caleb = tree.
strap = discipline .
I was a lucky one. Had a WONDERFUL Elder father. The best Dad in the world (just rooked into a cult).
I remember one of my best friends used to have to pull his own switch from a weeping willow tree outside of the KH. His Dad used to leave marks on his legs. I wondered why he always wanted to spend time at my house.
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.
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.
to me, breakfast can be served at any time of the day.
a local bar in my area serves breakfast all day long.
for 5 bucks you get 2 eggs any way you like, bacon sausage or ham with home fries and toast!!
Cheerios!
hello guys,.
long time no see.
the other day i went out with my sister.
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.
i saw my mother today for the first time in three years..
she was on one of the witnessing carts in town at a station i don’t usually get off at.
i did today as i was dropping my daughter off somewhere.
I can't even imagine turning my back on my children. I sorry PE. These stories are heart breaking and disgusting.

"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!!!
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!!
i was in the organization until 2011. .
i n-e-v-e-r heard of this problem.
not even a whisper.
"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 .
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 .
"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.
