i posted this yesterday on a similar forum, but it was deleted despite there being nothing wrong with it.
indeed, the scandal is one that i, myself, suffered.
good afternoon from london.... .
It is NOT our community you were faced with; I assure you NOT one of our number as you say!
I assume you met an ACTIVE JW?
You are talking to 'the converted back to normal' on this forum!
Perhaps yoiu should direct your complaint either to your local Kingdom Hall or to the Head Office in Mill Hill.
please do not judge me for going last weekend to the one day that my husband had.. i truly did not mean to even attend but at the last minute i thought if my husband goes in by himself he never sees any of the stupid points they bring out, so i dressed in one of my not so meeting skirts and a top that was very comfortable and thought i would go to starbuks when it got too much for me to handle.
i lasted about 45 minutes.. first we got there late, my fault and my husband went to use the bathroom before we found seats so i sat back and watched.. there the table that they always have in he hallway and one lone po sitting at it by himself manning it.
my husband came out and we found seats.
when they came home there was a box of food on their porch.
This story has been related so many times before, even back in the 60's; it cannot be true!
Why they have to tell so many lies is beyond me.
kh meetings were utter hell.
the boredom, particularly for a child, was awful.
i feel it was a form of child abuse.
My wife; Sister fokyc is ecstatic with ALL the meetings;
when she can't go because of illness or weather she listens on the telephone link.
She even changes into 'meeting dress' and sings the songs; I go to bed!
She is off to a 2 day circuit ass. tomorrow and Sunday, when she arrives home she will be full of it!

Many people have noticed that there is no love among them.
There is certainly very little love in my wife's cong.
For a group of people who have such wonderful prospects in the very near future, what is wrong with them?

this is the publication used at the service meeting thursday nights showing how to preach in the territory..
***
km January 1976 p.3 Speaking with the "Same Line of Thought "About Our Service to God***
As you will notice, the monthly publication that has for many years been called "Kingdom Ministry" has had its name changed to "Our Kingdom Service," beginning with this January 1976 issue. In this way the thought of service expressed by the Greek Scripture term di·a·ko·ni′a is more fully conveyed. This change primarily affects just a few languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Why these? Because in the other languages in which this monthly publication is printed, the title already contains the corresponding word for "service," the reason being that there had been a problem in translating "ministry" accurately into those languages. So this new title in our language will bring the name of this publication into closer harmony with that used elsewhere around the world.
in today's watchtower study, towards the end, you had one of those typical comments by a former df'ed witness expressing appreciation for being shunned.
these comments always remind me of a stalinist show trial in which the accused enthusiastically accepts being executed for the greater good (probably to save his family).. after this kind of nonsense is expressed, you will get a flurry of self righteous comments emphasizing how important it is to shun your disfellowshipped relatives, so that they can come back in the "truth".. oh, really?
do any of these people raising their hand realize that, if the "success" of disfellowshipping depends on your shunning, then the "repentant" person is "coming back in the truth" for the sake of their relatives -and not because of fearing jehovah !!!???.
Jehovah's Witnesses keep lying and lying and lying
Brilliant, the mark of all real JW's: lying.
Five years ago I would never have believed it possible; but it is correct they just lie and lie and lie again!
i was wondering if there are any comprehensive timelines available, jw or otherwise?
i am looking for a diagram that lists the biblical characters and events and the years they were born/died and occurred - all in a summary type format.. .
This is 24 pages! from Ministry Ideaz:

This is a 'master file' for on screen viewing:

Have a look at their website for some others.
i quit my bible study a couple days ago after taking a month or two to work up the guts.
have been getting harassing emails/phone calls blah blah blah.
but i got an email today telling me that an unbelieving spouse can be "sanctified" by his believing mate.
YES! It is 'normal behaviour' for a large number of JW's.
Just ignore them and enjoy your life together; you have had a fortunate escape!
