Anyone recall a time when your congregation came to the aid of a Brother or sister in need??

by jam in

i'm not talking about a individual, but a congregation as a whole.. i'm talking about a brother or sister that really hit hard times.. have there ever been an occasion where the brothers (elders).

decided to dip into the kh funds and help one in need????.

example, brother loose his job, get evicted, family of four or.

I was "totally" stopped in my tracks by an "atheist" comment.

i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.

i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.

i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

It was this sort of thing that led me to a bigger question:

If everyone killed before Armageddon is guaranteed a resurrection.....why aren't JW's commanded to buy a good gun and go around shooting everyone they see....screaming "you can thank me in Paradise"......instead of drudging from door to door making it all optional? If you were really "loving" wouldn't you just kill people and let Jehovah sort it out in Paradise?????

Otherwise, they may not read a Watchtower......which would cost them eternal life.

Yeah.....

.......the absurdity is truly infinite.......

Congregation Pledge Disgusted Elder

by rrb2016 in

at the meeting the other night, the elder who had to read the announcements, which included the $$ info for the new donation arrangement seemed downright disgusted as he read the announcements and asked for the vote.

he said, "well, here is another organizational change" as he read the letter about the discontinuation of the 2nd meeting during co visit.

then after they voted, he said if you have any questions ask this other elder as if he wanted nothing to do with it.

It was being an elder for over 11 years that woke me up..... if the 'publishers' only knew what was going on behind closed doors. ....however, the fact that they don't know what is going on is also THEIR fault, as it was mine......

Could There Be Another Mass Exodus From This Cult?

it's happened before.

how much crap can any rational human being take before they just snap & walk away disgusted?.

Wow......well said wallsofjericho.....

The vast majority of JW's couldn't tell you a damn thing about doctrine, where to find a scripture or the difference between Noah and Moses.

They will always be around in some form. One thing is for certain, if this 1914 'generations' garbage doesn't wake someone up...nothing will.

this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.

if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.

kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!

Main reason JWs are JWs

by Batman89 in

what is the(or what was your) main motivation for serving god as a jw(or any christian)?.

a) love for god and genuinely trying to learn more about him and bible truths?.

b) to escape punishment/death at armegddon?.

he would love to see you.

i would tell them please come out anyway he would just love to see you.

i saw the lack of love and could not believe it.

I've seen, heard and read this story a thousand times.

They couldn't give two s**ts about anyone.

The most arrogant people I've ever known.

by FFtruther144 in

russel is burried under the pyramid.

according to none other than frederick franz himself, in his own words!.

i read some wt trolls on here trying to say that he is under the marker a few feet away.. that is not true.

daringhart13

Forget Russell......I would much rather know if Rutherford is buried under a concrete slab in the garage at the former Beth Sarim or Beth Shan.....LOL....now THAT would be truly looney tunes

First Post - Emotionally Torn

by scaredtospeak in

i haven't been on here long but i found this site a couple days ago and quickly realised it had a lot of posts by people going through similar experiences as me.

i read some of the answers and it helped relieve some inner anguish i've been carrying since everything i came clean to my parents about everything i've been reading about.. .

i just have been going through a rough patch right now; that might be an under or overstatement depending on your own personal experiences with this kind of stuff.

Please, please run while you can. Listen to what your gut is telling you!

Who is the biggest Loser JW you have known

by Clambake in

it seems every cong seems to have some guy who is 35 and never had a job or moved out of mom and dads basement.. i knew a guy who just hand out magazines at work so he would get eventually fired and could sleep in till noon everyday.

of course his elder father though he was a real matyr cause he kept losing jobs for jehovah.

i have an electrican friend who apprenticed some jw kid till he got his ticket and he quit him to pioneering.
