  Is this new donation arrangement for real?

  by nugget in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just read a post on jwsurvey about the new donation arrangement.

  congregations are to pledge a monthly amount to be sent to the society to fund the building of assembly halls and kingdom halls.

  congregations who already have a loan from the society will no longer have to pay back the loan but the amount pledged should not be less than the current monthly repayments to the society.

  Hello Designs and Scully

  That's not tithing, that's legalized extortion

  because it's under the guise of a religion

  Are my children in danger of being indoctrinated if I let them spend the night with their JW family?

  by Butterflyleia85 in

  so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.

  keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.

  my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.

  Yes, your children are in danger. Never leave them unsupervised

  They may get a hold of some matches " Nu light " doctrines

  and eventually burn your house down

  The WT and it's views on depression.

  by quellycatface in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as a few of you may remember, i suffer from bipolar.. when working at the uk home office, i was signed off by my doctor with depression and anxiety.. in the space of 11 months i was assessed by 2 home office doctors, both diagnosing me as unfit for work.

  i eventually left.. how therefore, can stupid little people in the kh say you'll be better doing fs, ministry school and being regular at meetings??.

  they have to be the most un-empathetic bunch of people on the planet.

  So true, Back in the day black folks in my neck of the woods called 'em " Nerve pills "

  The very ones who sought solace at the bottom of a bottle

  probably needed treatment for depression instead

  .

  I found out that there were six sisters on depression meds in the Hall I attended

  Those are the only ones I found out about, I'm sure there were more

  .

  .

  How can you not be depressed in a religion that preaches doomsday

  day in and day out

  .

  .

  If I hada stayed, a pill for depression woulda been added to my mornin' regiment

  Not becuase of a chemical imbalance or anything else that can cause depression

  but in order to cope bein' a Jehovah's Witness..

  Good use of illustration Rebel8

  unlike the folks in the mall, those women are distanced

  from those trollups as if they are bad association

  .

  But when the heat is on

  they take thier trollups

  and find new turf to set up shop

  Local Needs talk on Cleanliness and how youll get Hepatitis C if youre not clean.

  by Jon Preston in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i had to highlight this part because i was dying laughing on the inside when it was given.. the talk first starts by the brother bringing out how clean gods people were in the past and how he gave specific direction to the israelites for disposing if waste.

  then he said that a sister stepped in gum outside on the pavement so we should not chew gum at the kh.eat mints instead!.

  then he brought out an important point about keeping the bathroom sanitized and he says: "and just recently we found blood in the sink in one of the bathrooms.

  Never a JW,

  I can only speak for myself

  I agree in the things you stated in your post

  That's why I pointed out things that were evident to me

  in WTS literature , that proved the things that AllTimeJeff stated

  .

  Not to discount what you stated

  " The problem is that it all sounds like an opinion without supporting evidence " ___Never a jw

  .

  .

  1) Jw's are taught and conditioned to respect thier visible leaders____AllTimeJeff

  As in........ Listen, Obey, and be Blessed

  2) Jehovah's Witnesses (GB) don't see the Bible the way JW's teach it at the door_____AllTimeJeff

  As in.......No one should be made to choose between religion and family ___Awake July 2009

  3) They mean , be obedient to us, or you will be disobedient to Jehovah____AllTimeJeff

  As in....." Thus what is taught is not from men but from Jehovah "____WT Sept 15, 2010 para. 8 page 13

  4) I know that there are some who don't and won't believe what I just said___AllTimeJeff

  I believe you AllTimeJeff based on their own literature

  Mud slide in WA state - sister at Assembly

  by leaving_quietly in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  look for it in the yearbook next year.

  there was an assembly the day of the big mudslide in washington last saturday.

  a sister's life was saved because she obediently attended the assembly and thus was not home when a huge mudslide hit her neighborhood and buried and killed lots of people.
