talking to a couple old friends and like many are not too pleased with the k.h.
selloffs and being squeezed into another hall.
" oh well the organization needs the funds to build all the k.h's in africa where all the growth is".
These are the same people who fell for the book study being done away with because of gas prices. They also fell for the overlapping generation teaching.
Our families are still buying it. They are NOT critical thinkers, they are scared of anything outside of the JW bubble and they like others to tell them what to do because they can't rely on their own brains to make a decision.
It looks like these types are a dime a dozen. Gullible is the correct word. lol
this was the reply i was given by our coordinator at our recent kingdom hall security meeting.. he explained that they aren't allowed to buy any appliances or do any changes to the kingdom hall without branch approval.
"we put in our letter that a video security system could be purchased for around $600 locally and an app could be downloaded for the attendants to monitor the cameras what's going onoutside.
" they said;" such a system would not be needed in our area of the country, if standard protocols of security are followed as outline by the branch.
It reminds me of the little bratty kid who says..."MINE."
WT is the little bratty kid and even the rank and file are seeing it! lol

WT is watching every penny going out the door. Gotta plan to have enough for all the pending and future child abuse lawsuit settlements.
That was great!!! Laughed the whole time!!
It just goes to show you what types of people we are dealing with. NUTTERS!!!!
i faded from the religion and simply didn’t go back.
once people understood that my family and i left, people in the congregation didn’t know what to do.
should they call me, visit me, leave me alone?
Nope, they don't bother us at all anymore. We have "come clean" with our family. They all know we think it's crap. We have nothing else to loose. Freedom is a wonderful thing!!!
well, i've been lurking for a bit.
first out of cautious curiosity, then, though feeling a bit more comfortable to post, got caught in the confirmation email anomaly, and left unable to post or participate.
so i remained lurking, reading and researching.
Welcome!!!!
i just wanted to give a brief intro.
i was born into jw world and left it in 2015 along with my husband and 2 little children.
looking forward to reading the posts and interaction with you.
Welcome!!! It WILL be the best decision you have made in your life!!!
We left almost 6 years ago! Got our kids out too! They are thriving!!! We are all much happier!!!
i was told there are 4 things that will separate you from jeh.
family, money, pleasure, and ??
(i forget).
The Borg IS Jehovah! lol Separated from "the organization." We have been "separated from Jah (aka the organization) for over 5 years. NEVER BEEN HAPPIER!!!!
my aunt is a super uber jw, albeit a little more delusional than the standard issue jw.
she has 4 kids all who are out and never baptised, she's a widow now and sold the family home and has bought a new place and has plenty of cash in the bank.
my cousins are all very concerned because their mum has a new friend whos "anointed" and says jehovah has spoken to her and she will survive armageddon and so will her kids if she sticks close.. she has been paying out for holidays and vehicle repairs for this anointed sister and her extended family and my cousins are alarmed at whats going on and can see the situation for what it is.
There are so many uber cult members who drool over anyone in the Borg who has a title. Anointed, Bethelite, CO, Elder, MS, Pioneer. The list goes on and on.
We have a close friend who absolutely loves anyone higher up at Behel. His tongue drops out of his mouth if anyone higher up is in his presence. He will do ANYTHING for them! Probably give his last dime and last breathe if he had to. It is what he lives for.
Your Aunt probably has the same mentality. Unfortunately, the Elders could care less. Most of them just don't want to get involved. Especially if they are dealing with a dissenter. lol Who knows, maybe the Aunt is giving WT and the congregation money. We know of a well off sister who cuts checks to the congregation whenever they fall short. The Elders don't want to stop the money train. If the sister quits cutting checks, then the Elders are asked to cough it up.
If your Aunt quit giving money so freely or ran out of money, they would stick her in a nursing home and she would never see the JW's again.
this is a subject that the wt has covered many times.
it uses the example of human feelings as a basis to understand god.. for instance: under the heading "does god notice you?
", it goes into great detail of about what a woman feels when she bonds with her child.
So they use the example of a loving Mother bonding with her child. Now, this Mother is an imperfect person. How many imperfect mothers desire their child to be destroyed? I don't know any!
BUT
Our loving and perfect Creator is going to destroy everyone of his children that is NOT a JW!
Yeah, that make perfect sense WT. You just can't make this stuff up. The JW logic is staggering.
