Translation : If you are young or old and suffered life threatening strokes, heart attacks, or other physical ailments - it's MORE important to use your energy for meetings and field service - NOT say physical rehabilitation, therapy , medical attention for healing. If the experience of Stephanie doesn't show how uncaring, unfeeling and self serving the WT society and JW cult is towards it's members - then I don't know what else does.

Flipper....Great thread as usual!

The whole objective of the WTS is to make you feel like you're never doing enough,blame you for your own spiritual weakness,blame you for ''reading into things'', ''running ahead'',and having ''bad associations''.

My uncle is around 90 years old.He can't hardly walk,suffers from heart disease and has bad circulation in both legs. He never goes out to any family functions but makes it to every meeting and auxilary pioneers.

My mom is in a wheel chair and makes it to every meeting and does phone service every Saturday just so she can get in her hours. Every time I take her to the Doctor she always leaves 2 magazines around so she can claim magazine placements.

What is happening to JWN ?...So many topics not relating to Jehovah's Witnesses!

note the home page..wow how it has changed.. jehovah's witness discussion forumthe place to discuss anything relating to jehovah's witnesses and the watchtower bible and tract society... or just make new friends!.

many of the posts have nothing to do with with jehovah's witnesses and new ones coming on this board would be turned off by the content of many of these off color posts.

foul inappropriate language which is not proper or suitable for exiting witnesses to visibly inspect.

Do you remember when we were told by the local elders that the Kingdom Hall was to be used only for spiritual matters? And,that any talk about business,work,vacations or any other matter would have to wait until you walked out of the Kingdom Hall. Do you remember that you couldn't show any pictures of your vacation,family or of any other kind? Remember that you couldn't pass out any business cards at the meetings?

Is that what you want here? Do you want all the rules that the WTS made us follow to be placed on this wonderful site? Do we need more rules and regulations which were a burden on all of us? Did we have any freedom to say what was on our minds at the Kingdom Hall like we have on this site? Isn't freedom of speech wonderful?

This forum has so many topics to choose from. Take your pick because in a matter of minutes a new one will come along.

it was thrilling to participate in the world wide protest, jan, 21-23 2011 exposing the watchtower organization for their policies on deliberately breaking up up families.

we thank all those involved this past weekend for their passion and commitment to help free those trapped in falsehood.

i am aware that many on this forum do not believe in protesting against the watchtower society,and i respect their position.

Keep up the good work on youtube and your protests! At least you put yourself on the frontlines. The rest of us (myself included ) will hide behind our computers and cry like a bunch of babies how the WTS should just go away! We will all wait for others to do the dirty work. One person can't defeat the WTS but doing nothing won't bring it down either.

Remember the easiest way a boxer wins a fight is by small body blows and not by knockout! The WTS will never fall but they can get hurt and retreat to their corner.

Talk about made up stories! Here is a field service experience that was told at yesterday's Public Talk which would fall into the made up stories!

A man in Italy was called on a monthly basis by Jehovah's Witnesses. He repeated to them that he had no interest in their religion since he had his own and was quite happy being Catholic. They came no matter what. They left magazines at his door and he would throw them out without ever reading the material.

One day his company transfers him to Singapore,South Asia because of work. Now he can finally get away from the Witnesses.

One morning there is a knock on the door and it's the Jehovah's Witnesses . He just can't get away from them. So,he decides to buy 2 dogs. Now that should stop the Witnesses from entering his yard.

Two sisters show up one day and enter the yard. The two dogs chase the 2 sisters. One sister makes it out of the yard but the other sister is cornered by one of the dogs. She takes the Watchtower magazine and Awake magazine and it puts it by the dogs mouth to protect herself.The dog walks away with the magazines in his mouth.(Did Jehovah's angel protect the sister?)The dog walks back in the house where the owner is standing. He decides to read them,has a Bible study and 6 months later he is baptized member.

Now he has grown up..He has no part of J W's. Lets hope he has a regular life, but of course his mother still has nothing to do with him. She has lost her son and why?.............Because he was baptized as a boy when things meant little and he was too immature to think of the long term. If he had never been baptized at least his mother might still have a son!

There have been over 10 baptized teens in our congregation who have been disfellowshipped due to drinking,smoking,and sexual matters. Today,they are nowhere to be seen. Almost all the parents have disowned them.

The WTS want young kids and teens to get baptized so they can control them. Instead of parents being in control,the WTS can eliminate all teen problems in the home and congregation by disfellowshipping them. Then, the parents will agree with the WTS that they had good reason to disfellowship their kids because they were all baptized and should of known better.

SHAME ON ALL THE PARENTS WHO LET THE WTS DICTATE THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN!

How many more congregations can they add to our Kingdom Hall?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

last year the 3 congregations that share our kingdom hall decided to add a fourth congregation to join .

that means that our sunday meeting was pushed back to a 6:00 p.m. start and end around 7:45 p.m. not only is that too late of a start but all of our sunday's will be wasted.

you will now need to leave around 5:00 p.m. and get home around 8:30 p.m.. i hardly attend now and find it even harder too make this new time slot.

I hardly attend now and find it even harder too make this new time slot. Don't the Elders care that their Sunday's are ruined and that maybe they don't need to add another congregation? Is it all about splitting the expenses? How many congregations are too many?

Jesus said:

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)

The Watchtower Society says in PARAGRAPH 12:

You should get baptized when you are

fully aware of what being one of Jehovah’s

Witnesses involves and when you are sure

that you are ready and willing to take on this

responsibility.—Eccl. 5:4, 5

I wish someone would of explained this to me when I got baptized at 15 years old. The WTS told me 30 years ago that I was baptized in the name of Father,Son and Holy Spirit not the WTS. Now they give me no choice but to fade since they changed the rules. You can easily get in the organization but impossible to get out.

SHAME ON YOU WTS for changing the rules and for making it too easy for young ones to get baptized !
