To Mrsjones5, Freudianslip, snowbird and other folks of color

by donny in

based on the material below from the faithful and discreet slave, i was wondering if any of you experienced any of this "enlightment" during your jw sojurn.

based on your pictures, i would have to say you must have been weak in the faith.

what is puzzling though, is why did michael jackson dissassociate himself just before reaching perfection?

Lady Zombie

Obviously they didn't humble themselves and unquestionly follow the direction of the FDS!

Sheesh.

However, I am always overjoyed to read more examples of the WT's shame!

It's all still there. It sometimes takes Kool Aid Man06 (who owns Six Screens) a few days to get the new conference call sessions posted.

Relax and welcome!!!!

Experiences with so called "minorities" as JWs

by Lady Zombie in

i was thinking the other day that by and large, i had more positive experiences with black jws and other "minorities" in the borg.

not completely 100% as there are a-holes in every "race," but for the most part, the black jws were more loving, accepting, and tolerant than the white jws.. i haven't had much experience with hispanic jws but the few i've had, were pleasant.. this isn't to say that a lot of the white jws weren't kind, on the contrary, many were.

i just find it interesting that when i tally up all the negative vs. positive experiences with other jws, i haven't had many negative ones with black jws.

Of course, in all of my old congregations, there were by far more whites than any other groups.

Maybe I am wearing rose-tinted shades about this, but I'm also not pulling this observation out of thin air.

At risk of starting a heated debate, have any other whites here noticed this?

This is another blow against the WTBTS. Sure they've been careful to include pictures of minorities in their publications, but the ratio of white annoited vs. minority annoited, is very skewed. It would seem that if this was "the truth" and the WTBTS followed the teaching of Jesus, the annoited would have representatives of every race. This isn't the case.

Counselled for nodding at a df'd person

by keyser soze in

jw
friends

i remember this happening to my dad, when i was just a kid.

there was a disfellowshipped brother in the cong, whom my dad had been friends with.

before the meeting, my dad just nodded hello to him, didn't even say the word.

Lady Zombie

I used to sneak smiles at DF'd people when I was a kid. I thought I was being naughty and they usually looked so sad.

When I got older, I made it a point to speak to DF'd people if I saw them out and about like at the store.

I would feel absolutely immoral as a human being to shun someone.

What was the most laughable JW teaching??

in your opinion, what was the silliest , most laughable watchtower teaching/doctrine, since its beginning until now???.

Celebrating birthdays is wrong since John the Baptist was beheaded on Herod's birthday and Jesus never celebrated his birthday.

11-yr old wants to get baptized, father objects, elders interfere

by Bonnie_Clyde in

the mother went to the elders when the dad objected to the girl getting baptized.

this prompted a visit from the elders who counselled him for wanting to hold his child back from baptism.

this girl is immature even for an 11-year old.

Lady Zombie

Oh yeah. An 11 year old, regardless of the maturity level, has the cognitive development to understand a lifelong commitment. </sarcasm>

Sad.

The folks went out of town to the Russian District Convention.

by Lady Zombie in

jw
friends

when the iron curtain fell in the 90's, my parents went to russia with a group of other jws.

since then, they've taught themselves russian and now go over about every 3rd year.

they also work the russian territory here once a month and spend about 10 hours traveling around in a 100 mile radius.

Lady Zombie

If you're implying that I'm lying or that I don't have my facts straight, don't bother.

They went over in the 90's after the curtain fell and before the ban. They continue to go over. Notice I didn't say they go out in FS over there. Now they mainly just visit all their Russian friends.

And now since they can speak Russian semi-fluently, they're utilized in the Russian territories over here.

Why Don't Witness Parents Get Angry?

by metatron in

jw
friends

there are a great many puzzlements in regard to the meek and servile compliance of witnesses but one area has long interested me.

specifically, why don't more witness parents get angry at the do-nothing watchtower society?

i can recall one somewhat deranged elder's wife who got away with demanding to speak to the assembled body of elders because she was worried that 'all of of our kids are falling out of the truth'.

Lady Zombie

They don't get angry because the WTBTS has convinced them that if a child falls away, the fault lies within the child, not the parent and certainly not the bOrg.

The bOrg does not feel a need to provide for the cult children because "having the truth is enough." Children are expected to behave as miniture adults and sit still for 2+ hours and listen to things they don't understand. Teenagers are seen as feral beasts and can only be managed with a heavy hand.

I keep bringing this up, but when I was 14, I became severly depressed (b/c of growing up in this insane cult). Since JWs were not supposed to be depressed or have any mental health problems, some in the congregation decided I was demonized. I lost all my "friends" and instead of becoming enraged, my parents took the stance of 'they're wrong but you have to tolerate them and really, ultimately they're right.' So, I was "shunned" without being DF'd or DA'd!

That of course pushed me over the edge and I attempted suicide which made things worse.

Only when my depression abated, did these "true friends" and "spiritual brothers and sisters" talk to me again.

What bullshit.

My folks never once became angry even though 98% of what happened to me was because of the bOrg and other JWs.
