  JW TV is the reason for the hysteria in the KH

  by campaign of hate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  if you, like me, have noticed the sudden increase in hysteria in the khs right now, i put it down to that jw tv site.

  its's far more extensive than i thought it was, i thought it was just 1, 1 hour program a month.

  there's a s*** load of videos on that site.. and the real problem, from just watching a clip from each video, is that these guys are clearly "mentally unstable".

  It's all New to them! Like a new toy. Jehovah is really speeding up the work! How many times do we hear this?

  It will loose it's newness soon. Just like the new Bible (Silver Sword) and the International Conventions...they will get over it.

  I think they are trying to strain out the Fence Sitters and Faders. They are in the midst of building their new Headquarters and I hope they realize that with the Fence sitters and Faders goes the $$$$$$.

  Once the new Headquarters is complete they will Hunker Down and have that facility so secure Jesus couldn't get in.

  over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.

  they broke more commandments that most.

  TONS of them!!! As long as they kept up appearances, all was fine. If it was a blatant offence (the whole congregation knew) then they would DF or Public/private reproof. If they are in the in crowd or buddies with the right elders/CO's, they'd be back in toot sweet.

  "Membership has its privileges".  

  So glad we are out of this loving organization! LOL

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.
