  JW Broadcast May 2019: Anxiety

  by StephaneLaliberte in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the women's testimony was a hard watch.

  i feel so sorry for her.

  the concept that spirituality can overcome sickness immediately induce guilt in the individual and even the sister said so herself @18:40: "i feel ashamed", "wrong with me", "guilty about that", "i'm letting jehovah down", "disobedient to jesus".

  This was in a recent watchtower study as well.

  Victim blaming at its finest.

  Love Among Yourselves?

  by Lost in the fog in

  1. social
  2. current

  you have to wonder why a congregation which claims to have love among itself would not do something to help this poor off member of the congregation.

  oh wait a minute, they preached to him, got him in, so now he's on his own - just like all the rest of them!

  There was a former pioneer that my oldest sister told me about.

  He developed some kind of disease that affected his motor skills, probably ALS but I’m not sure. His jw wife left him for another man but this brother kept going to the meetings faithfully even though he was in a wheelchair and would shake all the time and was barely coherent in his speech.

  My sister and her husband used to give him rides to the meeting but a new CO came to town and instructed that no one should bring this faithful brother to the Kingdom Hall anymore that he could listen in on the telephone tie in.

  The brother started hiring a cab to pick him up at the care home and bring him to and from the Kingdom Hall because he wanted to attend. The next visit of the CO he instructed the elders to tell all the cab companies in town that this disabled brother wasn’t welcome at the Hall.

  I’ve learned as a PIMO with that my report needs to be high enough that the elders don’t hound me and low enough that the elders don’t hound me.

  Recent letter about ldc

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  not sure if this is being done in other countries, but here in canada they've just announced the need for holiday trailers for ldc volunteers to use.. they're hoping people will donate these evidently.

  not some run-down thing, it's got to be a fairly recent model and also a fifth-wheel.. i guess this is where the more materialistic witnesses will have to step up!.

  When an anti Facebook CO was in power a lot of brothers/sisters deactivated their accounts. When we got a new guy in who wasn’t so strict they started posting again.

  You won’t have to worry about retirement before Armageddon because you’ll be dead of old age

  This is the stuff my parents and grandparents bought into and changed our family dynamics for 4 fucked up generations( or is it just one overfuckinglapping generation?)

  We Might Know Each Other If You Know Some Of These

  by AnonVet in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not about to give away where i live or where i used to live, but if you know any of these clusters of people, we might have crossed paths at one point.

  (i have added a few "dummy" names to keep it tough.

  ) most, but not all, of these "real" names are elders.. 1) wicks, anderson, hughes, stafford, adams.

  Why doesn't the Watchtower Society never study the Bible cover to cover?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the 40 years as a jehovah's witness, i never read the bible cover to cover.

  the three meetings a week were broken up with book studies, awake and watchtower magazines,and ministry& field service meetings, all written by the watchtower society.

  never did we read any chapters from genesis to revelation and discuss the true meaning of what we just read.

  From my personal experience it doesn’t take much bible reading to come to the conclusion that the Jehovah’s Witness religion is a fraud

  What your first realization of hypocrisy in this Religion?

  by days of future passed in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mother became a witness when i was five and i believed that every witness followed what was said at the meetings and the instructions given.

  my naive belief carried on until maybe i was 10?

  at the old conventions, volunteers would come early and pack fruit into net bags so that it could be sold at lunch.
