  Are they trying to make me feel like crap?

  so i have not reported a single hour of fs or family worship in over 8 months.

  have not given a single comment in a meeting for over a year.

  a few weeks ago, my brother in law, who is an ms now, approached me.

  Shame, shame, shame they're playing the shame game. They will try to make you feel like a piece of shit in the hopes that you will conform.

  Mrs hoser and I have a problem with materialism Or so that's what I hear through the grapevine. Not one of the coward elders ever said anything direct to us about it but I did sit and listen to a public talk directed at us although he didn't mention names he described our business to a t.

  Then I was assigned a talk based on Matt 6 about keeping your eye simple. I looked up some non jw info and aced the talk and threw it right back in their face.

  Soon after I resigned from the school. That simplifies my life a lot.

  Speculation ( not theory ) on child abuse inquiries.

  by DATA-DOG in

  most of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.

  like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.

  so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??

  How strange that God's organisation needs tob eg for money

  by Half banana in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i would say that if god or jehovah or any other named or nameless god needs money then he/she/it is not much of a god.

  as a poor jw pioneer i scraped by as a way of life serving a god i could not know, see or sense in any way but i swallowed the biblical dogma and recalled that the birds of the air neither toiled nor sowed but were provided for.. so for goodness sake...why is the jw org so concerned with keeping, promoting or downright snatching as much money as they can from the sheep?.

  is it a sign that jehovah has disinherited them?

  What really pissed me off about this article was the part about anxiety. They basically said don't be anxious.

  Hello! Anxiety is a major disorder that may need medical treatment.

  Were you out in field service on coffee break? lol

  yea Tim's sucks but they have figured out a way to maintain a cult following.

  A guy I work with says they put crack in their coffee to get people addicted.

  If they told the public what really goes on in the congregation nobody would ever get baptized.

  years ago there was a thread about rumors that society was paying into a retirement fund for circuit overseers.

  could any recent ex-bethelite confirm or deny.

  here is the old thread:.

  One co I know worked wages for about 15 years before he was a co. He had a pension plan. The branch made him sign his pension over to them when he became a co.
