  jw.org cart days numbered?

  by jookbeard in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  reading a report of an elder in a friends cong has been hiding and spying on the pioneers who seem to have a practise of dumping the cart and finding a local coffee shop, i've noticed that they do this in my local high street as well but this week they seemed to be all huddled around the cart, they've clearly been warned, a vast percentage of the time i see they seem to be more interested in fiddling with their mobile phones and gossiping, is just seems these carts are a means for the pioneers to turn in "easy time" i wonder what sort of figures show how much literature is being taken by the public?

  i bet its very minimal.

  naturally the gb would say they are a phenomenal success , we clearly know they are not.

  "If you look at the topics from 12 years ago till now its always about... the WT is in decline,... the WT will collapse,.. the WT is desperate,.. the Internet will kill the WT,... the WT has cash flow problems. Still 12 years later the WT is still here,.. is still growing,.. is still alive and kicking,.. is still spending hundreds of millions a year on all kind of projects and stuff,.. is just doing fine and to me it seems they will continue to do so."

  You left out one...they will continue to ABUSE! Most, if not all, on this site have suffered ABUSE! Some of us have been ABUSED our entire lives. ABUSE takes a toll.

  Have you ever noticed some of the coolers some of these people bring to the assemblies? Looks like they packed a Thanksgiving dinner! Oh that's right we don't celebrate Thanksgiving with Turkey, etc. Yeah right! wink wink

  Calebs Mom needs to get back home to scrub the floors (on her hands and Knees).

  Dad needs to head to the Gym to work out those sexy muscles of his!

  You can tell this is Anthony Morris's pet project.

  Accept Jehovah's Discipline

  by EndofMysteries in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so many times the wt uses a phrase close to that, when they really mean accept the gb's discipline.

  with all of these sex abuse cases and other skeletons in the gb closet coming to light, just like king david, perhaps somebody should tell the gb to take their own advice and accept jehovah's discipline as all of their dirty laundry will continue to get exposed and they need to humble themselves.

  So many catch phrases:

  "wait on Jehovah"

  "leave it in Jehovah's hands". This means, we really can't help you or we don't want to help you. So sorry!

  "this organization is made up of imperfect men." I love this one. Too bad it is not considered when they are hanging YOUR a** out to dry in a JC.

  "it's still Jehovah's organization." This is typically said after the person finishes bashing Jehovah's imperfect organization. It's like a button most of them HAVE to push to reset themselves. The Stepford wives.

  "where else would we go if we left Jehovah's organization?" This on is just sad! This means we have no friends anywhere else and would just be lost without the constant daily guidance from the org on what the heck to do with our time.

  What a crazy bunch of hypocrites!

  a situation I know of and the mind set of the elders.

  by joe134cd in

  2. experiences

  ok here's the situation i know of.. a women was in a situation where she was forced to reveal a hidden sin and was given a private reproof for it.

  before this she had an other wise clean slate.

  btw the reproof was for an unrelated matter and had nothing to do with apostasy.

  I agree enjoy your freedom.

  We are much happier now that we are out. We take long walks, enjoy our weekends, watch movies and spend our money on other things besides meeting clothes (ugh!) and donations. Best of all....no damn assemblies and conditional friends! Hated those!

  DesirousofChange is dead on. They could care less. This organization keeps them on the hamster wheel and they just can't be bothered with you. We experienced that too.

  I know it is perplexing...on the one hand you are glad they have left you alone but then it is so disturbing that they will let one go so easy. So much for leaving the 99 sheep to retrieve the 1 lost one. Hypocrites!!!

  Effect of reading here.

  by New day in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  saomebody mentioned in a recent thread here i think that the more they read here the more they feel angry at the wt.

  personally, as an ex-elder (only resigned a few months ago) i feel that it is more like suddenly being on the outside looking in at a whole group of people playing parts.

  the zealous pioneers answering all the time.

  Yeah...it's like the Wizard of Oz. The Great and Powerful Oz is sooo scary and a bully but when you pull the curtain back he is a little insecure old man. Not so powerful after all.

  Most of the bullies in the hall live double lives. Biggest bunch of hypocrites we have EVER met.

  i recently ran into a jw i knew from a few years back.you know how it goes, a few pleasantries that always seem much more awkward than they really should (not for me, mind you--for him).and then the question, "so what congregation are you attending?

  are you able to make the meetings?

  "i'm thinking: do you always start conversations this way?so anyways, knowing full well the jw-mindset, i decided to have a bit of fun.furrowing my brow, i said, "that's an odd question!

  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.

  They don't want to open pandora's box. It would be more costly for them. They know this. So much for us following Caesar's laws. How different is it for them to refuse to testify and violate a subpoena. Hypocrites!!!
