So much talk about loyalty to Jehovah (aka...the organization). So much talk about giving of your first fruits (aka money) to Jehovah (aka the organization).
So WT....worried much? So glad to see the cult sweat!

49New Monthly Broadcast - BE LOYAL! - Shut Up and Sit Down!
by ttdtt inthe new broadcast is - predictably - about being loyal to the gb.it's a shut up and sit down message.. one of the funny things they keep bringing up is the correlation between the gb and moses.those who don't listen to the gb are like korah.. this is a false choice, why?let's look at a quick comparison.
(this is from the point of view of the bible).
was moses directly picked by god?- yeswas the gb directly picked by god?- well no, we actually are not told how the gb are picked and why the qualify.. did god talk to moses?- yesdoes god talk to the gb- no, they admit they are not in direct communication.. did god inspire moses to write laws and judge.- yesdoes god inspire the gb to write laws and judge.- no, they admit they are not inspired, and they are always wrong and need to change things all the time.. did god give the israelites undisputable proof that moses is his channel?- yes, many miracles visible to everyone one around happenddoes god give jws undisputable proof that the gb are his channel?- no, there is no proof, actually contrary.. was moses ever wrong?- nohas the gb ever been wrong?- every time.

No matter what WT does...they do not report to the authorities and they do not let the Rank and File know that there is a child molester in their midst. Bottom line, they are protecting the child molester instead of the congregation and most importantly the children . It is all about protecting WT ("bringing reproach upon Jehovahs name"). Sick!

She's beautiful but she suffers from "negative feelings." She has flaws and no prospective JW wife should have flaws (so they say). lol
The reality is she is probably on anti depressants and feels much better, giving all praise to Jah.

Deleted Elders?
by Farkel ini knew about elders being "deleted" and have commented what a strange and pejorative term that is, but it wasn't until "wtwizard" and "designs" commented on another thread about it that it actually hit home for me.. one cannot step down as an elder with any dignity!
elder's can't quit, with the word "quit" being as in "he quit his job.
" elder's can't resign as in "he resigned as chairman of the board for xyz corp.".

Great job PE. Well written. You are correct, it isn't very pleasant when the shoe is on the other foot. It's sad how WT has broken up so many families and continues doing so. As painful as that letter must have been for you to write, it had to be done.

Single Sisters Over A Certain Age Group Getting A Bad Rap
by HiddlesWife ini'm new here; one of my relatives was a member on this forum a few years ago and told me about it.
anyways, as a sister who has been in the org since childhood and now in her late 40's (plus as a woman of color), i have noticed that a number of brothers have an ageist attitude.
they are very accepting of young women under 26 and rejecting women over that age, particularly those in their 30's and over.. is this an unspoken mindset from wthq (specifically from bethel), or is it that quite a number of males (sorry, i'm not sexist here) have this type of mentality?

In the world (since we are evil "worldly people now), we are noticing people seem to be waiting to get married. The younger ones seem to want to get educated, travel and generally enjoy their lives before, if ever, they get married.
You mentioned that the JW men seem to want the pretty faces and thin waists. This will not get the typical man very far. We all get older and as Bette Davis said, "getting old is not for sissies." Our faces and waists do not typically stay the same as when we were 18. The JW's are all about appearances. The men want the Elder title and the typical Elders wife (not all) likes the title just as much (if not more) than the Elder. Yes, they love the thin pretty wife but if that is all their is to the marriage....good luck to them both. There are a lot of good men out there and they are not all JW's. I have met some of the kindest, nicest men in the world. You just may have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince.
This cult is male driven (I am a female). No where else in my life was I EVER treated as an "inferior." I was told when I was still active that I was not submissive to my husband. What they didn't know is that my husband does not lord it over me. He listens to me and respects my opinion. Just as I listen to him and respect his opinion. That's a no no in JW land.
You mentioned you were making decisions about your "spirituality." My suggestion is .....RUN LIKE HELL!

I think the point everyone is trying to get across is. It is ridiculous to tell your children not to smoke cigarettes, while you smoke a pack or two a day (in front of your kids). Not only do your children not take you seriously but they have lost respect for you as well. The GB are loosing the respect of the rank and file. Like the saying goes, "do as I say not as I do." HYPOCRITES!

The amusing thing about it is, WT has no shame in being labeled a HYPOCRITE. If you research narcissist(s) you will see amazing similarities. A narcissist will never look at themselves as the problem and will never apologize for anything. NEVER!
