  What word of comfort was offered to those who had believed the nonsense?

  The GB never apologize and they never repent for their mistakes (SINS). I have never heard of the GB openly confessing their sins as Christians are instructed. (James 5:16) Their sins are many and yet they do not repent. Certainly they don't resemble Christians but a corporation trying to protect its image and assets. James 5:16
  

  Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

  She is a religious fanatic so she doesn't understand your point of view.

  Do Jws help disfellowshipped ones or apostates?

  by haujobbz in

  1. jw

  .

  do you think that, if say you fell over and and seriously injured yourself in the street, would a jw you knew passing by help you knowing that you were disfellowshipped or so called apostate.

  maybe even come to see you at home if you were unwell or depressed,i mean how many witnesses have assisted or helped you when you needed it mostly,you see i thought they were supposed to encourage you to become so called spiritually stronger.but saying that when you were active as a jw do you think you were helped in times of distress or illness by your fellow jw,for instance i know a woman who's still a witness but hasnt been to meetings for say a year and thats because she has severe athritis and guess what only 1 j-dub has wrote to her so to her it seems like if your not a regular at meeting you may as well be classed as disfellowshipped.

  If Jaws help DF'd or apostate ones they must do it in secret. Any contact would be considered contamination. So, the opportunity is not always presented.

  I have this friend who needs some advice...

  by Hmmm in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i have a friend named uhhh... timmm, who is in a bit of a quandary.

  he has decided to go public with his apostate leanings, because it is becoming too hard to play the role of a meek, spiritually weak witness--complete with looks of pity and concern from his mother and siblings, and contempt from his sister-in-law.

  timmm is sure one brother will have nothing to do with him after this, and he can live with that.

  If it does the individual good to stay in the org then why rock their world!

  These are some questions he may ask himself about the situation.

  Is it harming these individuals to remain and how so?

  Are they having difficulties as a result of their dysfunctional relationship with the WT?

  Would they consider seeking treatment for co-dependency and/or other related psychological issues?

  Are these individuals capable of living in reality without suffering from depression and frustration.

  Some of us are realists and some live in the dub concept of reality. I believe most apostates are realists and dubs for life are not capable of living in reality.

  It's because most JWs live in "LA LA Land" and not reality.

  Should WTS Charge Interest?

  by Amazing in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i first became accounts servant (before the elder/ms structure) i was surprised to learn that the watchtower society charged interest on kingdom hall loans.

  the rate was 3%.

  typical interest rates from commercial lenders on home mortgages at the time was about 6% to 7% ... i questioned the practice, and the jw man who turned to accounts records over to me made the point that inflation was about 3% or 4%, and therefore, the soceity was merely getting back the same buying power it had when it loaned the money ... and it beat bank rates, so he saw nothing wrong with it.

  Amazing what do other religions do about borrowing for building? My understanding was that the KH building fund was supposed to be used for those that can't afford to build. Let alone pay back a loan for the building. Perhaps they use the extra monies outside the US.

  In all fairness, I know someone that donated about $5000 dollars to the WT. When her non-JW husband discovered she had given so much he was furious. She asked for the money back and they returned it even though she hadn't requested the loan condition to her donation.

  Notice to GB - She became our little Girl!

  by Amazing in

  2. friends

  notice to the governing body: today, as the arrest was discussed in the news media by officer corona, the sherrif of orange, county, california, speaking of samantha runion, he said to the accused, "mr. avila, she became our little girl!

  " ... yes, the police, public and media joined forces to find the girl and the perpetrator ... as though she was their own daughter.

  that is what we call community committment, love, and concern.

  Amazing blowing me away again! Lyin Eyes...you have astounded me with your observation. You are truly a sweet lady. I would have been drawn to you in a JW congregation because you have been one of the few Christians in the room. Lyin says:

  Wouldn't it be loving, if the elders handling such cases, along with the parents , put their hand on the childs shoulder to give comfort , like Jesus did? If they did this maybe the child wouldn't grow up to think that he/she was unworthy of a kind word or compassion.
