  I think it is fantastic that two people found each other like this couple did, and have been together for so long.

  Even if they are witnesses. I won't hold that against them. Good for them.

  Does "Loyalty" work both ways in the Org?

  by JH in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as jw's we are asked to be "loyal" to the organization.

  all this means is, say "yes" to everything they ask, and believe everything they teach without questioning.. how about the jw organization, are they loyal to their members?

  if a brother of sister falls sick, loses a job, becomes invalid, will the jw organization show loyalty to that person and help out?

  The witnesses claim to be the most loving of all people, but as we know, they are far from it.

  I personally have seen much more love given to others at "worldy" churches.

  If he did not want the publicity, or maybe even the deep down desire to get caught, he would not have written the notes to the police that ultimately helped in catching him.

  He was quiet for a long time, and probably would have gotten away with it.

  So scary for the people who lived near him. Can you imagine knowing someone like this guy, and not know the dark hidden horrible secrets he had?

  It would be so funny to see the looks of the people in the hall as they heard and saw all the clapping and cheering after a da announcement. They would not have a clue how to respond.

  the love you had at first?

  by eye 23 in

  i have been so sadend by finding this site and wanted you all to know that the organization is indeed a loving one with only your best interests at heart...but i'm sure, if you look deep within your hearts you already know this to be true...dont you?.

  if you search your inamost thoughts and feelings and put away your debeauched/immoral life style ( because if you are truly honest with yourselves, guilt is the reason you needed to distance yourselves from righteousness) and come back to the truth you will see that only kind, loving and overwhelming compassion has always been at the forefront of the wtbts and that although you may feel contentment in a (deluded sort of way) you would have a real happiness within the true christian organization...as your former bible trained concience must know... all others that profess to be 'christian' are satanicly influenced even though they may appear to do good/kind things....how else would the last days of satans system be?.

  so i urge all the 'lost sheep' to 'find the love you had at first' and return to the loving compasionate embrace of the organization....you know this makes sense!!!!

  Sad thing is, that is exactly what many witnesses think and do and say. So blinded by the real truth.

  Tough day -- my mom died today

  poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.

  the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.

  last weekend she actually looked a little better.

  Very sorry to hear about your loss. I have no doubt that she is in a much better place now.

  Take care.
