  Sisters running microphones?

  by NikL in

  so our sunday meeting was on the 25th (christmas) and my active jw wife and i were out of town enjoying some family time with relatives.. apparently there were many others in our congregation that missed as well.

  so few were there in fact that sisters ran the mics.

  (actually it was a sister running one of the two mics) a friend of my wife commented to her about how the brothers just aren't stepping up and it "makes her want to cry.

  let's face it, we're all connected now.

  The con is completed - comments from the US branch's LDC chief

  by sir82 in

  recently attended a special assembly day.. guest speaker was thomas chicky, a member of the us branch committee and the head of the us ldc (which has replaced the rbcs).. the last talk of the day is scheduled for an hour.

  it was the usual boring mumbo-jumbo.

  he appeared to have blasted through his hour-long outline in just about 45 minutes, so he "treated" us to informal comments on recent developments.. he commented on the new wt complex in fishkill ny.. then he dropped the bomb (well, to anyone with ears and at least 2 functioning synapses).. the following is not a word for quote, but presents the gist of his comments:.

  Yep...the ole bait and switch. Watchtower is very good at it. Years of practice. The majority will just bobble their heads up and down in agreement. Sad! The thing that satisfies us is NONE of our money is going towards any WT crap. We are enjoying a vacation this week.

  LURKERS....VOTE WITH YOUR WALLETS!

  The thing that gives my spouse and I great satisfaction is not contributing to WT anymore. Our money is being used to enjoy life, save for our kids college and plan for retirement. NO MORE MONEY FOR WT! Let's hope more of the rank and file are seeing WT for what it really is....a sham!

  How many donation boxes do they have in the back of the Kingdom Halls now? It seems like they have a fund for every little thing. Mo money, mo money, mo money!

  The right to shun - wrong?

  by Simon in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many people are understandably upset and angry at the notion that jws have the right to shun people.

  it seems such an obvious "no brainer" cruel and inhuman thing to do - it must be wrong ... surely?.

  of course we look at things from the perspective of those hurt and harmed by shunning.

  Try reverse shunning, it feels great. I don't want to associate with anyone who has the audacity to shun someone else. They don't deserve to be in our lives.

  "Some folks will stay in an abusive relationship no matter what take place, that's life......I love him or her, he or she will change. Over a hundred years of abuse by the GB, most will stay...."

  Unfortunately, James is right on this one. There are so many people out there that just "roll over." These ones typically stay for friends and family. Enjoy that ride...I'm outta there. Life is too short to live a lie. Go enjoy what life you have left.

  We are noticing our family that stays in and sees the problems with the org but choose to stay. They deal with it with anti depressants and booze. Sad!
