  When You Would Hear A Talk About Committing “Secret Sins” How Did You React?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seemed as if every year a talk would be given in the congregation or at a convention about “secret sins”.

  very predictably, witnesses would have pangs of conscience and confess their secret sin.. back in the 70s, one sister with an unbelieving mate went to the elders to confess about husband and her engaging in oral sex.

  she was privately reproved for her “sin” and every so often would approach the elders to say she slipped up again.. i know i’d never tell anybody about my sex life just because of misguided guilt.

  hmmm. dunno about that "greasing him with oil" in the name of jehovah.

  was this before, during or after the secret sin ?

  Great Sell-Off is for the Expansion Work in Africa

  they say this sell off is for the need to build more kh.

  however the branch accounting video that was leaked shows otherwise.. is there a way to find out how many halls are constructed in africa and other places to show the money trail is to pay for child abuse cases and not new halls.?.

  1,000 new kingdom mudhalls at $25,000 each will cost $25 million. i cant see the watchtower writing a cheque for that amount though.

  i used to see them in my neighborhood or while driving.

  there is a hispanic congregation nearby.

  Congregation memorial stats

  by nowwhat? in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  2 congregations met together attendance 355 which is close to exact number of combined publishers.

  only saw a couple of new faces.

  so it looks like once again the invitation work was a complete failure and relatives of jw's couldn't be talked into coming anymore!.

  stan, obviously the WTS no longer uses those words/phrases. But they once did. We can learn from WTS history.

  no--i wasnt taking a pop at you---rather commending your knowlege.

  His Rose colored glasses are back on

  so my husband who was not attending meetings for the last four months, went to the special talk, the memorial and the meeting today.

  he said he feels jehovah’s spirit is back and that they are all being so kind.. i am just sick to my stomach.

  he just refuses to see anything as a problem.

  i must be missing something.

  youve both been dubs for many years--youve had enough--and quit. he is still dithering. dont make a big deal out of it. if your marriage is still good in all other departments, just put up with this phase hes going through--it could be a lot worse--like if you were the devout one and he was really opposed--think what life would be like for you then.

  i got the impression a lot in the audience were unaware of what was going on. just sat there--switched off....so thats normal then. sit there--stupified..not taking anything in..till the closing prayer--then they know its over.

  the hardest part for them is trying to stay awake. those chairs look too comfortable.
