Where Is The Love?

by minimus in

roberta flack sang that song in the 1970's.

today, it's the anthem for jehovah's witnesses in the "worldwide brotherhood".

this religion says they are different.

They pay lip service to love. Being that we were dirt poor most of the time I was in the lie we were left out a lot of the times. We did receive a few invitations over the years, I can count them on my hands with fingers to spare. For some reason I expected real friendships to develop after these 'gatherings' but only two sisters really took an interest and became real friends to me personally. The rest were either cliqued up or lonely loners. One friend faded by the time I left and the other just left me completely alone when I began to fade. To this day, if she sees my children who were never baptised she treats them like they're dfd too.

Then there were the jokes and laughter at our poverty striken state. Imagine how humiliating it is to drive up to the KH in a 79 rusty, loud, LTD and see the 'friends' snickering at your ride. How arrogant and stupid. Real love has manners and respects the dignity of others.

I feel so angry!

by Ellie in

.

not really much point to this except i want to vent some anger but yesterday my little brother came round to my house for lunch, he is studying and living at the house of my jw sister, i myself have never been baptized so am not disfellowshipped but they all (with the exception of my little brother) treat me as though i where.. anyway, my little brother came round for lunch and the next thing my jw mum phones my house, asks to speak to my brother and gives him a telling off for being at my house because i'm bad association, and tells him that he has to spend more time with the members of the congregation.. he tries to explain to her that the members of the congregation don't want to know him, that he is sick of making an effort to be friendly with them when they just ignore him.. anyway, it finished with her telling him he is to go straight back to my sisters house and not see me again.. he is 24 years of age, surely its up to him if he wants to come to my house!.

sorry, i know there is no point to this, but i just wanted to let off some steam!

Hi Ellie! I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I really think you should take the opportunity to write your mom a long letter about how important 'family' is to you and the community. Leave the JW stuff out and give her something to think about. Just a thought.

Kingdom Halls for sale!

by morning glory in

this is my first post.

a week back,gary buss started a post on the gb's claim to assembly halls and kh's in the new org.

book.i find this interesting because the kh in the city i reside in has been up for sale for the past year.

sweet tee

While the new Kingdom Hall plans are still fairly nice - the assembly hall plans actually look like big produce warehouses - you know, made out of that corrugated aluminum with a nice lobby is all - so that maintenance will be much easier and add-ons and mods will be modular in nature.
I expect you will see this slowly trickle across the country if it hasn't started already.

when I read this, "Babylon the Great has fallen came to mind".

Welcome to the board morning glory. Good thread. Maybe they need the money to cover lawsuits or something.

UN and Mat 24:15 and 16

by JGraves in

hey everyone, i'm living in st kitt's and recently got disfellowshipped and also asked to be withdrawn as a member of the watchtower bible and tract society.

as all witnesses know, this is a serious and often challenging thing to do, to stand up for your faith and belief that jehovahs people and organisation need to be clean.. i've made that stand, i've made it clear to the missionary elder here; "my concience will not allow me to associate with an organisation that was affiliated with a political organisation, or one that promotes govermental propoganda above jehovahs own word and message.

(the watchtower 91 issues sent to you via email)".

As evidenced from your posted e-mails JG, JW's have two sets of standards (if not several) and apply them haphazzardly to the rank & file while exempting those at the top who are making such serious decisions, from any accountability to those who look to them for spiritual guidance and direction. IMHO, you were absolutely correct in dissasociating yourself and stating the facts to the elders in your congo. I feel sorry for those who are still in the dark about the atrocious behaviour of the WTBTS. I wholeheartedly applaud those who are taking a stand for the "TRUTH" as opposed to the lies of the WTBTS and those who support and advocate their apostasy from the scriptures. They could learn from your example of honesty and humility if they weren't so totally blinded by their devotion to that organzation. What a tragedy.

BTW, congratulations on your upcoming nuptuals . I think it's wonderful!!!

Sorry to ask this but...................

....................how old is your underware.

i was sorting through my knicker drawer and there are some really old but comfortable knicknicks that i always choose, they are so old i cant tell you.. i have some really yummy underware that i keep for special occassions but never wear in the day.

as my "special " occasions are few and far between i never were them.. if i had an accident tomorrow i would be well embarrist.. so tell me what the oldest bra, knickers or underpants do you own .

sweet tee

Hey Vitty - I used to keep underwear forever too. But now, if the elastic is worn or they just look bad, I kick 'em to the curb pronto. Reason ... I now want my underclothes to look as good as the rest of my outfit (as close as possible anyway (I read too many women't mags ) Bra's don't last that long either unless you spend a fortune on them .

As for the accident scenario, like Bill Cosby said, it won't matter, cause if you see a car coming at you, first you say "it", then you "do" it; so you ain't gonna have clean drawers afterward anyhow.

JG - Thank you for taking the time to give us all a personal response . I only suggested you use non-web-apostate sites in case you were still wary of offending the org. Since you're obviously not, thank goodness, you're free to roam the world, and the world-wide-web in your search. If you havent read Crisis of Conscienc and In Search of Christian Freedom yet, they are real eye-openers to the inner workings and misdeeds of the apostate organization we know as "Jehovah's Witnesses"!

So glad you finally came aboard. Thanks for the scriptural references too. I'll share them with my Bible study friend.

Warm hugs

Tam

Welcome to the Forum!

I commend you for your dedication to God and truth. And especially for doing your own research and making sure for yourself whether the UN NGO issue were true. But sadly, that is only the very tip of the iceberg regarding our former 'mother' organization.

Don't stop there. Do some research on the history of the org., it's prophecies and doctrines. But be prepared, if the UN thing threw you for a loop, you'll likely need therapy after you find out the rest.

You don't have to use the WWW if you don't want to - go to the library. Find some 'original' bound volumes or the first 'money making reprinted editions' published back in the 80's. Don't stop in your search for truth JG. It will as Jesus said 'make you free'.
