  What kind of people remain members and will serve the WTS to the end?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my family have been members of the wts since the 1980's.

  they never went to college,don't read any books besides watchtower material,have no hobbies,don't have any friends besides witness "friends",worked manual labor jobs all their lives,never questioned anything the wts changes,and have never looked into any other teachings besides the wts propaganda.

  { in other words: they are closed minded and not very inquisitive}.

  Stupid Idiots at the meeting

  i was at the sunday meeting today (i know, i know...) and i heard this one guy give a comment about how hollywood movies always portray rich people as happy and successful, so that's proof that satan controls the film industry because it's a lie.. .

  i struggled to think of one recent hollywood film that portrayed anyone as being happy, let alone rich and happy.

  if they made a movie like this guy was describing, it wouldn't sell.

  This reminds me of when they changed the food arangments some years ago, went from buying food on site to you bringing your own. When asked what kind of food you should bring to eat, one sister raised her hand and said "we can go without eating for the assembly" the conductor was hypogly. and said, maybe you can but I can not.

  They remind me of those idiots who beat themselvs and try to become mayrters. Sick little puppys.

  i was loading my purchase in my car yesterday when i saw out of the corner of my eye a 20 something man in suit and tie walk up to me and he was holding what i knew was a watchtower.. after 30 years of slavery and i was running late i went off on him, before he could even open his mouth i said, i was part of your cult for 30 years before i left.

  he asked what made me leave, i told him that if when christ came invisibly to earth in 1914 and saw russell and his little group of bible students were the only people who had it right and so gave him authority over his earthly preaching work, why would you be disfellowshiped for teaching anything russell tought?

  if the bible says that a person who predicts something to happen and it does not come to pass he is a false profit and the society had not been right on one thing, i told him i lived through [stay alive till 75] and knew many who sold their homes and had enough to live on just until 75 and again nothing happend, did he know that the second pres.

  I said I did n ot have time for this and told him to get on the internet and read about his cult.

  As I drove away, I felt bad for going off on this guy, he walked into to 30 years of pent up emotion and I blew some of the presure at him.

  The damage this religion has done to me and my family is unrepairable and still holds many many scars, I get so angry when I see them walking around handing out their magazines, but then as I drove off I rememberd I once walked around thinking I was on the right road trying to give someone a magazine.

  It makes me even mader that it still has this affect on me. Just when I thought I was getting over the anger it floods back at a moments notice. I moved at least in a small part to hot springs arkansas to get away from my family who looked or looks down on my life because I do not buy in to crazy anymore.

  Dont you just want to go to brooklyn and grab a couple of the GB and wrap your hands around their necks? And with this Religous nut job in the white house pushing our country into the ground, I have just about had my fill of god and religion. I am all stocked up on crazy for life. I do not need any more.

  What "Unwritten Rules" Did Your Congregation Have?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew of a hall that allowed only white shirted speakers on the platform for sunday public talks!

  when a visiting speaker did not wear the official white shirt he was either told that he couldn't give the talk or he could change shirts,as the hall kept a variety of sizes, just in case of an emergency!!!

  i don't make this up.

  In vanderbuilt if you took a sister home from or to meeting and you and her were the only ones in the car, she had to ride in the back.

  I have seen so many "rules" and most are by what is up the butt of the local elders.

  These small minded people love rule over others.

  I know of rules from several cong. in california they would not say a thing about kids buying kegs and having kegger partys on the beach. In michigan that would get you reproved at min.

  I remember the NO leisure suit rule, the not colord shits rule. No beards was and is org wide. The colord shit rule was an unwriten rule adopted by many cong. as showie display of ones self. Not being humble type thinking.

  I can remember women could not give talks if they has any combonation of red white and blue.

  The list has no end. You can not be a MS or elder if you are cought watching R rated movies.

  I can remember fred best now pased on used to watch laugh in and at the time this was a very eye brow raising thing to do for a rank and file little own a member of the 144 thousand as fred was.

  The rules will never quit as long as there are iditos

  Julia Sweeney's new tape letting go of god is one of the best monologs I have heard in quite a while.

  It is hard to find but you can view a seventeen min. sample on youtube. I final found it on audible.com and for 11.95 no tax you can down load a copy to your computer and burn one copy to cd. If you search you can find how to get around the itunes copy limit with out any trouble at all.

  It is two hours long and she goes from being catholic to searching for god in some form that is logical and comes to the conclusion that god does not exist. It is funny and thought provoking at the same time.

  It is well worth the twelve dollars and you can burn several copies and give them to friends, who knows you may make a former dubber think.
