Paedo cases in the org and pioneers.......

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

have you ever sat at a convention or assembly and heard an experience from the platform about how some asswipe pioneer received a bundle of cash for their car repairs, "just in time to keep going in the pioneer service".

or some other form of material advantage, credited to god as the provider.. now, let's for a wee minute, assume that these were actual blessings from god.

he actually took action.

ICBehindtheCurtain

This is so incredibly annoying.....I hear it all the time from my pioneer mom, she absolutely believes this, every time she is hard up for money it is us apostates (all of my brothers and sisters) that help her out.....but it is Jehoover that gets the credit!!! Like someone else said, they use the excuse that "Jehoover moved that person to help them"...give me a freakin break!!! Sooooooo.......now whenever she want's to go on vacation we don't contribute for that....let Jehoover move some of the brothers at the Kingdom Hell to help her....we always help for necessary things, but luxuries....hell no, if she wants those, she should get a simple job helping the old people in her building, which she has already been offered but refused becauuuusssse........"it would interfere with her pioneering hours", the whole situation just aggravates the hell out of me!!!!

when they ask Where will you go...........the answer

by purplesofa in

jw
friends

yep, everyone i have talked to -----first question they ask----but where will you go?

i tell them anywhere as long as it is away from the clutches of the wt.

the house is on fire!

ICBehindtheCurtain

I was asked that question also and I said, I don't need to go anywhere, I've finally found myself, I am finally free to think, act, believe as I want, and I've never been happier! I found God, or as I prefer to say "The Creator" just looking at a beautiful sunset, at nature, at myself, I am greatful to whoever put this place together. But nowadays I don't feel a need to worship anyone since this act was started by humans and is spoken of in a book I no longer believe in. We teach our kids to be tolerant and respectful of others ideas and to show love whenever possible, and we teach them to be greatful for each day we are here. My children are very happy and have many freinds now, leaving was the best thing we ever did!!!!

Love,

NAME JUST ONE thing....ONE THING...revealed by God....

by Terry in

somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.

but, why are you still buying?

when will you ever learn that this is a scam among many scams.

ICBehindtheCurtain

Terry thank you for this post, it really is very interesting! I am with Mary, in that I do believe in a Creative force of some sort, which started everything, put it in motion. I do not however believe in the bible god, after researching the bible with an open mind, the once cherished notion of inerrancy and revelation just falls apart. I don't believe that there is a almighty God who is directing and monitoring all activities here on earth (look at the crap that goes on), or that he needs our worship, I think we are here to live this experience and make with it what we will, I try to focus on the positive as much as I can, enjoy this experience and leave this earth in a better way than I found it. There are things we will never know, but I choose to use my own reasoning to dictate what I will and will not believe, but that's just me!

WHY the JWD SITE IS VITALLY IMPORTANT!!

by Seeker4 in

jw
friends

this discussion board is vitally important now, and will become even more important in the coming years.

lots of reasons, but here's just one from my own experience: .

for many years i was a super zealous, firm believing jw.

ICBehindtheCurtain

I also agree that this site is extremely important!! When I started opening my eyes, I first found e-watchman's site, it helped me to begin questioning the Borg...but I didn't stop there, before long I found JWD and although it was scary in the beginning, I kept lurking and reading and researching....and eventually the blinders came off! I don't post as much anymore but always check up on what's going on here and have referred quite a few that are now lurkers and some members on here....soooo it really is a valuable tool to help these poor people open their eyes and join the real world, THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!

Love,

This is great!!! thanks for posting it Dansk. Imagine how many Billions will be lost by the big pharmaceutical companies if stem cells solve these health issues for people, no more organ rejection drugs, diabetes drugs and all the organizations that exist around all the major diseases like Cancer, heart disease etc. that's the reason Bush and his cronies don't want stem cell research!

Assembly Hall shakedown - Columbia SC

by sir82 in

jw
friends

from someone who attended:.

there was a big elders meeting in columbia sc on saturday june 9.. around 240 congregations, 2000+ elders.. the society wants to build a brand new assembly hall in columbia, sc, to handle the huge influx of jws moving to the us southeast from up north.. they expect to have it done in 34 months (finished by april 2010).

total cost estimated to be approximately $8 - 9 million.. they want to have the whole thing paid for by the time the building is done - no long term loans.. they "strongly suggested" that each of the 240 congregations commit to supporting "their share" of the expense.

ICBehindtheCurtain

The organization has also agreed to meet here in 2008 and 2009, he said, and tentatively agreed to hold their sessions here from 2010 through 2013. The number of sessions may swell to four annually, Purvis quoted congregation officials as saying.

Good one Danny, I guess the BS about the end being so close is just BS, since they have this place booked till 2013, what, weren't they saying last year with all the different campaigns that the end was imminent and now this? I think I will email this to some people. Thanks for sharing Danny!
