  Carla I think they will be the same topics because our CO in our district touched on the sa m e points as the original poster...

  1 thING I want to say what the CO said abt superior education, he said it's a personal de cosign but them quickly contradicted the statement with saying that the JW broadcast cautions us abt it, GB in other words, then it disturb me what he said next... "many go to a university waste 4 years in a university & end up working at McDonald's, don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong working at McDonald's but why didn't they start working there first , make all meetings & service & they wouldn't have wasted 4 yrs"... . .... oh yeah I didn't know wasting 4 years to obtain a degree is a waste of time....if working in a low paid job after obtaing a degree is a stepping stone to something greater in life I don't think it's a waste of time.... soo glad my child isn't old enough to understand this rubish....

  What's the craziest thing someone INFORMED on you about?

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the culture of jws as encouraged by the watchtower is one of informing on one another, reporting to either the elders or ones designated head.

  whats the wackiest thing that someone reported on you?

  im not talking about a black-and-white watchtower rule that would land you in a judicial committee, but some judgmental nonsense that someone thought they should turn you in about?.

  In the spanish cong: I was at the beach with my child, I went on my own with with my child as many times before, wore a 2 piece bikini, i workout at the gym alot .... ran into some spanish bros there, their wives dressed like it was winter, it was 95 degress, must have said something to their elders husband's cuz them someone later told me that I was the caused of their husbands "committing adultry in their hearts"..... oh & the other non jws surf chicks in thong bikinis what??... oh woman with children can't wear bikinis I was told by an elder, it's not appropriate....!!! Stupid.... i replyed, i find it appropriate for the beach I guess if pple feel that way they shouldn't be at the beach or any where it hurts their conscious, sorry brother but my conscious is clear....

  Poor boy soo sweet, I don't like when they are people are confrontational with JW,... honestly many JWs don't know what we do about TTATT & even Ray Franz commented about this in crises of conscience. ... it's not their fault they have been deeply influenced with the WT... captives of concept book said people can be won over either by 1 word or they can't be won by 1000 or something like that.... this situation could've been handled with more reasoning & tact.. just saying

  saturday, september 19th, 2015: .

  earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "daily text" which is based on a paragraph from the november 15th, 2013 article.

  that magazine contains the now infamous maxim: .

  This was & is a very disturbing paragraph when it was discussed at our meeting last year & mind blogging how some commented that we must have explicit trust in the faithful & discrete slave & the direction given & it being a case of life or death.... i even remember seeing a pix of on the WT of pple in a basement, I'm sorry but it this paragraph reminded me of Jim jones at Jonestown... very disturbing

  I did watch the broadcast of Feb. On jw.org, this appears in the 47 minute I did find it interesting that they would show a symbol that basically matches the early books of russell they could've not shown that hmmmm... but it was strange they did .. are they implying russell earlier books were inspired by the satan who transforms himself as an angel of light? & we should discard when it comes to TTATT?.... CRAZY

  Going Nuclear - Marriage

  by Sofia Lose in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  has anyone here gone nuclear on their spouse and, all of a sudden, came out in the open as a jw opposer?.

  by this i mean, sitting them down and saying: i no longer want to be a jw anymore, do not want to go to meetings or preaching anymore!

  and, what has happened in the relationship after that?.

  Sofia Lose...

  Soo sorry your going thru this, but stay strong. .. i agree with one who said to bring up your doubts in family worship night but do it more like it was suggested, someone at wirk, etc asked you, "how do you know for sure that Jehovah chose your religion back in 1914-1919, & u responded to that person well we went thru a spiritual inspection based on the "quality" spiritual food being served at that time & that's why we say we were chosen by Jesus.." then u can ask ur hubby to help you research old watchtower & publications from the KH library & ask other older JWS if they have publications served during that time & by that hopefully he can also discover with you the TTAT, & if you cant find those publications express to ur hubby how important this information is to you both as JWs & reach to ithers if tgey have them so t he 2 of u can have a response to all who question our "truth"... that you want to be like Paul giving a public defense of your faith to those ask u asking it, quote the scripture, .... if he discovers he can't find anyone who has them, just say "that's odd, i would think that something soo important & historic in our history would be soo readily available to us in the KH library or ordered-requested from the WT so we can use that with others out in the ministry to prove we have the truth, don't you think it's strange?" ..... i find that works to get them thinking, I had one jw say that makes perfect sense.... seeding doubts with reasonING works best instead of throwing accusations it puts the hard core JW in defense where they don't listen to anything. ... Jesus did the same to his apostles & the pharises.... best wishes to you
