  Scully grounded him for some really hateful, callous posts last night.

  I made a pretty nasty comment about him on the Friends thread he started. Me tinks he didn't like em ... called him a little slave and told him to go ahead and waste his life serving OWM in an ivory tower ... etc etc. Then I told him in the nice-nastiest way I could to f**k OFF (please don't be mad at me Scully). Maybe I provoked him just a weeeeee little bit. I can't help it ... I'm a Gemini .... I can get a little fiesty sometimes sweet tee of the "bad aposta-b**ch, bad, bad, bad - class"

  Hopefully another JW lurker will tell you why you should remain a JW. Then you can discern the right course.

  Why would a dub discourage one from remaining in the org. if they truly believe it is the only way to salvation??? DUH!

  question-- if a jw is disfellowshipped for having too much association with a non-witness- is this jw likely to be refused a reinstatement as long as he is associating with her-- and if so- will he be allowed to talk to her again to some degree after he is reinstated?

  So it's alright to sell to Babylon the Great but it's not alright to show at the Salvation Army. Woe to you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites!

  Donald,

  My two cents: After reading your post, my advise to you is this - You are a grown man with responsibilities. No one has the right to tell you how to live your life, whom to forgive and when and how to act with regard to your wife/ex-wife, children or whomever else. It is obvious from your original post that all the elders care about is controlling people. Where was Jesus in all this? Where was his empathy and compassion as shown in the scriptures? IMO it was totally absent.

  By their fruits you will know them. These people bind up heavy burdens upon the R&F and then are not willing to lift them with even a finger, as is evident in your request to help move some boxes because you were sick. If you had asked one of your 'worldly' neighbors they probably would have been happy to do so. You should not subject yourself to this controlling cult any longer. They don't care how low you fall, they will not be there to catch or even comfort you. In fact they would take great pleasure in disfellowhipping you and then spreading gossip about how wicked you are. I know, it happened to me. Even children at my kids school knew the twisted story my ex and the elders put out about me but we didn't/don't let that affect us in any way.

  Anastasi appears to be completely brainwashed and ignorant of the facts about the organization and its practices, he cannot see the truth about the organization because it hasn't affected him personally. If he/she is a loyal member then he/she will stand with them and defend them no matter what you say. I myself have defended the org. in the past but that was before I left and was exposed to the hypocrisy of this self proclaimed 'true religion'. Nothing anyone could ever do or say would induce me to go back to that.

  One love

  Tam

  We had a sis. play the piano in our congregation in the mid-eighties. Then they nixed it for the sake of 'unity'. Heard they used to have choirs sing at the assemlies too. That would have been great for me. Good music makes my heart rejoice - much more so than a boring sermon or talk

  The Money Is Drying Up In The Organization!

  my mother told me that the congregation has been pretty much begging for money for the local kingdom hall.

  after the presiding overseer expressed the state of debt and severe lack on contributions, he then asked the congregation to approve a resolution to send mor money to the society!!!

  i don't know how they are able to function.

  Thanks for starting this thread heartstrings. I want to know the same thing but didn't know how to ask the question and I believe (perhaps credulously) that the people on this board will tell the truth about their experiences.

  I do believe in the supernatrual and hope that there are 'good' spirits out there available to help me in life. But I guess they'll contact me when they/I am ready. As for the ouija board and the like - IXSNAY - I've read discussion boards about them - BAD NEWS! No thanks. I will never allow one of those things in my home. And if I go someone elses house and they have one, or are playing with one, I'll be outta there with a quickness.

  Let them sell off some of their real estate holdings if they're struggling - GEESH! Where is Jehovah's blessing on the org. now??? Close some of those half-empty KH's and have a FIRE SALE (lol).

  If they encourgage people to get an education maybe they'd have more money available to support to borganization - oh wait, then too they might be smart enough to leave (tee hee hee).
