  Disgusting!!

  by Theredeemer in

  so, about a decade ago there was a big scandal in my city concerning an young elder raping his 13 year old sister in law.

  the elder got reproved but was never turn over to the police.

  the girl's mom was an immigrant and very uneducated and decided it was best to forgive after the elders, whom one was the young elders dad, instructed her to remain silent and rely on jehovah.

  I have a deep, deep anger about the heartbreak they have.......and are going to......put my mother through. All she ever wanted was to be loved and spend eternity with animals.

  It was all a lie.

  I can't even type about it.

  Jehovah has given them "new light".........or maybe just one of them. Nonetheless, they need to discuss this exciting 'new light'

  Maybe they are reviewing their progress with Jesus command to promote his website.....

  No more literature counters?

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there is a thread on jwtalk suggesting that the latest hall designs do not feature a literature desk.

  the dubs will pick up gear from a self serve kiosk in the hall, just enough for their immediate needs.. time will tell if this is true but if so then it relfects the reducing emphasis on printed material.

  also, i think there is another by product.

  Minor Update to circuit accounting scam

  by Justnowout in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  many outside are now aware of the scam.... the brother announces a "deficit" at the assemblies.

  what they dont announce is that the so called expenses include a predetermined donation to the branch.

  meaning, the assembly hall is paid for so the basic expenses should be utilities, maybe some speaker expenses and a 52nd share of property taxes and the like.... however the "deficit" always seems to run into the thousands with "expenses incured" totaling 7-10k.

  Accuracy of the Revised NWT

  by dabster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was speaking with a jw yesterday.

  i'd previously mentioned the removal of the brackets around 'other' in colossians 1 making the mistranslation complete.

  during our chat he said that the previous edition of the nwt was the more correct one, that the revised version was simply more readable and that it shouldn't be considered the best translation.

  I always appreciate these deeply knowledgeable threads ....so many students on this site!

  However, what does it all matter?? They don't even follow the Golden Rule.........they don't obey the Bible, for examples Psalms 146:3.....

  ....so in the end, what does it matter what translation they read from? They only follow men.

  Blown away-- where to go from here

  2. friends

  i stumbled upon this website a few weeks ago due to the jw.org ridiculousness, since then i haven't been able to pull myself away.

  the thoughts, feelings, and concerns i have had the past few years aren't just mine.

  it's global.

  Welcome....prepare to experience a wide range of emotions. Some of us have traveled the world and studied hard to get to the bottom of something we were 'born into'.......

  You're not crazy. It's a cult.

  Saturday morning field service is a joke

  by hoser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i havent been going door to door saturday mornings for since i can't remember when.

  i have been putting in regular reports to the congregation but the last time i actually went on a door was probably six months ago or so and it has been at least 2 years since i did a saturday morning.

  9:30 we showed up to the group arrangement, we waited outside because we were not sure that it was the right place.

  "You can't Disfellowship me ......."

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if i ever get the threat of being df'd i think i will say :.

  " the religion i left a few years ago no longer exists, you can't disfellowship me from a religion that i never had fellowship in !"..

  i know this will make no difference at all, as would whatever i said if they had made up their minds, but it would point out how very very silly the whole idea would be.. any other ideas to briefly sum up what a stupid thing dfing is ?.

  Why give them any power whatsoever?

  They are a joke......a mock 'authority' in a cult.

  I would simply laugh at them.....a lot.
