  I've had enough..

  by raven in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so last night, after thinking "wow those pesky elders have finally left me alone, maybe since i skipped out on their jc invitation back on august 1st they've given up" wrong.. i go to check the mail and there's an envelope at my front door- lo and behold, another letter from from these elders.. why won't they leave me alone already?

  i'll attach a picture of the letter.. again, same letter as the first one inviting me to a judicial committee on august 15th - and signed by all three elders.. should i just continue to ignore?

  quite frankly i don't give a rats arse i've been enjoying life free from the mind control of the organization, and i just wish they would drop it and let me live life.. like i mentioned before, i am moving to a new home next week, the only reason these elders have my current address ( which happens to be over 100 miles away from the cong ) is because my mother gave it to them, after i gave it to her in confidence to forward me my mail.. so lets just say she won't be getting my new address... i don't have any contact with ones from this congregation (i'm an ex pioneer, so i'm sure if they've gotten word on what i'm doing, i must be satan himself!

  Was mentioned before, appointed grown men playing house with imagined power over individuals threatening action with their flamboyant signatures kind of insulting. I'd be temped to go in, produce said letter, not even give them the courtesy of sitting down and tell them how insulting their letter is then proceed to make huge flamboyant signatures of my own. End the 'meeting' on a brief note by ripping up letter in their face and throwing it up in the air letting the confetti fall randomly on the carpet. Offer them a goodwill handshake, wish them well, turn around showing them back of my neck and walk out on a brisk pace.hehe

  Jehovah's Witnesses Do Not Believe in Freedom of Religion

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this statement may seem odd at first.

  you may think of jehovah's witnesses as being an american religion in a country where freedoms exist and are prized.

  you may think of the organization's legal battles in the supreme court to protect certain rights and freedoms.

  Barbara Anderson has a great talk that she gives written out on her website Barbara Andersons Watchtowerdocuments :

  http://watchtowerdocuments.org/why-it-is-dangerous-to-associate-with-jehovahs-witnesses-speech/#comment-231

  She mentions that they used to fight for freedom from oppressors, and have now become 'The Oppressors'
  

  Thank-you Barbara love you guys !

  What The Org Teaches: #2 THE GREAT TRIBULATION

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  every single bible student/jehovah's witness who has ever lived, has been indoctrinated to believe that a catastrophic great tribulation would very soon engulf the entire earth, causing untold death & destruction.

  this spurious teaching is drummed into every j.w.

  's head and used by them as a major recruitment tool.

  There are many ways to interpret the end times of the Bible, this study is called Eschatology. The WT uses a Futurist and Idealist method. Most interpretations are a mixture of the three types to a certain degree, here is a good Wiki article :

  Hope this helps

  The Elders want to meet with me and the hubby... Lol lol lol

  by Sevan in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so the elders called wanting to meet with me and my husband.

  most likely because i told a concerned jw friend of mine that i really care about that i wasn't coming back and a couple of the issues i had.

  i didn't bring up any so-called "apostate" information, just told her about the australian royal commission and that there are a lot of unscriptural teachings and that the gb apply scriptures that are about jehovah and jesus to themselves, which is idolatry.

  CYA slippery little rat ! ' I'm like a jellyfish that just floats about here and there' is how he responded to his wife's accusations. I've met many a JW that have this dishonest type personality trait. You should see the look of horror on their faces when I call them on their BS and let them know I've ben researching the WT's history hehe ! Incredible that both Russell and Rutherford be the heads of 'God's Channel of Communication' and be such despicable dishonest cheating husbands.

  Underlying Resentment Among the Members

  by xjwsrock in

  most of us here have seen and experienced the judgmental attitude among jw's.

  the pioneers look down on the publishers.

  the appointed men look down on the non-appointed men.

  Overheard a pioneering cleaner elder from my former cong. and another pioneer sister at the assembly hall chatting about how so many in the suburban congregations have 'houses' !!!!!!! There were some tisk tisk sounds thrown in. In all fairness the elder is super nice guy, just so brainwashed and deceived by the cult. His wife is beyond suicidal and he refused a college trust fund to pursue 'kingdom interests' Last I heard he is still at it in his sixties doing cleaning jobs living on next to nothing and with no furniture. No wonder his wife went nuts.
