Red flags
by beautifulisfree inwhen i was an active witness i never understood why there were 'annointed' women that would be ruling right beside god and helping rule over the whole earth.
but, they were not allowed or good enough to be 'elders' and just rule over a tiny little congregation.
i know now this should have been a red flag for me...but, i just thought oh well this scripture says that men are to be the head of woman.

Any Dubs in your Hall that were puportedly "Demonized"?
by Sailor Ripley inwe had a whole family that moved into our congo when i was about 10. they had kids from 6 to 16-years-old.
there was always talk of their beds spinning and shoes floating, et cetera.
they lived in a literal shack so i didn't want to go there to spend the night, but i always wanted to go and "check it out" to see some fireworks.

A few people in my old congregation said they heard voices...then the elders would go over to their homes and... actually I don't know what the elders did? But, one of the ladies is in and out of a mental institution now and the elders still go to see her there....maybe they should just stay there.

And you thought Mel Gibson was anti-semitic
by beautifulisfree inin 1933 while the rank and file were being persecuted right along side the jews this is what the society said:.
as for the declaration and an accompanying letter sent to adolf hitler personally, they were nothing short of self-serving statements which attempted to ingratiate jehovah's witnesses with the nazis.
under a sub-section entitled "jews," the declaration reads: it is falsely charged by our enemies that we have received financial support for our work from the jews.

In 1933 while the rank and file were being persecuted right along side the Jews this is what the society said:
As for the Declaration and an accompanying letter sent to Adolf Hitler personally, they were nothing short of self-serving statements which attempted to ingratiate Jehovah's Witnesses with the Nazis. Under a sub-section entitled "Jews," the Declaration reads:
It is falsely charged by our enemies that we have received financial support for our work from the Jews. Nothing is farther from the truth. Up to this moment there never has been the slightest bit of money contributed to our work by Jews. We are the faithful followers of Christ Jesus and believe upon Him as the Savior of the world, whereas the Jews entirely reject Jesus Christ and emphatically deny that he is the Savior of the world sent of God for man's good. This of itself should be sufficient proof to show that we receive no support from Jews and therefore the charges against us are maliciously false and could only proceed from Satan, our great enemy.
The greatest and most oppressive empire on earth is the Anglo-American empire. By this is meant the British Empire, of which the United States of America forms a part. It has been the commercial Jews of the British-American Empire that have built up and carried on Big Business as a means of exploiting and oppressing the peoples of many nations. This fact particularly applies to the cities of London and New York, the stronghold of Big Business. This fact is so manifest in America that there is a proverb concerning the city of New York which says: "the Jews own it, the Irish Catholics rule it, and the Americans pay the bills." We have no fight with any of these persons mentioned but, as witnesses for Jehovah and in obedience to his commandment set forth in the Scriptures, we are compelled to call attention to the truth concerning the same in order that the people may be enlightened concerning God and his purpose. -

Was it frowned on to plan vacation during the Circuit Overseers visit?
by truthseeker ini have noticed in my hall, and others, that to plan a vacation or to be away during any of the upcoming co's visits was frowned upon.
it was said you weren't being responsible and were disregarding the counsel to make that a week of "special activity.".
sometimes, it is not know when a co will next visit.

It was frowned on!! My family had a time share so it was a set week during the year and of course the C.O's visit sometimes fell on that week...So, instead of skipping his upbuilding and encouraging visit we would go to the hall over when he visited there

i asked that question as a kid.
was told that as spirits your neither male or female.
See, now I never heard that...but, then again I didn't dare ask questions as a kid about the society...I was to afraid that it meant that I was questioning God and I would get a BIG spanking from God through the hands of my parents
