so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.
my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.
to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!
Sending our sympathy nowwhat.
My spouse and I have witnessed, throughout the years, several "prominent" JW's passing away. The funerals and eulogy go much deeper then the average JW. The amount of people who show up, the talk and even the little brochure they give out at the funeral, go into much more detail. It's who you are in this cult.
i hope you are all doing ok and healing from the cult.
i’m looking for an image of the old woman donating to watchtower but also in the same pic looking in her fridge and having little to eat.
i need it for a video for youtube.
"Many brothers and sisters took out loans to get the ball rolling"
We had a hard time taking the Sunday speaker out to dinner. I can't imagine taking a loan out for this cult.
Darkknight.....my spouse and I enjoy your YouTube videos.
'' has your desire to put jehovah first been tested during this pandemic?
you lost your job and you searched for another one.
finally, after a long search, you found one but it was a job that would require you to miss all your meetings and field service.
My spouse was laid off from his job several years ago. Our service group leader was the ONLY Eldur who asked how we were doing. Not one other Eldur inquired. The only thing they asked is where he was. He missed meetings because he had to take work where he could, to feed his family.
I am actually VERY grateful for this, it was one of the very first things that made me question this cult being "Jehovah's organization." Thank you WT and your litte WT nazi's!!!
the watchtower—study edition | october 2019. .
study article 41. stay faithful through the “great tribulation”.
14 during the great tribulation, a change will take place regarding the brothers who take the lead on earth.
Yes, they will be in the Cayman islands with the billions made off of the backs of the rank and file JW's.
thanks petra and atlantis for sending the latest letter regarding the watchtowers plan for a worldwide campaign in november this year.
i am wondering what they are planning to achieve from this campaign, particularly their focus on sending the watchtower 2020 no.
2, titled "what is god's kingdom" to politicians, governments (and tribal leaders) around the world.. it would appear that this is their answer to governments who have put them in the spot light for their bad policies, particularly their handling of child abuse.
Watchtower is the knat on the ass of humanity. The governments have so much on their plate right now, a nutty little cult is the least of their problems. Like someone mentioned, there is an election in November and COVID. No one is focusing on what this cult has to say.
a few weeks ago; a witness couple from the midwest reached out to me after 25+ years.
they said they were doing a letter writing campaign and decided to reach out to me… they called on my personal cell phone, which was a little surprising.
a few days ago, a couple that i knew from over 40 years ago, sent me a text, again to my personal cell phone.. i assume that they just googled my name to get the personal info.
It's all about the "time." Since there is no door to door preaching, JW's have to get their "time in."
it was announced at the meeting.
do what you are able to because of covid.. i think i should sign up as i’m able to meet the hour requirements.
.
Oh no, is WT eliminating titles? What will our family do.....NO MORE TITLE OF PIONEER!!! Oh yeah, what was I thinking, they have read the Awake rags, which is equivalent to going to college. lol
and this isn't a cult?
just saw my wife put on her name tag for the zoom assembly.... what the what?
i thought these things werent even live.
"My young son said and i quote, " Thats some screwed up shit "
goingthruthemotions....You have a smart son.
when i drive by the kingdom hall i grew up attending at but, was sold directly to a church, i get angry.
the elders who handled the sale didn't even remove the watchtower shaped bricks on each side of the sign near the street so, now they advertise for a baptist church.
how many times as i grew up i heard things like: you should not do work ( such as clean carpets for a church) you wouldn't want to work at a cigarette making plant or a facility that makes bombs for the military.
Yes, they did the same thing with our old KH. Sold it to a church. It was a huge wake up call for us. We faded shorty after the sale. BEST DECISION WE EVER MADE!!
dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.
that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.
statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!
It just makes you wonder if some of these Elders go home and think about what you wrote in your DA letter. You never know how you letter will impact someone. It may not be today but tomorrow may be another story.
