I agree with you it is nice to see others take care of their family members and show courtesy. I have two VERY good non JW friends. One takes care of her elderly mother and her husbands elderly parents. They also have purchased them VERY nice homes they live in (they are well off). The other (also a non JW) friend has moved to this state but calls her elderly father everyday and flies every few weeks to visit him.

We have family members. One is a CO, it is well known within the family that this CO and his wife do not look after their elderly parent, the congregation does. We have countless examples of JW's that are not looking after their aging parents. It infuriates me!

I guess the point I am trying to make is there are good non JW people that are doing good things and JW's that are not practicing what they preach. The opposite can also be stated. There is good and bad in everything and everywhere. The thing that bothers me is the JW's condemn everyone. The good and the bad. I disagree with them 100% . I have witnessed the opposite.

I love the part where the 2 young brothers are looking at the others phone and laughing.

I can just see/hear it now..."Oh...they must not be good marriage mates, they are not listening to the boring meeting." Oh yeah...we shouldn't judge but then the next thing you know they are judging.

I married a man who I guess would not be considered a "spiritual man." Let's see, he's a great father, a great provider, a caring person, he NEVER forgets his family and he's my best friend. We've been together for 30+ years. He just doesn't perform the tasks the JW's require, which does not make him a "spiritual man." I know many a JW husband that perform the tasks (aka spiritual man), that suck as a father, a provider and treat their wife like crap. Go figure!

You just can't make this sh*t up.

I hope the guy is a MS. According to Tony Morris' zone talk, he is not worth a damn if he's not one by the age of 23.

hi everyone, i have been lurking for some time now and decided to open the box (hence pandora).

about a year ago i became aware of child abuse within the org, out of curiosity (just like pandora) i opened the box and the evils have been pouring out ever since regarding the org.

anyway, this came to a head last summer with the arc.

Welcome. There is never a boring story . We love to hear everyone's experiences!

I just watched the bread illustration. One question...the mud illustration. How come when we get mud on us, do our friends and family throw us in the trash? If Jehovah doesn't throw us in the trash when we sin, how come his "loving organization" does?

That has to be one of the dumbest illustrations I have ever seen.

I think the natives are getting restless in this cult and WT is worried. Are their #'s dwindling?

this article is sad.

but what amazes me is her jw family is accepting donations or has to resort to the very worldly people they look forward to being destroyed.

ToesUp

This is the girl from the February Broadcast?

Holy crap! Have you seen how much WT is making off of the sale of their properties? They can't afford to send this little girl home? They could care less about anyone but themselves. Just give em a track, Watchtower/Awake or a book to read? That's going to fix what this little girl and her family are facing TODAY?

26 years WT free!

by Wonderment in

this month makes 26 years since i disassociated from the wt org.

i have not visited a kh or assembly hall once since.

that includes no memorial attendance.

"I was not disfellowshiped. I just quit the Borg. Even so, my large family disowns me."

Like people have said on here before, there is NO easy way to leave this cult disguised as a religion. Shunning, even by the professionals is on of the worst forms of bullying. How can that EVER be loving?

Do U Detest JWs.

Boy...that's a loaded question.

Some I do detest, some are really great people. Deluded (like we used to be) but still nice, well meaning people, that have not looked behind the curtain yet. Looking behind the curtain changes EVERYTHING!

That is very sad. This poor family is dealing with so much.

Why can't the JW organization help them? The organization only helps itself. The donations only go one way...in their pocket. They are shameless and selfish. They are building a new up state NY retirement resort, they need the funds for that. Remember what our golden boy Lett stated in his JW broadcast, "we have more money going out , than we have coming in." Who did not count the cost?
