Latest Study Watchtower - JW's NEED to confess to elders

by The Fall Guy in

watchtower november 2017, page 10, paragraph 8 - "today, a christian guilty of serious sin needs to seek the help of congregation elders to recover.

) why is this so important?

first, the arrangement for elders to handle cases of serious sin comes from jehovah, (2nd lie!

I would take a bullet to the head before I confessed to one of thos ass hats!

trying not to type swearwords as i write this so bare with me.. my little 3yo attends meetings with her jw mum (who doesn't believe watchtower anymore but is stuck in because she relies on her family for help).

my mum (the one who tells people im dead) had a party for her grandchildren.

that's my 4 nieces and 1 nephew aged from 3yo-11yo.

PE...just watched you clip above of Erin. She is absolutely precious. When you want hit someone for the way she and your ex were treated, play that video. She adores you!

The JW's are a sick bunch. I hope your ex can soon make her exit as well. I'm sorry they had that happen, it hurts so much. This is how this cult rolls and I think karma is biting them.

Enjoy that sweet sweet baby!!! ❤️

Gerrit Losch Claims JW's Attending College Are Spiritually Weak

by pale.emperor in

https://www.facebook.com/jw.0027/videos/799049613609936/.

the video was posted directly to a pro-jw facebook page.

i cant believe what i'm hearing... actually, nothing surprises be about this cult anymore.. didn't they say to the judge in the arc that they dont discourage college?.

ToesUp

Yeah WT is great at demonizing education BUT they sure love to "use" the brothers and sisters education to their benefit...i.e. Nurses, doctors,lawyers, dentists, engineers, plumbers and anyone who specializes in anything that can be of benefit. It sickens me and is at the height of hypocrisy.

info on why JWs can't go into other churches

by banco6 in

jw
friends

i would like to know why jws can't enter another church,for funerals or anything?

ToesUp

I must have been such a mediocre JW, I had zero problem entering a church for a wedding or funeral. They sold our Kingdom Hall to a church. I figured if they could do that, then I had no problem walking in one. You talk about hypocrisy. WT sells our hall to a church but I can't enter one to support a loved one? Really? It's amazing how it only flows one way....WATCHTOWERS WAY!!!!

honesty

by midnight in

regarding the recent 1975 video at the convention it hit me !.

when reasoning with people about the inspiration of the bible we used the bible writers candor ie/ there honesty when recording bible accounts about there personal mistakes .. how come the governing body despite its claims to be spirit directed are not honest about there mistakes ?.

ToesUp

Governing Body : the true definition of narcissists. A narcissist will NEVER admit they are wrong. They would die before they ever admitted a mistake on their part.

the conversation is normal, we talk about how he's doing down there and how i am doing.

then he tells me that my cousin who i haven't seen in 5 years, is with him and asks if i would like to speak to him; i said yes.

ToesUp

Great news Jules! DF'ing is a vile practice.

What I Noticed At An Event During This Week. . . . . .

by HiddlesWife in

i attended an event this week with my usual closest relatives, which was inside a community center-ish venue with a backyard area.

it was given by my cousin's best friend.

she invited around 50 people of all age groups and racially-mixed.

ToesUp

"Satan is influenceing so many!" Lol

Before we made our exit, a Sister (Elders wife) told me a couple of JW acquaintances had belly button rings. I told her that the org doesn't support that. She looked at me like I just landed from Mars. I truly believe these people don't know what WT promotes. I think during meetings and assemblies they are thinking about who is going and where they are going for dinner and their next vacation. Like I said before, this is an al a carte cult. Pick and choose what you want to follow.

Theocratic warfare. Great video

by stuckinarut2 in

we all recall the appalling example of vin toole during the australian royal commission when he was questioned about"theocratic warefare".

here is a great video that shows how the society has used, and in turn tried to lie about "theocratic warfare".

I was impressed by part of today's symposium entitled ' Safeguard your children from what is evil'

by UnshackleTheChains in

well i have to give credit where credit is due.

it was the part of today's symposium - build a house that will endure.

the part i was most impressed with was 'safeguard your children from "what is evil".

ToesUp

WT HAS to address these issues, they are loosing members in droves. Too little too late WT! How is this going to help the victims that are now adults? Typical JW....your kids need to watch how they dress? Really? A 5-8 year old needs to be careful how they dress? That's as bad as the one, if you don't scream, it's really not rape. This is one f'd up organization. No apology from WT....never. Remember.....1975 was all the rank and files fault too, even though there are recorded talks and printed literature that stated WT promoted theses thoughts! True 100 percent NARCISSISTIC BEHAVIOR! A narcissist will NEVER admit fault, it's ALWAYS the other person!

Is WT letting the congregation know there is a pedophile in their midst? It is one thing to warn parents to watch over their children but if the parents don't know than it can be difficult. I left my children with families for short periods of time, when we were still in. If I'm not warned there is someone in the congregation that has been suspect, it's difficult to watch out for.
