  Paranoia after today's Watchtower

  by Truthexplorer in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  boy oh boy did i feel paranoid at today's wt.

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  WT says that the "spiritual paradise" is supposed to supercede the family bonds. At the same time, everyone in the "spiritual paradise" is supposed to be paranoid and watch out for everyone else.

  i just wanted to say that my dear 89 year old mom is terminally ill and will soon pass.

  she is on morphine and hanging on.

  she has been a devout witness for about 60 years and a wonderful mother.

  Jehovah's Chariot slams into reverse!

  by apocalypse in

  the question i will be asking dubs at the hall this week is, "since jesus is directing the slave.... why has he done a 180..?".

  last sunday we studied how jesus is directing the slave to build an average of 5 kingdom halls a day since 2000. why has he changed his mind and gone in the completely opposite direction?.

  if this 'change' is not securely lodged in their craw by the time i am through, then i will eat my hat..

  "Do you think this means that the Org will be giving back all the money which they got from the congregations for the purpose of building Kingdom Halls?" - The Searcher

  
  

  Excellent question!

  How are you spreading TTATT?

  by vinman in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering if anyone has used any underhanded ways of spreading ttatt.

  i mean, has anyone made up business cards or tracts and spread them far and wide?

  i would love to engage in this "alternative witnessing".

  Elderly widows targeted, convinced to sign over Power of Attorney and Personal Representative of Estate

  by Stop.the.abusers in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i discovered that my 96-year-old grandaunt had named her jw elder as personal representative of her estate and another jw "best friend" as her power of attorney.

  i learned that they used a financial advisor at wells fargo advisors to help raid my grandaunts bank accounts in the years before her death, and then the wt and jws received most of what was left of her estate.

  i am currently working on a book to expose this horrific practice.

  Nanette - I'm sorry to hear about what your grandaunt has been through.

  I like the suggestion from ABibleStudent.

  hi all :) been a looooong time since i've been around.

  anyways, i was wondering if the kingdom hall reno/upgrade scam is going on in australia as well?

  the hall where i live apparently needs a complete gut and redo (admittedly the decor was horrid).

  Remember the two elderly sisters?

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  about a month ago i posted what had happened to two elderly sisters who were reprimanded by a couple of elders for crying because the jw broadcasting was going to be stopped at the kingdom hall and it was up to each publisher to learn how to use the internet.

  if you recall the sisters got together with my mom and talked about it and it resulted in all of them declining to make meals for the pioneers.

  here is the link.

  I don't usually sing at the meetings. (I just stand up holding the tablet.) Last week, when I saw the words, royal commission, in the songbook, I sang my own version in the second verse.

  "Oh what penalties there will be

  for leading the commission astray

  twenty thousand dollar fine

  or five years in the brig"
