Ya know with there stand on the blood issue ya wonder if that brother who vomited for 90 days stopped vomiting cause he died. I remmeber when they used to give crazy example of people enduring at the assemblies, ya don't hear too many of them anymore. Maybe people started facted checking.. and why was that kid beat up cause he WON"T pray??

My Wife is demanding that I stop coming to this board.
by garyneal inokay, i am in a bit of a dilemma.
since i believe in honesty between marriage mates, i have been telling my wife about this board and my participation on it.
i feel it is only right so that she won't feel like i have anything to hide.

Next time she tells you to stop hanging out with people you don't know and never met. tell her to stop reading the WT literature..cause she doesn't even know the NAMES for the GB..and I'm sure she never personally met one let alone all..

Honesty in Field Service Reports....This week's CBS topic (among others)
by Open mind inthis week's congregation "bible" study.
the drone running the show asked an auxiliary question (tm):.
"so, what could be some of the consequences if people weren't honest in reporting their field service?".

Well one problem is there is no set standard for WHEN your in the ministry.. some people will ONLY count the time that they personally are at the door. (I knew a sister who did that..) others count time when the leave there house. Ususally doing a call along the way to the hall before you go over the text. Others won't count a break, coffee or potty. Other will sit in teh coffee shop for 30 minutes at least eatting donuts and drinking coffee with mag sitting next to them so "people know who we are!" (never understood that, so people no witness eat donuts like pigs..yeah great recuitment image there. So in the end the time tally is already off. Cause they maybe TOLD to keep accurate records, but no one really knows how! lol What pissed me off was the time the whole family was sick then vacation and we missed like every meeting for a month. Not one person called to check up on us, though later they told us they missed us. LOL and no elder called. Well til it was the end of the month to get our field service report. Never said one word about how we were, barly a "HI" just wanted the numbers.
Can ya feel the love???

Yeah ya know it's sad but it wasn't a Bible study til I went on a study with someone. And I rememeber the sister explaining that the literature was a "bible study aid". as the study went on I realized what BS that was. Cause an "AID" is like a dictionary, you use it to assist with your learning. But in there studies the BIBLE was the Publication Aid. Sad that it had to be THAT far into to start noticing something wasn't right. Still scares me how easily I fell for that stuff. Only left me with a heighten sence of paranoia....

I overheard a nauseating conversation . . .
by 144001 ini was in the produce section of a local market, when i happened to overhear the following comment: "we celebrate christ's birth every day of the year, not just on christmas!
" i turned and knew the nature of the source of the comment immediately, judging by the polyester pantsuit and delusional "deer in headlights" look on her face.
her companion replied, "but i like celebrating christmas and don't see anything wrong with it.

see the thing is WORLDLY parents ALSO buy there kids presents all year round. THey make it sound like the only time kids get ANYTHING at all is on christmas and there birthday! REALLY??? I honestly hardly got anything, sides toys when I was really young. After I was old enough for an allowance I had to use that to buy my own toys. And even then I couldn't buy what I wanted. No water pistols...though once I had a water pistol shaped like a Banana..which I find kinda hysterical when I think about the subtext of that and all. I knew and elders family who had a "big present day" it was on the day before the kids went back to school from christmas vacation. Yup big difference!!

I'm starting to tell on my husband
by tiffy0212 inyesterday a brother called the house and asked for my husband.
i told him i'm sorry he is doing his study and i will not call him to the phone.
i told him we do not talk to each other and he would have to call him back around 11:30. he called back around 11:40 and sure sounded different then his first call.

Tiff all I can say is he can't walk on you if you don't lay down and let him.
Elders don't care how he treats you I'm sure, cause your not "in the group" and lord knows what he says about you to them. I'm even heard of ELDERS making tapes of there wives after they got them all worked up and agry to tell on them and make themselve look good. So I agree, if it's that bad, obviously he doesn't really love you..wipe the dust off your feet and move on. You have to be your own advicate, he obviously won't be and the elders won't be either, in there mind it's all your fault. Stupid old boys club.

Last Nights Mtg. "Demonstrate Personal Interest" (New Bible Students Beware)
by WalkTall insometimes it just hits you how cold and unfeeling this religious corporation is.. last night there was a part in the kingdom ministry about helping new bible studies.
in one paragraph it mentioned how the new student might cut ties with former associates because they are not living by bible principles.
it says that their families might disown them.

yeah they show personal interest til that person gets baptised, then they ignore them like everyone else and fuss over the new bible study.. Got to love it..

Does The Name "Jehovah" Bother You?
by minimus inif you believe in "god" do you avoid using the name "jehovah"?
even if you don't accept a god, does using that name "jehovah" disturb you in any way?.

Minimus is right in what he said. The name doesn't bother me as much as the lack of title when they use it. Jehovah GOD or SOMETHING. Instead they say there on the first name basis with the most powerful being in the universe. But every single person in the congregation has a TITLE. Brother or Sister. And they ALWAYS use it. Even knew one sister who used Brother infront of a FIRST NAME. I find it very disrespectful to use the name so casually like they do. No where in the bible can they point to anyone using the name casually consistantly like they do. To them he is just another average Joe apparently. Where as the GB are the ones with the all intimadating title.

Does anyone find it too painful to read the WTS publications?
by dissed inbeen out 13 years and even for research purposes, i find it way too painful to read this wt stuff.. and why?.
all the painful memories it brings back.
don't misread me, it has nothing to do with a guilty conscience.. it has to do with the real pain, the anger of being ripped off and lied too by the wts, the anger of seing how they have protected child molesters, sacrificed its followers by refusing blood transfusions, the treacherous way we and others were treated by the 'unloving brothers'.

Yeah, I remember when I was young, I used to read it thinking. "ok I can't wait til I get older! Then I can read the adult verision!" then I grew up and realized it WAS the adult verison. To me it is like reading some childrens story. It's laughable, especially when they try to say that reading the literture was like getting a college education. Sure if that degree is writing childrens stores with grammar designed for 5 year olds to understand, maybe.
