Over the past decade more has been revealed about the true nature, I can't accept the fact a large portion of my life was a lie! The insanity of hearing people say "Oh, we are so close to the New System" make's me want to vomit! Who said anyone has the right to survive through this World and why should God jump on human's schedule just because their terrified of death? Their arrogance and unwillingness to see that everything we beleived was a lie is demonstrated by all the horrible and incompetent elders trying to handle cases outside their skill-set.
Are you troubled that the vast majority of elders handling all the cases did not have any training in counseling or humanity? These men who not trained to watch your dog on vacation are handling intense cases on sexual abuse? The fools told my mother to keep things silent because "we don't want to bring reproach on the Organization, yes, all the victims of abuse must keep their mouths shut so the World does not know whatg a eerie place the Kingdom Hall is! Most of the youth my age are not in college, they got married and moved in with their parents and live off their parents while having babies! The critical thinking classes, the logic classes and Philosophy are rubbing in just how deceived we all were! Can I ask if any of the elders were trained beyond collecting donations and giving unwanted advice that our clothes, our hair or music selection or girls we dated who might not or did not meet their personal preferences? How can anyone with a brain believe these hateful people filled with wickedness that can out drink many of my college binge drinking friends have God's Spirit? The need the drink to force themselves to sleep because their just like King Saul who was cursed by God who allowed the demons to mess with his brain. When I see people like my Aunt and Uncle and their hatred towards people in the congregation, their hatred of people that don't bow down to them, its further proof I made the right decision by telling everyone I want nothing to do because the Organization has no teeth to stop the badness from seeping throughout the World of good Witnesses waiting to get stumbled by miserable men and women that have no problem telling people to be honest while its option for them!
One area that use to bug me was my friends were getting 1099'ed by JW Contractors because the JWs did not want to pay Social Security payroll tax or Worker's Compensation so they paid these employees $10.00 telling them "I am paying you $1.00 above Minimum Wage, so you cover your WC and payroll tax!"
The Fools are just as Jesus said "1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2“The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.a 3So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. 4They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
5“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels.b 6And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. 7They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi.’..."
12But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
13“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.e
15“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hellf you yourselves are!
16“Blind guides! What sorrow awaits you! For you say that it means nothing to swear ‘by God’s Temple,’ but that it is binding to swear ‘by the gold in the Temple.’ 17Blind fools! Which is more important—the gold or the Temple that makes the gold sacred? 18And you say that to swear ‘by the altar’ is not binding, but to swear ‘by the gifts on the altar’ is binding. 19How blind! For which is more important—the gift on the altar or the altar that makes the gift sacred?20When you swear ‘by the altar,’ you are swearing by it and by everything on it. 21And when you swear ‘by the Temple,’ you are swearing by it and by God, who lives in it. 22And when you swear ‘by heaven,’ you are swearing by the throne of God and by God, who sits on the throne.
23“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens,g but you ignore the more important aspects of the law—justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things. 24Blind guides! You strain your water so you won’t accidentally swallow a gnat, but you swallow a camel!h
25“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence! 26You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish,i and then the outside will become clean, too.
27“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity.28Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.
