  "But there are always new ones coming in"

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if you've read, seen and heard as many sickening statements uttered by watchtower leaders as i have, you'll probably agree you tend to get jaded by them after a while:.

  russell claiming his books were more important than the bible.

  rutherford boasting that armageddon coming in 1925 was as certain as the flood of noah and virtually "indisputable.".

  YOu are so right.

  Pedphiles, pedophiles, pedophiles. They do not care who get hurts only that they look good. So no one can know who the pedoplile brother is. Just so their name looks good only numbers that is all they care about.

  The Realization That You Are Going To Die

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you can't help but feel bad for many long time jehovah's witnesses who believed that "the end" was "right around the corner".

  these oldtimers recognize that everyrhing they preached about was wrong regarding the "generation".

  they know that they are going to die.

  To me it is so very sad. I believed so much that I would not die and I married an older man thinking I will have life forever so what. Now I face the fact that I will live alone with no family and no friends. It is sad.

  I so clearly remember one brother who gave a talk and said that this is not the real life we need to not even enjoy this life and only think of what the new world holds then we can enjoy life. Just try to get throught each day and not enjoy it. What a waste of what God gave us but I bought into it. I thought that was true. I did not enjoy life because I was not supposed to. I felt guilty when I did. What Lie all of this is and how said.

  Did YOU Really Care about "The Friends"?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  honestly, did you really care about everyone in your hall?.

  everyone gripes about how the majority of elders never cared but were you one who regularly showed how much you cared for the "brothers and sisters"?

  i'll bet we all share some guilt in this.

  When I was younger I cared about everyone. I always wondered why everyone didn't care about me.

  It's still a problem, in that I care about almost everyone I meet, and wonder why they don't care about me. It's been a tough road to learn how to be cynical.

  I ditto that I just do not understand. I have always tried to help people yet when I needed a ride to the meetings I was expected to give gas money or no ride. When I did not have the money to give I walked three miles and no one cared. It just blows my mind

  Hated it. Always hated it. As a kid I thought you have to be kidding me it seemed so fake. Always has been a pet peeve of mine.

  Had three now only two. Both love children. One is very passive and one very agressive. Not even all the elders know and the ones that do have forbiden any one to tell. So no parents know. I know only because the agressive one dated my sister and he is evile that is how I found out about the passive one. The passive one is so loving. One elder in is talks keeps call him a gental gaint. This man is very loving especially to single moms. Both pedophiles have remarried JW woman with small children and both these woman knew that they were pedophiles. The passive one had JW woman fighting over him. One woman had three little girls and was dying to marry him. Makes you sick. The wives encourage these men to hold and be with children. I just do not get it. These woman have to be as sick as the men.

  in your experience, are witnesses all about love?.

  is the brotherhood really what it is said to be?.

  did you feel the love from "the friends"?.

  No

  No

  No

  There is no love only for pedophiles. My husband an elder had an heart attack and only about 6 of the friends came to the hospital visit. One sister works at the hospital and she could not even come up from her office to say hi. One elders wife stayed the first day with me and took me to dinner the next night. Here I am an elders wife mind you. One young couple was very kind. But he was in ICU for three nights. I needed the friends so bad and never got them. I woman I work with her husband had a heart attack and she had memebers from her church there with her 24/7. He sadly died and over 1000 were at he memoral. If my husband had died I wonder if I could have even used the Kingdom Hall to hold his memoral. There just is no love. We have two pedophiles in our hall and oh man do they love them, I mean it. The elders are all over them encouraging them everything. I am like what in the world. I just do not get it.
