i was sent this by any elder i guess to make me forgive.
i know that it is a religious story that was made into a jw one.

.
i have it on good authority that at the recent circuit assembly it was announced from the platform that there had been reports of groups of families and friends getting together to study on family worship night and that this was not to continue as fwn is for families only and not for other brothers and sisters to get involved in.. oh, and if you live alone, then you have to study on your own, you alone are your family, you are not to join anyone else's fwn (although i'm sure they didn't mean you couldn't join your blood family's fwn....).
the level of control never ceases to amaze me...... .
Oh my God. How unbelievably sad, but I know that is true.
i think it is a scam unless someone prove me otherwise!
anyone?.
An elders wife sent this to everyone right after a meeting, sent us four of them. I emailed back and asked why she sent it. Never heard. Wonder why?

Thanks flipper.
There was really two reasons I wanted to put this on the thread was one I was really hopping someone might know the real story and second I wanted everyone to know the stupid sfuff that is going around the Wittnesses world.
To me it is just mind blogling how crazy this all is. I will talk with you latter Flipper. But this is deffently a cult. And a very scarry one at that.

The art of forgiveness
Here is an experience that is good to meditate on
It talks about a young 22 yr old pioneer brother that was out in service.
He went to a door and the householder showed irritation at his presence.
The man told him to wait and he came back armed and shot the brother.
The brother died there. During his trial, the man said that he hated Jehovah's Witnesses and had warned that he would kill the first person to knock on his door.
The man was found guilty and was sentenced to prison. Years later he was released and went back to live in the same house. The brothers in
the congregation were warned and avoided preaching at that house.
But there was a brother that desired to visit that house again. He was advised against it, but he insisted and was given permission to visit the house.
The brother figured that time spent in prison had changed the man. So he went to the murderers home. The man was very surprised to see him
and asked him if he knew that he had killed a witness before. The brother said he did know and this surprised the man. He was curious to know
the kind of man capable of knocking on his door so he invited the brother in and a Bible study was started.
The months passed and the truth became clear to the man. He came to know a God capable of forgiving even the most serious sins. His spiritual progress was evident, but at the invitation of attending the Kingdom Hall, the man declined. He said he couldn't go to the Hall if the parents of the young brother he had killed were not able to forgive him also. The brother told him, "It's not necessary.
Jehovah has forgiven you. He doesn't keep account of what you did before you knew the truth." Even so, the man was reluctant to accept the invitation to the Hall. He insisted in needing the forgiveness from the father of the young brother he had killed.
Otherwise he would not go to the Hall. The brother asked him, "Do you really need that? Do you really need the father of the young man to forgive you?"
When the man told him he did, the brother said to him, "Consider yourself forgiven because I am the father of that young man you killed." Today, both are serving in the same congregation and yearn for the day when Jehovah will bring back to life that young man in the resurrection. The discourse concluded shortly after this, showing the value of genuine forgiveness. Certainly that experience touched the hearts of all that heard it. It's difficult, but not impossible, the art of forgiveness.
any of you remember what was exactly the first thing that crossed your eyeballs to lead you into doubting the wts?.
Pedphiles, pedophiles going out in service with out an elder only their wife or just a young teenager, pedophiles holding children in the Kingdom Hall. Pedophiles coducitng field service, just really pedophiles, pedophiles, pedophiles, It truly is a pedophiles parardise
well- this sad news of the girl being murdered and raped in tracy , california motivated me today to leave ap news releases of the wt child abuse out of court settlements of 16 jw victims in car windshields today of jw's who had gone out in field service.
for what it's worth i went to 3 different kingdom halls in 2 towns.
left about 8 on different cars at one kingdom hall, and 5 at another and 7 at another.. you just never know what may happen.
Right on I think it will do some good. Even if just one reads it it will be worth it. Thanks
this topic is in sympathy for all jehovah's witnesses visiting this site who have had bad experiences after they left the jws and went out into the world.
i've heard many ex-jehovah's witnesses saying, "well, i went into the world and found nothing but trouble!!
people were mean to me!
Reniaa is 'special'.... I totally agree. vs77
i was just reading a thread where someone was "seated" next to the same people year after year at memorial.. is this "seating" only done at memorial?.
are you allowed to have a preference to seat yourself?.
is there an unspoken mandatory seating arrangement?.
It just depends on how early you get there. Get there early enough and you can sit anywhere, latter and they seat you. My deleted elder husband because he stood up to a pedophile in the hall and would not let the pedo hit him wanted to get there late, I knew I would be stuck in the back with even more nut case then ever so made him get there early at least we could choose our seats.
as most of you know my wife was feeling guilty about our pre-marital hanky panky so she got the elders involved and now i guess feels better about it all, yadda yadda yadda.. so now i've opened a previously closed door in our marriage- something i had done in the past with "worldly" girls i dated- but not her.. let's just say it's frowned upon in wt-land but for some reason she's been following me around like a puppy lately.
and she reciprocates.. wonder if she'll be too embarrassed to confess this one.
or too happy.
The elders won't report it to the cops if it happens to a child but they would probably rat you out.
Amen to that one. We have two pedophiles in our hall they hold children and all of it that. The Elders think it is just great look the pedo is helping the mom's they need help that is what I am told. But boy if you have oral sex OH MY GOD!!! they'ed DF you in a New York minute.
And for those of you out there that say call the police and do this and that what do you think I have not done that!!!!!! Yeh I have called the police, talkd to the CO written to Bethel, you name it I have done it and has it done a damn thing. NO!!! The elders lie. All the publisher are convinced that I am the nut case. Oh is't it so great brother pervert just looooves kids so much and elder sicko thinks he is the greatest. We have such a great religion, yah no peodophiles here.
Pedophile paradise is an understatment.
