a former member said that elders told a relative of his after she was dfed that they would not be praying for her.
is that some kind of policy, or were they just doing their own thing in that instance?
taot.
I've heard of that too. Doesn't that go contrary to what the Bible says? It says to pray for your enemies, so why wouldn't you pray for someone who was associated with your organization.
It's just another way for them to exert control over every aspect of your life.
That's mind control!
just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the jw's.
a person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings.
she lives with a witness.
The witness that she was living with has kicked her to the curb. She doesn't want her to wreck her relationship with Jehovah!
Can you feel the love?
This will be one more nail in their coffin when this person tells everyone about her experience with them.

Thanks for that info Blondie. They just seem to be getting more desperate to me. Their grip is getting tighter. They don't want anyone with critical thinking. Hopefully they will continue to lose people before they get in to deep.

Just heard from a friend who keeps in touch with the JW's. A person who has been studying found out some things on line about the witnesses and decided to not get baptized and stopped attending the meetings. She lives with a witness. So she still has contact with them. The elders called on her an told her that because she had already made a dedication (but not baptized) that she could be disfellowshipped if she continues to associate with the witnesses. How can they do this if she is not baptized?
This cult gets more crazy every time I hear something about them.
wtc has become adept at using tragedy as a means of raising cash.
for example, when puerto rico was devastated by a hurricane, wtc directed a large number of congregations to donate $1500 each in supplies that would be used for relief purposes.
it is not known how many congregations took part in this effort but the feedback suggests it was in the hundreds.
I saw on the news when they were reporting about the devastation in the Bahamas that there were a lot of Jehovah's witnesses holding up signs saying that Jehovah is great and that he loves you. They can't wait to jump right in when there is some type of tragedy. Potential converts!
i was howling watching cedars latest video of tm111 buying a dozen bottles of scotch ((maccallans scotch).
you can't write this stuff.
right, i'm now off to buy a bottle of maccallans 😂..
April fools!
so i was recently in a thrift store, looking through some of the stuff there, when another aisle over, somebody sneezed.. (as far as i know, nobody lost a meatball.... 😅🙃 ...).
anyway, somebody sneezed.
and somebody immediately said, “bless you!”.
I would have just said thank you and moved on. I always did the same thing when someone wished me a merry Christmas or some kind of holiday greeting. People don't need a lecture on why you think your way of thinking is better than theirs. Or care.
as we all know, this org has metamorphosized from one ugly creature to another continuously since it's inception.
but more so it seems in the last 30 years.. i got to thinking what my dad would think if he were to be brought to life for 5 mins to see the way things are now.
how would he even react?.
Is there no more ministry school?
Even if it's not the truth, it's still the best way to life. Talk about cognitive dissonance.
to think that this classic song is “offensive “.... is absolutely ridiculous!.
Everyone's offended by everything! What a stupid world we live in. I go to nonstop HR meetings at my work discussing what we can and can not say or do. It's getting to the point where no one can say anything without having their job threatened.
