  Yeah we have still in family that went the JW route, pioneering, bethel, etc. Guess what? They are all BROKE! Now as they are getting older they are looking to the ones who got some education/well paying jobs to help them out. Some are looking to any source they can to foot the bill. So in one breath they condemn you but in the next breath they need some help with your "dirty" college money. lol

  "Lets imitate faithful Lot of old...."

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i know we have all discussed at length the account / story of lot.... another thought occurred to me today...lets analyse his real personality,.

  in the very beginning of the account, lot is shown to be a selfish man...one that chose the better land and area..... then he was opportunistic and materialistic and kept living in a nice city, even though he was supposedly shocked by the immorality and lawlessness..... then we see him to be cowardly when he decided to send out his daughters to be pack raped.. later we learn he was heartless as he allowed his wife to turn around and look, and didnt protect her from doing so.. then we know he was lacking in self control and allowed himself to get drunk...twice.. then we know he was dismissive and unrestrained and a general sicko when he had sex with his daughters...twice in a row!.

  oh, but no...lets all praise him for being a righteous man.????!!!.

  So lot had sex with his own Daughters. Oopsy! Lot's wife turned around and BAMM she's a pillar of salt!

  Sound familiar?

  Molest little innocent children and you can be an Elder again. But look at porn and BAMM you're DF'd.

  Really screwed up logic!!!!

  Circuit Overseer's Cars - Anybody got the answers?

  atlantis provided a uk branch letter regarding a 3 levy per publisher to pay for the britain branch c.o.s 85 new cars.

  http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/126700001/2-new-boes-watchtower-begging-money-volunteers.

  with approximately 120,000 publishers in the uk, that will rake in 360,000. .

  Let them drive their cars until the wheels fall off, like most of us hardworking rank and file members have to do.

  JW's and the care of the elderly

  by Lynnie in

  i've been df'd for 35 years and my uber pioneer mother is getting on in years, 84 to be exact and starting to have signs of dementia and the social worker is worried that she can't be left alone at all anymore.

  she just had her second hip replaced and is in rehab.

  my uber elder cousin is the power of attorney since my mom was told i couldn't be trusted since i'm df'd.

  Lynnie you are in a great position to remind the congregation, your loving mother and cousin's that you are to be treated as if you were dead to them. This is how they have treated you for the past 35+ years. This is no longer your responsibility. They made their choice now they have to live with it.

  This sounds harsh but what goes around comes around. I would make sure they ALL know how you feel and that their behavior is DISGUSTING.

  I am sorry that your family has treated you unkind. No one deserves the shunning. The best revenge is a happy and successful life.

  Welcome Doctor Who. There seems to be ALOT of people waking up.

  Yes...they hypocrisy is off the chain. It's all about appearances. If you LOOK spiritual and know all the right people, all is ok. We had an Elder in our hall (when we were still drinking the Kool Aid) who looked spiritual but oops got caught with his pants down (literally). We knew something was up with him for years. He sat in judgement of everyone else while he was carrying on with women. He was on a judicial committee with some good friends of ours all while he was playing hide the salami. He was a total ass to our friends who were going through alot.

  Wait until you learn TTATT (The Truth About the Truth). We suggest you read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz and also visit JW Facts. You will learn so much. The hypocrisy goes so much further than what goes on a the Kingdom Hall. This is why we made our exit. Read the past threads on here, so many new ones are joining and the fortunate ones who got out years ago can really help you through what will be a incredible eye opening experience.

  Keep us posted on your journey.

  According to Oct.1st 2012 WT Directions- Past Child Molesters CAN Be Appointed Elders

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  considering the fact that the wt society refuses to release in courts any of it's written directions to elders through confidential letters to elder bodies- i thought i'd do the courts and wt society a "favor " by posting excerpts from this oct 1st.

  2012 letter from the wt society to all bodies of elders.

  these instructions are very exposing of the negligence of wt authorities in how they view the seriousness of felony child abuse.

  Great post.

  It's unbelievable that they would let these sick predators EVER to have contact with children or their families. We can only hope that the media and attorneys will continues to put this info out there to the public. I think it is starting to happen. It will snowball..I believe that.

  Stephen Lett said absolutely NOTHING about the countless lives that have been affected by the pedos or the harm to children and their families.

  I don't think the JW religion will go away but I do think it's growth is stagnant, the money is not coming in and the masses are feeling beat down and tired (no encouragement, no kudos, no love and kindness). Nothing positive is happening and it shows.

  We have heard so many active witnesses, that we still have contact with, tell us they are no longer donating. We have noticed that many of them will sit there and complain and bash the organization (Apostate style) and then say, "but it's still Jehovah's organization." Reminds us of the the Stepford wives! Crazy! Makes us want to scream...WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!

  Why are so many Elders and Elders deleted so angry at the Flock?

  by JWCartPusher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone else experienced the wrath of elders and ex-elders on innocent rank-and-file dubs?

  what are these power hungry men and their wives so mad about?

  where is the love we were promised when those witnesses spent hours indoctrinating us about the spiritual paradise of witnesses we would be joining?

  When your dynasty starts to fall apart, you start to loose power. Then you just become like everyone else. Not so special. They are legends in their own minds.

  been hearing this from various people from the cong that jw.org is a clear sign that god is directing the org.. i have various friends in the it dept not only in brooklyn but mexico and colombia, just a fact there is 5 to 6 it dept all over the world that give support to jworgie 24/7... so i have ask them how they came up with the website wich is not the best but not the worst by far.

  all four of them told me the same story, there is a brother in florida that is profesor of some kind computer class and as project he made them work on the website so students of these college helped launch this site.. so more like jah backing it has more like satan backing...
