As a ministerial servant I was shocked at how the brothers as a whole seemed to ignore these ones. There were a couple that would visit certain ones but as a congregation, these ones were ignored.

Has anyone else observed how the elderly JWs are neglected?
by Joepublisher1 ini know there are exceptions to this (by good-hearted jws), but has anyone else noticed how some jws (even those who are pios, elders, etc.
) neglect the needs of their elderly parents?
(what i have seen is some jws hiding behind the fact that they are very busy in spiritual matters, too busy, to help their elderly parents with chores around their house, yet they find plenty of time for their own selfish pursuits.

What gives you away as a (former) JW?
by perfect1 inthese days my jw past stay safely under wraps from nearly everyone.. i dont dig it up- and i see no need to talk about it with anyone.. sometimes i feel as if my past is a large and terrible secret, and i will be found out eventually.
people can sense i am different.
i never talk about my family.. i guess people chalk it up to being a private person or let me be a mystery.. however, there is one thing that i feel completely reveals me as having been raised a jehovahs witness:.

People I tell are just like "really?" It's no different then telling them you used to be a Mormon. Some think its kind of neat. I will say I've guaranteed there are a few people who will never even talk to JW's now.

Ambient Abuse - This is one area that the Jehovah's Witness Are So Very Damaging To The Psyche.
by Narcissistic Supply injehovah's witness work so very hard to deny your reality.
thus you have nothing to base anything on.
no truth to base what is, in fact, truth.

How many millions of Christians were there from the founding of Christianity to 1900? Millions upon millions. There had to have been at least 144,000 "true" Christians in that time frame.

Wt 2013 oct 15. KNOWING God is not about knowledge, it´s a conviction, LOL!!

You have to convince yourself.
In other words, for the WT god to be real you have to lie to yourself enough to where you believe it.

If I kept all my books intead of trashing them I could probably find it pretty quick. Pretty sure it is in the one that Razziel stated. Of course that information is outdated since they changed the format of the meetings.

WHy Have You Turned YOur Back On The Messiah
by cassuk11 inok so you got out of the watchtower society after discerning it was false.
what is amazing is how many have turned their back on the king or was it they had no faith in the first place and the spiritual food they received did not help them stand upon a rock.
jesus the christ your saviour is a living breathing being with emotions.

I think it's in the Elder's book or one of the books that dictate how the meetings are run. Perhaps a BOE letter. I remember going over this information in a ministerial servants and elders meeting. Perhaps it was the OD book?

It is a written rule. As long as the speaker doesn't have to leave before the end of the Watchtower study.

The difference between scientists and Christians is scientists base their beliefs on what the evidence says while Christians base the evidence on what their belief says.
Do you realize that bones and fossils are not the same thing?
