21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.

by James Jack in

i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.

of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.

i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

Welcome James Jack - It sounds like your Body of Elders (BOE) were like most BOE's - Modern Day Pharisees. Most likely they considered you a threat or were jealous of you and your wife, your talents and your accomplishments and they were looking for just one reason to get rid of you as an elder.

I know the feeling of being on a BOE where you know you are not wanted. I am so glad my wife and I are out. No more mind numbing meetings, no more trips to the back room. Take any of these two-bit egotistical jerks out of the congregation and they HAVE NO POWER. They are irrelevant in the real world.

Again welcome and may you find peace.

Did You Know Any Bad JWs?

by minimus in

jw
friends

over the years, i knew some individuals that were pretty bad witnesses.

they broke more commandments that most.

7Starz

Yes Blondie - You are spot on..."First and foremost, LIARS."

They smile at you while they twist the figurative knife in your back.

Jesus described them most aptly at Matthew 23:33: “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?” NIV

Do as we say, not as we do. Talk about setting the example! They need lawyers on the down low. Wonder if they have them sign a confidentiality agreement so they can't talk about what they defend...hmmm. Sounds like they're gearing up for major persecution on the legal front.

Decided to sign up...

by campaign of hate in

so i decided to sign up after many years of lurking.

started researching after finding out about ray franz, which inevitably brought me to this site.. i'm still well and truly inn, but don't want to give any information out, i'm sure you guys know the reasons.. since "jay double you .

org" came online, there has been a definite sense of hysteria with everyone who is "inn", and i get a feeling it's going to get a whole lot crazier as the years press on.. one point i would like to raise is that i feel, without a doubt, that 2034 is going to be the new finish line.

Welcome campaign of hate.

What I hate most is all the years wasted believing everything they said and printed; Being angry at myself for not researching the faith. Hating the fact that I still spent many years on the inside even after learning the TTATT.

2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith." New Living Translation

But enough of the hate. I will no longer give them time they do not deserve.

Kingdom Consolidation and Sales are coming – Reliable Source

by thedepressedsoul in

i heard form a reliable source that a kingdom hall consolidation is going to be happening in the us.

currently they are looking at every kingdom hall to see if they could and should sell it.

any kingdom hall that has not been updated and is in a bad location (long driveway, not in a visible location etc...) will be sold.

7Starz

It's coming, be prepared, hopefully there will be plenty of fall out due to the "restructuring" of congregations and more and more will wake up and see the religion for what it's really about...to quote ABBA: "Money, Money, Money, Always sunny in the rich mans world."

November 2014 WT - Points out the fact that Knorr supported false teachings.

by objectivetruth in

- it's amazing to track the confusion and stupidity contained in wt articles.

- in only one watchtower you can find multiple contradictory statements, and representations of truth that are simply lies made up on the fly.

- as an example the nov,15 2014 wt has the following quotes : -.

7Starz

This is what happens when you obey men rather than God.

Sorry if I missed it, but have you done a chart comparing the amount of times FDS is used compared to Jehovah and Jesus?

Consequences of staying on the recommended Hotel list

by Samaritan At the Well in

i wanted to share an experience i had and see if anyone else had encountered this same matter.

we always tried to make an extra effort to ensure we stood on the approved hotel lists when going to our special day conventions or district conventions or what they now call regional.

we use to stay many nights a year and i would save up my hotel points to use at a later time.. i remember checking in at popular chain hotel and asked the hotel clerk how many points would i earn for the 3 night stay?

7Starz

What really chapped us was that we were not even asked if you wanted to donate your points. It was just expected! There was no letter in advance explaining this would happen.

I could see the society getting the points if THEY were paying for our stay, but such was not the case.

The hotel seemed to have expected the guests to complain and already had preprinted forms explaining the situation. Basically the issue was not theirs but that this was part of the negotiations in advance to obtain the room rates.

This was a four star hotel. We asked friends who were staying at other hotels (not 4 star) if this was the same policy and were told that the hotels did not take their points.

Later, I asked and was told the society uses the points for bethel brothers, etc. to pay for their hotel stays.

I guess they only like to stay in nice hotels while the rest of the flock has to settle for less if they could not get a room with a finer establishment.
