  Question for those who went to the RC

  by joe134cd in

  i'm just curious with all the happy clapping that is now going on with the singing at the conventions.

  what has been the reaction to it with the r&f.

  has anyone ever commented that it reminded them of a pentecostal revival meeting.

  Just a few short years ago the branch/society (whatever they call it today) would have cited the scripture, 1 Corinthians 14:40...but let all things take place decently and by arrangement." This swaying and clapping would have never been accepted back in our day. New light. So if my child needs a life saving blood transfusion and today it's not ok and dies but tomorrow it's new light and it's a "conscience matter", how is that going to bring my kid back? This is where I have a problem with WT ever changing doctrines and their non chalant attitude towards the outcome.

  Her mother stated, " the meeting should have never been allowed." It infuriates me that these idiots interrogating her ever allowed this meeting to take place. Myself, or anyone in my immediate family will NEVER meet with any of these so called "spiritual men." NEVER!

  Watchtower has A LOT to answer for.

  i left the organization.

  my awakening was this month of july, the first week of july.

  i couldn't answer my own questions about the organization or the doctrines, i couldn't understand the prophecies, i couldn't figure quite well what i was feeling.

  the longer you are out the more you see how a cult steals all your time, resources and energy.

  we wasted so much because we were witnesses!

  Yep...would have more in savings for retirement. Thankfully we got out in time to hopefully save some money. Our older family members are screwed, living off of social security and wondering where their paradise is.

  The old "Book Study Group"

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower

  in the june 2004 kingdom ministry, the self-appointed "faithful slave" published this spiritual exhortation as a q&a item - "the congregation book study—why we need it.

  three years later, in 2007 - in the august kingdom ministry - the same "slave" issued this reminder - "how the congregation book study arrangement helps us.

  but surprise, surprise - within a few short months the "slave" decided that jehovah had had a change of heart, and now decided that the book study in homes - with all of its alleged benefits - was superfluous: .

  In our area. I was almost impossible to get someone to open their home for a book study and then for Saturday AM service. Also, some neighborhoods were starting to complain about the parking situation 2 times a week.

  amazing how cults end up looking so similar.

  have you ever wondered how budhist monks and catholic monks look and behave so similarly?

  or why mormons and jw religion have so many parallels?.

  Special Bethelite Speakers

  by JW_Rogue in

  2. experiences

  i've noticed that some elders will insist on getting a special bethel speaker for memorials, special talks, or sometimes for no reason at all!

  i believe they are trying build connections they can use later, but who pays for it?

  the congregation does and as a former account servant i can tell you airfare isn't all that cheap.

  We have a family member who wines and dines these people, all expenses paid. You should see the look on his face when they are around. He looks looks like an adolescent boy who has a crush on his teacher. It is so funny to watch. My spouse and I have a good laugh. We don't even treat our "worldly" bosses that good.
