the gestapo body, brought out a brochure, i believe it was called return to jehovah.
in it they gave 3 reasons why some-one left the borganization.
if i remember 1 was because the person is angry at some one in the cong, or something along those lines.

If I remember 1 was because the person is angry at some one in the cong, or something along those lines. I stand to be corrected of course. Cant even begin to know the other 2.
Does any-one know? PLEASE.
i was out with my 4 dogs last night around 10:30 under a bright moon.
it was frosty (-4 c).
i heard some noise in the field behind my house (my backyard is a national forest).
the above is a quote from a jw female relative.
this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).
she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?
JUST mothers a, Only Spartan women give birth to Spartan warriors.
If you want liberation as a woman don't marry an arsehole. Of course women are not equal to men, we are above them.
Seriously joking aside, a lot of it comes down to individual personalities. I'm all for women having a career if that is what they want. There is always an upside & a down side to every situation it just comes down to what you want to sacrifice.
I worked with kid's & I saw a lot of career women get to 35 & suddenly say "oh I want a baby" but they don't get a baby, they get a human being that they are now responsible for, for the rest of their lives. They cant deal with having to come second, so at 6 weeks old they stick with a child minder, I tell you these kids are stunted emotionally. Then again I've seen young mum's who cant give up the partying & the out come is the same. I think a good mother does the best she can at putting the needs of her kid's first in the circumstances she's in. For me sacrificing that time with my children & husband was a no no. If I could turn the clock back would I do it any different, NO. But that's just me, I wouldn't think less of some else cause they chose differently.
I think the suffragettes were amazing, & I'm gonna go see that film.
recently i heard through video link to our kh a talk by bro loesch where he attacked university study (again) but this time he prefaced his remarks by saying, and i quote, "the faithful slave does not forbid you to go to university.
" so this was a bad start as his following remarks made it clear that this was just a way of seeming reasonable while basically saying that we shouldn't do it.
he went on to use an illustration i think he has used before about a man with ocd who decided to kill himself.
Didn't they send that guy, something Toole that testified at the ARC to uni at the expense of the donation given by the rank & file to become a lawyer?
Oh I'm sorry, we cant judge him, the motives were good. He can help get child molesters off with a slap on their wrist so they can go right back serving in the cong's molesting more kid's.
And why? I hear you cry. The last brother who was their lawyer left to become a minister for the C of E, cause he was so disgusted by their cover up's.
here is something that i don't get, the wtbts bangs on bout the value of life & how we shouldn't take chances with it cause it would be disrespectful to jah.
g. yeah, like parachuting/sky diving/speeding & all that.
however, they say naf all about surfing do they.
O.k. here is something that I don't get, the WTBTS bangs on bout the value of life & how we shouldn't take chances with it cause it would be disrespectful to JAH. G. yeah, like parachuting/sky diving/speeding & all that. However, they say naf all about surfing do they. How many people get hurt or die/eaten, I mean there's been a hell of a lot of sharks off the coast of Australia recently, so why aren't they on the stage saying to the bros "now you know bros with all these recent shark attacks you may wanna consider doing more in the mino rather then spending time in the surf, as it's proving to be dangerous. Consider how disrespectful your being to Jah"
But no, nothing. You know why? cause they would lose half the bro's in Australia. I bet if you asked them they would say "Well it's a conscience matter".
You know what I say to that "so is masturbation"
*** g74 11/8 ***9 is this the time to have children?there has always been a positive attitude about childbearing.
*** g74 11/8 10 is this the time to have children?
what does imminent mean?
you can adopt me if you like, I don't have any parents, they didn't want me. So you see having parents isn't all its cracked up to be. Don't be sad, smile.big hug.
we've had a few threads these past couple days about how the wt does not take care of its own, how there's no love in the congregations, how they do no charitable works (supposedly because they don't want to produce "rice christians"), and how they believe that in these last days, the literature is the most important thing people need today, this wonderful life-saving spiritual food.... right?
well, take a look at this recent day text:.
- from examining the scriptures daily - monday, november 23, 2015 - .
just wanted to say happy thanksgiving to all!!!!
i love celebrating holidays now... even though all my family wont be there:( hoping one day they will see the "light.
" maybe the " light will get brighter" and the jw will have a new understanding that everthing has pagan origins and its all about family on holidays.
my mom had surgery last month and she developed complication and had to be on antibiotics to treat infection.
so, she is recovering slowly, but things was tough on her and she was not attending kh or went to assembly two weeks ago.
nonetheless, elder showed up at her place and instead providing her with comfort he started to harass her that her faith is weak, she does not put trust in jah, etc.
somebody mentioned in a recent topic that they had a conversation with a former elder whose breaking point was when the overlapping generation was highlighted in recent times and how he would never serve again until somebody gave him a scriptural reason to believe it.
i am in a similar position.
i have gone in the last 18 months from taking the wt study, leading fs groups, and doing talks on the mtngs to doing almost nothing, as i resigned a little over a year ago as an elder due to a combination of family responsibilities and huge doubts.
Elder newton, I'm glad you walked, shows you have morals. The child abuse issues are I think the biggest reason for most. I can see how it is for some-one to be DF (I've been there) & say (as I did) I knew I shouldn't of had that shag, you know take the responsibility cause they knew it was against the rules. Like getting sacked cause you stole (not me) something. But blatantly protecting pedo's with the fact's that now prove it, that is something else entirely. To me it is simple
Mark 2:9, which is it easier for me to say "your sins are forgiven, or Get up pick up your cot & walk".
So Elder newton, what is it easier for us to say, "I don't believe this is Gods organization, or I don't believe God would approve of protecting child molesters". it's the same thing is it not.
