Specific Comments By R&F About May Broadcast
by freemindfade ini know there are many posts discussing the may money requesting televangalism...er... broadcast i mean!
but i wanted to start one where anyone can put what they have heard any non-exjw, non-apostate witnesses say good or bad about the broadcast.
i don't see how it can't rattle followers... but then again i might be surprised how they can twist things (2+2=5).

Thanks for starting this thread.
I've posted two comments. I will repeat them here.
My very in aunt and uncle are disgusted and confused. He said, "their money problems are their problem" and " the economies been bad for a long time, we all have had to adjust, so it's time for them to adjust"
Some good friends said they are so discouraged. People have to work just to get by and not have any luxuries. The example of the man quitting his job, made them upset. Setting a horrible precedent, they themselves are in a horrible financial situation and are barely making it, missing many meetings and getting flake for it.

Mays JW TV Broadcast/Your feedback is appreciated
by ToesUp ini have a pretty good intuition but i have to admit i am going back and forth on the jw tv may broadcast.
i keep asking myself are they really in financial trouble (wishful thinking) or are they just grabbing for more money?.
i always appreciate reading everyone's thoughts and ideas on here.. let me know what you think.

Respectful observer
in General they feel they are off base,but this month, wanting more money for projects that aren't necessary since "Jehovah needs no one" and the example of the guy quitting to make meeting and not going to a different hall was how they say examples and rules get made. They never missed meetings before,now they do all the time, they are in severe financial strain...all of it makes them sick. They were beyond exasperated. What's sad is like so many, they played by the WTS rules and now they are suffering.
Maybe we need a new thread with still in people's reactions

Some still In friends, faithful and sadly asleep, said they are so discouragedby the broadcasts. People have to work and are struggling and these men are clueless. They are missing more meetings than ever to support their family because of their situation. I have never heard them so depressed and frustrated.
hopefully more people will see how out of touch and abusive this group is.

I have a relative who's elders told him he could count his drive from northern CA to southern Ca if he stopped and talked to gas station attendants when getting gas. An easy 9 hours one way. He was pioneering, working full time with a family. Yep...now he is a servant... -

@simonsays- in our university system you register online, show up twice a week for you 1.5 hour class and move to your next class .... If you're seeking sex, drugs,and craziness you will find it anywhere. But just out on display, people encouraging you to engage--- Yea right!! It's called campus police and expulsion....so quit with the JW myth culture of devaluing education because of these ridiculous claims.
A group of young ones was Df'd for drugs and alcohol, all while pioneering and flipping burgers. That stuff can happen anywhere, if you want it.
moving on.... I will discuss this all with my husband and give him the warning.it seems best to not even entertain it and if they push, say we will foot the family themselves.

Eek....conflicting ideas. Thanks for the advice I will talk it over with my husband. He says shouldn't they apply Matthew and make the parents come talk to us?
Toesup... Apparently from the brief phone call ...it seems our advice was opposite of the GB and we insinuated, maybe explicitly, the Gb doesn't know what they are talking about. I think we did actually say, the horror stories of college are what you will find in any group of kids 18-22 ... ha ha... And that the GB have no real life concerns that we all face. So mainly, it's because we are negative to the GB. My husband definitely won't apologize when it's nothing to do with scripture or the bible.
The idea of making this a huge deal in our family and a fade may work out well.

My husband is awake,yay! We haven't been to meeting since February, although we attended the memorial. When JWs have called us we say we are amazing, everything is awesome much to their shock. We have family in our hall...and have to navigate our fade with them in mind. Otherwise we would totally drop the facade today.
my husbands on and off elder friend said he wanted to talk to us with another brother. He briefly told my husband on the phone a couple parents complained... Basically alluding we are TALKING AGAINST the GB from the Feb broadcast against college...
A couple months back we went to a gathering, a group of teens/young adults asked us about college. My husband and I have many years in school-advanced degrees. We haven't been stellar jws, but we tried and we're sincere despite the doubts, this was in the past. Anyway.... We said we didn't encounter drugs, sex, or alcohol in school. We found it to be a lot of people of varying backgrounds working hard not for fame or wealth, but a decent job and future prospects. We had a lot of good friends, non witnesses we learned from. Also, we mentioned most going to school are not selfish and thinking (and realize school doesn't equal wealth)they will be rich, it's just a necessary piece of paper to move ahead in life easier than those without. We said it's a few years of your life and a few more working hard to move up. But when you start a family you can be more stable with a job and having a family and cost of living won't suck you dry. We told them if they felt pioneering was in their heart, than do it. But they all said college and a job was their goal and we said, well, it's do able while being a jw. Of course the kids mentioned the broadcast and we said we heard it. My husband said, " you are responsible for you, they won't pay your bills. How can you discredit college and it's beneifts when you haven't gone nor work for a living?"
We thought we were balanced and didn't blast the faith.... Apparently, some parents felt we were talking against the slaves broadcast since school is bad...and we are leading them away from the ministry. This is only per a short, almost heads up phone call from the elder "friend"
I read here and know,don't meet up! But my husband, not a born in,having zero experience with social Jw things, never being in a elders meeting or anything....he is like... What's the big deal. It's all BS...I will tell them exactly what we said.... Hello! It's a bad idea right. What do we do? We have to go to meetings in the future because of family. Or is this no big deal?
we aren't involved with any social circles and pretty much are separate from all jws...so this is kind of shocking. What we felt was a normal conversation ... Although we know it's not the jw stand to be pro-college publicly

Acts 1:6,7- read this.... Basically says it's none of our business to know when the end comes. Men need not concern themselves. We need to be aligned with Gods word from the bible, not men bolstering up fear within us. We can't go around God and still assume date calculations, Jesus told us, we were not to know Gods timetable!
