i was unable to sleep because of my ongoing turmoil with my family and my wife's ongoing naivety about what they are trying to accomplish.
and i came to another thought about this group, the witnesses.
they say "i put jehovah first!!
Yep it's conformity. The leaders of this religion can't handle it if someone thinks differently than the rest of the herd.
It is just like a franchise. All of the mcdonalds stores and walmarts look the same no matter where you are. It is the same thing as the jehovahs witnesses.
a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.
the responses are so pathetic.
these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.
Sounds like she trying to shame people for not showing up to clean the hall. It won't work because when next years memorial rolls around ( unless this year is the last) people will have forgotten about the guilt.
last year when i went to distribute memorial invitation, i had a bad time talking to a house-holder who happened to be an ex-nun.
she said: you are wasting your time.
jesus had no idea that his death would have a sin-atoning value (which is of course a later invention by later theologians.
i was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.
It seems like one or more of the elders had some hornets up their ass and were looking for an excuse to get you off the elder body. You are not responsible for what your adult children do.
latest tv.org video.
only been mentally out 4 months, but lett's concluding words made me want to vomit.
the propaganda is thick.
it just seems to me religion in general primarily makes truly bad people worse, not genuinly good people better; and in many cases has even made good people do bad things in the name of their religion.
just curious, a personal poll if you will.
what are you guys' current views on religion as a whole?
i have a serious problem that i cannot solve on my own.
i was born-in but am only in by a thread at this point.
i quit the tms a few weeks ago and wrote a post on it.
The watchtower is one sick dysfunctional family. There are no such thing as personal boundaries in the watchtower religion.
Perhaps the elders are behind this brother interfering in your family. He is over stepping his boundary and you are letting him. I am not criticizing you for letting this happen because this is watchtower "normal". Until now this was normal to you. It is NOT normal behaviour.
You have the scriptural right to be the head if your house and call the shots. This bozo is trying to be the head of YOUR family.
My advice to you is find a watchtower article about proper headship and scriptures to back it up and tell this guy to buzz off.
at a recent one day assembly i walked away with the thought that the wtbts sure does not like witnesses who have the opportunity to make a good living.
there were, in one day, three experiences of witnesses who turned down "6 figure salaries" because there would be some traveling involved and some meetings would be missed as well as missing family worship night.
i thought it strange that the exact phrase was used of "6 figure salary".
just watched the news about the air canada crash in halifax that they want to claim was just a "hard landing".. i can only imagine the distinction matters for insurance purposes otherwise they are just being idiots.
pretty poor behavior for the airline whatever the motivation imo.. now i'm no plane expert but i think when then plane is smashed up, the engines have come off and the nose is in pieces that should be obviously classed as a crash.
if you can't take off again then you have been in a crash, not a hard landing.. .
are you out there, brother elder?.
are you finding our little show entertaining?.
in your bloodshot eyes do we appear pathetic or just disturbing?.
