  My son was murdered today

  by truman in

  2. experiences

  i have been on this site daily, almost from its beginning, since i left the jws in 2001, but i have been more of a reader than a poster, as you can see from my post count.

  i know few here know me, although i know many of you through reading your posts.

  maybe it is not right to ask for support, when i generally stay quietly in the background of this forum, but i want only to speak a human misery of the deepest kind.

  Something about the end of the current system of things they can't pony up to...

  1975 was approaching and for years the society demanded the belief that god instructed these men of bethel to declare 1975 as the date for the end.

  they talked about it in conventions.

  they supported it in many of their publications.

  "Do you still feel Jehovah is directing the Organization?"

  by outsmartthesystem in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for those of you with experience being asked this question.....or those of you that are/were elders........ what would happen if you responded to that question by saying "i don't know"?.

  what would happen if you responded with "i choose not to answer that question."?

  and then when they ask why, you say "because i wish to invoke my 5th amendment rights".

  I would say, "Jehovah is definitley directing the Organization"

  Then I would think to myself:

  Jehovah is a concept that the organization excepts and they follow the Bible that Jehovah supposedly had written and they percieve these writings in their own way. They in fact allow themselves to be directed by their conceptual god jehovah.

  What's the strangest thing you've heard someone seek counsel with the elders about?

  by keyser soze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  personally, i never went to the elders with anything(not voluntarily, anyway).

  but a friend of mine once asked a couple of elders whether it would be acceptable for him and his wife to make a sex tape, for their own personal viewing.

  needless to say, the idea was frowned upon..

  I was asked to counsel a young man who felt guilty because he was haveing nocturnal emissions. The wierd thing was that his father who was also an elder asked me to talk to his son. I explained to the son that it was quite natural occurance and that he should concern himself with it.

  The boy was probably about 20 some years old and now he is a stuff shirted elder of about 40 years old

  Are you an athiest and why?

  by LouBelle in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm interested in finding out people's reasons as to why they are athiest.. i have simply through life experience, my research into religions over the years come to that conclusion.

  never thought i would come to a day that i did not believe in a god.

  believing in a god is like believing in super man, it would be great if he existed but well it's just a fairy tale.

  Are you infering that because the Watchtower Bible and Tract society have all these buildings and property they are not having financial problems?

  Consider some other examples of organization's that have or are having financial problems

  1. The United States (lots of buildings and land)

  2. General Motors (lots of buildings, land, and machinery)

  3. Chrysler (same things a General Motors)

  4. California (Lot's of land and quite a few buildings)

  5. Many other states with the same things as California

  etc. etc etc

  At this point, I don't think the watchtower society is having financial problems at present but I think (and I think they do too) there business model points to financial problems ahead. IE

  lower rates of contribution

  more members from third world countrys who need finanical help

  Cash flow at this point is not a problem because of all the real estate recently sold in NYC but if expenditures continue as they are, and income being what it is, they could be facing some financial problems in the future despite all the land and buildings.
