  At what point did you realize JW's were a Cult?

  by Think About It in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  most of us x-jw's at one point no doubt defended the jw's when called a cult.

  althought being out since 95', when i first came here it took awhile before i could use the cult word to describe the jw religion.

  finding out about the pedophile scandal was disgusting, but it was probably finding out here about the wts history and terrible personal experiences of some on this board that made me finally admit that the jw's were a cult.

  Freemasonry and Jehovah's Witnesses

  2. bible

  i've read alot of posts here regarding jw's and freemasonry, and so far i've seen the usual conjecture by non-masons, and a few well written opinions of the inquiring minds among us.. i'm a former jw from texas, and a current freemason in houston.

  my question is:.

  what specifically does the wts say as far as masonic membership.

  It might not have huge tires, but I would bet if you looked close something would apear huge.

  IT WOULD MAKE THE MEETINGS LESS BORING IN ANY EVENT.

  They have changed their definition of apostacy. you know longer have to discuss your views with anyone to be an apostate. They consider you an apostate if you do not believe everything that the wbts tells you to believe. orwellian huh. they are in every sense of the word the thought police

  Be very careful with leaving your apeal till the last second the eldes have been known in the past to delay the paperwork so that the time limit is up. send your apeal certified mail return reciept requested next daay mail. make sure you send opies to both the elders and your branch office. You might also want to consider putting some kind of threat about legal action . That will slow he process down.

  I had a horrible experience with Bank of America yesterday. I needed to deposit cash in my checking account in order to cover a check I had written to cover my mortgage. Bank of America has decided to close many of their full service banks and replace them with new fangled ATM machines. These new machines allow you to deposit cash. However in their infinite wisdom you no longer have a deposit slip or envelope to make the deposit. You just feed the stack of bills into the deposit slot and the machine counts the cash and records the deposit amount. If you agree with what the machine counts you press yes and it issues you a receipt. If however you do not agree the machine is supposed to return your cash. Well the ATM machine I was depositing to malfunctioned. Not only did it not count the deposit (2700.00 $) correctly it could not return the cash. It spit out a receipt saying sorry not all of your items could be processed or returned. Please contact your financial institution, I panicked I guarded the ATM with my life and called the number they gave on the receipt. Well of course I got an automated response. Enter this code; enter account #: DOB; etc. I finally got a human who said they do not handle such claims; they would transfer me to the appropriate department. OK they transfer me to claims. Another Automated response enter this enter that the voice drones on. Ok we are getting somewhere I think. The machine says it is transferring me. The next sound I get out of the phone then tells me the number is no longer in service. I then redial the first number and have to go through the entire process again. This time however I insist that the human I finally get manually transfers me to the claims department and stay on the line till I get a human. I finally talk to the claims person who at first said she would send me a claims form and I would eventually get credited. I say unacceptable and remind her that cash deposits under federal law requires that cash deposits must immediately get credited. She puts her supervisor on the phone that agrees with me and issues me the temporary credit. The funniest thing about the whole thing is what the supervisor said to me as she was apologizing. She saysBank of America has had excellent success with these ATMs and their ability to take cash deposits. We process millions of deposits a day this way and our success rate is 95 %. WTF that means millions are being stuck in cyber hell each year.
