  Prepare to 'Phone Bethel!

  by The Searcher in

  forewarned is forearmed!

  here's a little tip for anyone who decides to 'phone bethel: .

  bethelites are trained to be paranoid with telephone callers, and they ask you the following, "who's calling; where are you calling from; (if you've withheld your number!

  Bethelites have always been trained to be that way, guarded answers for questions. EG; when I was at HQ for a tour I asked how many hours the bethelites had to get in field service, answer: we strive to do the national average. So then I asked that's 10 hrs a month rite? answer: every bethelites hours are between him and Jehovah. So then I asked is it true that your rooms are monitored for inappropriate reading and viewing material. Answer : we are not monitored in any way we are free to choose our own reading and tv viewing. 3 more questions and then I was taken aside and asked for name, position, address, congregation. Suffice to say I gave them BS.

  is it possible to move from baptized publisher to unbaptized status perpetually?

  what do elders do when you inform them that your baptism was invalid?

  Been there tried that does not work. The "rub" is simply that they will announce that you are no longer a JW and if you are a born in your whole family has just died to you. How in gods name is this "a loving provision"

  Why is it that this thread is true not only in North America but also the UK and Europe.? Because the Org. will not help anyone financially, but they have no scruples when the old sisters leave them money though their family may be penniless!!!!

  JWs are not charitable

  by BashfulAshG in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hey guys,.

  i'm just venting here because obviously, i can vent to no one else because i am still in the congregation.. jws as a whole do nothing to help the poor, the homeless, the sick, the hungry, though some individual jws do.

  because they are too busy giving to the gb.

  Again same policies the world over. The members are controlled worldwide. would never have believed that ...with the money the Org has that it turns its back on the helpless. In Europe, UK, North America to name a few of the places I have worked, same old. Go to the food bank, [run by churches and charitable groups] pray more get out in service more. But do not ask for money,

  my jw spies tell me that the kingdom halls are empty compared to how they used to be, since i left 5 years ago.

  not saying they're empty because of me though.. is that what you are hearing?.

  From my own observations in KH in north America and the uk that I visited they are filled with the same kind of people. Their is a growing trend of poor meeting attendance. In the KH here in the uk you could come in sit and leave after the meeting and no one would say hello. I encountered the same loveless response in north America. The modernised countries are the worst.

  straight after the commission ended today within minutes, the phone rang.

  it was one of the people who are working on it.

  firstly she established if i was alright and did i want to talk.. i said i was too tired and unhappy that geoffrey jackson managed to do some preaching....she said they were aware of that.

  Again thank you for sharing, my eyes were opened many years ago when in the mid 90s the letter was sent to the elders informing them that paedophiles could continue to serve. They have hundreds if not thousands of names in HQ of those who are guilty of crimes against children. Sad day. At one time I thought when they had meetings on the GB that God spoke thru them, forgive me father for I have sinned. Then I learned from Crisis of conscience, it was all lies.

  Geoffrey Jackson: "That would be presumptuous of us"...

  by Calebs Airplane in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  within the first few minutes, mr. stewart asked geoffrey jackson if the members of the governing body consider themselves to be god's spokesperson on earth.. his response: "that would be presumptuous of us" (implying that they don't consider themselves to be god's sole channel of communication).. to me, that was the worst lie of about 26 lies he's told during this hearing.

  however, mr. stewart missed an opportunity to call out mr. jackson on this bold-faced lie.

  he should have asked him to explain why the watchtower magazine teaches otherwise.

  "That would be presumptuous of us" (Implying that they don't consider themselves to be God's sole channel of communication).

  These are GJs own words. Now when the elders come around to see you over an apostate charge, if you were to repeat those words you would in no short order be disfellowshipped. Same as the hypocrisy of only needing one elder sitting outside your door all night.dun and dusted disfellowshipped. But a child has to confront her abuser????

  by SpunkedTeen in

  2. friends

  i tried testing my family by mentioning that a member of the gb was summoned to appear in front of the royal commission and i found it really weird how they reacted.they dismissed it saying its just satan attacking the 'truth' and i could not believe how ignorant they are.they all think that the organization did nothing wrong or even that jw's abuse their children.

  I slid it past my wife that a GB member was called to the RA Commission, in Australia she dismissed it told me Anthony Morris 3rd had done a video telling us it was all lies and made up stories. Blamed the media, when I pressed her she told me the elders had warned against apostate tv shows. I wept inwardly to remember that I was once like her but now I am free!!
