JWs and materialism

by YellowLab in

jw

been out of the "truth" for nine years now, with many family members and relatives still in.

while i was in, we were taught to be humble and put jehovah first in your life.

meetings, study and service were the most essential parts of being a jw.

I lost count of how many people made comments about "why did we need THAT car" or "why such a big house" etc.

I hate the way instead of being happy for you that you are doing so good, the JW's can make you feel horrible for a little financial success.

Strict Discipline

by ballistic in

one day, while a jehovah's witness mother cleans her sons room, she finds a sado-masochist magazine on top of the wardrobe.

unsure of how to confront him, she keeps the magazine and shows it to her husband when he comes in from doing his shepharding calls.

slowly, he flicks through the pictures of leather clad dominatrix and whips, before handing it back to his wife without a word.

They seem preoccupied with having the latest gadgets, driving a snazzy car, wearing expensive suits, buying a big house, and living beyond their means in general. I agree there is nothing wrong with having nice things if you can afford it, but to the JWs it appears to be an endless quest for them.

Sorry, I have to disagree with you on this. Maybe some JW's are concerned about materialism but others aren't. My husband and I have been working hard to make our home a nice place to live. When we had my mother over my husband thought she might comment on some of the new things we had purchased......not at all...in her opinion if I didn't purchase it at a garage sale, I spent too much...my mother and her husband are like many others I remember from our cong. that gave most of their money to the society. Material things mean nothing to her. She rarely buys anything new and if she does it has to be on sale........she prays about most purchases she makes so as not to spend too much money. It is not only my mother and her husband that I noticed this with but several others in my old cong. In my opinion, it really depends on how loyal the person is to the borg.
