  It's funny how situations like this created so much drama.

  i'm sitting here at work by myself reminiscing about an old situation that created unneccesary tension.

  a few years ago as my mother was in the hospital just diagnosed with ovarian cancer,most family were already at the hospital but my sister who lived in new york at the time had not arrived yet.

  my mother who was newly reinstated and knew that my sister and her ex husband now boyfriend wanted to stay the week in her house.

  I was involved in an experience AFTER I resigned as an elder......where my friends ( The brother came to me as a respected former elder.... he was an MS) ...mother was dying of cancer....her fiancee would come over and feed her food, medication and WHEEL her to the bathroom where he had to aid her in 'relieving herself'

  No one wanted that job. he loved her so much that, even though not yet married, he was there by her side. The elders disciplined him, told the sisters NOT to help her, due to their disobedience in not having a chaperone!!!!!!!

  It was one of the final straws in my exit.

  She died. Ruined. Alone.

  When I went to the funeral at the KH, one of the elders started to approach me.....I looked at him with a look of DEATH and shook my head....he stopped in his tracks and backpedaled.

  I'm convinced I would have hit him.

  Adam didn't have intercourse with Eve prior to sinning? Watchtower Quote.

  by ThomasCovenant in

  watchtower 15th jan 1958 page 62 qfr.. why, after receiving from god the express command to multiply and fill the earth, did adam and eve refrain from carrying out this procreation mandate while they were perfect in the garden of eden?.

  asking this question concerning adam and eve is like trying to meddle in the private affairs of a christian married couple today, and asking why they have had no children as yet.

  jehovah god set no definite time for adam and eve to begin having perfect children to fill the earth.

  How did you fill the void after leaving?

  by gutted in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm curious about how people filled the void after leaving the jws.

  i'm at a point, a bit over a year after leaving, where i am finding i have confronted the reality of my life and situation... and it's depressing.

  i realize i have holes in my life (a significant other, social activities, something higher/beyond myself) which many worldly people naturally have filled but it feels unnatural for me, almost synthetic and it makes me more depressed the more i think about it.

  DC Sunday Drama

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  let's call it a very ugly version of "joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" recreated as a musicless "a young life serving god ain't worth living.".

  it included a highly fictionalized account of joseph being abused by his brothers for serving god and being loved by jacob.

  there was no mention of joseph's dreams that degraded his brothers and father.

  Just more of the same from "the happiest people on earth"

  You can almost see the teenagers counting the minutes until they can run from "the Truth"

  They've destroyed themselves...

  Interesting statistic

  by The Quiet One in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just looking at latest yearbook and noticed something about the worldwide report (2010)... only 19 countries/lands reported an increase of 10% or more, and only 3 of those had 1,000+ publishers in 2009 (still under 2000 publishers in those 3 lands..) .

  any thoughts?.

  A 40 year old single brother has his choice of sisters. Its highly slanted in the guy's favor.

  I was divorced in my mid 30's, an elder and a father of one. Before I left I was dating 24 year old, beautiful sisters. They all wanted a husband....and one with a 'title?'......oh wow, you're GOLD ............ LOL LOL LOL..........its so SICK..... they could basically give a shit about you as a person......

  I left the 'org' 3 years ago.....shocking in this area as a 'famous' elder..... and I STILL have several "sisters" call from all over the west coast..... they desperately want a HUSBAND.... and they are all convinced they will be the one to 'change your mind about Jehovah's organization'.......

  One of the main reasons I left was THIS reason...... its impossible to have a healthy relationship in that organization. Its all so distorted for both genders from an early age..... and they continue to wonder why there is so much 'fornication and adultery'.......... its a giant petri dish of insanity for a psychologist/psychiatrist....

  I wouldn't even consider a woman that was a JW. They were destroyed from an early age.... and the ones that come 'in' later as adult women are all looking for that next 'elder/missionary/bethelite' because they've been taught too.......... your personality be damned....

  by Philadelphia Ponos in

  2. friends

  after carefully evaluating the my current life situation, i've come to the conclusion that returning to the hall will be best for me.

  i simply just don't fit in with the rest of the world.

  i don't drink, smoke, have sex, go to clubs, listen to worldly music, watch movies, or gamble.

  I'm not going to judge you.....but I'm fascinated and curious:

  What will you do when you find that slander is not only allowed, but takes place at the highest positions of authority?

  What will you do when you find out many are alcoholics? Including many elders?

  What will you do when you find out many elders deal with Internet porn addictions?

  Those are just a few of the many questions I have for you......would love to see how you answer ;)
