Can a DFed person donate?

by Lostandfound in

rereading a post re the shunning wt in feb made me think, do the wt accept money from the dead?

not inheritances but from the "living dead" as they perceive df and da people to be.. personally i think they accept or more correctly badger members who are really brain dead into giving.

or do attendants guard contribution boxes to stop such non existent people from putting money in.

THE GOVERNING BODY(tm) WOULD TAKE MONEY FROM THE POPE HIMSELF IF IT WAS OFFERED TO THEM.

"I should have known" moments

by dubstepped in

i got ready for the meeting.

my wife did too.

we drove out to the kingdom hall and the closer we got the higher my anxiety would spike.

I am 61 years old. Raised in the religion, along with my brother and sisters, by my mentally unstable, fanatical single mother. At 7 years old I began to have anxiety symptoms over meeting attendance and field service participation.

I fully understand your pain.

Coming to terms with the Watchtower experience

by Lee Elder in

it is a challenge coming to terms with your experience as a jehovah's witness.

if you were born and raised as a jw, and your parents were true believers, the impact on your life is profound, lasting, and largely negative.

in some cases quite abusive emotionally, spiritually, financially, educationally and yes, even sexually.. i recently watched "trumbo", and was quite moved by dalton trumbo's speech to the screen writers guild in 1970. here is an excerpt that i think is quite relevant to this topic:.

"Thank you Jehovah for putting it into the hearts of this young couple to take us in to their home. Now we have a warm and safe place to 'get it on'. We just wish that they would go to sleep earlier so that we can spend more than a few hours in lovemaking without having to stifle our moans of pleasure and excitement."

paragraph 14: .

"this means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming.

or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education.

"Therefore as a young person, you will never fulfill any career that this system offers."

The Governing Body (tm) created a self fulfilling prophecy for many of the poor, misguided souls that mistook their pontifications as sound advice for living.
