45 JW Rules/Teachings that "go beyond" writings of the Bible

by oompa in

(1 corinthians 4:6) .

.that in our case you may learn the [rule]: do not go beyond the things that are written,.

.. 45 jw rules/teaching that "go beyond the things that are written" in the bible.

What about marriage? I was just having this conversation with a friend of mine who doesn´t know I have left yet. Another friend of ours is married. However the wife left him 20 years ago and she is a witness too. So this guy has been waiting 20 frickin years to be free of her but she will not free him as she has not broken the marriage vow. She likes being a drunk living in Florida with her mother. Is that not insane? So two lives are ruined because they are holding out over a manmade rule.

What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?

by Reality79 in

- some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.

i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.

yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

I have so many....

The dumbest one was I bought a car. 4 door etc. Perfect field service car but since Atlanta had hosted the Olympics in 96 the license plate had an american flag on it. Yup...Got counseled by an Elder that I should change the license plate.

How could Jesus be ruling the world since 1914 yet Satan is the ruler of the world?

by yadda yadda 2 in

jw
friends

july 2011 awake (p.5) says: the ruler of this world.

the bible states: the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.

(john 12:31; 1 john 5:19) that wicked one is satan the devil, a powerful spirit creature who is described as the ruler of the authority of the air.

And 2025 is NOT soon. If I said I was going to come over your house and that I would be there soon, would you be happy if I showed up 40 years late?

Cruel Hearted People

by EXMS in

i can't believe how people in the "organization" can be so cold hearted.. .

last october, i got an invitation to a friends wedding where i grew up in portland, oregon.

i now live in san diego, california.

Same thing happened to me...I was a witness and got married to a non witness who was studying in NY. We had been married 4 months and we decide to visit my witness father in GA. He was totally cool with what I did etc. Since we got married at a justice of the peace in NY he wanted to have a little wedding reception. So he spent money on invitations and lots of money on food, drink etc. No one in the hall in Atlanta said a word about it. All was going according to normal. Then 2 days before the Elders have a meeting and decide to not attend. They convinced the servants to do so too. We were expecting 150 people. 22 showed up.

That is just one of many bricks that built the house for me to leave the cult.

What is even more hilarious is that you guys are SO anti witness that you are basically focusing your attention on me and not the poor plight of those people....

There is too much frickin hate here.

Nope Mr.Freeze...They started it and attacked first. Self defense is blowing them away. Tell that to the person that breaks into your house next time. Would you wimply sit by and say please leave while they are raping your loved ones? Because to YOU violence isn´t an answer right?
