  seems to me i remember hearing the scripture A LOT about how jehovah does not forget the good that you have done in his name (always applied to the field service). how they differ from their god - use you up and kick you to the curb - all the while holding david the fallen one up as an example of great faith. no wonder i started to lose my mind...holy crap....none of it makes any sense. they are disturbingly cruel - and yes i am one of those who was kind to disfellowshipped people. having been there myself i knew the horror of it -

  they are a 6 million person judge and jury show - so clear now - oh so clear -

  What were your reasons for not liking the ministry school?

  by LongHairGal in

  2. experiences

  i dropped out years ago because i couldn't stand getting together with sisters i didn't like to do a talk.

  i hated it with a passion!!

  i do realize that you did learn but what i resented was that the sisters were inflicted on each other in a way that i don't think the brothers were.

  I always thought that we should have been taught some "critical thinking", like what if the f'n householder didn't agree with you after 3 minutes of pablum? what then? wanted more conflict and conflict resolution - kind of like the REAL world. oh well, i always cancelled last minute due to anxiety over presenting my newest mini-drama - all hogwash and demeaning to the women who had a more difficult assignment in my mind. would have taken a bible "reading" any day - wtf??????

  I guess it looks like I might live there, I mean since I am a member of the Reno Police Dept, but it's just an avatar's dream.

  Do you think that the Governing Body will pick JW women when men die off?

  by booker-t in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this might seem like a big laughable joke, but i was wondering what will happen when all of the gb members die off or get too old to continue as gb members?

  will they start to pick jw women who claim to be of the annoited and or old enough to be alive during 1935?

  evidently the chosen will get too old to carry on and there will be "new light" to say that young jw can be of the annointed and gb.

  Was Anyone Reinstated But Felt Marked?

  by love2Bworldly in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just wondering if any of you experienced what i did years ago when i was reinstated.

  although people were excited about my reinstatement and said things like "welcome home", i could tell when i would see people i used to be close to--that they still treated me differently, almost like i had a disease or something.

  maybe it's because i was married to a non-jw and had a baby by then?.

  i've been lurking here for a while, so i figured it's time for me to introduce myself.

  i was raised in "the truth".

  both of my parents were witnesses, and so were their parents.

  Governing Body talk in Holland - GB decisions are Jehovah's decisions

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it seems that few are aware of it, but the whole talk here is posted.. http://e-jehovahs-witnesses.com/viewtopic.php?t=2337&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=45.

  seems like holland is having problems with jw authority.. thought i'd paste a few comments from the board before pasting the talk, so you can get an idea of what is happening.... --------------------------.

  thanks for the update from holland.

  When we find Peace, it must be Jehovah?s organisation.

  hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm....gonna think on that for a while............

  Please notice that the shepherd sits upon the cherubs. The cherubs are special servants who are upholding Jehovah?s sovereignty. Why is this also applicable to us here on earth? Because in Jehovah?s organisation we have to reflect this too. Overseers are also upholding Jehovah?s sovereignty. This also means that they have to see to it that persons who aren?t upholding Jehovah?s sovereignty are kept outside the congregation.

  is it a language deal here or is this just another incoherent and disconnected piece of bs? the "please notice that the shepherd sits upon the cherubs" sentence left me hanging....what fun they have with words.

  once again it's off to the Old Testament for an analogy that has no basis in anything but their own minds...spin, spin, spin..........
