  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i was raised in a larger city congregation.

  there were many black and white families and there were other nationalities in the area.for the most part, i do not recall seeing obvious prejudice manifest in the congregation.

  have you seen or experienced prejudice from congregation members?

  It seems to me there are all kinds of "isms" in the WTS.

  As a woman I was second class all the time.

  As a DFed person I am as if dead.

  The WTS puts down other religions, governments, any one who doesn't agree, worldly medicine that doesn't agree with their policies, counseling (the elders are supposed to do it better), police (especially when it comes to abuse issues). JWs are cleaner, more moral, more Christian, more honest and well more happy than anyone on earth.

  That puts everyone else in a lesser class. "isms" of every type are alive and well in the WTS

  MATERIALISM AND JEHOVAH"S WITNESSES

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  it seems that the society has always been concerned with materialism.

  at meetings and assemblies, the faithful have been admonished to watch out for the sin of materialism.

  if you missed a meeting, could it be because you were being materialistic?

  BTW When he sold the house he took a loos which I would have been half responsible for if I demended my share). Same with the car. My lawyer thought I was being stupid until I told him I didn't think he could sell and get a profit. Turns out I was right so I won there too.

  Years ago when I was "in" and was married to an elder and had two young children we realized it was cheaper for us to pay a mortgage on a house than to pay for renting an apartment. And yes we were called materialistic. Well I was cuz he of course was well loved so it must have been me Right. Except that when we split HE lived in the house and I left everything. Signed over my share of the house and car and just took my clothes and 1 bed. Not quite sure just who they thought was the materialistic one then but he was still the loved one. But I wouldn't say it affected me cuz I was out and free

  One more thing - this whole issue of forgiveness that is pushed on people is just so much crap. Jesus gave the example of forgiveness - the person in the wrong must confess AND stop doing it. Forgiveness is given in return for honest repentance and NEVER to hide the wrong-doing

  Thanks Gopher and Sunshine too

  Nanoprobe I truly believe that the only way to solve about a problem is to talk about it in the open. That is probably why the early Christians had their judicial hearings in the public sqyuare - no opportunity for secrets to get out of hand - no opportunity for hurtful gossip (everyone knows the truth) and certainly no opportunity for abuse to thrive the way it does in the org with all its secrets.

  Father
  IN SILENCE he abused me,
  IN SILENCE he threatened me to be quiet and not to tell,
  IN SILENCE that is all he demanded, for himself to be free.
  
  Step-father
  IN SILENCE he abused me,
  IN SILENCE he warned me not to tell my mom,
  IN SILENCE that is all he demanded, for himself to be free.
  
  Husband
  IN SILENCE he abused me,
  IN SILENCE he warned me not to tell the elders
  IN SILENCE that is all he demanded, for himself to be free.
  
  Religion
  IN SILENCE they abused me,
  IN SILENCE they warned me not to slander him,
  IN SILENCE that is all they demanded, for themselves to be clean.
  
  Me
  IN SILENCE I have lived,
  IN SILENCE to protect everybody else,
  IN SILENCE I stayed a slave with no one protecting me.
  
  NOW
  IN SILENCE no longer,
  IN SILENCE to keep their secret no more,
  IN SILENCE so now I protect myself, instead of always them.

  Did anyone tell you what was wrong with the old hard drive?

  Is there any possibility of adding it into your computer as a second hard drive?
