It baffles me why they would even say this

by Tameria2001 in

back in 2001, i left the jws rather abruptly.

i had discovered things about the watchtower that really made me quite angry, angry because i had been lied to, and it took me just to darn long to figure it out.

before i had left, my husband and i wrote 3 letters, one to the elders at our congregation, and two to our parents.

This sounds VERY familiar. We to have been told similar things.

They are too old to do anything different. It scares them to even contemplate leaving the borg. It is ALL they know. It is like the movie the Truman show.

If your family wants to continue to believe this, even if it is not true, so be it. If they choose not to associate with you or your family, it is their great loss. As much as it hurts, it is their choice and we may not understand why but we have to go along with it or it will drive us nuts thinking about it. This is what we have decided to do. When we are with our still in family, it really is just small talk and casual conversation. When WT subjects come up we just sit there and smile and keep quiet. It is just too frustrating going head to head with them. They all know how we feel about WT and we will not continue to argue with them.

WT is their comfort zone. Their warm blanket. It makes them feel safe, warm and cozy. If they left that comfort zone and went and lived in the real world, I just don't think they can handle it. WT tells them how to feel, think and live. Doing anything without WT is scary. It is a VERY sad way to live.

Praises the WT for JW apps but sneers at members with higher education, in 2018

by ohnightdivine in

i guess we all know the answer why this still happens... but really, why?.

just a month ago i was having some conversation with this sister and since i'm on inactive status, she was trying to get me to download all those jw apps because the "work is speeding up" and i shouldn't be missing out on anything from the org.

especially when they come up with all these "provisions" that intend only to benefit the members.

ToesUp

Yes, WT is wonderful at "using" people. If it benefits WT, well it's okay. I have heard several who attended college say that they took a lot of shit for attending BUT when WT could "use" their services all was well.

Sorry, my spouse and I don't take too kindly to being used. WT will NEVER receive a moment of our time or another cent we have earned!

I Saw An Elder Yesterday Who Told Me 3 Area Kingdom Halls Were Being Dissolved

by minimus in

jw
friends

he said they read the letter to the congregation and were told the kh would be disbanded.

2 other halls in the area were slated for closure.

he said many people in the congregation began crying.

"The bOrg leadership didn't really seem to care."

All WT cares about is the money in the coffers and blind obedience! It's becoming very obvious to the rank and file.

The top narcissist in the cult. All the GB members started out as CO's. It's any wonder they all ended up as top notch, grade A narcissist's.

"They were somewhat dismissive, saying it’s probably a bunch of apostates she talked to."

Yes, a bunch of apostates that are exposing WT for what they really are. Justice is being served!!!

How Did The Elders Treat You?

by minimus in

jw
friends

did you get along with them?

did you ever incur their wrath?

most jws want to be “friends “ with the elders, kind of like having a policeman that you know who might help you out if you are in need..
