the wt study this week made me feel sick!
it is one of the most blatantly un-scriptural articles i have ever seen!
in these paragraphs we see how we should treat our neighbor ... so, what examples do we have of loving our neighbors?
I'm an inactive jw. My name isn't on the bible study group list. I don't turn in time. I'm and atheist and like to sin.
Nevertheless. I am always inviting the "brothers and sisters" over to my house and treating them with great love. How do you like that! In fact as a co told me once. I was known for hospitality to the Bros and sisters and set the example. Ironic that I also think the religion bunk. Maybe that has something to do with it

mrs phizzy ran into a jw lady from a neighbouring congo who has known us since we were teenagers, before we married, sometime in the pleistocene era lol.. during the conversation said lady asked if mrs phizzy was going to the r.c, to which mrs phizzy replied, "oh you haven't heard, we no longer go to meetings".. the jw lady then came back with the question in the thread title, which mrs phizzy handled well.. the point of this is though, what a god-awful, stupid, cult-minded question to ask !.
did she think we woke up one morning and thought "we don't love god anymore" ??
would that happen to anyone ?.
why not, the organization is never wrong, therefore if you are part of the organization.
you are never wrong.
if there's a problem it's satan, not the brothers.
i just found this website and im so glad because for the first time in a long time i dont feel alone...i am a born in and in the last two years have been struggling because i thought that i was the problem and i was the reason for not feeling any love from and for the other pubs .i want to leave the org but have no idea how to tell my mother(who is a faithful jw).
has anyone else heard this said more frequently lately?
"even if it's true..." i have seen it said on here a few times in quotes from in family or friends responding the negative things about the org.. i heard it tuesday night again.
in a pioneer sisters comment.
Wow.
The the bible fairy tale book has stories if both people standing up against corrupt leadership, and also about not "murmuring"
The witnesses cast a wide net over this complaining clause.

I heard it Tuesday night again. In a pioneer sisters comment. I think she got tongue tied a bit and it came out sounding really bad. But this I what she was in affect saying "if we hear negative things about the organization, even if they are true, we need to not listen" I shit you not. I don't think she meant it to sound like that but it did almost word for word.
My observation is this. With the org on the ropes, the Internet and bad press, it's becoming more and more difficult to write negative things off as "apostate lies". Is this a next step in theit defense system? Just outright ignore true things about us that are good? I know they have always been that way but this is way more overt. It seems desperate and hearing it is bound to rouse some who will be waking up.
Thoughts?
earlier this week i bumped into a couple of jws who i recognised from the cult cart.
a few months ago i had a long conversation with him one of them and found him to be quite friendly.
he is new to the area in the years since i left.. this time he was very defensive and said he wasn't allowed to talk to me.
