Blood is thicker than water??

by HereIgo in

i remember a co saying from the platform, " people often say blood is thicker than water.

well not in jehovah's organization" i don't know about anyone else, but it sure rubbed me the wrong way and one of the million reasons why i left!.

Of course it isn't in the "truth". Family means nothing in the jw org

To beard or not to beard...

by Saltheart Foamfollower in

...that is the question our circuit overseer asked the elders.

to elaborate, the agenda for the co meeting with the elders had an item about the "beard paragraph" (sept watchtower p21 para 17) which i assumed would be an instruction to not use any with beards on the platform.

instead he genuinely wanted to know if we would recommend a brother if he had a beard but everything else was ok. he kept pressing until he got 100% saying yes - a beard isn't a problem.

Bunch of Pharisees.

Another "good" elder might be getting the axe....

by humblepotato in

jw
friends

so our congregation is full of hardliner elders, 3 of them, who are not gentle, kind or loving.. people have either moved away or quit trying because one elder inparticular was going to drive them crazy with all his rules and nit picking and being righteous over much.

(and he is pissed that he hasn't been accepted to the school.

hmmm, i wonder why!).

hoser

They remove this guy as an elder and wonder why their workload increases.

Today I Dropped In To Field Service Meeting

by pale.emperor in

i just dropped my daughter off to her mum at her parents house.

it was 12pm and i knew they meet for feild service there but my ex and i assumed they would still be out knocking on doors.

i pull up in the street and there's quite a few cars parked up and the house was backed with jdubs from my old congregation.

Good for you!

The Jws expect you to feel act shameful as you've done some terrible deed.

Dinner plans canceled because "I need to talk to the elders". Huh?

by Darkknight757 in

so this past week the wife and i have received several phone calls and text messages from our old hall.

we were also invited out to dinner to catch up with some old friends.

an hour before dinner this guys wife messaged my wife and said that she "can't wait for tonight!!

hoser

Why are you even considering these people as your friends?

Before the dinner one of them probably mentioned to a jw they were going for dinner with you. The jw probably said you are bad association because you did this or that.

Enjoy the company of your wife and forget about these people.

New Video Series On Courtship May Open Some Eyes

by JW_Rogue in

so the wife was watching the latest installment of jw broadcasting and near the end there was a new segment on dating and courtship.

it starts at about the 39 minute mark:.

The sister in the video is not good marriage material. She looks like a middle class entitled white girl.

She did the first guy a favour by dumping him. She is probably high maintainence.

A jw friend of mine(now ex jw) was married to a needy bitch like that. He couldn't win. She would complain about him not earning enough and when he would pick up some jobs on the side complain that he was neglecting her and not doing enough "spiritually"

If he was raised a Jehovah's Witness his talent would have been repressed.

by sp74bb in

jw

letter sent today to the ministry of justice... .

spain bethel sent a letter recently last oct 3 interpreting that no elder or sm should request a certificate of sexual offenses as other churches or persons in contact with kids.
