I was invited to the Kingdom Hall and nobody greeted after five meetings

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

"i felt like it was "bait and switch", no "loving brotherhood :(?".

interesting question posted on yahoo, the problem is witnesses are not telling the truth.

how many times did you experience people not saying anything after some prolonged illness or separation from the kingdom hall for work reasons?

When I was a kid I missed meetings for months because I was having trouble reconciling some of the Watchtower's teachings, if only I followed through it would have shaved off thirty years of my wife from the Cult. The BS Conductor asked me "Have you and your wife moved to another Kingdom Hall because you've missed lots of meetings!" Another thoughtless and now almost dead JW said "Hey, it's good to see you because we thought you were dead!", replied with "If you thought I was dead, how come you never checked up on me?" JWs have a long history of ignoring people and families they judge as "fringe witnesses", they are not happy when people who miss Meetings move in to their Kingdom Hall because it lowers their average hours.. Everyone has seen JWs and their lack of love in action, everyone has their own story of trying to talk with some witnesses for decades only to get ignored.

People reminiscence of "The Good Old Days" but I don't remember them, do you? Can you recall times when JWs were so great you never doubted we lived in a Spiritual Paradise and everyone looked out after your personal interest instead of trying to shake you down for money or sell you vitamins or Amway products? Does anyone remember attending the perfect congregation and what was it like? The "Grass is Greener Kingdom Hall" was always a issue here, people jumped from Kingdom Hall to Kingdom Hall once the new wore off and they felt they were not getting enough attention.

i have enjoyed you posts over the last few years, their often the highlight of my visit to JWN. We all seem to have had some run-ins with the Self-Appointed JW LawMen! I heard the lie by someone at Bethel who is one of the assistants to the GB and works in Legal that Ray Franz was pulled off his part in Atlanta because he had a psychotic break, JWs lie. All anyone has to do is read the writings of this man and they will be like the political followers of Herod, the Sanhedrin security who said "This man speak's nothing bad!" only to have religious leaders say "You too are not deceived, this accursed Crowd is fooled!"

"Then, I did the unthinkable! I read Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz. I am old enough to remember the great Bethel "apostate" purging of circa 1980. Raymond Franz was the devil incarnate, a rebel against god and his chosen organization! Or so I had always believed. I had resolved that if Crisis of Conscience was nothing more than the rantings of an embittered, disenfranchised JW with an ax to grind, I would discard the book and move on. What I found was quite the contrary . Ray's arguments are flawless, his insider-view of the Organization devastating to WT theology, and his demeanor beyond criticism. After completing his book, I concluded that, if the WT organization was headed by men like Ray Franz, it would truly be a Christ-like arrangement, not the Pharisaical monopoly it is now, hijacked by self-aggrandizing depots and tyrannical spiritual thugs promoting a secular agenda masquerading as religion. I have since read In Search of Christian Freedom, equally as good as CoC

Feb Kingdom Ministry 2015: Irate Householders - why so angry?

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

feb kingdom ministry 2015, irate householders, "we don't apologize for our work", "did they hear rumors about jws"?

why so angry?

blood or disfellowshipping?.

Bill that BS made it's way everywhere, our Territory was once worked every eight weeks but "due to incompetent and inefficient witnessing" as hinted by our past three circuit overseers, the last one I listened to complained "how come you once covered your territory so zealously, the Brothers have lovingly divided your territory twice and your not able to work it in a Year?"

We got tired of the same old crap, peddling magazines nobody wants to read, is it any wonder our territory is not worked "like we use to?"

However, the party line was that "you don't work a territory to death, rather, you work it to life." (I fool you not!). Consequently, whatever conciliatory talk / explanations were suggestedby the WTS, the real issue was never ever mentioned. (Not that your typical Logan City resident - in his singlet and thongs,with a beer belly spilling over the top of his stubbie shorts - was ever very amenable to reasoning anyway, in this or any other matter).

Bill.

Balter, when I downloaded this file it said "Adobe downloading to "TrailerparkPioneer's computer", if your computer has your name or anyone else who uses it, the downloads head to those files. I will snippet this for you so you can see what I am talking about Not trying to create a conspiracy, it's a fact your Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 8 puts your name down on those documents when you register.

Who is replying to the Pro JW side on yahoo, are they counting it as time and was the hillbilly the only one who was honest enough to admit JWs have problems showing concern for new people walking in their doors? Why are they inviting people over to their Kingdom Halls if they can't service the correctly?

The witnesses on Yahoo are taking after their leaders, it's not a lie unless someone video tapes JWs are not friendly.

Good Netflix shows to watch

by Simon in

in the long winter nights you need some good tv shows to watch while you wait for the eternity between seasons of game of thrones.. we've watched marco polo (pretty good) and have just started watching orange is the new black which is not at all what i imagined (didn't know it was funny!).

house of cards is on the list too as we've heard good things about that.. anyone have any others that are worth seeing?.

Trailer Park Pioneer

Marco Polo is good, rent "Cold in July" with Micheal C Scott it will throw you in a weird direction. The end of Dexter sucked, I read where he helped some fan propose to his wife in Colorado at the Indy Festival.

The show "The 100" was recently added to Netflix, can't say it did anything for me.

Is the Watchtower Shifting All Financial and Legal Risk to Local Elders, are they 100% liable for Negligence?

by Trailer Park Pioneer in

what is the watchtower organization leaving behind for all the kingdom halls after their done siphoning them dry?

who is going to pay for a lawsuit or damages when some incompetent elders or three are busted for something very bad?

will the watchtower help or leave them alone for the sharks to shred to pieces?

Who is going to pay for a lawsuit or damages when some incompetent elders or three are busted for something very bad? Will the Watchtower help or leave them alone for the Sharks to shred to pieces?

From all the letters they wrote, is the Watchtower using the methods employed by the Ultra-Rich who try to protect their kids Trust Funds from lawsuits? Watchtower's job is to protect their local assets but who is going to protect Bob-the-Elder, he's the Elder who never saved a penny and lives next door to me in the Trailer Park. He get's up at 3:00 AM delivering newspapers for $250 a month, who is going to help my Trailer Park buddy?

Can a plaintiff go after all the possessions and business assets owned by the guilty elders involved in gross incompetence now or will the Watchtower step in and protect them? From the Meno Park story, all I can see is they are trying to put lots of Ziplock baggies and Tupperware around the Kingdom Hall properties while putting a "OPEN SEASON NOW!" on the Elders backs! Are they trying to put all legal burdens on the elders now?

Even as a Elder some assholes played that game of dangling the Kingdom Ministries for people who had work outside the United States.

I had to grab Kingdom Ministry's out of some of the nasty Elders bags, my friend too(He's out of the Organization, almost beat the hell out of his judicial committee and they avoided his house because he said he would find them in Field Service and "F' them up if they tried anything funny, he was never removed because he had ties to the White Arian nation(I swear i saw him fight two big guys and kick their ass because of unfinished business!. How many people got screwed over with those forms! Remember the story of the householder chasing the little witness around the corner to fight him only to find a Samoan looking JW with a book bag? Think of Reno 911 Brother Thor, now you have my photo in your mind!

How many years did you eagerly wait the Anointed members of Christ to die so the End would draw near? That's what I was taught, we were taught the Anointed would be all but extinct before Jesus Christ came back. The rate of growth is showing we are heading the opposite direction, the End is actually moving further out in time because more people are taking part of the lord's Evening Meal. That's how I was taught, were you taught a different meaning of why the Anointed would shrink before Jehovah's Day of Anger?
