can't teach that. And then my mom cried. She said, I wont leave Jehovah, I wont. They must have made a mistake. So now she is writing to Bethel to get them to tell her if this is true. She said, forget the elders, I'm going to the top. But then she said, will it really matter. I can't leave my god. I can't leave Jehovah. No matter what, I love him. If this is wrong, I just wont believe that one teaching. I hated seeing her cry. She's my mom. I hate seeing anyone cry to be honest. I still have hope, one day she'll come to terms that the wts isn't god. The two are not the same. I just cannot thank you all enough.
Mrs. Ozzie, you're right, I need a new translation. I still use my old bible.

Oh My, I surely did not think that there was this much information. I can't thank you all enough. (I've been saying that a lot lately. Don't know what I would do without you all) I need to go thru my boxes and see if I can find the original mags/bound vol.
Oroborus, I must have missed this one. I was always told that confession was wrong. That it was wrong for Catholics to confess. Because a priest is just a man. So why confess to the elders? I know, I know, no one has the answers. That is just new to me.
Leolaia, What is *** ws chap. 1 pp. 10-11? I should know what ws is, but I don't.
Kid-A- I don't get it either.

Last night my Mom and I were talking. She asked me to give her one reason other than the UN and 607 why I can't go back to the kh. I told her, Jesus is my mediator. The society says, he's only there for the 144,000. Jesus is for them, and the society is for the great crowd. She told me she has never heard of such a thing, and I need to get my facts straight.I said, I learned that while I was studying, years ago. And it says it in the insight/aid book. (they both say the same thing) She said I misunderstand what is written. Is this anywhere else? Or am I really misunderstanding things?
Edited for spelling.

"We aren't prideful, we are just giving credit to God's organization"
by Check_Your_Premises ini reply, "well if that were true, then why do you have to run down all the other christians?".
jw response: "nobody is attacking them personally.
it is the teachings.

I do love asking my Mom, where did you learn that this or that church teaches this or that. She tells me, she read it in a publication. My reply is, so I should believe what other churches teach about JW?
I don't see the point in attacking another persons beliefs, and tell her, if you don't want people to pick yours apart, why do you do it to others?
