District Conventions: The Single People/Wanna Be Married Opportunity

by mentallyfree31 in

as the conventions started today in my home state, i can't help but think of the hundreds of jw young people that i know who are still single, esp those over 25. it's really sad that for so many this is their only chance of finding somebody to date.

some that i know have even crossed over into their 30's, and they go year after year, always talking about the possibility of meeting someone special.. the organization literally controls their minds, and dating and marriage to a non-jw is out of the question.

it's so sad that so many have missed out on their life's dreams of having a family and companionship.

LOL....this BANE guy is hilarious.

Bane, Bane, Bane......don't even attempt to compare your wife to the women here. The majority of witness girls are complete trainwrecks due to being taught to be entitled, look for a guy with a 'title', not take care of themselves and no education.

I've never seen so much cheating by married women as I saw as a long time elder in the "Truth".......if they weren't cheating, they were laughing at their husbands for actually wanting sex.

You're delusional.

As for being single in the Truth.....its a private hell for both genders. Its particularly hard on those good sisters who would like to meet a normal 'brother'....... good luck......most of these guys would rather be playing video games in their underwear or go to the other extreme by being overbearing drill sargents.

Being single in the organization is a private death sentence.

Will The Governing Body Enforce the New Generation Understanding and Muzzle Open Criticism Among the Rank and File?

by frankiespeakin in

to keep every jw on the same page about the new light on extending the generation to mammoth's lengths of time the gb will no doubt be squashing any open criticism,, even the old cronies at bethel will looking differently at the gb when that starts happening.

even the most hardcore believer will be looking at the governing body in a "new light".

I agree with Blondie.

Most have NEVER understood the 'doctrine' to begin with.

I sat with an anointed brother and talked 'generation' for hours last weekend. He didn't even understand it.....oh, and he is part of the 'faithful and discreet slave' that is supposed to be feeding people like me.

The majority just show up at the Kingdom Hall, never learn anything, never study and are never able to explain why they are Jehovah's Witnesses.

For someone that put their heart and soul into the faith....its really painful to learn that most never listen to the talks, study or ever consider anything deeper than ".......well, the Society said it"

This will blow over. Why? Because none of them ever stop to consider TRUTH......

What Perplexes You About Jehovah's Witnesses?

i'll tell you what i just can't get.. how the hell can anyone cry wolf as many times as the witnesses have without huge repercussions afterward?

i don't get it.. "the end is sooooooooo sooooooooooo close and you better get back to the organization for protection before it is too late!!!".

have they no shame???.

daringhart13

I recently sat with one of my closest friends....and threw out the Generation teaching.

He had no clue what I was talking about.....or what happened in 1919

I am DAILY.....and I do mean DAILY amazed that the VAST MAJORITY OF JW's know NOTHING about their faith. Absolutely nothing.

It just blows my mind!!!!!

daringhart13

Shamus....... I too was deluded ...being the congregation 'favorite'.....boy you sure learn fast that NO ONE could give a shit about you.

I literally disappeared. I never received one call.....on visit. Nothing.

Its a ridiculous joke that they say they are 'loving'......

Great stuff folks. Thank you...... I really would like to create SOME sort of security by having that college education.

Getting married at 20, never going to college, but being that superstar elder.....well thats where its at...

CO visit reviews new "Generation" change today...

by Soldier77 in

so this week has been co visit.

i'll try to do a review without too much of me going off on a tangent to get the overview out and then let you all comment as you see fit.. theme of the week based on matt.

24 (sign of jesus presence and the end of the system of things).. co stressed once again (he as said this in every talk this week) that we are approaching 100 years of jesus reign.

daringhart13

It just keeps getting better:

I sat for SIX hours with an 'anointed one' talking and talking and talking today. They didn't even KNOW about "Generations"

Yeah, you read that right..............some loser like me was teaching a member of the "faithful and discreet slaves" about his own teaching......

I just sat there staggered for hours.

Is the Tide Turning For the Watchtower Organization? What Do You Think?

by mentallyfree31 in

i would like some thoughts on this issue.

as we well know the wts has been going strong for 130 years.

and they are still making large increases.

daringhart13

The numbers are skewed....many people don't tell the truth.

Also, please keep in mind that the vast majority of JW's aren't educated on their own religion. They couldn't explain 1914 if they had to. Those that do have an inkling that its incorrect usually just say 'oh well' or 'well, we are doing the preaching work'

The lack of true heart motive and education on what they claim they would 'die for' is unnerving. My own family knows NOTHING about "the Truth"...... yet they keep showing up, daydreaming and leaving.

Go to a meeting on a Sunday. No one is listening. Listen to the WT comments....they are parrotted out of the paragraph.

None of them know why they are there......most stay in for social circles, family ties and not knowing any better.

My Family Being Verbally Abused by MS

by daringhart13 in

someone talk me out of going to jail.. i just found out an ms called my sister and verbally abused her.

told her she was 'unspiritual and inactive and he doesn't have to listen to her'.......he then continued with what a 'crappy mother she is' etc.. i'm in a blind rage.

daringhart13

Thanks gang.....I couldn't agree more. This guy is a piece of work. After threatening to come kick his ass....yes, I did it... he is now proclaiming me an apostate....LOL LOL He went on to tell my nephew that he spent time in prison for shooting someone. Que the song ".....We're Jehovah's Witnesses....we speak out in ....." I want to rip his lungs out....
