Dealing with family

by G Skero in

i'm in my mid 40's and recently started bible study and going to meetings.

my family is really having a hard time with this.

my kids that are over 18 are no longer speaking to me and won't have anything to do with me.

Yes. I agree with NVR2L8. JW's will tell you all the info you are finding out are "apostate lies." They are not lies. My spouse and I left the religion later on in life. The religion we were raised in no longer exists. The changes they make are just incredible. Really check out the generation change they made back in the 90's. The only reason they changed that teaching was because the older ones were all passing away. They had no other option but to change it. The generation teaching was a major teaching. It's like they took everyones hope away. Look at all of the elderly peoples faces. They all look tired and lost. Then they came up with the overlapping generation teaching. Have someone explain that one to you. You will get a "deer in the headlights" look because NO ONE understands and and can't explain it.

I can read any old publication (book)...Moby Dick, Little Women, Gone with The Wind. Those books are still relevant, they have not changed. WT has even instructed the congregations to destroy all of the old publications. You have to ask yourself...why does the all knowing God Jehovah not know how to direct his people and he is constantly changing the Bible and it's teachings? Simple answer....he's NOT directing them!

RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. THINK, THINK, THINK

LISTEN TO YOUR CHILDREN....RUN LIKE HELL. Do your research on the JW's and their history. Trust me when I tell you, you don't want to go there.

My spouse and I are born in JW's and what we have found out over the past several years in INCREDIBLE. Look into JW.facts.com. You will learn so much!

Shunning the Shunning

by Tallon in

found this very interesting article on another site.

looks like there people, and at an assembly too, who are not afraid to show their displeasure to the inhumane policies of the org.. http://avoidjw.org/2016/08/shunning-the-shunning/.

ToesUp

I find it funny that the scriptures that describe the Pharisees applies to the leadership of the JW cult.

Lately, I have been thinking of the scripture that says there would be no natural affection. That also applies to the leadership of the JW cult. The shunning video truly shows the lack of natural affection the Bible describes.

Let's hope that more and more members are starting to see what we all have (TTATT). The cracks are starting to show and WT knows it.

"Well the QB doesn't quite say that.... particularly if it's just one or two people.... the QB says it should be 'considered'.... they'd probably just go - "ah right, there goes ToesUp, again!"

Yes....I have been known to be a "troublemaker." What really pissed the Brothers off, is I am a woman (the weaker vessel). Some Brothers had that look on there face (scared shiTl*ss) when they would see me. I am actually very nice. I just have bitchy resting face. Watch the video....that's me! Mrs. Toes

So according to the question box, if it bothers my conscience, as a publisher in the congregation, will they still sell it? Me thinks so. FOLLOW THE MONEY! Hypocrites!

So....let me get this straight. I can not do any work or business with or on a church. I can not even attend a church for a wedding or funeral BUT Watchtower can sell a building to a church? Boy...that is the height of hypocrisy! They did this with our old Kingdom Hall (sold it to a church). Way to go WT...you don't even have any shame.

“We could not believe the pristine, well-maintained condition of the building,” Stanley said. “It was like everyone’s jaw dropped, with a building that old, how well-maintained it had been.”

Of course it was well maintained. Watchtower has great FREE labor at it's disposal!

Every new court case means cookie cutter response "Jehovah's Witnesses abhor child abuse"

by truthseeker in

jw
friends

has anyone noticed that with each new child abuse case that involves the watchtower, there is no apology to the victims but only their standard cookie cutter response:.

"jehovah's witnesses abhor child abuse".

they "abhor child abuse", but they do not acknowledge any guilt.. i give them a g for repetition for emphasis.

ToesUp

If they abhor it then why don't they make it public (to the congregation) that there is a pedophile in the congregation? If one of my children were molested by someone in the congregation, and I found out the Elders knew and did not tell others, I would be furious. I would be hiring the best attorney money could by and be suing not only the Elders but WTBTS.

Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

by pale.emperor in

just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

Great post rebelfighter.

Don't use your kids to get back at your wife. Let your child see the correct way. Kids watch their parents.

"As JW's we have a loving family-like relationship which you're no longer a part of. "

Who says this to anyone? I would not even say this to an animal, much less another human being. I would have had a really hard time containing my response. Satan would have gotten a hold of me. lol

PE...continue to enjoy your life. JW's are a wart on the ass of humanity.

Like DOC says..."living a happy successful life is the best revenge."

The End of False Religion Is Near! HAHAHA

by tootired2care in

memories!

i remember a few years back being involved in the campaign work, and having the distinctly awkward experience of having to hand the householders this piece of sh1t tract "the end of false religion is near!"..

i recall the discomfort i had trying to get into a conversation about this nonsense.

ToesUp

For all of your JW friends and family concerned over this years "Bunker" video. Remind them of this very important tract work years ago. I remember everyone in our area was on edge...Stating this is Jehovah's final message! LOL Since this brochure was distributed, in our area alone, the local churches are expanding and growing. Turning small home town churches into Mega arenas.
