  Witnesses DO NOT Love Each Other

  by metatron in

  the watchtower claims that witnesses love each other - and that this love marks them.

  as being the true religion.. nonsense!.

  witnesses love each other?.

  In my experience,witnesses only love the ones that are in their cliques.If your'e not in the "in-crowd",you don't even exist to them.This was especially true with the elder's wives.All the talk about them having love among themselves is nothing more than a fantasy.

  I think this place has been more therapeutic for me than any psychologist could ever be.After all,how many head doctors are ex-Jws?This place has some of the wittiest,empathetic,and warmest people I have ever met.I started feeling cleansed after my first fifty posts.

  Well, I wonder what they are saying about Babylon's waters drying up now? The Witnesses always refer to Isaiah 60:22 "The little one himself will become a thousand,and the small one a mighty nation,I myself,Jehovah,shall speed it up in it's own time."Well,why isn't it happening?Seems to me like only happening in the churches of "christendom."

  Did YOU CHEAT on Your Time?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the things the congregation secretary has to do is tabulate field service reports.

  i always loved it when i would get a report that had an enormous amount of hours and placements.,especially if the person never was seen in the ministry.

  i knew a lot of "phantom pioneers".

  since my wife has been attending meetings recently, and i have been going with her i have noticed a change.. i mentioned i thought it was weird that after the sun talk and before watchtower study they would announce the number of people who had attended and invite them to stay for the wt study.

  since i mentioned this to an elder it has stopped.

  i have never heard it again.

  JG,

  In the last congregation I was associated with,they would announce the number in attendance at the public talk only every now and then,but it wasn't consistent.I never did understand why it was only a "sometimes"thing.
