here's a question for those who keep current with ever-changing jw policy: what is the wtbts's current policy with regard to visitation of gravesides, bringing flowers, etc.

by widows, widowers, grieving relatives.

it used to be something of which they took a dim view, and impugned the spirituality of anyone who made a practice of it: ``let the dead bury the dead,'' and all that.

Every JW I know that died was cremated so there was no place to go to. The family either kept the ashes or scattered them (where the law permitted).

When I did visit Wallkill eons ago one of the things they made sure to do on the tour was to take us to the gravesites. Personally I thought that was weird cause they certainly had a feeling of awe about the place even though I didn't. I thought it was weird then and still so today. But then now I KNOW how weird it all is

What would you do differently?

by Tinkerbell4125 in

how would you have left the borg, if you had it to do over?

i would have threatened to sue those s.o.b's.

in fact i still think about it.

Lady Lee

I would have stood up in a meeting and started yelling out the truth for all to hear before they dragged me out. Ok that is the fantasy.

I would have sued their pants off - well maybe not that either - seen too many JW men with their pants off thank you.

I would have walked away with my honor intact. And gotten a restraining order against my husband and the elders if necessary

What's the worst thing the JWs/WTS could do now?

this isn't really a joke, but i do wonder if the jws could anything worse than they already have.

i don't think/suspect that the dubs would go off and do a mass-killing/suicide of themselves, a la jonestown or waco.

but you do have to wonder now that the pedophile and the un/wts-connection scandals have came to "light", so to speak, what else is brewing in the underbelly of the society?.

Lady Lee

I personally think the next big scandla - hot on the heels of child abuse - will be spousal abuse. And before too much longer will be the oppression of women. My suspicion is that soon too many will be disenchanted with the org. and they will leave. Field service will drop off - few people really think it has any value (probably why they are roaming the net now). More people will leave. Unfortunately more people in developing countries will be dragged in. Media attention to the WT org will prevent many people from being attracted to the WTs.

What's the worst they could do? For themselves - continue to be in denial about the problems in the organizatioon. Continue to make false predictions. Continue to control their members every move. Continue to be what they are - a high control, high demand mind-control group. And like any abuser - they don't change easily

Monthly Complaint

by comforter in

the watchtower has said that those who deviate from the faith only seek to pull down and do not try to build up.

they have no positive teachings.

only negative ones.

Lady Lee

But Colossians 2:4 warns Christians not to be duped by arguments that appear to be plausible

Ever considered using this yourself comforter? Most of the scriptures that the JW use to condemn other religions needs to be applied the the WT itself

Remember: Every time you point a finger at someone else there are 3 pointed right back at you..
