i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.

husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.

they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.

Yes, get a lawyer. Sometimes the "agreement" will require you stay in the same area. Many times, you have to get permission from the court (and your spouse) to move. Moving changes the visitation agreement and is set to harm the kids becuase you are taking them away from their own father. If it was "every other weekend", it might go to "every Summer with dad." So, to do this, you likely need a great excuse to move, job, health, etc. would be better.

Jobs are best in Texas, then in Florida, and then California. Look at Houston.

Earth rotates the wrong way. ( no one even knew that )

by kairos in

i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .

two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.

how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .

Woe to the Women of the Watchtower

the trouble with women is that they have a breaking point.

it comes when their needs are not being met or they are not respected.

and, that is a beauty too.

My Parents have gone FULL CULT MODE! Having a job is SATANIC!

by BU2B in

jw
friends

to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

skeeter1

Yep, my family did it to me. Borrowed thousands, of which I didn't make them repay. When one finally went bust, I refused. Then, I was told that I was materialistic and worldly for not giving. Meanwhile, they didn't know/realize the thousands I gave in the past to other JW(ish) family members that I felt were truly in need. I told them, and then they tried to shut me down for other things, "You'd be nothing without your spouse . . . " And, that's when I cut them off from me.

My suggestion for you is to play poor. Talk of impending layoffs. Offer them only $100 to cover food & gas for the week, but you can't give anymore. You are going to have to live a double life.

It would be easier to give if they were truly in need (not able to work). But, those who are offered jobs and don't take them, or those with money that choose to spend unwisely, can't be helped

I haven't seen any carts. I've ran into a JW at the convention. It was in a sports complex where we play hockey and skate. We were in another part for skating, and they came into the recreation part to buy coffee. I struck up a conversation wtih them, and told them I was a JW, left, and the reasons why. They were happy, then speechless. Another JW & I struck up a conversation. He used to be a hockey goalie. But, hadn't done it since becoming a JW. I said JWs are in sports, look at the William's sisters. I played JW dumb, and encouraged him to try hockey on the rec league that meets on Sunday evenings, goalies play free becuase they are in demand.

Zone Visit feedback, from ones still in??

by Crazyguy in

just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

What? A "helper" is like another person who is a secretary, butler, maid, etc. They are "Members" of the "Governing Body". Someone knew to make it look like Oz is still hiding behind his curtain. Becuase if the rank & file figure out that these guys are the bafoons running the show, Oz is going to fall.

Were the Governing Body members who spoke wearing gold rings and did they have 'manicured' hands/nails?

"Opinions about dress and grooming..."

by leaving_quietly in

from the july 15, 2014 watchtower, page 15. par.

"opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy.

accordingly, if no scriptural principle is being violated, jehovah's people wisely abstain from arguing over such matters, "for a slave of the lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle [tactful, ftn.

Jesus wore sandals, not socks. And, especially not crazy colored socks that would attract demons.

Can someone confirm this:

The JWs were told to not record the talk or take notes?
