  Isn't interesting that financial support was mentioned several times. Even mentioned before prayer. What a load of crap. In the corporate world they don't sell off assets, consolidate and lay off unless they are struggling financially.

  Learn To Speak Like A Jehovah's Witness

  by pale.emperor in

  1. social
  2. humour

  for those who were never a jw, here's a fun guide to passing yourself as one:.

  privilege [priv-lij] - a duty nobody would volunteer to do which is assigned to you without your say so.

  such as cleaning the toilets, picking up other brats candy wrappers in the back row and being stuck on locking up duty for the 7th time in a row.. df'd [dee-eff'd] - disfellowshipped.

  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.

  "Do u want them to help or not?"

  I'd like to see the WT help even the most lowly of publishers, they won't. They pick and choose. That's the point I am trying to make. I am a card carrying/proud mentally diseased apostate. You see, I spent 40 plus years not being allowed to have an opinion. As most of us hear have. So glad I'm free!

  'In this case the jw org did help a LOT just fyi."

  You mentioned JW dot org in a previous post. Not attacking family, just WT for how they choose to help others. There are a lot of people who a wonderful people within the org, I just won't back up WT. They have their own agenda....THEM.

  Like I said above...Watchtower helped because of WHO she was and who she was related to (part time Bethelites).

  How many of us on this forum have witnessed the most wonderful, faithful witnesses that would lay their life down for Jehovah (aka the organization) BUT they where just not of the "special class?" You know the ones I am talking about. The Bethelites or the "heavy hitters" (rich Brothers). The ones that could DO something for WT. Remember.....FOLLOW THE MONEY!

  " Her parents have done loads of volunteer work at HQ over the years of going back and forth for Phelicity's treatment so theyre like part time bethelites if that's a thing?"

  With all due respect of this incredible loss. This family received assistance because of WHO they were. My family and I have witnessed this over and over again in this religion. NOW...we are out. NOW...we have witnessed complete strangers giving and helping others that they do not know. You know...evil worldly people.

  This religion gives to those they call "exemplary." This is one thing that really irks me! They won't give to anyone else. We have seen some VERY faithful Brothers and Sisters throughout the years who are what we call "ordinary folk". They won't give squat to these ones. We experienced this personally and is one of the main reasons we are OUT.... NEVER to return!

  Moving to Warwick Video incl. Morning Worship

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a new video is up about the commencement of moving to warwick.shawn bartlett tells the viewers that jehovah has said, through the governing body, ‘it’s time to move out of brooklyn.

  ‘ then helper robert lucciona says ‘ the governing body, these brothers, as soon as they see god’s direction, they just move, it doesn’t matter if it is long held, cherished ideas, this is the way it has to be done, as soon as they see jehovahs direction.

  he just kept nudging imperfect humans, he knew where he wanted us and then we end up where we are supposed to be.

  I tried, I really tried to watch it but OMG couldn't get through 2 minutes! Jah's hand is in everything when all is well in JW land. Not so good in JW land....it's Satan.

  With up to 70% of young ones leaving what's the future of the jw's?

  by karter in

  2. friends

  they wlll always have new people coming in but the majority of the congro's are getting older particularly the inner city ones were it is expensive to live.

  they are struggling to get men to be elders and m.s's and this can only get worse as very few young ones stay around.

  Exactly DOC! Just look at how full the Kingdom Halls were just after 9/11. People you had not seen in years just showed up. Shortly thereafter, they all disappeared again. Poof...gone!

  They will still be around. There will be those who just stick around for family and friends (they know TTATT but can't leave) and then there are those who know NOTHING else. We have family members who have NO life out of WT. No jobs or they are self employed. They live in there own little world. None of them have planned for the future (old age and retirement) so are now scrambling or worrying about their financial future.

  WT will be a much smaller cult than is has been in the past but it will never go away. There is a sucker born every minute, so there will be those who are down and out in life that will gulp down the WT kool aid.

  The most common thing we hear from our JW family is...."OBEY, OBEY, OBEY." Obedience is one of the major bullet points of being part of a cult.
