21Mother's day according to Joseph Rutherford
by opusdei1972 inthis is what the second president of the watchtower society, the channel of god appointed in 1919, wrote about the mother's day:.
satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from god, and cause them to disregard the word of the lord.
this he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in england and in america, the chief countries of christendom, is called "mother's day".

I listened. I obeyed. Then I realized...
by stillin inwhat was that blessing part about?
i kept hearing pioneers talking about the blessings that they were receiving and as i looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them.
maybe they are just more appreciative of things than other people.

"As I looked at their lives objectively, there really isn't anything special about them."
You are correct, there is NOTHING special about them. They think they are Jehovahs "special possessions."
We have need greater/pioneer family members and WOW do they think they are wonderful. So much better than you and not afraid to tell you. They really don't see how pathetic they look to some of the family. Legends in their own minds.
They sure know how to sniff the ones who have money! They only come around when they need something.

Why doe New light tick me off???? Next 2 weeks WT Studies
by zophar inif you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.
remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?
anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.

If it's sanctioned by the "Big Daddy's in NY" it's okay.
Who would ever think we'd have symbols and dancing at the Kingdom Hall!

Did You Feel Bad For the JW Dishwasher-Cook Who Quit His Job (May JW Broadcasting)To Avoid Attending Later Meetings? He Pioneered on Welfare or Unemployment!
by RoyalFlushPhil indid you watch the story about the jw who was working as a burger boy at some diner and his boss wanted him to work on sunday during the time of his meeting?
this faithful jw decided he could not attend a later meeting (6 pm sunday meeting) and soon quit his job(or got fired to attend his sunday meeting) so he could attend the sunday meeting he was assigned to.
i think he was on welfare because this story states he won't work on sunday morning because that's when his meeting is!

We had a Brother in our hall who lost his job and took the advise given at the Circuit Assembly. "If you loose your job, pioneer. Brothers who Pioneer are blessed, in due time, with a job offer." This is how it was spun at the Circuit Assembly.
This Brother did just that, Pioneered. Well...a few years later his pissed off wife went to the Elders and complained that he was not providing for her financially. The Elders met with the Brother and read him the ole standby scriptures about providing for his family (you know the drill). He ended up getting a job.
Moral to the story....in this religion....your damned if you do and damned if you don't. Crazy!!!

German Branch visit talk Mark Sanderson (Parents; don't hinder young children to get baptized)
by Daniel1555 inthe video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).
he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.
parents and children.

Well, I guess you have to get your future JW's somewhere. They aren't converting new ones.
You can't drive a car or drink a beer when you are 9-11 but you can dedicate your life to Jehovah.

Attention Lurkers- what the org is really doing
by stuckinamovement inthe message has changed dramatically from the good news of the kingdom and imitation of jesus to the following:.
1. keep your eye simple and try to find a low paying part time job so you can pioneer.
such jobs might be janitorial or house cleaning, yard care, etc.

Unfortunately , I was born a Sucker too. Our entire family. It took me almost 50 years to figure it out. I regret ever being born in this. It pisses me off every single day but my family and I will move forward with more determination than ever.

There is a Sucker Born every minute. The organization is taking advantage of every Sucker they can get their hands on. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! -

"The organisation is imperfect, but it doesn't affect my relationship with Jehovah"
by Alive! ini've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.
really?
and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..

Brother Jeramy
I think you should write a letter or better yet give the Branch a call and let the GB know how you truly feel. Like you have on here. Give them your true name and congregation you are associated with.
Let us know how that works out for ya.
