  Lies taught by the GB about ....Life, Worldy people & apostates

  by williamhconley in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the governing body not only lies to it's members about their true history but also about life itself, worldly people and former members.. here are some of those lies that come to my mind.. .

  "jw's are the happiest people on earth" -.

  fact: depression, anxiety, fear of punishment, paranoia, is what jw's live with every day.

  Circuit Overseer wakes up, packs his bags and leaves!

  by Anony Mous in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i just heard this about a co i knew back in the day before he was even a co. he must be in his mid-late 40's now, my mother told me the story as she knows the family very well (the entire family has gone 'apostate' including several elders, circuit overseers and missionaries - this was an "example" family, always on the stage etc).. he wasn't 'feeling well' so he took time off from his co duties.

  that week he packed his suitcase, told his wife he can't do it anymore and he's leaving, leaves her the car and the house and went to live in a small apartment, bought a small car and a week later got a decent job.. this was very recent so not everybody within the org has heard yet what happened..

  Will firing the DOs be the first step to a new Watchtower?

  by Juan Viejo2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  against my better judgement, i've decided to share the following as a response to guy pierce passing and the announcement of the elimination of district overseers later this year.. late in january (2014) i got an email from one of my contacts (a fader) who served at bethel for several years, but is no longer at wt hq.

  he still has a lot of close contacts within the service department and in other departments at patterson and knows people in all of the ny offices.

  i kept this email set aside on a flash drive and haven't shared it with anyone - figuring i'd publish an article about it later this year when i had more time to do it right.

  Why are rumors and speculation about what teaching Watchtower will flip next exciting?

  I don't get it. It's what they've always done.

  ....or just recognize they will do what they want and take a break from analyzing and hanging on their words. I know some of you won't listen, but really folks- go enjoy your life and wait until they explain it. Finding out days or months ahead of the average dub or figuring out how it isn't quite scriptural is really not that important.

  Sounds like a good plan to me

  No matter what, It's a cult and deserves to be treated as such.

  In the real world when your position is phased out, you get any savings, social security and investments that you've accumulated. When WT retires you, you get absolutely NOTHING!

  Black sheep of the family-my life as an ExJW

  by bsand20 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was a 3rd generation jw, half the congregation i attended was made up of my entire mom's side of the family, 2 of the 3 elders were my grandpa and uncle.

  my first memory of the organization was when they announced my mom's name in the meeting saying she had been reinstated....it was 1988 and i was 6 years old....i didn't understand it then, but when i asked my mom why was she crying and why did they say her name in the meeting, she said "it's because i've been good!".

  so she went back and after a period of time assisting constantly, she was reinstated.
