GB wifes

by asp59 in

with the talks abouth tight pants in men and now samuel herd abouth fat women are better then fit .

this are topics women talk abouth.

you think its the gb wifes running the show now?.

I tried watching that Herd talk but found myself furious. Ok....women have to know how to cook, clean and sew a damn button on? Oh my God...can you say 1950? Are you kidding? So many women I do business with could kick some butt in the business world. They are strong and smart and could teach these asshats a few things.

Hey Head, how would you do if you weren't a taken care of WT drone? Could you support your family? Pay your rent/mortgage? Have decent insurance on you healthcare, car & home? Put food on your table? Pay for your car(s) and car repair and maintenance? These guys don't have a clue how the world outside of WT works. How can they , they have been locked up in their little JW bubble, with all their needs taken care of and being treated like a super star by all the drooling rank and file.

These guys are out of touch and delusional!

WTC has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

by AndersonsInfo in

wtc has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.

for example, when puerto rico was devastated by a hurricane, wtc directed a large number of congregations to donate $1500 each in supplies that would be used for relief purposes.

it is not known how many congregations took part in this effort but the feedback suggests it was in the hundreds.

Thank you Barbara. We appreciate ALL that you and your husband do!! You are our hero's!

You are correct there are MANY wealthy JW's in the South Fla area. I have met many. They LOVE to drink too (not the cheep stuff)! lol I have witnessed that as well.

A still in JW family member ask us why WT has all these different "funds" they collect, why not just put it in one kittie (like the world wide work). Our response: Because they make more money when they produce a new "fund." If it didn't work, WT wouldn't continue doing it. She was speechless and the wheels were turning.

Is this really what happens?

by Theonlyoneleft in

hello guys,.

long time no see.

the other day i went out with my sister.

ToesUp

Yes, most JW's give only to "their own (other JW's)."

Our uber JW family could care less about anything outside of JW world. They do not care if you are going to school to achieve a degree, how your business or career is going or anything you have achieved. This is "chasing after the wind" in their opinion.

Now...if you are going off the Beth hell, become an Elder or MS or recently joined the pioneer ranks, they want to hear all about that. Oh yeah, if they need money or someone to help them move, they will then find what you do interesting. In other words, they will use you.

"Karl Adams, Writing Department overseer, wrote a letter to President Knorr (November 18, 1971), questioning the keeping of voluminous files containing embarrassing information on disfellowshipped persons. Even after individuals were reinstated, their files were retained:"

So much for forgiveness and forgiving up to 77 times!!!

Don't count on witnessing Watchtower's demise anytime soon.

by Roger Kirkpatrick in

jw
friends

the fact that there are pomi ex-jws who have been disfellowshiped or inactive for years who still live in constant fear of armageddon indicates that watchtower will manage to exist in one way or another for years, if not decades, to come.

watchtower, like all other religious cults, operate on the premise that "you can fool some of the people all of the time...and that's enough!

".

" it appeared the main thing in his belief system was the thought of being with mom again in "the new system"

Yes, this has a tight hold. The resurrection. We have a family member that I believe has doubts but this resurrection "hope" really has a strong hold on him staying in the cult.

WT uses fear to keep em in. Leave and you now have no hope of seeing dead loved ones again. It's the carrot that WT uses to keep the sheeples in!!

CHILD MOLESTATION: How have they been able to hide it for so long?

by Zoos in

i was in the organization until 2011. .

i n-e-v-e-r heard of this problem.

not even a whisper.

ToesUp

"As elders, you have no obligation to reveal information of this type to the authorities."

They will not reveal a murder but they will reveal a kid who lights up a cigarette or feels his girlfriend up in the back seat. They will take him to the back room and interrogate him and then humiliate him in front of the entire congregation with DF'ing and a talk given on the "sin" he committed.

I have worked at Chelmsford

by Val2020 in

i have worked at chelmsford .

everybody seems so happy, but i couldn’t help wondering why all these volunteers give up their time and money, working for free for the future bethelites to live in such luxury .

all all the volunteers working there now will be kicked out on the street next year, with the lucky few laughing at the poor suckers who irked for free making this new bethel so amazing .

ToesUp

"They're all so happy because they've been indoctrinated to believe that they're "doing it for Jehovah."

When I figured out that "Jehovah" IS the Watchtower, it all fell into place.

Who else provides all this spiritual food?

by StephaneLaliberte in

two days ago, i experienced a spiritual epiphany while visiting the library of a catholic university: i was shocked to find thousands of religious literatures produced by the catholics and protestants in the last few hundred years.

someone could easily spend a secluded lifetime trying to read them all.

for years, i was told by my religious leaders (jws) that the catholics and other religions did not provide spiritual food to their members.

When you are in the JW bubble, there is no outside world. This is the true sign of a cult. If you let someone explore any outside source, it becomes "dangerous." Dangerous that you may leave Watchtower. If you leave, your wallet also leaves.
