"My mom has surgery scheduled in October they told her not to go, because she may miss a chance to live in paradise, while she is recovering in hospital."

You just can't make this stuff up! Bat***t crazy!

Been encouraging my husband to contact his DF'd brother

by atacrossroads in

my husband has a brother he has not spoken too in years not even when he became an adult.

there is a big age gap between them and when his brother was df'd he was still a small child.

his brother was 17 when he was df'd for sex and when he turned 18 he left home and never looked back.

Maybe the DF'd Brother is happy and content with his life. I can relate to this. When my family gets involved in my life it causes nothing but stress and it is just not worth the trouble. Maybe the DF'd Brother is happy and wants to move on with his life.

life is to short

I believe everything you are saying! The "organization" is all take, no give. They will use you up and spit you out. I will NEVER give a second of my time or a cent of my money to this life sucking cult.

Enjoy your freedom!

Blindingly Obvious - But Not to J.W.'s

by The Searcher in

if a fellow j.w.

asked a publisher/pioneer/missionary j.w., "how are your hours this month", they will gladly reveal how many hours they've racked up "for jehovah.".

now ask them, "how much money have you contributed to kingdom interests this month", they'd look at you as if you were beelzebub himself, and tell you that that was "personal.

Good point Searcher. Great post.

Wow...can't ya just feel the love?

I know she wants to make a point and good for her but why would you want to return somewhere where you are not wanted?

That's why we as a family didn't return to the JW cult. We have better things to do like, enjoying family, long walks, watching a beautiful sunset and sleeping in on Saturday and Sunday. What could be better than that?

Don't just sell your home. Give the proceeds to WT and serve Jehovah (aka the Watchtower) full time. We would LOVE to "use" you!!!

All take and NO give. Typical Watchtower!

Where have all the spiritual men gone?

by ToesUp in

this photo was on jw-archive.. sisters are now passing microphones due to a lack of qualified brothers.

this was in a english speaking group in slovenia .

i feel sorry for the guy in the blue shirt!

Incognito - I agree. Yes, in our area in the 80's and 90's. A unbaptized teen could handle a mic with low hours. Only wearing a shirt and tie, no jacket was required. Then things changed! You now have to meet or exceed the national avg. or in our hall over 10 hours a month. Be part of the school, answer at every meeting and be an example to the other males, "reaching out" for additional duties. It became a joke and only 3 - 5 brothers in the entire hall would "qualify" to handle a mic. It was true more of the sisters met the qualifications then the brothers.

Did anyone see Jackson state "celebrating Christmas not a df'ing offence"?

by Crazyguy in

i have seen posts on several you tube sites stating that jackson said during his rc testimony that jw's don't shun, celebrating christmas is not a disfellowshipping offence, birthdays are ok and ones doesn't have to agree with jw doctrine.

i have read most of the posts on other threads while and after his testimony but never read any of this?

did he really say these things or is someone on the net just stirring up some bs?.

ToesUp

I agree with William Penwell. These guys are slick with their answers. I am sure he had a flock of WT Attorney's coaching him. Slick liars!

I did like DOC's idea about sending a Christmas card! ha ha
