Phone call with a disfellowshipped relative

by Jules Saturn in

so i call my grandfather who has been inactive for several decades and he's at vacation in puerto rico.

the conversation is normal, we talk about how he's doing down there and how i am doing.

then he tells me that my cousin who i haven't seen in 5 years, is with him and asks if i would like to speak to him; i said yes.

Great news Jules! DF'ing is a vile practice.

What I Noticed At An Event During This Week. . . . . .

by HiddlesWife in

i attended an event this week with my usual closest relatives, which was inside a community center-ish venue with a backyard area.

it was given by my cousin's best friend.

she invited around 50 people of all age groups and racially-mixed.

Before we made our exit, a Sister (Elders wife) told me a couple of JW acquaintances had belly button rings. I told her that the org doesn't support that. She looked at me like I just landed from Mars. I truly believe these people don't know what WT promotes. I think during meetings and assemblies they are thinking about who is going and where they are going for dinner and their next vacation. Like I said before, this is an al a carte cult. Pick and choose what you want to follow.

Theocratic warfare. Great video

by stuckinarut2 in

we all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".

here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

by UnshackleTheChains in

WT HAS to address these issues, they are loosing members in droves. Too little too late WT! How is this going to help the victims that are now adults? Typical JW....your kids need to watch how they dress? Really? A 5-8 year old needs to be careful how they dress? That's as bad as the one, if you don't scream, it's really not rape. This is one f'd up organization. No apology from WT....never. Remember.....1975 was all the rank and files fault too, even though there are recorded talks and printed literature that stated WT promoted theses thoughts! True 100 percent NARCISSISTIC BEHAVIOR! A narcissist will NEVER admit fault, it's ALWAYS the other person!

Is WT letting the congregation know there is a pedophile in their midst? It is one thing to warn parents to watch over their children but if the parents don't know than it can be difficult. I left my children with families for short periods of time, when we were still in. If I'm not warned there is someone in the congregation that has been suspect, it's difficult to watch out for.

What a fitting name for this liar...Toole.

My spouse and I were two of the "weak" ones in the congregation. Low hours, missed meetings, husband never reached out and neither of us ever pioneered. A couple of loosers. We even knew what theocratic warfare was. Lol

Question for those who went to the RC

by joe134cd in

i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

WT beliefs/doctrines....here today, gone tomorrow!

Just a few short years ago the branch/society (whatever they call it today) would have cited the scripture, 1 Corinthians 14:40...but let all things take place decently and by arrangement." This swaying and clapping would have never been accepted back in our day. New light. So if my child needs a life saving blood transfusion and today it's not ok and dies but tomorrow it's new light and it's a "conscience matter", how is that going to bring my kid back? This is where I have a problem with WT ever changing doctrines and their non chalant attitude towards the outcome.
