  family didn't donate

  a friend told me recently that he isn't having much if anything ever to do again with his siblings, his spouse passed away, and yet none of his brothers and sisters have donated a dime to help with the funeral costs or anything else, the siblings didn't even send flowers to the funeral.

  he is saing that's it, they have been written off of his list to ever help if and when they have this problem.

  the siblings aren't even jdubs.

  OTWO no not even a card, which like i said pisses him off cause when one sibling lost a child he donated big time to help them out, he is or was always helping them out when in time of need. They are all better off than he is, he is retired and on a fixed income, and now is really cutting corners to try and pay off the funeral costs and make ends meet. when another siblings spouse died he again helped out sent card and money to help with expenses for both parties and now when its their turn so to speak they blow him off. He wont be getting any insurance her health wouldn't ever let her get any so he is on the dole for all of it. And yes they all live away from him but my gosh, It is people like me that are trying to help and it pisses me off too to say the least. Now he knows.

  scully: well for sure what didn't come around this time will bite them in the arse when they lose a spouse thats for sure he is finally waking up to their lack of care now.

  Since early Christians used the Septuagint that is the only thing that 2 Tim. 3:16 could refer to as possibly "inspired." hope that answers your thoughts on the subject.

  From the Watchtower of February 1, 1989 pp. 27-30

  "In the third century B.C.E., Jewish scholars in Alexandria, Egypt, produced the Greek Septuagint version the Hebrew

  Scriptures, which came to be use by Greek-speaking Jews all over the world. In time the Jews stopped using it, but it became

  the Bible of the early Christian congregation. When Christian Bible writes quoted from the sacred Hebrew Scripotures, they used

  the Septuagint. The Chester Beatty papyri of the Hebrew Scripotures include 13 pages of the book of Daniel in the Septuagint.

  How long do JWs visit before giving up?

  by skeeter1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's like, how many people does it take to screw in a lightbulb...... so, i dropped by someone's house last weekend this person was raised in the watchtower cult, and has been around it for several decades.

  nice person, but not active in the meetings, never in service, and never baptised, etc.

  rarely goes to the meetings - perhaps once every 2 months.

  I'mjust waiting to see when or if I get a visit told several of them 2 MS for sure that i wont be going back to their hall for a variety of reasons one being the total lack of support we have gotten. No visits no calls nada, zip zero zilch. Told them we wont go to their hall anymore and wont visit another one for some time.

  Eff my JW (former) family and freinds... Eff em all

  by AZheat in

  2. friends

  i am sitting here writing this posting as a way of venting for all the frustration that i have been building up over the years of slavery to this beast called the wbts... i was a born in, and was denied all the normal things in life, i always felt left out as a kid, and even as a young adult.

  i was the only jw for most if not all of my school years, i was harrased, mocked, teased, and even pushed around, because i was taught to stand up for what i beleive in.

  th problem was, i didnt beleive it, i always felt there was something not right about the org.

  Those in the org are very conditinal friends, no dtd no friends, no kotowing to the mindless babble from brooklyn no friends, lose a spouse in death and to them you are as dead too. The idea of true love just doesn't exist in their cultic universe.

  Anyone wanna place a bet on what will happen to me when I have to go to the Kingdom Hall this Saturday??

  by Coffee House Girl in

  well since there is no "betting" (as it reeks of gambling) in jdub land, lets place a friendly wager on what will happen to me when i go to my father's "memorial" service at the kingdome hall this saturday..... to give you newbies background info: i am neither df'd or da'd- i left 2 years ago with no explanation.

  i have been hounded by elders in my cong because they have suspicions that i am living with a man, but they have no proof (well, no proof in jdub land- you know...two witness rule).

  after many attempts to get me to meet with them- i finally sent the elders a "cease & desist" letter after one of them spied in my miniblinds to see me eating breakfast with someone (they couldn't identify who).

  "B" they will try and love bomb you even though they don't give a s**t about you unless of course it is to try and get you back in their prison.
