  Korean News : CoC in Korean

  by AntiEntropy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi bros.. after my father's publishing his book, "15 questions after 40 years of jw" , many ex-jw bros in korea became motivated to rush to the coc korean project.

  however any secular project needs a fund eventhough it's a not-for-profit.

  fortunately, a bunch of bros decided to donate generously $300~$7,000 to this unprofitable business.

  I see that even WT is admitting no decreases in Korea last couple years. May the decreases continue to increase with the help ex-JWs! I expect the South Koreans are internet savvy.

  i am a happy man!

  i texted my mother a couple of questions.

  i asked if she thought that my children will die in armagedon even if they were good, and had a possitive outlook on life.

  I have heard from a few that "shunning" doesn't go over well among the latino JW moms. Many to most of their moms have a very strong unconditional love and emotional that the WT have difficulty in breaking. I hope that is true.

  After 50 years Zealous Service, My Elder Friends goes Inactive

  by James Jack in

  2. experiences

  i asked him what happened.

  he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.

  doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.

  This should make us remember Ray Franz and his wife who lived this tragedy of the after release of this organization and found themselves with little money to survive. I commend such persons who, despite their age, do this analysis and act accordingly. No longer lie themselves in the constraint that subjected its followers on the watchtower and those who blindly support. Marcial

  Marcial:I hope okay that I did a computer translator of your comments. I so respect Ray and Cynthia Franz courageous flight from the organization. They helped me to see so much of the WT reality of JW future. Thank you, Marcial!

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on my roku box, i went to the most popular channels and there sits jw.org.

  it has a rating of 5 stars with over 43,000 reviews!

  more than the nbc news channel, and more than the history channel.

  I was there at 12 yrs. old, already baptized. We drove to NY from CA, (no a/c then) We stayed on a ship for rooming, a cargo type, with bunk beds. I was the oldest of 4. I know it was hard on mom. To see so many JWs in one place (& Polo grounds) was amazing to me. (Going to school for a young JW with all the issues felt like the only JW in the world - lonely). Sitting in the sun all those hours, dressed up, at those assemblies back then contributed to the brain-(d-numbing).

  can someone help me understand how the wt came up with the overlapping generation theory?

  i just don't understand it even though i read the information several times.

  it's bewildering.

  Nobody can 'understand' the WT teaching on the "overlapping." Some may say they understand, because of the their peer pressure in org.

  so i attended a fairly large jw gathering last night with my active, elder husband.

  it was a good-by party for a former special pioneer couple who have been demoted to reg pios and have now moved to a larger city to find work.

  anyway, there was music and skits.

  wow this is interesting!

  i think how much emphasis this puts on "loyalty" shows their is an issue.

  they're trying to plug the wholes as much and quickly as possible.

  wow, if you had a friendship or any relationship, and that person stressed "loyalty" every other sentence for days, would that not be alarming?! Sign of a very, very insecure, ill person?!

  They want to get rid of "anointed ones" - It's getting clear

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i've never met a group that turns on it's members like the jw's.

  sister faithful that thinks she's anointed is now bat shit crazy with mental illness.

  we all have known it's true, but now you have the wt, who put it in everyone's head that you can be anointed.

  But why do they even 'publish' the number partaking? What's their point to do that?
