I remember one about a young who was seduced to going over to a young worldly girl's house. They were sitting on a couch in a living room when she made the moves on him, but like Potifer he fled. Later on that day (In the drama) he was blessed by Jehovah with some new tires for his car (brother-so-in-so had some extras laying around in his garage and noticing he needed some he gave them to the young man out of the goodness and kindness of his generous heart.) The young bro recognized the tires were a blessing from Jah and he used them to go out in service and to serve Jah more fully and of course forgot all about the girl. Anyway, this may have been the way it was or this may have been 2 dramas I have merged together in my mind about the girl and the tires--it seems too bizarre now, but this is honestly the way I remember it.

I just shed some tears over your post. I am so sorry those things were ever said to you. I am glad you are out too and away from the WT abuse.
Love you,

Ok, memory trigger here.
A bro in the congo was dying of cancer. His wife was very zealous and know as being rather cold hearted. She cracked the whip hard on her kids. It was circuit assembly time and this man was on his last legs, but the wife insisted that the kids went to the circuit assembly. I saw them before they left being carted off with another family to the assembly. they looked so pale and drawn and wore out from grief and I really felt sorry for them and it didn't feel right to me at all, but I couldn't process it like I do now. I now look at it as emotionally abusive They could have spent these last days with their Dad, but formost they were to be serving the Org. I doubt if they got much out of the assembly. I remember one talk about missing meetings and it "suggested" that even if some are sick in the immediate family the rest of the family should go to the meetings so they can bring home spiritual encouragement to the ailing one. What about staying home to take care of the ailing one? This of course was never the "suggestion."

This really get's my goat
by JV inwould you treat somebody better if they drove a mercedes as opposed to a person who drives a ford pinto, you don't have to be mr. spock to figure out that's not logical, so why would you treat somebody differently if they get in 20 hours per month as opposed to 2 hours a month, this goes on all the time in dub land, this is the major thing that " stumbles" me, (my favorite dub word, that'll i'll vent about in a future post).
the dubs do this all the time and it really pisses me off, they claim that their not a judgemental group but we all know better.
how can you judge somebodys worth on a slip of paper marking how many hours they go knocking on doors, that's just wrong.

It always bothered me that sister or brother so in so could put in pioneer hours and getting many pats on the back bu tstill be a judgmental uncaring moron where as another bro or sis could be always there and helping those in need ( bringing food to the sick and taking the elderly to the doc or helping someone move or with their children etc) but get no recognition at all. Something was always wrong with this picture for me. I remember a sister being in major stress because she was caring for her dying mother, but not able to put in service hours for a while. I told her she was doing a good and honorable work caring for her mother, but she said she wished she could record that as service hours. Human worth reduced to number on a slip of paper--very sad--very sad.

I have heard it works for some people for pain. Some have suggested making it into an oil by slowly heating the MJ in the oil to release the essentials into the oil and then rubbing the oil on the body (the temples for migraine).

I am new to the board
by Pinned Blouse inhello everyone, i am new to this discussion board.
my name is pinned blouse because once i was wrongly df'd and i no longer attended the meetings, i noticed all my blouses had pin holes in them where i fastened safety pins in them to make sure i was always "modest" lol.
mind you i do not have large boobies but i did not want to "tempt" the brothers.. .

Welcome pinned blouse,
I love your name and think it could be symbolic of the whole watchtower experience of women in the Org. Great title for a book on women exiting the WT--or maybe now we could call it "Unpinned Blouse" as we are revealing ourselves here in ways we did not when we were in the Org. (I am talking mentally here--ha--ha)
will look forward to hearing you more,
Love,

Why the Watchtower should learn from Mormons
by metatron ini suppose some people would say that there's no such thing as a 'good' cult.
however, it should be apparent.
that some cults are worse ( or better) than others.. in the midst of my visit to an area with 'rich' witnesses, it occurred to me that they imitated mormons a bit, without.

When they are on their missions in Hawaii they aren't allowed to go swimming. What torture. Most of them are quite pudgy from lack of exercise and tto much local cuisine.

Lisa I am going through this same thing with my sister only she is shunning her own 2 sons and one of them is not even DFd, but not interested in being a JW anymore. I just wrote her an email and told her I am no longer in good conscience able to follow the mandates of the WT Organization. She wrote me back and said that she feels sorry that I have been "discouraged" and discouragement is one of the oldest tools around. (Of course we all know what that means in WT speak) If you do call don't waste your breath defending yourself--just tell her the truth in a few simple lines and leave it at that or you could say something like I can no longer support an Organization that is tearing families apart the way it has torn ours apart--this does not seem like anything to do with a loving God to me. I would suggest something along those lines, but it is up to you. Writing might be easier. All the best to you.
Love, cybs
