Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled

by TMS in

it was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.

the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.

the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.

The Watchtower rejected the offer as they could never submit to a lowly 'sister' instructing elders, circuit overseers, bethelites, district overseer, ministerial servants and brothers.

Problem solved. The Watchtower contacted the regulatory body and asked them to organize a training program at a substantial cost per head.

The regulatory body arranged for a qualified instructor and teacher to conduct the course. They looked at their list of licensed instructors in the area and sent the most qualified.

Imagine the surprise for all these brothers assembled at a local kingdom hall when the instructor and teacher that was sent was the actual sister, who they had to pay $500 fees for plus $25 per head instruction.

Idiots with 1950's mentality. Best story ever

Rank & file are seeing the money-grubbing

by Zoos in

spoke with a fellow apostate from my own area.

she and i bailed out about the same time and kept in touch.. she used to do secular work with one of the local elders in his cleaning business until she got dfed.

this same elder was one of the more profound dickheads on my reinstatement committee, before i turned around two years later and daed.. business required her to contact the elder on behalf of an old client.

The rank and file are seeing all kinds of problems. When you are forbidden to even whisper a criticism. All you have left is your wallet to vote with. Smart companies use exit interviews and spend huge sums surveying customers and make adjustments. The Watchtower Corporation tells you, you have a bad attitude. Sit down and shut up.

Why are anniversaries allowed but not birthdays?

by hyperpen in

the scripture quotes aside, i was always told that we don't celebrate birthdays because that is a celebration of the self, which has no place in jehovah's organization.

then why celebrate anniversaries?

anniversary celebrations are about the joining of two selves, isn't that twice as selfish?.

aintenoughwiskey

Sneaking around for 10 years and doing the nasty with the seven headed beast of Revelation is OK.

Birthdays and swimming at the Y and its eternal damnation.

What part dont you understand?

Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

by sir82 in

jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

aintenoughwiskey

If an organisation cant survive a google search. Its over!

It won’t be much longer now.

a couple weeks back my husband got a phone call from his brother, whom he hasn’t spoken to in nearly 17 years.

well i take that back, he did speak to him at the family reunion, asking him to leave.

my husband basically told him to f off, he would leave when he’s darn good and ready, but he didn’t use the word darn.

I use textfree to keep irritating people up to date with negative JW news, pedophiles, murderers ARC, etc. You could create a fake tinder account w sisters pic. When you see her, big smile and wave. For everyone else, mispronounce, or forget their or kids, spouse name. This says I think of you so little, I can't remember your name.

Don't believe anyone is up there listening - said a prayer anyway out of sense of obligation

by Zoos in

i've read many statements on this forum from people who have expressed the sentiment that you don't shove ttatt down the throat of an older person.

it would be too traumatic and its best to let some people, in some situations, simply pass on in the delusion.. its humane.

merciful.. in the initial roar of my awakening, i was unable to cuddle up to that sentiment; preferring, instead, to shove the blood curdling shock of truth down the throat of anyone i could get my grip on... age be dammed.

aintenoughwiskey

Good on you! How would a JW treat an inactive person in similar situation?
