the message has changed dramatically from the good news of the kingdom and imitation of jesus to the following:.
1. keep your eye simple and try to find a low paying part time job so you can pioneer.
such jobs might be janitorial or house cleaning, yard care, etc.

Unfortunately , I was born a Sucker too. Our entire family. It took me almost 50 years to figure it out. I regret ever being born in this. It pisses me off every single day but my family and I will move forward with more determination than ever.

i've noted active, devoted jw's state the above.. and, it's not a problem for me to remain trusting of god, i just don't trust religions or men.. recently, a member of this forum stated that he remains an active jw, in the family of god's people, wanting to encourage and do good - whilst recognising that the pastoral leaders (the gb) have shipwrecked the faith of many, being unsound scripturally etc, etc.. stop and think about this - the bible says to not follow after those who lie and hurt the faith of "little ones".. the pharisees were accused of traversing over lands and expending much energy to make a single convert - only for that convert to end up worse of than he started off with.. it's one thing to not believe this is the 'truth' and feeling the awful pressure of managing ones life, trying not to lose ones family.. it's quite another thing to declare oneself to be a christian believer of god's jw household, and somehow believe the god of love would use corrupt liars to parade as jesus' brothers in the urgency of last days.
really?
and, to then visibly promote faith in corrupt men, and try to bring converts into a place where the rulership is wrong.. some of us are dying from hurt here.......give me a break..

I think you should write a letter or better yet give the Branch a call and let the GB know how you truly feel. Like you have on here. Give them your true name and congregation you are associated with.
Let us know how that works out for ya.
couple of weeks ago an elder took a young man aside and crawled all over him after the tms for wearing a "skinny" tie.
it was one of those 2 inch wide ties.
nothing bright or scandalous about.

"the tms elder told her she could not do her part because her skirt was too short."
Ask the Elder how he noticed your skirt is to short (see if you can ask with his wife standing there). Notice much Brother horny? Assh****.
for those of you who have already faded due to family still being in, have you noticed how the noose is tightening?.
if it's not memorial, it's special day assembly.
if it's not that, it's convention or the special talk.
DO NOT GIVE THEM CONTROL! IF YOU GIVE IT TO THEM THE WILL TAKE IT!
We have had this happen to us. Use the not feeling well/work schedule excuse as much as you can. If they start digging further, tell them you have some personal issues but give them NO details.
The miranda rights state, "anything you say can and will be used against you." It goes for the JW police as well. As soon as you start talking they WILL hang you. Guarantee it. Also, if you give them NOTHING it will drive them insane. We all know JW's are the nosiest people on the planet and thrive on rummaging around in your underwear drawer and going through your movie collection.
The miranda rights also state that you have the right to remain silent. Do just that!
We are having a great time watching these fascinating people try to figure out what is going on with us. It's a mystery!
If they become too intrusive tell them to mind there own business and get off your back. I'll repeat...IF YOU GIVE THEM POWER OVER YOU, THEY WILL TAKE IT.
Relax and enjoy the ride.
i was talking to my brother this morning.
last night at his meeting, they read a letter from their co. he talked about the earthquake.
he said that if some were moved to maybe take some vacation time, and go do volunteer work in napal.
Gee...imagine that, they are asking for money!
"And the GB knows where such money should be used!" I BET THEY DO!!

my father passed away this week.
we are going to have a funeral for him.
he was not a witness for many years but a lot of his family is still associated.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Don't cause a thing. Now is not the time to do that. Just say thank you and try and reflect on the positive memories and people in your life. You will never change a uber JW. They are taught not to think, just conform.
