Jobs that the WTS doesn't approve of

by freedom96 in

there were several different careers that the wts did not aprove of.

such as a being a cop, for having a gun.

couldn't be a martial arts instructor.. maybe it was a well paying career.. did you have a job that was not approved of?

Dia

Just a minute. This doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it.

The WTS is a bunch of money grubbing control freaks.

WHY would they not want people to earn as much as possible so they could take more?

i ran across this shocking article and thought it might be of interest:.

http://www.stetson.edu/~psteeves/relnews/0108a.html.

with extreme cynicism and brutality an ex-convict made short work of a female sectarian from the "jehovah's witnesses" religious society.

Dia

Where did they get the details of what they did together (had tea and talked) and what they talked about if she's dead and he's denying it?

My S.A.D. experience

for those who have been out of touch for more than a few years, a s.a.d.

is the special assembly day.

i attended the sad in brooklyn this weekend and thought you might enjoy some of the highlights.. the morning began with two "telling" illustrations.

Do you think selfish JW parents might find this JW 'quality' attractive because it lets them keep more for themselves, rather than saving or planning for their less important offspring?

(Note: They also get out of having to plan birthday parties or spend for Christmas gifts)

Top Five Forbidden Watchtower Subjects

by metatron in

if you are an 'old timer' and wonder why the watchtower and awake.

magazines are so bland and lacking in content, it may come as no surprize.

to you that it's often because a number of topics are 'off limits'.. that is, certain subjects are so troublesome to the watchtower leadership.

Dia

Thanks met,

I would say 'charity' is a forbidden topic. Helping your fellow man.

Kindness.

Loving and effective child-rearing.

Empathy.

Showing respect.

Humility.

Feelings.

Congregation get-togethers

did your hall ever organize times for the congregation to do activities?.

about every 6-9 months, mine would have a congregation picnic.

people would bring food, and we would play a softball game.

Dia

You can't have close friendships, you can't have relaxed social events, you can't have FUN in a religion where TATTLING is exhaulted into a God-ordained DUTY of every member.
