incredibly, fred franz once announced at a district convention: "yesterday a sister approached me and said, brother franz, why do we have to keep our children up so late just so they can attend the meetings?
i responded sister ***, would you rather have a tired child or a dead child?".
*cue rapturous applause*.
Mr. Franz was an ignorant man. He had no clue about what went on in the real world.
The ones setting up meeting times had no idea about children's need for sleep so they could get up early for another day at school.
The saddest part is that we paid for our own oppression.
in response to a post on reddit, i would like to make this long withheld post.on more than one occasion, i have experienced what seemed like miracles.due to whatever circumstances, in retrospect, largely caused by borg directive, our family became perpetually "in need.
"my efforts, as the "head," to do the right borg thing, service, meeting attendance, family worship, never seemed to provide the relief promised by wts.mentally, i have always wrestled with the contradiction of job and of matt.
6:33.satan challenged that if a jw were tested with material, etc.
i'm curious.
what do you know from your own experience and talking to other active jws?
i know from my own informal, non-scientific survey that most jws do not watch jw.tv.

the wts usually says the devils main and sometimes only target are the anointed remnant and the other sheep are collateral damage because of their association with them..

They speculate about Demas forsaking Paul for materialism but it could have been that he wanted to get married or look after his aging mother. Dumbasses.
My wife and I are getting the materialistic references lately because mrs hoser went to college and I work a LOT of overtime. The only reason we have to do this now is because we pi$$ed away our 20's and 30's on the watchtower pipe dream.
dear friends, your posts are very good, but we really think that they will change many things soon...for example.
watch tower now are feminist and they protect the gay cause.soon we will have many gay marriages in kingdom halls.you will see.that governing body is really cool.ted jaracz and john barr were the last puritans in the governing body!.
the current governing body is completely liberal, but as yet has some bethelites the old guard working, they are still holding some behaviors .... but very soon you will see ... even in my congregation is very liberal ... not here disassociates for immorality .. just for apostasy ... i fucked three sister, but the elders did not shunned me, but they only help me!
it was a simple question: isn't jesus my "mediator" if i put faith in him like the scriptures say?
the research to that answer, from the w79 4/1 p. 31, was mind blowing.
how dare they deny me a belief firmly stated in the scriptures?
For me it was the bullying and abuse that I and my family had to endure from elders and their wives.
When we complained it was obvious nothing would be done about it and we , the victims were blamed.
The true religion wouldn't treat it's members this way.
has no one else seen this illustration in today's watchtower?
i don't know how to post it on here perhaps someone will help?.
i swear its straight out of the lion king, the scene were scar throws mufasa into the stampede "long live the king" that scene.. i wonder how many jw kids will be picking up on this today?
why does the governing body depend on the helpers to write watchtower articles and the information in other publications?
why does the governing body not write these articles themselves?
they depend on the helpers to compose/write this information.
