  The corrosive nature of CRT

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  2. current

  diane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.

  it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.

  according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.

  Crazy, as they have been one of the most oppressed groups in history, and that is why they do so well financially. They work together as a group and that leads to their success

  "Recruiting the Deaf" a new "Freeminds" article by Barb Anderson

  by Dogpatch in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the worldwide recruiting attempt of jehovah’s witnesses to bring their religious message to the deaf using sign language can be viewed as something of a mixed bag.

  while they strive to communicate it using the right methods, they convey an illusionary message that is detrimental in countless ways.[1].

  jehovah’s witnesses international “deaf ministry” as directed by the watch tower bible and tract society, inc., is no small feat because there are over 200 distinct sign languages in the world.

  My observations of publishers and pioneers that join foreign or special language groups is that their desire to help that group of people is secondary to their desire to use that “privilege” as a means to gain a greater social standing in the Jehovah’s Witness community.

  Would I be disfellowshiped for this?

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.

  my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.

  the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

  Bible Dramas - they really have no idea

  by eyeslice in

  2. friends

  it seems the watchtower are ploughing ahead with bigger and better film studios but come on, they really have no idea.. how come all the people in times past look like healthy, middle class americans/ europeans/australians in costume?

  get real.

  even a visit to rural india today would give a hint of how people probably lived back then.

  In the modern day jw videos every publisher lives in a million dollar home, drives a 100k car all on window washer pay while the wife is a regular pioneer.

  LOngHairGal:

  I don’t think the elders in our congregation give a rats ass about poor people. They are too busy going on vacation, playing sports, moving to more prestigious neighborhoods, riding their expensive motorcycles AND telling me I’m not spiritual enough to give a shit about some single mother that can’t afford milk for her kids.

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. friends

  i came across an xjw post on redditt from a rn.

  she states that nearly every jw she ever treated was on anti-depressants or anti-psychotic drugs:.

  https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/f35vaa/just_about_every_jw_i_come_across_is_on/ i once read somewhere that 1 in 5 jw's were on anti-depressants, but i couldn't find any documentation.

  Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  fourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.

  my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.

  the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.

  The elders here don’t seem to give a shit about the congregants monetary situation.

  As a business owner we from time to time get gift cards from some of our vendors and customers at Christmas time and other times of the year. We are doing good enough that we don’t need them and pass the generosity of our clients on to others.

  I offered to give the gift cards valued at several hundred dollars for gas, groceries and I think a few prepaid visas to the elders to distribute anonymously to needy members of the congregation. I don’t need to know who is in need and they don’t need to know who the giver is.

  The elders said the congregation doesn’t do that and by the way your field service report for last month is late.
