Infidelity amongst JWs

by YellowLab in

does there seem to be a higher incidence of infidelity amongst the jws?.

my brother, who is an active jw and ministerial servant, has an elder friend who was recently disfellowshipped for having an affair with another sister in the hall.

it turns out this sister was divorced a few years earlier from a "worldly" man who had an affair on her.

During the late 1960's and 1970's there was a lot of fornication and adultery going on, not in just my Hall but the closest one as well.

As a guess this might have been because of the sexaul revolution era and the high number of young baby boomers at the time.

Today you might expect less of that because the age demographic in most JW Kingdom Halls which are made up of more older people.

As an example the PO in my Hall was a married guy with 3 kids, he traveled out town to do some business and while he was away from the family he was boinking young girls who he met at other JWS congregations.

He was eventuality caught and got DFed, this brought so much anguish to his family they moved away, really felt sorry for rest of the family.

What to do with old publications

by TonyMorronTheTurd in

hi guys,.

it's been a while since i posted here, but i feel like posting again.. it's hard sometimes to find the energy to post here after i expend all my time working a full time job and pretending i care about the wt$ at the same time.. i've been trying to slowly wake my girlfriend up ever since i first posted here, and i must say it is a long waiting game that i am playing right now.

almost all my efforts are dismissed and i've been slowly losing hope.. anyways, what i meant to really post here today is about old publications.. honestly anything that has to do with the watchtower and jdubs, as of recently makes me feel like vomiting.

Burn them all except maybe the bible as it is useful as a historical reference to how ancient civilizations behaved/thought.

The flood and wars in the scriptures - waste of lives?

by menrov in

i have been thinking and was eventually wondering about the following:.

did the flood and all wars in the scriptures eventually bear the fruits that god hoped for?

is evil gone among humans?

Finkelstein

Would this in itself, these facts, not be enough proof that these events were not driven / organized by an almighty God?

Yes of course when one applies intellectual honesty with today's knowledge base of ancient civilizations.

This is to be expected since these stories were mythological expressions by people who had no other avenue to explain what was happening on earth and toward themselves at that time, god(s) gave that necessary answer or explanation..

Human ignorance is an indefensible fact.

When Was The First Time You Ever Got Drunk?

by 1234 in

jw
friends

i was 20 years old and at bethel for just a couple of months.

i was really depressed, as i was finding out what bethel was really all about.

i drank a whole bottle of cold duck, after a long hot subway ride back to brooklyn.

Unfortunately alcohol abuse is a problem within JWS , there is a lot oppression imposed upon JWS but the one thing they can do at least is booze it up. ........and they booze it religiously.

Do Jw's Dress up in meeting clothes for Zoom meetings?

by jeremiah18:5-10 in

i am just curious if anyone knows whether the "friends" still are required to wear "meeting clothes" for attending meetings through zoom?

such emphasis on dressing in a godly manner over the decades, would be interesting if some attend in pajamas or their work clothes, no makeup, etc....

Finkelstein

Yes the instructions are to dress up as if you are at a meeting.

Jah measures ones spiritual righteousness by the cloths and appearance one has.

Do not miss your flight!

Finkelstein

Unfortunately Jesus is going to stop this flight and let it fall to the ground for everyone aboard was a sinning false prophet charlatan, who taught and made money from preaching a false version of his Gospel.

They have should heeded his words that no one knows of the time and not to set a time upon god's own sacred time.

Buzz words

critical times so hard to deal with.

last nano second..... buy out the time.

Finkelstein

Seems odd that Jah's Faithful Slave (GB) are lying, corrupt, fear mongering charlatans, selling and teaching a false commercialized version of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why is that ?

Finkelstein

Infidelity occurs in the JWS religion like other identified religious groups, in including fornication, adultery and pedophilia.

By their clergy heads as well.

Sorry but facts are the facts.
