Jehovah Witnesses, Elders or Elderettes, Which Sex Was More Wicked In Your Experience?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

i would have to say i've seen more wicked elder-ettes and jw women than men, the women can hold grudges forever and they can't forgive even the smallest sin their fellow jw commit-ed against them!.

i wish i could share the details about my aunt and how evil she is and why all her brothers and sisters hate her with a vengeance.

the kingdom hall she attend's is the world's worst kingdom hall, it's created a poison that's killed off dozens of good witnesses who left the organization because the elder-ettes and their kiss-ass coat-tail riding followers treated everyone outside of their clique like shit!

I say the Elderettes might do a better job than most Elders because they probably got a higher education on average!

Jake when Smart Money or Old Money is involved usually lawyers on each side draw up the financial arrangements instead of Watchtower "Trust me and sign this!" deeds. The family's parents invented some gadget we all use daily and many more, Watchtower would have liked the parents to hand that lump some over unconditionally without the ability to call that money but the mother was shrewd to have her lawyers make sure the kids could get that money when they needed after a grace period with the Watchtower. They held that money for over a decade, too bad all that interest free cash got taken away because their run-away PO and his wife had a grudge against them. It's sad we all don't have the same economic value(spiritual value) in the eyes of the Organization, money talks with Watchtower and Publishers without can walk out without being heard from again!

I wish I could get all the nitty-gritty details on this because we could put yoke in the Organization's eye by showing how it's all about the Green Handshakes and Mattresses, not intrinsic value of each Publisher! I enjoyed your insights on this topic, it sounds like you know all to well how "get together", gatherings can be used to punish families or single people that did not do anything wrong or refused to become embroiled in some nasty intra-family hate feud!

I never meant this to be a male vs female situation, all I wanted to know was which sex in your Kingdom Hall seemed to display qualities not so befitting of a Christian. When it comes to Judicial Comittites men are suppose to think for themselves but some men would share intimate details with their wives and get their wife's input on how to execute directions from the Slave.

Social Circles in my area, actually I saw that men could stomp on the invites of people or families they considered weak where the women actually wanted the families to show off their wealth or JW Prestige which is another odd piece of data about the Kingdom Hall I use to attend. There were two Elders in a verbal fight and soon the Kingdom Hall divided up in to three fragments, those on Elder A's side, those on Elder B's side and those who wanted to know "Why in the Hell the Kingdom Hall is fragmented and behaving like Junior High School kids?'. Social Circles in other Kingdom Halls were controlled by the women because more often than not, the bad JW men were working one or two jobs to keep their family afloat while their nasty wives were working part-time and had more time to help design the gathering and plot who would not be invited out of sheer spite. Please note the majority of JWs are not bad (men and women), a few can really bring out qualities they escaped from their churches or dysfunctional families to the promised family the Watchtower's publications said was waiting for "honest heart'ed ones seeking a real family Jesus spoke about" only to learn this was another lie!

The Circuit Overseer called several families because the entire Kingdom Hall was invited to a function except three families and boy where they pissed off. The root of the problem was the families not invited would not get involved with the Kingdom Hall politics, they refused to take sides and ended up not getting invited while those who voted for Pedro and Cathy all got invited, that was contrived by two elderettes confirmed by the CO who investigated this because one of the uninvited families asked for their "Conditional Donation" back, they called the Paper and the Watchtower wanted to know why!

The moral of the story is, take a side in Kingdom Hall Politics unless you loaned the Watchtower almost Eight Figures because they will get to the root of who or what was behind the evil in your Kingdom Hall. I wonder if that Elder knew that family had "family money" sitting in the Watchtower's Safety deposit box? He still got his money back is what I heard and the Watchtower was very upset losing all that capital over petty hateful squabbles!

How Come the Watchtower does not admit "We Don't Know Anything About Bible Prophecy" and come clean?

by PokerPlayerPhil in

so many of us have been caught up in the negative effects this religion placed over our lives and those who we love very much.

i am the first one to tell my kids "i don't know s&^^ about this or that subject", if the watchtower is truly our brother or spiritual mother why don't they tell us the following questions we all have asked them?.

1. we screwed up about 1914 and "life is short, go live your life to the fullest while maintaining justice and morality, don't hurt your fellow man by making his life screwed up!.

PokerPlayerPhil

Finkel, what value is the Watchtower providing for any of their sheep? The Publishing Company's continuity is more important than the Publishers right to a happy life not filled with chronic anxiety and panic provided by all the False Alarms the Watchtower sends!

talespin, each person's experience in the Cult will differ, others will have more men being the most evil while in my case our Kingdom Hall had a very unusual number of sisters that were mean and spiteful and filled with bitterness, no Serpents about it!

