  Loving sister passed away and guess what and elder said...?

  by suavojr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the cycle continues.... two weeks ago a loving and fragile sister passed away due to her age and chronic health, she only had one son and 2 grandsons.

  (she was the only jw in her family)when my wife gave me the sad news we immediately went over to the hospital to give some words of comfort to the grieving family.. .

  what happened next was another cruel example of works for salvation vs. good deeds from love.

  And that my friend is one of the things that make the JW religion a cult.

  Further example that the WTS is nothing but a Cult. They are run by a Legal Dept, and are trying to avoid doing right by the child victims of their idiotic pedophile defending policies. They could have come clean with this shit years ago when it was exposed, and done right by the victims & policies, but they didn't because the WTS is a man-made, man-run, religious cult organization.

  i have heard it all now, or at least up to now, the borg never ceases to surprise me.

  so when jesus was talking to his deciple from the cross (opps stake), "this is your mother" or something like that, was he talking about the borg?

  lol.

  I have never heard the Borg referred to as mother, perhaps it's a regional thing.

  It's more a nut thing. Depends what nuts were in your KH or visiting, and if you were around them when they called the Borg Mother.

  Even when I was still in I hated hearing people call the WTS Organization "Mother". It was usually from JW's who thought they were more theocratic than others. I thought it sounded cultish, long before I realized the JW's were a cult.

  Thank you so much for your kind words of welcome.

  Fran.....you should start an introduction post. Many people will not see a new person on this thread. Many people would like to say welcome and hear a little about you. Just a recommendation.

  Goodsoul......you should start an introduction post also, to let people know you are new and posting now.

  To be honest though I think I just nodded dumbly for over thirty years and just accepted without question,but I think we were a kinder organisation then,I think now this organisation is about control and thats just wrong!! Sorry to rant on,its like for the first time I can speak without fear.

  Welcome to the board Franticfran. You will be fine posting. No one will know. Many people had the same feelings as you before they left the WTS.

  Weird rumor I heard - JWs in Sweden

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard this from a "friend of a friend of a friend...." at least 3 or 4 intermediate steps before i heard it.. so it is likely distorted, but i'll throw it out there in case someone in or near sweden can clarify it.. .

  i heard that the wts branch in sweden instructed all jws there to "get rid of" all (empahasized all) of their printed literature, and rely exclusively on the content of jw.org for their literature.. .

  that's the entire extent of it - i also got a few speculations about "what it might mean" (the society is expecting persecution!

  This goes against the history and everything this Cult has ever taught. Hidden literature can be spiritual food during persecution, the internet is evil, blah, blah, blah. But what the hell, this Cult's new Leadership makes up their beliefs & direction as they go along.

  2. beliefs

  there were times when i was a jw that i asked myself :.

  'what constitustes actual worship at the meetings?'.

  it got to a point where the only worship i could see was a sycophantic arse licking of the governing body.. i found nothing at the meetings(tm) were actually anything like worshipping god.. .

  I remember when the prayers & comments praising the Governing Body first started happening. It was very weird to hear at first, but then it started happening so much that it got sickening.

  "Oh Jehovah.....thank you for the Governing Body, blah blah blah...."
