LATEST NEWS: CANDANCE CONTI VERIDICT READY - WT LOST!!!!!!!

by Viva la Vida in

jw
friends

i'm not an expert but that is my understanding of this: .

opinion filed.. (signed published) the judgment against defendants on the negligence count is affirmed.

the judgment against watchtower on the cause of action for punitive damages is reversed with directions to enter judgment for watchtower on punitive damages.

JWdaughter

Isn't it a little late for "gag orders"? And I thought that those kinds of agreements were made illegal in CA now.??

they're baaaack!!!

A new low in public shaming (and groveling)

by Captain Schmideo2 in

jw
friends

a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.

the responses are so pathetic.

these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.

JWdaughter

They keep them pretty clean anyway. Why would they need more than nine to vacuum adn swish the toilets?

i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.

oh yeah????.

he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

JWdaughter

I am staying with my mom and she is so past giving a damn that she didn't even mention it to me. She came home late as I was coming home and told me she had just been to memorial.

I'm kind of surprised but not really. She knows she doesn't want to ever start a conversation with me because I will be better informed than she is (other than knowing when she watched everyone pass around food they weren't eating and wine they weren't drinking).

I guess I am the swine she no longer throws pearls at.

JW Son dead in German plane crash, no big deal!

by noolite in

jw
friends

seems to be a jw connection with the crash after all, but it wasn't the co-pilot as some had surmised.

the father of the only american male killed in the crash weighs in with a very mild assessment of the mass murderer, and doesn't seem overly concerned about his son, now deceased.. ---------------------------------------------------------------- .

"the parents of an american victim of the french alps plane crash said on 27 march they feel sadness for the parents of the co-pilot rather than feeling anger for the loss of their son.. robert tansill oliver, a jehovah's witness, lost his 37-year-old son robert oliver calvo in the germanwings plane crash.. "i don t feel anger.

JWdaughter

The rule of the world, in this case, is not the cause of the crash. One nutty human being going against EVERY rule of the world did this.

I did think his response was cold and dishonest. He sadly seemed very detached, but I will credit him with being in shock. No matter what I think of the WT, most JWs sincerely do love their family. The dishonest bit? He will take the blood money when it is offered, as will everyone else. Nothing to do with being a JW or not. Just human. Its the only justice he will get.

Why attack?

by newqatarjob in

as someone brought up as a jw and been an elder and been disfellowshipped (twice!!!

) i find it difficult to understand why ex jws have to attack the religion, yes religion, not cult or sect.

i am no longer disfellowshipped just do not want to practice anymore.

JWdaughter

Its a damaging religion. Maybe they all are, I don't know, but there seems no possibility of one being unscathed after being a part of it.

How do you like Qatar? I loved living there.

Rainham residents upset about plans for Jah Jireh care home for Jehovah’s Witnesses

by Simon in

(posted for andersonsinfo).

people are protesting against plans to build a large care home for jehovahs witnesses behind their houses.. homeowners living in the bloors lane area of rainham have lodged objections to proposals by the jah jireh charity, which specialises in spiritual and physical care for followers of the religion.. people living in neighbouring homes say it is too big and its three storeys will dwarf their properties.. .

what the care home will look like.

JWdaughter

Good news is that there will be very little traffic. There will be minimal staffing and there will be very few visitors. Whatever is wrong with the way the elderly are treated normally will be exacerbated by the fact that many of these people will shun their relatives and the rest will likely be too busy to bother visiting with them as they further the kingdom work.

Yet Another Putdown of Women! – KM March 2015

by SAHS in

jw

this weeks service meeting part (week starting march 23, 2015) in the our kingdom ministry under the heading meetings for field service that accomplish.

their purpose includes a little sub-article entitled when a sister must conduct.

the direct link is: http://www.jw.org/en/publications/kingdom-ministry/ click the little document download button under the one labeled km15 03-e us and then choose a format (pdf looks best)..

JWdaughter

The man who can't even show up on time is a more worthy leader than the woman who is already conducting the meeting? Really?

These people are so whacked.

Those of you that born in the Borg in the late 60;s and early 70's

by James Mixon in

was life that bad for you?

we are really sorry...

JWdaughter

My life wasn't so bad. Thank God my dad wasn't a JW and lent some balance to my life. Mom is a true beleiver. Birthdays and Christmas ended (she took awhile to commit, but my whole life was spent mired in it) when I was 8 or so. I had regular nightmares and daymares about persecution. Fortunately, while there were a few asses in the cong, most of the folks were good hearted and well meaning. My parents loved each other and our relatives put up with my mom's weird religious inclinations pretty graciously. School was hard-being different and feeling obligated to underline it (my own worst enemy at times, trying to PROVE (to myself) that I had the truth. Then when I realized it wasn't the truth, I felt obligated (by the teachings drummed into me my whole life about being in the truth) to say what I really thought. Placed me in an awkward position at 15.

Yeah, I did see the whole 1975 thing and NO, it wasn't a made up drama by mad ex-JWs. I was there.

There are still JW's calling the masturbation video as fake and apostate propaganda

by EndofMysteries in

10 hours ago, " another malicious propaganda against jehova's witnesse!!".

"he is not a jehova's witness!!

!thois a big lie against jehova's witnesses!

JWdaughter

Any JW who thinks it is a fake planted by anti JWs (it is no longer on the website) should look and see the same ASL signer on the "whole association of brothers" ASL video that is still online. The download from JW.org is pretty hard to deny though.
