  jehober "always'" protects his 'loyal servants'?

  by eyeuse2badub in

  last week i watched the docuseries on prime video called “the last narc”.

  it was mainly about the notorious mexican guadalajara drug cartel during the 70’s and 80’s and a united states dea agent, kiki camerena, who was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in guadalajara, mexico in 1984. this is a very well-known and haunting event here in the usa.. however, there was also about a 7-8 minute segment during the docuseries that graphically detailed the kidnapping, rape, and murder of 4 jehovah’s witnesses that also took place just days before kiki camerena was taken.

  the jw’s were 2 married couples, us citizens, dennis and rose carlson, ben and pat mascarenas.

  EYEUSE2BADUB:

  That sad story about the JW killed because some other brother was talking with a Muslim woman was not publicized..I only heard about it on here.

  In those countries somebody would get the death penalty for proselytizing...let alone talking to a woman! So, it stands to reason that if these people are in the US the response would be hostile.

  The point of all this is that the Witness work is dangerous - especially to the rank & file JWs who are on the front lines as it were. Going out and talking to the public about anything is dangerous - let alone the topic of religion and to people with hostile opposing viewpoints!!..Meanwhile, I didn’t want to be at somebody’s door in the first place and not totally convinced about what I was even supposed to be preaching.

  When I found out about TTATT I was absolutely overjoyed to stop the wasted work in any public ministry!.. But, then again, in my case, I was a low hour publisher anyway..No regrets. So very glad I never spent more hours on this waste of time and resources which was never very safe in the first place!!!

  so my 88 mil died and was the epitome of a faithful sister.

  my wife and her sister are members of the congregation for 40+ years.

  to be fair it was short notice but we had the showing and visitation and only about 12 out of 120 of the congregation showed up and only 1 elder!

  NOWWHAT?:

  Yeah, Thank God for THAT bit of good news.

  But, as for few people showing up, I think it all depends on whether the deceased was in a popular clique. Sadly, in the JW religion there is not an equal concern about people there..which is yet another reason I don’t miss that place!

  But, again, I am sorry for your loss.

  You Know You're A Jehovah's Witness When...

  by pale.emperor in

  1. social
  2. humour

  you know you're a jehovah's witness when.... being offered a scholarship to a good university is considered a bad thing.. when you see a house you like you claim it for after your god kills the owner.. you recieve spiritual guidence from a bus driver and a window washer.. you're engaged to a person you only met 3 months ago.. your widowed mother is marrying a man she met at the convention who she's known for 2 weeks.. there's jehovah's witnesses meeting in your house on a saturday morning to talk about going out knocking on doors on a saturday morning.. a lie in on a weekend happens about twice a year.. you dont talk to your own parents/children because they have a different opinion about a magazine.. you're not quite sure what you're supposed to believe anymore.. when someone criticizes your a magazine you feel like you're being attacked.. your 3yo son owns a suit.. if you're not married by the age of 30 you're considered to be gay or something wrong with you.. (for girls) if you havent married the first or second person you've dated you're considered promiscuous or something wrong with you.. you get your scientific knowledge from a magazine written by people who've never been to college and have never actually read the source they claim to be citing.. you get excited if there's a storm or natural disaster.. you get excited when there's a terrorist attack.. you get excited when there's a pandemic.. your version of tinder is the lunch break at a convention.. your girlfriend dresses like her grandmother.. your grandparents, despite being in the same religion as you, died believing totally a different belief system..

  PALE.EMPEROR:

  That list is so funny but also true.

  The one I’m laughing about is if a JW girl/woman won’t marry any of the first few guys she’s dated. It is assumed something is ‘wrong’ with her. I remember being told I was ‘too picky’.

  I was discussing this with another sister once. She said the men in the religion have ‘pick of the litter’ because there were so many women..but sisters are expected to accept ‘ugly goons’ because there are so few men and the decent ones are already taken.

  EYEUSE2BADUB & BILL COVERT:

  I remember back when those JWs were murdered and I remember saying to some elder that something like that supposedly should ‘not happen’.

  The elder just gave me the shoulder shrug as if to say who knows. I was bothered by this because presumably the angels should have been protecting the JWs in their work! Guess not.

  Will everybody NOT derail the thread and turn it to yet another goddamn POLITICAL discussion - no matter what side you are on.

  There are enough political threads as it is.

  This is terribly rude...Let us keep the topic on what DARKKNIGHT started, namely the article about the drawing of the lady in the magazine with no food/empty refrigerator!!!

  DARKKNIGHT757:

  While I don’t have a picture of that article, I do remember the thread. I am pretty sure it was within the last two years (?).. I was outraged at the artwork depicting a needy elderly JW woman looking in her empty refrigerator but YET in another picture putting money in the contribution box!!!

  These artwork pictures in the literature are hints and suggestions..as we all know. But, I would wager that the minds who thought this one up never missed a meal.

  In real life, this lady should be at her neighborhood food bank getting provisions!

  Worldwide preaching campaign targeting government officials.

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does anybody know what this message will contain ?

  is it designed to provoke a response that will bring persecution on the religion ?

  or is it just going to be some meaningless weak campaign to get the rank and file all excited about it and achieving nothing.. or is it going to suggest to the government officials that this mob could very well be the next jonestown /wacol incident and we need to act now.

  Somehow I don’t see a Jonestown scenario happening either.

  MINIMUS:

  I was always puzzled as well by the JW religion thinking that the governments of the world were supposed to be terrified of their message. They must see themselves as the modern day equivalent of Moses going to see Pharaoh.

  Oops! I thought this was referring to the boxes of produce that were given out to people.

  Didn’t realize it was referring to something else. I suppose they might call it ‘food’ of a sort.

  three teens were convicted of stealing and the punishment is cut off their fingers.

  some past punishments were finger and foot removal.

  pretty barbaric but i bet they don’t have too many looters there..

  MINIMUS:

  The reason that I would be against this barbarity is because it would render a person helpless who cannot work. You would have yet more people around begging!

  I would make a thief do community service to make up something to society.

  HOWTHEBIBLEWASCREATED:

  I agree with your description of what the JW religion is headed for and turning into right now as we speak: ..an online religion with maybe some assemblies a couple of times a year. Whether these will be at a rented facility or something they own who knows?

  Maybe some still-ins are aware of this but I wonder if some are thinking things are going back to the good old-fashioned days?.. I tend to doubt it.
