  Do you think the nepotism and favoritism will stop with the appointing of elders with the new arrangement?

  by toto555 in

  do you think this is a fairer system and brothers who have never gotten a chance at being elder will finally get it since it's up to the co to decide?

  how do you think that's going to work?

  do you think the favoritism will go away or be marginalized?.

  What does money represent to YOU ?

  by new hope and happiness in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  for example does money represent to you power, love, joy and much more or does money represent to you feelings of worry, guilt, anger, sadness.. for myself i have always enjoyed living largely on little, and i can appreciate that the best things in life are free.

  having said that i am glad i have been fortunate and sensible enough with money to never have exsperienced the anxiety of debt.

  and it may sound silly but i dont think winning it big on the lottery would improve the quality of my life nor my family.

  Money can mean freedom, or a degree of it. When I was with my ex-jw elder hubby he controled all our money. When I left he kept every penny. I was jobless, homeless and had no money. I swore I would never let a man or anyone control me like that again. I now keep 1/2 of my pay check and 1/2 goes to mutual bills. My hubby does the same.

  In 5 years I saved more than my ex kept after 12 years. He wasn't into hard work, just keeping what I made. Sweet justice.

  5 years inactive and still sometimes I'm haunted.

  by ctrwtf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've lately been thinking about the pernicious nature of the belief by the jw's that they are the one and only true religion.

  how this belief allows for an egotistical world view and allows them to shun and denegrate those that do not share their opinions.. please pardon my round about thinking process as i've been mulling this rant for some time.

  while my father's side of the family has been entrenched with the jw's for two generations before him, my mother was a new convert.

  What surprising reactions have you experienced from family and friends?

  by cultBgone in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  musing over several rather eye-opening reactions i've recently experienced has made me wonder what others have been told that made them go...wow.. my earliest was a family member upset with me for not attending meetings who exclaimed, "but you're going to die at armageddon!

  " i told them that wasn't true because the bible says that god is love and he doesn't work that way.

  they were very angry with me!

  What caught my attention was being shunned when I was still "in". I lived in a small town and if I saw one they would literaly gasp and turn around. WHat ever

  Do you have a newfound thirst for self-expression after leaving the religion?

  by Apognophos in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm not even out yet and sometimes i feel like expressing my opinions loudly, wearing t-shirts with messages on them (gasp!

  ), and getting up in people's faces when they annoy me.

  sometimes the thought of a fistfight sounds appealing.
