  Vote with your wallet!

  My thoughts...wouldn't the money be better spent helping out an individual/family that may be in need (food, clothing and shelter). That will never happen in JW world.

  My first post

  hi, i just joined the board and wanted to present myself.. i'm active, in fact very active in congregation activities serving "where the need is great" in a foreign language congregation somewhere in western europe.

  as a young brother, i'm seen as an example as i'm doing all a good witness should do.. i had doubts years ago but i decided just to ignore them and move to another congregation to preach more.

  that worked for some years but i'm now at the exact same point.

  Welcome. You are among people here that know exactly what you are going through.

  The lack of love is what started our family from doubting also. Keep posting, it helps to know you are not the only one. You are not alone.

  WOW, I just found a great reason for a man to have long hair, from the Watchtower Org!

  by Greybeard in

  "the bobbed hair craze is sure to lead to baldness, sooner or later.

  the reason for this is that human hair is like a tube sealed at the free end.

  when the hair is cut, the oils which are the life of the hair become dissipated.

  I think that was a GREAT way to show them . Maybe they will all learn something valuable (TTATT).

  The internet is doing a number on this cult.

  I like Sir82's comment...maybe the brother wants others to know what he knows. Good ole TTATT!

  Saddest thing about being DFd

  by kairos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i always enjoyed being kind.

  when someone genuinely needed a hand or what not, it felt good to help family or friends.. i don't really miss them anymore.

  i faded over two years ago, so they long ago shunned me.i think about them less and less and have even forgotten some names.i did enjoy some of the friendships and the association.

  It's truly amazing how quickly these ones will turn on you. It's an eye opener for sure.

  We have been shown kindness from neighbors, non JW friends and business aquaintances. We will give these people kindness in return. They are the ones who are doing the acts of kindness unconditionally.

  If you don't want to be in the good ole boys club anymore, you're gonna have to pay. What ever happened to winning a mate (this could apply to anyone) over without a word. In other words, be loving (take the high road). Be kind, it may bring this "weak one" back to Jah. Bottom line...this is a cruel cult with zero holy spirit.

  Gas prices today & the book study

  by LevelThePlayingField in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all remember, one of the main reasons for removing the bookstudy was the high gas prices, well, have you looked at the gas prices today?

  nationwide, the lowest is about $1.65, the highest is about $2.67.

  isn't that right about the same gas prices as when they cancelled the bookstudy in the first place?

  The letter as stated that they did not want to cause further burden to the brothers and sisters.

  BURDEN? I remember my jaw dropping on that one. We were always taught that the Book study was one of the most important meetings and now it's a Burden? WT are great spin doctors!
