  Don't you forget that ELDERS will still be there to LEAD them, those who become WEAK or INACTIVE will still be DF'd.

  How's that for a NEW SYSTEM OF THINGS!!!

  so i'm daydreaming through the service meeting last night, (the end of the "supermeeting") and the ms is giving a part on always being ready to defend our faith.

  blah blah blah.....you know the drill.

  so he invites up a brother to do the demo part.

  They always talk bad about politicians, yet they are not different,...they are diplomatic (not answering questions),....

  they lie,...they think they are elite,...they promise fantasy and concept,...they like using rhetoric speeches,...they criticise their opponents ("CHRISTENDOM, ROMAN CATHOLIC, etc,etc")-not intellectual criticism,....

  Why do JW's hate EX-JW'S more than WORLDLIES?

  by african GB Member in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  do they feel intimidated by the fact that ex-jw's know all about the way they function as an organization?

  (well except what happens at the "back room" and at gb decision making meetings)..... is it because they can still "catch" worldlies?.

  ...or is it because ex-jw's could poison those still in "the truth"?.

  I was in a mall the other day when I saw one of the ELDERS who conducted my JC,...he made sure I was watching when he completely ignored me and in the processes he happened to meet a WORLDLY man who lives 2 blocks down from my house, he shook this man's hand, smiled at him while he kept his eye at me to make sure I was aware....

  Now my question is: Is this realy the way the Bible says DF'd individuals should be treated?

  What about when the FLOCK says they (ELDERS) should visit a DF'd person ones a year?( well I don't want them to visit me, but I am just worried they don't follow the rules and regulations set by the GB)

  Has anyone here ever had a visit from the ELDERS while DF'd or DA'd?......just want to find out for the record.....

  Now Some Witnesses Are Buying Backpacks To Get Ready For The Great Tribulation!

  by minimus in

  some witnesses are making sure they're ready for the great day.

  i've heard certain family members are getting supplies ready including 5 gallons of water, cans of food that can be opened without a can opener, and other "survival" stuff.

  they have figured that since the awake (i think) reported how the "friends" got ready for hurricane katrina, they too must be ready for survival when the storm of armageddon rains down.. what will they think of next?.

  Will animals survive the GT?....what criteria will be used to determine those that make it through?

  Will pets belonging to EX-JW's get destroyed together with their keepers?

  What about ants and coackraches living in EX-JW houses?

  Will EX-JW infants survive the GT?

  Is there gonna be enough highly skilled personnel (engineers) to carry out rebuilding work?( as far as I know JW's are NOT encouraged to aquire such skills,....Will Jehovah keep some of the WORLDLY engineers to help JW's rebuild? ( will he thereafter kill them and destroy them permanently?)

  Do you REALLY know how crazy J. Rutherford was?

  below is an interview with the drunken, pipe-dreamin, selfish, psychopathic bastard back in 1930.. the interview with j.f.

  rutherford that appeared in the sun diego sun, march 15, 1930. .

  "but how will you identify king david or any of the other representatives from god?

  It is so shocking that we only learn about Judge Rutherford's behaviour and the house that he built for the "returning Prophets"( Beth-Sarim), from those who left "the truth" eg. Mr Ray Franz....

  Why is this information not available in any of JW literature?

  They could have atleast revealed only minor details and maybe even put some "salt" to justify his actions...

  "Proclaimers" book would have been an ideal publication as it deals mainly with the history of JW's...

  It affected the way I socialise with and handle myself around people, it also put a strain on my communication skills.

  Does Coming To This Site Make You Feel Better?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recognized, when i first started searching the web, that there are tons of information regarding jehovah's witnesses.

  most is negative toward the religion.. coming onto jwd/jwn gives one a different perspective.

  you get to interact with those thinking about leaving, those who have already left and even some who never were in the cult but are fascinated by the experiences of those that were in the "truth".. when you are on this site, how does it affect you??

  I can interact with people who understand "JW lingo" without having to explain myself over and over again,...like "this system of things"

  -" new light"

  -"the end"

  -"judicial committe"

  -"spiritually weak"

  etc, etc