Jake, remember those shirts popular in the 1980s saying "INSTANT ASSHOLE JUST ADD WHISKY"? Regarding many JWs most good people don't morph, it's those who feel the World treated them like dirt and now their going to lord it over their fellow witnesses who are desperately looking at them for guidance! The Bible and everything it stands for contradicts what these POs or COBEs do, the Bible has nothing to do with their actions.

Moses spent forty years developing something God would use, he never wanted the power or glory. Moses as used and because a intercessor between God and Israel, he really loved his people so much. Looking at the Governing Body is it any wonder Elders act like they do, going beyond what is written? I don't understand how anyone who can read the Bible come's away with a idea that "arrogance", "pride over others" and tyranny is needed to guide his fellow friends or flock! Why do they have some unnatural sense of self-esteem bought at the cost of their fellow publishers? That old shirt, "Instant Asshole just add Liquor" applies unfortunately with many JW Elders and Elderettes!

INSTANT ASSHOLE JUST ADD TITLES!

They only care about themselves......

i've watched the reaction to the nepal disaster for the first time with eyes opened.

lots of comments about praying for the brothers and sisters affected.

the official release on the website references only the sister and her two children that died, along with the impact on the brothers there.

PokerPlayerPhil

I think those who worked at Bethel would know(have deeper insights since they were at center of this spider) about this subject because on a local level we can tell you that all we saw was "Nothing when a natural disaster hit our area!"

Katrina I heard they only helped the Witnesses and asked the Witness to give back any insurance or FEMA monies and some had to sign a piece of paper promising to return any assets the Government gave them!

When one of the big Hurricanes hit Florida I heard about Witnesses leaving from the West to make lots of money on that disaster. No mention of helping, all the Witnesses that followed one group got screwed over and had to steal from this JW Elder Contractor because they refused to pay his employees!

Were the men in positions more wicked than the women in positions and their tag-along friends who display equal opportunity hated?

Which sex stumbled more people out of the Organization if you really ponder that thought, did you see evil from both husband and wife or more from one of the sexes?

Ding, they could still get donations if they were honest and said "Let's all work together to seek greater understanding around us!" or is that too dangerous for a group of men who wielded semi-absolute power in the Organization and their not will to let go of the intoxication that power generates among people?

I read posts here that blow beyond what the best Watchtower writers wrote in their magazines, perhaps that's because their either dead or stopped writing for the Watchtower?

Field Service or the Preaching Work we who were aware of from the 20th Century is now dead! Preaching will be done over the Internet because people are too busy to stop and listen to the nutty JW standing at the corner with his Magazine Cart. Cart Witnesses is useless, if you were to add up the hours (real hours, not fake ones) they put in standing around doing nothing and applied it to helping the World in meaningful endeavors, their numbers would grow quicker!

Hatred among Jehovah's Witnesses is at a All-Time High as each Witness weighs the opportunity cost of engaging with his fellow Witnesses and get's afraid they might be walking in to a trap. Witnesses are not helping each other like they did when we were kids, witnesses are paranoid people want money or their time from them. Pedophiles are defended, families hate each other, what's left with the Organization other than obsolescence?

Do You Think Humanity Will Ever Be Completely Free From Religion?

by InjusticeSystem in

i realize that many here still have a form of spirituality or faith, and i mean no disrespect to those individuals.

i suppose i am posting this question to those, like myself, who have come to the conclusion that religion in general is a major hindrance to the progress of our species and needs to be put aside so that we can advance to our full potential.

so my question is, do you think this will ever actually happen, and how do you think we can get there?

PokerPlayerPhil

No, unless you create artificial life or learn how to deprogram that part of our dna! If we are the product of aliens from another planet does that make them God or gods like the movie where the architects were going to blot out life by using the creature from "Alien" to do that?

What if there is a message in our DNA from the Being or Beings that oversaw the creation and development process on Earth until they might have moved on to another region or Dimension? Richard Dawkins has stated he can't say 100% "There is no God or Creators because they would imply he has "all knowledge" of everything to make that statement. All the evil and hate spreading around the World does not eliminate the need for a Creator or Creation process, as Dr. Dawkins said "we don't have absolute knowledge to totally eliminate God or gods from the human process".

If DNA has a code or message from God, your going to have to create something new to remove that which make's us try to look beyond our own self and make sense of Eternity or crave knowledge of understanding that.
