  Ask a JW what they believe is an absolute requirement to get to the new order.

  Faith in Jesus as their lord and savior, or being a member in good standing of the Jehovah's Witness organization?

  They would hedge and say both of course, but in reality Jesus is a footnote in their doctrinal teachings.

  Not only that, Jehovah told them the end was coming, in just six short years.

  That alone proves to me that no such appointment ever happened.

  Any elders out there? How to Local needs talks work?

  by Letts Party in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  so a local needs talk was lovingly given at our hall last week that i'm positive targeted me specifically.

  it had to do with missing meetings for work.

  they even had a demo on what we should do if our boss asks us to stay overtime on a meeting night (basically say "no" and risk losing your great job which you have no desire whatsoever to lose)... so i'm aware that there's a sort of protocol the elders follow when someone in the hall needs to work on something.

  Still a MS?

  Again, a great reason to step down.

  "Brothers, after last weeks local needs part, I realize that I am not an exemplary servant and must step down until my employment situation improves". Then shut your mouth and do not allow them any wiggle room to talk you into staying.

  You gotta stick it to these guys when the opportunity drops right into your lap.

  Do you think the GB ever mentions these abuse cases directly?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  the title says it all, do you think that the gb will ever bring up these cases in their literature or in a talk?

  i'm not talking about them just mentioning "persecution" i'm talking about actually bringing up child abuse cases and trying to justify it.. or will it just remain the elephant in the room until years have passed?.

  How many topics have they come clean about in the past?

  After 1975 they blamed the troops in 1976. A mealy mouthed semi apology that wasn't really an apology finally came 5 years later. That is the only thing I ever remember they sort of admitting was wrong.

  Otherwise they just revise history.

  The topic may be discussed by the whole body or just among the CBOE and the person giving the talk. If it was an actual marking talk then in theory it should have been agreed upon by the whole body.

  If the talk was strongly worded, the gist is to get the rest of the congo to informally shun you because of your selfish decision to support yourself and your family instead of attending brainwashing sessions. If its well known that you are the target of the talk, expect your JW social life to drop to near zero, hopefully that won't break your heart!

  Sounds to me like the perfect opportunity to "be stumbled" and quit the meetings altogether. If the elders call later, you can say how it really hurt your feelings that they would talk about you like that in front of the whole hall instead of lovingly counseling you in person, privately.
