  Loyalty.....the new buzzword promoted by the watchtower Bible and tract society

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  loyalty appears to be the buzzword constantly promoted by the gb at the moment.

  we hear it at conventions, assemblies, and meetings.. let's face it loyalty covers so much.

  shunning of family, friends etc.

  He gave this same talk years ago. I guess the rank and file are not listening. This guy has become a joke.

  Looks like he has a nice tan. I guess the JW rock star life style is pretty nice. Looks like he is eating well too. If you think the congregation kisses the CO's a** what do they do with these 7?

  Robotic, sterile and reminds me of the Stepford Elders. lol I know it is a training video but who talks like this? It is showing the uncaring, unloving "Brothers" they really are. All about hours, title & judging. So glad these things are hitting the internet. The rank and file are getting to see the inner workings of the borg.

  Not angry, just glad we were able to escape semi young enough to hopefully be able to retire one day. Loosing hope that we will ever get our family out.

  this week i visited my sick father in law.. then an old elder from my far away congregation came in for coffee.

  did not see him in 15 years.. nice chat.

  had a lot to say, is alone, his sick wife disabled and away from home.. he told me: "living alone is so hard.

  "The elders finally gave up. It was too much of a burden on "the friends" to have to pick her up."

  We knew of an elderly brother in our area. The Elders gave him plenty of attention. He was housed in a very nice assisted living complex. The Elders and congregation were ALWAYS there for him. Guess what? HE HAD MONEY! Yep...you guessed it, he left it to WT. Spouse had already died and no kids.

  If you can not do anything for anybody in the congregation or at Headquarters, you are not worth the effort. Sad! My heart breaks for these ones.

  Guilt trip

  by Jrjw in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  did anyone have other jws try to guilt trip them when they were leaving or if you were making a decision which jws felt was wrong but wasn't unscriptural?

  i'm getting people guilt tripping me to eventually get back with my emotionally, spiritually and mentally abusive husband who i'm separated from.

  i feel sick at the thought of getting back together and putting myself through that nightmare again but i'm being told its what jehovah wants coz he doesn't want families to be apart.

  Yes, guilt works wonders on many. JW's are famous for making you feel not so good about yourself and question your decisions. Since getting away from those types, we feel so much better and happier. Hope you can escape soon.

  Yes, we have family members who don't go to meetings, assemblies or serve us but still claim to be Jehovah's Witnesses. Maybe Serena can throw WT some cash to receive Watchtower's approval.

  "John Cedars Reddit article mentioned a shunning case that is to be decided soon by the Supreme Court of Canada"

  I wonder how many lawsuits WT has been slapped with because of the shunning?
