  THE GB/WBATS ARE RATTLING THE FENCE...

  by ADJUSTMENTS in

  for all those who are still hanging on to the figurative fence, the gb/wbats do not like you.

  with the many recent successive adjustments, changes, new light and new bible, fear tactics and the new meaning of gods name, many who were on the fence have went to their respective sides of the fence.

  wether that side is the brainwashed, cult following, ultra jw side, or the eyes opened, i can see ttatt, i want out side, this is what they want.

  How long can someone "study" before they are "encouraged" to become baptised and go out in

  service? I have a cousin who is playing the game perfectly, she never went for the WTBTS when she was

  growing up (she's born in) but now at 33 has decided to attend meetings and "study" with someone and has been

  doing this for about 2 years now but no field service just attending meetings. Seems to work great for her

  since the congo she's in has several 30 somethings to party and drink with but so far no field service. I know

  people don't have to be baptised to go out in service but it seems to be at some point she won't be able to

  continue the fence sitting that she's been doing for so long and so well.

  they are remodeling some etc. Of course all I can think of is scam scam scam but of course she would never

  see it that way. Just wondering if anyone had any inside knowledge on what they are up to around here?

  Was John Casino in the Pacific NW? I seem to remember him well. What about Kin and MaryJo Sueon (pronouced Shin)?

  I have a great story about Kin, he wanted me to be his mistress! No lie! Just made me wonder how many other ones he

  had!

  i have a psycho cousin that has decided to go back to the jw's after never wanting to be a jw even though.

  now in her early thirties she's decided to join up.

  i heard her say something about this.

  Hmmm very interesting. Wonder why my cousin thought it was so fricking wonderful? I'll never understand people

  who go back to this stuff after clearly not wanting anything to do with it prior. I guess the pressure of being separated from

  family is too much for her. However I'm sure she'll be one of those people that will study forever and never get baptised and

  never go out in service since her father is a uber elder. After all that might cut into her hobby of going to rock concerts every week. But in the meantime she's getting love bombed to death and lots of attention which is what she thrives on. Whatever!

  So Jw's are allowed to celebrate baby showers, but not birthdays?? huh??

  by nolongerconfused in

  perhaps, one of the most arrogant and contradicting behaviors of jdubs.... what is the difference between celebrating a baby shower and a birthday?...they both have ancient origins, from pagan people, including egyptians and the greek.... have you guys noticed any other hypocrite celebrations/behaviors jdubs engage in?.

  Seems to me that wedding anniversaries are right in the same catagory! I know some folks here in Seattle that go all out for anniversary parties.

  Seems to me you are bringing too much attention to that couple but WTF do I know?

  I think this is the third time my mom has attended too! You're right is probably more of a social thing

  than anything else for her.

  Shunning for inactive ones?

  by frogonmytoe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i visited my sister in a small town in the midst of the country, the town has a population of 3,000 and there's about 70 in the cong.

  anyway, there was a local needs talk a few months ago about associating with family members who didn't live under your roof and no longer went to meetings.

  one family of an elder dad and three sons (one an elder too, the others have stopped going) and a daughter (still going but married a 'worldly') are quite prominent and one half of a typical congregational feud.

  Once again it depends on who you are in the JW's if you get in trouble associating with "inactive" JW's. My uber elder cousin in Lynnwood WA does all sorts of things with his inactive sister (inactive for 35+ years) and her husband who is a deacon in his Anglican church!!! I really don't know how elder cousin justifies it but he does. Perhaps he doesn't give all the details to the other elders when he goes on these excursions with his sister. But he's so self righteous I don't understand how he can justify it but he does.
