  "2. Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?"

  WT can not use this one anymore. Remember, they told the rank and file in a not so distant WT that they "are not inspired" so how can they be "spirit-directed?"

  Interesting change. The uber's will just bob their heads in agreement, like they do every weird and bizzare "change." I mean "new light." lol

  It seems that WT doesn't quite trust the "Brothers" to handle this. Interesting.

  I'm thinking "Menlo Park Cong."

  Wait until these Elders realize that Mother will not be there for them when the chips are down. I hope I live long enough to see it with my own eyes.

  Reminds me of a kid who grabs a toy and says "mine."

  Thanks Atlantis!

  Well IIiana, where did you learn to become a computer programmer? Did you receive High Education? How about those doctors, nurses, engineers and lawyers working at Beth Hell? Where did they get their training? Higher ed?

  It has always amazed me that WT will vilify those who receive University degrees EXCEPT when it benefits the old WT. THIS IS HYPOCRISY AT IT'S BEST BUT NO ONE WITHIN THE CULT SEE'S IT!!!!

  A joyless memorial

  by eyeslice2 in

  2. experiences

  many years ago i started a thread entitled 'a religion with nothing to celebrate' (https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/80630/religion-nothing-celebrate).. prior to about the year 2000, our congregation met in what had previously been an old church.

  we purchased it and even though we had little cash, made the place beautiful.

  it had real character, with beautiful wood work and we even managed to keep some of the stained glass windows as they weren't religious in nature.

  Yes, the "intimacy" is long gone. Years ago, we had a fantastic book study group. We actually enjoyed hanging out with this group. The home we met in was my parents home. There was goody night and many anniversaries were celebrated after the book study. On Saturday's we would all go out to eat after serve us. It was nice.

  Now, I don't even know where some of those people are. A lot of them have died and others are in their old age. It's sad. It seems like WT took the joy out of everything, even it's people.

  Quick builds were fun. Everyone worked hard and pitched in. Something our children will NEVER experience.

  Those good ole days are gone!!

  2. experiences

  i think this can be said about all religions and cults.

  people are in them and want to be in them do to social reasons more then anything else.

  one prime example is my oldest boy.

  Yes, it is frustrating to watch. I believe JW's NEED others in the org to survive. They are scared of their own thoughts.

  Typically what happens is something happens in THEIR lives that impacts them personally and then the find out who their "friends" are. Some people have to touch the fire and feel that it is hot. Others know it is hot and stay away. I like the boiling frog analogy that someone else posted. It is so true.

  We have watched our family experience abuse within the org all of our lives. They go back and make the excuse, "they are imperfect men." I really think they are scared to be without it. They have invested too many years to leave.

  I hope one day your son can see it for himself.
