Does anyone know if this guy has had a trial yet?
i know your going to be thinking what???.
but it's true, when i was a young boy i had to go to the 5 weekly meetings.
also with my mum we would be at the doors and actually have debates.
There is NO more substance to Watchtower. It's just a money grubbing cult. They do the thinking for the next generation on JW's and the old one's seem to be just too tired.
ha, another visit from the jws.... thankfully they are few and far between (seem to roll around whenever the co visits or is about to visit...)an elder and his wife, presenting the magazines and inviting us to the talks, which are "so encouraging".
he had the saddest, most hang-dog expression, as he bemoaned these last days, so critical to deal with, and how the world was getting so terrible, things are so bad, blah blah blah, and every time i looked at her, she smiled encouragingly at me with that bright-eyed, put-on "sincere" smile.
i thanked them for coming, and said, "i appreciate you thinking about us" (after they said how the "missed us" at the meetings, ugh) -- "but we know where the kingdom hall is if we decide to go back.
Great job! We keep telling family members that we are happier not attending then when we attended. They have that look like a deer in headlights. lol They just don't get it. I would like to add (but I don't actually say it), "don't knock it til you try it."
It's funny how they tell you, "everyone misses you." I feel like screaming when they say this. Everyone has my number, if they miss us so much how come we NEVER hear from them? Just empty words from a drowning/desperate cult!
i was raised a jw and left the organization when i was 18 years old.
many thought i left because i wanted to live a life full of drugs, sex, and rock and roll, which was not true at all.
i left because i realized that these people had no idea what they were talking about and were simply parroting what the, " society " , told them to believe.
Fantastic post! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I could not agree with you more. Glad you are living your life on YOUR terms.
since me and my siblings had to go to service every saturday, and i mean every saturday, i missed out on something so normal as watching good ole saturday morning cartoons from the 70's and 80's.
i remember wishing i could stay home just one saturday so i could watch cartoons.
but noooo we had to go save lives!
Just having normal relationships, like everybody else. I was only allowed VERY limited contact with "worldly" friends. Funny thing....those "worldly friends" treated me better than the kids in the congregation. What horrific teenage years I experienced in Jehovah's "loving organization." Those relationships have affected me to this day.
.....the truth was not the truth... ?
.
Total lack of love. Judgemental, back stabbing JW's!
Then we learned TTATT. Beth Sarim, the UN scandal, the denial of the 1975 Watchtower involvement.
Once you learn TTATT, you can NEVER GO BACK!!!
nicolas king frequently sings with the watchtower chorus and had a supporting role in the dvd released at the 2014 convention.
(he's on the bottom row, second from the right.).
but he also is a jazz singer, traveling constantly performing at concerts, casinos, charity events, even a brief appearance on the tonight show.
I'm sure Nick is a "nice guy."
We know lots of "nice guys". They now shun my spouse, children and I for becoming inactive. Yeah...."nice guys."
just talking to someone recently about former co's in our area.
it went as follows,,,,george cook,saw that he was now in princes congregation or should say the former prince.. brother gwaltney,,nw usa area now drives a school bus his wife sold cosmetics at a nordstrom.
brother spangenberg had to leave co work as his wife was sick ,,went to low paying menial job.. brother ---- cant remember his name but he is now working a a waiter in a italian restaurant,,singing as requested by customers.
We know of a retired CO that Watchtower provides a home to him and his wife. Travels around like a gypsy and sponges off of anyone he can.
