  I regret my disassociation.

  by Zoos in

  2. friends

  if i knew then what i know now, i might never have disassociated myself.

  i realize all i can do is speculate on what could have been.

  however, when i consider the number of people i might have been able to help by dropping little thought-provoking seeds, i really regret having jumped to the decision to disassociate so quickly.. ive read the accounts of several people on this forum telling of how stressful it is to be in the position that i just described above.

  My Story

  by Brother Mike in

  my story is long, heart stopping, tragic, and puzzling.

  since i posted what was said to be my last post, i received a private message which sparked my attention about the watchtower.

  immediately i did research, and have found not only proof from outside sources, but the watchtower openly admitting it.

  January 2014 Watchtower Study "Why God Organization Kicked Older Bethelites Out Of Bethel To Save Money(Avoid Bankruptcy)"

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  paragraph 1 & 2:.

  we all enjoy life even now due to jehovah's tender mercies, for if it were not for his slowness to anger all humans would not have lived into this 21st century of out common era.

  even those crippled severly cling to life thus demonstrating the will of humans to live even in adversity.

  With a little tweaking, this could be a genuine Watchtower article.

  it says on page 1 par.

  3 in the q&a item.

  "where people belong to a non-christian religion, or to no religion at all, it may be better to mention the bible on a return visit, rather than at the outset.

  All religions and organizations with something to sell have a vested interest in prioritizing what they tell you in the first instance.

  But JWs pride themselves on being different from all other religions.

  The stage version may have come first, but many more people know and love the movie version, far more than ever saw the stage version. I was commenting that, for some people, that might be why they didn't like this version of The Sound Of Music.

  Exactly, Lisa. We watched it last night and it was enjoyable for what it was.

  I recently reconnected with a JW I used to babysit for. One child has gotten a law degree (when past 40) and another became a pilot, both still faithful to the WTS.

  The family is wealthy and well-positioned in the congo, so I doubt they would have been censured by the BoE.

  How do you feel about Common Core education?

  by nonjwspouse in

  1. social
  2. current

  especially if you are a teacher, how did you learn about it to begin with?

  was there a common core rep doing a slick presentation?.

  how do those of you with kids on school feel about, among others, things such as the deemphasis on the great works of literature ?.

  Just thinking....my grandparents didn't think I'd see my Senior Year in High School. I'm starting a college fund for mine..

  Heh, heh......coming to terms with the fact that life will go on after us.............we have college funds for 6 grandkids.........fortunately (or whatever) Mr Bee did not have kids of his own so we can be generous to mine........I just hope there is a world for them to enjoy when the time comes.........

  The Governing Body Have Stabbed Many Old Bethelites In The Back By Not Taking Care Of Them In Their Old Age

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  these guys are real company men when they have mass lay off of older bethelites tossing them to the curb and making the congregation they are assigned to carry some of the load, so that the watchtower corporation can cut costs of providing for these nolonger young people who have devoted theirs lives to the corporation.. they are heartless bastards aren't they?

  i wonder what kind of undercurrent this is causing at headquartes?.

  Reminds me of my uncle and his wife. They were a handsome couple in the 1940's - both robust, good-looking, full of life. Unfortunately, they took seriously the admonition to not pro-create. They became District Servants. I suppose they had a satisfying life, as far as it went. He crashed his car one morning on the way to field service and died a few days later. I believe she is still alive. Would be in her late 80's. Sadly, the WTS dictated their lives.
