  This choir thing has really bothered us. Also, the singing and dancing at the Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls during the District Convention (or whatever you call in now).  We couldn't even play a "worldly song" at our wedding 32+ years ago?

  Like others have said...."what happened to the religion we were born into"?  One day it's a sin, the next day not so much. What else are the JW's being misdirected in? Maybe...not going to college, buying a house, having a child, getting a job to support your family or getting married (I could go on and on).

  Thanks for listening to my daily rant.

  Why are JW talks & publications never uplifting?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  i was sitting at the meeting the other night and for the first time it hit, jw talks or magazines are never uplifting!

  i rarely, if ever hear a talk or read a magazines and have it give nothing but praise to jehovahs servants or just praise jehovah and jesus throughout it.

  they never just a read through the bible or just a bible story explained or told.

  They had a perfect opportunity to up build during the Zone (zoned out) meeting. They had over 1 million people listening and the final talk was on tight pants, 23 yr. old MS's, and Spanx? With all the problems everyone is facing, this is what they choose to discuss? 

  If you go into a sales pitch and conclude on a negative note, you won't sell much! I wonder if their donation boxes suffered that weekend. Seemed like alot of people were disturbed over that talk.

  The one thing that keeps us going is that they will NEVER receive any more of our donations, time or energy. Now we can spend it on having a GREAT life!

  My sister was invited to a Judicial Committee

  by opusdei1972 in

  today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.

  she told them that she will confirm if she will go.

  however, i have told her that she shouldn't go, instead she should ask them to write a formal letter, with signatures, asking her for which charges she should be submitted in a private room with two men (or three?

  I'd tell em...."I'll be there but make sure there is an extra chair for my legal representation. I have a 2 witness rule too."  I agree....Lawyer up (they do!).

  Bet you $50 bucks they don't bother her again.

  Hi John and welcome!

  If I could write a post, it would be a duplicate of Wing Commanders post. I would have had a "field day" with those photos. This organization is so full of BS and hypocrites.

  We have been out for 2+ years. Wow...what a relief! Play your cards right and keep your mouth closed as much as possible. You may loose alot of friends and family (that is the negative part) but the freedom is incredible. You will feel more freedom than the usual rank and file member due to the organization "using you" so much. 

  We hope to hear more from you soon.

  contemptus saeculi

  by C.O.B.E.Beef in

  several months ago we had the visit of our c.o.

  and his thursday night talked included rants covering several topics, with an especially long winded diatribe against "higher education".

  he is pretty good speaker , and his choice of illustrations seemed to win an emotional response from the audience that ive never seen with regard to that subject.. he began the discussion with how concerned the governing body was with the decision some parents have made to send their kids to college.

  I wonder if they would give us the stats on the young ones who went to Bethel  (The House of God) and are "spiritually intact".  It seems like going to Bethel is more like boarding the Titanic than going to College. It seems like ALOT of our young ones either leave or come home emotionally scarred after a short time at Bethel.

  I love all these "Brothers" who give these talks and say it's the families and parents decision to send their kid to college and then they compare it to boarding the Titanic.

  Make it a DF'ing offense or remove the Elders if they put their kid in college, see what happens then.  

  Worlds BIGGEST hypocrites. So glad we are free!!!!

  Q-tips and Coffee Filters helped me learn TTATT

  by RedPillPopper in

  well they didn't fully teach me ttatt but helped me on the way.............. first thing i do in the morning after waking up is grinding some nice coffee beans and getting the brew started while i take a hot shower.

  after the shower i like to clean out all the nasty wax out of my ears with a q-tip (or cotton swab for those not familiar with that term).. while cleaning out my ears i would think about how nice it is we have things like q-tips and coffee filters that make life more enjoyable but at the same time realize that somebody somewhere is in a factory making these.. i can't imagine a child saying "when i grow up i want to work in a factory making coffee filters".

  the people who end up really doing that as adults did not set that to be a life goal.

  "Dead Body Burial Duty?" lol

  You couldn't get anybody to help clean the Bathrooms at the Kingdom Hall, much less clean up dead bodies.
  

  Most of the Sisters wouldn't touch a toilet brush if their life depended on it and the important Elders had much more pressing issues to deal with.
