This is how desperate they are

by Anony Mous in

so, back in the day, when you had an 'unruly child' and/or family members, your privileges were removed pretty much instantly right?

my entire childhood i had to hear about how me being bad in the hall or someone telling the elders about what's happening at our home, that's making it so my stepfather never gets or keeps appointments.

so always be good, don't tell anyone anything, so the men can become servants and elders and the women pioneers.. so i hear this about an elder family that pretty much broke apart.

The watchtower is a top down bureaucratic high control organization. That’s why the workload is so high for elders and no one wants to do it anymore. They made their bed and now they have to lie in it. They could run a much more efficient business if they didn’t have so many rules.

The other thing affecting volunteers is blue collar workers in the organization. Who wants to drive a bus, mop floors or pull wrenches all day and then have more to do on the weekends and evenings. You’re tired out at the end of the day. Why? Because you were told not to go to college and get an office job that you are home by 5 pm and not physically tuckered out.

Elders hounding members to quit their jobs due to missing too many meetings

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

how many times did you see elders hounding congregation members to quit their jobs due to missing meetings?.

my brother worked at a grocery store at 16 years old.

he would miss tuesday's ministry school due to his work schedule.

As per your experience about the firefighter the watchtower social manipulation system is good at moving the goalposts. A similar situation occurred with me when I worked shift work as an orderly in a hospital. They had appointed me as a ministerial servant knowing I was a shift worker but a year or so later started putting the pressure on for me to quit my job.

An older elder I knew would miss meetings sometimes for his business from time to time and would actually carry a letter of resignation in his briefcase to call out the circuit overseer on his bullshit. When the co started questioning about it this old guy would open his case and hand him the letter of resignation and walk away. They never did remove him as an elder.

Is WT Influencing Dubs To Check On Other Dubs' Activities Via ZOOM And Otherwise?

by HiddlesWife in

the reason for my question is because one pimo has noticed that there are some pimis--particularly spimis--who have remarked that they "are not going to contact nor associate with the friends who are delinquent on zoom and/or at in-person kh meetings, conventions, and assemblies".

i've noticed this as well: a few ppimis and pimqs who were very close to me and my exdub family members are hearing from them less and less lately than before last year's rc and this year's rc.

so, is the above a thing nowadays?

hoser

They won’t won’t to associate with you until they need something from you. Then they are your friend.

Rosemont Cemetery II

by RolRod in

okay, so here's a follow-up to my post a while back regarding the society tearing down the pyramid monument.

they cleared the area and this is what they did.

notice ... nothing about the watchtower connected to it, just slabs of cheap concrete..

I wonder if Lorena m Russell was a relative of CT?

I can hear the “persecution” rhetoric already. That’s why the jcs need to be more transparent.

I was involved in a jc a number of years ago that was “confidential”. A few months later the district overseer gave a talk on the circuit assembly that gave a word by word play of the jc. Confidential my ass.

New Translation Record as 13 Bibles Are Released in One Weekend

by Wonderment in

new translation record as 13 bibles are released in one weekend:.

https://www.jw.org/en/news/jw/region/global/new-translation-record-as-13-bibles-are-released-in-one-weekend/.

hoser

As usual the headline is misleading. Not all of the releases are complete bibles, only 4 are. I wouldn’t exactly call the book of Matthew in the Tewe language a bible.

Throwing rice at wedding banned! J.W don't want you to have kids!

by Witness 007 in

rutherford in his last book in 1942 ironic that it was called "children" told witnesses don't have any kids!!!

armageddon is just afew years away.

2022 many witnesses still live by this ideal...i have no kids at 50 years old because of this idiot!.

hoser

As for the rice and confetti at weddings it is some pagan custom so it is bad. Wedding rings are also a pagan custom but they are ok.

I think a lot of these oddball rules are in place so that Jws are considered oddballs by “worldly” people and they just don’t fit in. This keeps jws associating with jws thus keeping them in the cult.
