  Were you told to give till it hurts? (Time, contributions etc)

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember hearing many times from the platform, and especially the assemblies, that we had to give our valuable things to jehovah till it hurt - and if it didn't hurt, we weren't struggling enough.. especially contributions - did we give till we hurt or did we give out of our surplus?

  they love to use the example of the widow's mite to guilt us.. one co said that "some people only give jehovah 10 hours a month!

  " - can you imagine that?

  You just made me think of another way to stick it to the man....Monopoly money in the contribution box!

  That would be "almost" as good as telling the Elders just what I think of them via the same little box.

  What would you notice first if you went back to a Kingdom Hall?

  first thing i'd notice is how the old ones got so much older and how the kids became adults and are taller than me.. next thing i'd notice would be how long and dull the meetings are.. *yawn*.

  Dirty Little Tricks...

  dirty little tricks...that i might add help keep me sane.

  one of the things i like to do when my "true-believing" wife leaves her new "study aids" and stuff on the kitchen table, is to take a few of them and burn them in the stove.

  funny, she never seems to miss them.

  Hey, it's just one of the many things that I do to "stick it to the man." (At least in my mind.) Some of the others are putting "appostate" flyers in the mens room stalls, and in the contribution box at assemblies. I also go with the wife to the Sunday talk about twice a month. When I do this, around my neck and under my shirt are two things...a set of dog tags (with my blood type on them, that I got to commemorate my first blood donation) and a small cross. Combine that with the general comedy factor of the talks, and I always leave with a smile on my face.

  Ohh, and from time to time I like to ask my wife questions that would actually require her to think for herself. (Like how can the Society be spirit directed, and NOT be "inspired"?)

Funny, she never seems to miss them. (I just made about 25 percent of her tracts go bye bye.) Another good one, is to take her new "book study" book, and carefully cut out a page or two in the middle.

  Stupid? Yes. Fun? You bethca.

  Allowed blood products by %, from KM 06, how can a JW not see thru this

  by jwfacts in

  i have just put together a table with percentages that highlights quite simply what a jw can and can not have.

  the wts does not present it in this simple format, as graphically it is quite obvious how senseless their stand is.

  So according to current JW law, I CAN take a blood transfusion...it just has to be broken down into small parts, and given a little at a time.

  2. friends

  i have finally gone onto broadband today.

  i have a new isp, and i am thinking of changing my e-mail account to them.

  it would certainly be a good way to leave behind all the spam and marketing e-mail for a few days.. my problem: choosing a new address.

  "Leaving the Truth" The Easy Way

  by metatron in

  1. jw

  i noticed that we have a lot of new lurkers here - and, in particular, some elders who are agonizing over how to get free.

  from the watchtower without causing too much damage to themselves.

  here are some suggestions that have worked.

  A good rule is TRUST NO ONE. I only have TWO people that I completely trust, and they are the only ones that know my true feelings.

  It is also a good idea to live your life as if you are constantly being watched. - As you probably are. After all, every witness is taught to be a good little snitch.

  And if all else fails, just make sure there is not more than one witness, then lie like hell. - I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing.

  I have mananged to be quite content with the above "rules." It is not the best way to live, but I have learned to make do.

  I would make a great spy.

  Comparing the Watchtower to a government ... your thoughts

  by The wanderer in

  untitled document <!-- .style1 {font-family: verdana} .style2 {font-family: verdana; font-style: italic; } --> comparing the watchtower to a government during the time in which i spent as one of jehovah's witnesses.

  the watchtower society would often compare itself to a theocracy.. however, over the course of time that was not my perception con-.

  cerning the watchtower.. what kind of government would you compare it to?does the society represent a "theocracy" as they so often claim?.

  Communist, all the way. Rule from the top. No room for debate, or other points of view. Authoritarian. General buttwipes.

  They have the right to speak their mind, and I have the right to use their CD's as targets.
