  i need some support and advice with my situation and hope you don't mind me going on a bit because i feel wretched!

  i hurt so much with my jw family relationship and find it so frustrating that whatever i do or say doesn't make any difference.. my son and wife had a little girl 9 months ago, my first and only grand child and i love her so much.

  when she was born my hubby and i helped them a lot wiith buying all the expensive things she needed, as my son hadn't a well paying job as being a die hard jw he believes in the "education and career isn't what you should be doing propaganda" put out buy the wt.

  Maddie - maybe she (DIL) feels insecure and jealous as she hasn't a close relationship with her parents, and so by isolating your son they are 'in the same boat' and reliant only on each other.

  Regarding 'he believes in the "education and career isn't what you should be doing propaganda" put out buy the WT' - my head wants to say, 'get the WT to support/subsidise his salary then'. I've found that, one way or another, most of US (me included) are still having to compensate (wrong word, but I know what I mean, lol) the WT (whether time or money) just to maintain relationships with JW relatives.

  NEW TRACT CAMPAIGN PLANNED....

  by sir82 in

  1. jw

  ....for october 20 - november 16.. there is a new tract to be introduced, with the title "do you want to know the truth?".

  it is not a "kingdom news" campaign - after the campaign, this tract will join the "regular rotation" of tracts to be used in the field misery.. it is designed to replace the "do you want to know more about the bible" tract - the goal is to use it to start "bible" studies.. the goal is to cover all of the congregation's territory in 4 weeks, similar to other campaigns in the past.

  unlike other campaigns, though, the congregations can order as many as they would like - they are not limited to 50 per publisher.

  No guilt for me anymore on missing this - and THAT'S progress!! What I used to regard as the most sacred night of year, I now regard as a joke (not the 'Remembrance', but the Watchtower's bastardisation of it)

  Surge in "anointed ones"

  by dozy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the nightmare scenario is slowly unravelling for the wts.. since 1935 , wtbts policy was to shut up the kingdom of heaven by implying that any new anointed was at best misled & at worst a fake.

  franzs replacement theory did little to help matters.

  this suppressed many jws from becoming anointed.. recent wt articles & changes in thought has resulted in a surge in jws claiming this status.

  So 'Jehovah' not only made the mistake of closing the 'door' in 1935, but has now changed HIS mind and is recruiting more of the mentally challenged from amongst the Watchtower Org...sheesh.

  I found it odd that Murat's 'girlfriend' was publicised as a JW - surely the Elders in her Congregation would have something to say about that?
