  That’s What Happens When You Leave the Truth.

  by John Aquila in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it never failed, when someone got disfellowshipped or left the organization, their life became shambles.

  if married, a divorce ensued.

  if the person had a great job, the company would lay-off or close.

  The reason the religion tells horror stories about people who leave the Witnesses is to discourage those who want to exit! It is a defeat for them when people flee the religion.

  
  I'm sure North Korea says the same about people who flee to the south.

  by The Searcher in

  in view of the conti verdict of negligence by the org, are elders who are selected by the c.o.

  now in a precarious position?

  "charity trustees face potential liabilities in a number of ways.

  Each congregation should carry errors and omission insurance for their elder bodies.

  OK so the GB are shaming Bros who don't "reach out" but would they ever consider this?...

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i note on here the feedback from the currently ongoing conventions that the gb are heavily trying to guilt and shame any brothers who are not ms or elders.

  i agree with most posters who reckon this shows just how thin on the ground they are for ms and elders but... my question is.

  how comes that even though they are so desperate they still will not allow women to fill those roles?

  If they followed the scriptural requirements for ministerial servants and elders and not their own made-up-on-the-fly bullshit rules there would be a lot more elders and servants.

  Local Elders whip the Congregation into a frenzy about donating to the Organization

  by James Jack in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  because of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).

  heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).

  for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.

  We had a letter last night about not ordering annual items because the cost is too high to print them. Just to sit on people's shelves. They encouraged downloading instead.

  it was with great pleasure and with mrs hosers blessing that i took all of our bound volumes and other obsolete jehovah's witness books to the local landfill.

  i threw them into the garbage pile and watched as a crawler tractor drove over them to pack them down.

  Fun at The WT This Morning

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.

  14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".

  after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".

  , I don't go out in service much just enough to not be irregular. I thought perhaps this would lead to me getting deleted but it hasn't happened.

  
  

  How do you know what the secretary is recording on your publisher card He might be topping up your publisher record card because he likes you to do all the grunt jobs.

  stephen lett may 2015 broadcast.

  14:45 ... the governing body very much feels the urgency of accomplishing as much as we possibly can, in behalf of kingdom interests, knowing that the great day of jehovah is near....

  ... in an effort to inform you of the support that is needed for this great work, i have the following information to share.
