  Tell them your really stressed about your teen and it has really tired you out hard to get to the meetings and all that if they ask if there is anything they can do tell them to pray for you.

  Tell them you have depression they hear this all the time.

  What does an "obedient" elder look like?

  by nochoice in

  just a clarification please.

  some posters on other threads talked about "obedience" being an important factor to get circuit assembly and district assembly parts.

  i don't fully understand.

  We once had a visit from a CO who was new to our circuit, he was an elderly man probably middle 70's. He and his wife were going to leave the circuit work soon so he was scouting for a good place to land but that'a another story.

  So the first time I met him was in the elder's room at the hall, he wanted to meet with me to go over the congregation records. After we were done and standing in the lobby of the hall I said to him, "so is there anything else I should do like kiss your ring" and he sort of smiled and said as he turned around and pointed to his anus "this one". It was all in jest of course but I really did feel that all the obedient elders (I obviously was not) had their nose up his ring.

  hope everyone is having a lovely day.

  i ended up here after spending the past few months researching jw, without the blinders on.

  i was a born-in, baptized as a teen, pioneered out of high school for a couple years (turning down a 4 year scholarship).

  Welcome Gypsy Sam,

  This is a great place for all of us because we are the only ones that really understand what we are going through.

  How many of you followed the WTS direction on education years ago and have been screwed by it?

  by Julia Orwell in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm really interested in this question because i've heard for years that if you forgo further education and go pioneering, when you have a family down the track you will get a good job because jehovah will provide for you because you pioneered.

  as long as i was a kool-aid drinker, even then, i thought, "how does pioneering pay your bills?

  surely education should come first.

  As a parent of a son growing up in the bORG I can say that because of the societies propaganda at the time we did not encourage our son to pursue any form of higher education. Because of their, "the end is so near" teaching we felt no motivation to do so.

  Crazy Religions

  by Qcmbr in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was reading a good article regarding the relative 'craziness' of faiths (blog) and they mentioned a lot about mormons.

  in short they talked about the socially accepted craziness (as opposed to actual mental illness) of mainstream , culturally accepted faiths v those that are relatively new.

  we see scientology as more crazy than catholicism if we fall into the trap of judging without consideration but when examined all religions have very crazy elements.

  200 Billion WT Corporation gives all Members Vote, then Distributes all Money to Members

  by villagegirl in

  the plan: the wt corp turns 200 billion dollar $ assets, property, stock, investment, into cash, then sends a check to every member, men women and baptized children.

  these people are 7 million in number and now each get a check for $30,000 x 7 million = $200 billion.

  the governing body quietly leaves town.

  The Bible and Masturbation...4000 years of inspired input and no scriptures about it ?

  by smiddy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my philosophy when i was a teenager :"those who admit to it are stupid ,those who deny it are liars" that was my response to peers who posed such a subject when i was a teen .now, being a mature aged person i think this subject could do with a bit more enlightened content.. i am a male so i can`t speak for the females ,who, i hope will give their input on this topic for discussion.and i mean it as a serious discussion.. males experience erections from the time they are babies and the natural thing to do is to hold it , and before you know it fondling it gives you releif.. society doesnt help by making you feel guilty and like shit as a dirty person.why in the world do babes ,young children ,young boys get erections before they even know what it`s function is for.

  if a god designed sex for procreation then surely this wouldnt become an issue until they reached the age of puberty ,not when a male is still a baby.. and getting back to my op nowhere in the bible does it talk about masturbation which surely has been going on since adam was a boy/man.. i`m sorry, but to deny that you would have to be a complete idiot ,imbecile ,fool ,or just brain dead.. so for 4000 years of inspired scriptures from god ,nothing is said about a condition that effects every man from his birth to his death .. makes you wonder doesn`t it ?.

  Bad design I guess.
