  Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

  they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

  They will get over it, just like we did out of missionary-service.

  The thing to do is forget full-time service rightaway and concentrate on getting a reallife and dollars. That's what helped me out.

  Witnesses - Ever Wondered Why You're So Tired After Assemblies/Meetings?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  recently shared this with me.. they compared the tiredness they felt after attending an assembly and meetings, and noted how much worse it was than actually working and studying hard for hours for their secular employment!

  why were they so exhausted after an assembly/meeting?

  no, it wasn't satan.

  Will Gilead Go Away?

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just a total speculative thought i had.

  with branches getting cut, special pioneers getting sacked, and bethel members going byebye, is there a need for gilead still?

  (co's are probably on the block too lests be honest).. if they got rid of that i feel that would be huge.

  Does Anyone Still Believe in God?

  by LaurenM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do any of you ex-jw's still believe in god?

  even with the new rebranding/softening of this religion, i still don't see how people can believe in him.

  the god of the old testimate is an angry murderer who approved rapes and slavery and killed thousands of men, women and children.

  SING NO SAD SONGS FOR EX-BETHELITES

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what happens to ex-bethelites is really of no concern to the gb.

  and equally no concern to us as ex-jws or those who question jw organization.. layoffs have happened at headquarters and elsewhere for many, many years - although the scale this time is larger than previously, being an all time high: 1,600. .

  for the record, we should spare any sympathy/empathy for those who are about to sent packing this time.

  They will come out stronger, and maybe their eyes will be opened. We left missionary-service, I was 40 years old at that moment. We went back to Europe and after a 4 or 5 months we had our appartement and I was self-employed as a contractor. It is not a big deal to get your own independent life. Work, work, show balls and you will get it. And CARPE DIEM.

  Large Increase in Trolley Witnessing

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when the org implements its bethelite "genocide" and demotes many members of the "worldwide order of special full-time servants of jehovahs witnesses" into lowly regular pioneers, many more trollies will have to be found in order for such ones to rack up their required monthly hours.. how many are actually going to be shocked by this into waking up?

  It's not your conduct, it's your status

  by donny in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jw's often state that their practice of disfellowshipping is used to keep the congregation clean and free of "worldly" influences and the like, however that is just pure b.s.

  in actual practice, all they actually care about is your status according to the watchtower society.

  case in point is ray's situation.. ray disassociated himself about 20 years ago because elders and other jw's were constantly spreading false rumors after he quit attending meetings.

  Mutating music from Mongolia

  do you want this sound coming from your kid's bedrooms on sunday morning?

  if not act now, play it tonite during dinner.. mongolia is getting to be a cool place, just watch out for their tendency to revere chinggis khan.. mongolian throat singer zorigoo (altain orgil).
