  Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  fourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.

  my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.

  the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

  Wise counsel for JW's in latest WT

  by BoogerMan in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  june 2023 study watchtower p. 13, par 15 - “we will not be fooled if we “make sure of or, “test” all things.”...we need to test what we hear or what we read to determine whether it is genuine.....instead of naively accepting what others the org say, we use our thinking ability to compare what we read or what we hear with what the bible and jehovah’s organization say.”.

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  "So I wonder how much of the depression and illness is the result of abusive home life,"

  Probably all the time.

  Most children of Jehovah's Witnesses followers in Japan have been whipped, survey shows

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/03/15/national/jehovahs-witnesses-whipping/.

  the most cited reason was “napping or talking during congregations.” others included “answering back to parents” and “playing with a schoolmate.”.

  some respondents said they have been suffering depression as a result of whipping.. “i still cannot forget the sight of children screaming after they were taken into a large room at a congregation when i was a child,” a 44-year-old victim said, stressing that jehovah’s witnesses should reflect on what followers have done.. in february, a group of lawyers started supporting those second-generation followers.. in a statement issued on march 1, the japanese branch of jehovah’s witness said it does not accept child abuse.. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20230315/p2a/00m/0na/006000c.

  Actually, being raised a JW in itself is child abuse.

  What Will JW's Do If They Find Themselves Still Conscious after Death?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all know that despite many scriptures to the contrary, jw's believe that when they die, their consciousness will cease.

  my question is this: what will be the likely reaction of jw's if they find themselves conscious after death?.

  The WT Borg corporation breeds "confustion".

  On one hand you have the Borganization manipulating the sheeple with the ''end, the end, the end'', or ''bib A, bigA'' on which the goalposts are constantly pushed back. While you hear about this mass buildiing projects,,, planned years in advance, WTF?

  So, when the sheeple awaken in the afterlife,,,,welll confused,,,perhaps?? No body has ever come back to relate this.

  or,,,it will be some cathartic or placebo effect suddenly people will have some grand enlightenment. The Borg has continuously flip - flopped on it's doctrines, proving it doesn't know what it's talking about.

  If anything, the Borg is masters of confusion. To say the least.

  '' Not sure if she was crazy, but she sure looked it. ''

  Probably was crazy, having a panic attack, going nuts or probably all 3.

  JWs confused when they realize they're conscious after death? Why....the GB has admitted they "err on doctrinal matters". Confused would be an understatement.

  They'd probably panic and ask for the GB's direction.
