  Extreme emotions re today's watchtower

  by Tornintwo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was supposed to attend the meeting today, one of my once a month duties for the sake of my family and my fade.

  i read the wt and i just can't stomach going.... what this wt does is again and again reiterate that only jws will survive the coming destruction and that they should be happy about this and raise ourselves erect...eg:.

  we cannot expect that many people will suddenly convert to true christianity.

  Funny that one of the criteria for living through the coming upheaval is how you treated the annointed.

  That got me thinking about just exactly how the GB is treating the anointed.

  Theyve stripped them of all power and prestige by claiming that only the GB speaks for God (well the GB and some vague other things inferred by G. Jackson (rocks crying out maybe?)

  By doing this they took away the prestige and honor shown them by the publishers as well as effectively placing a gag order on them to say anything at all.

  Hows that for how you treat the annointed?

  On the bright side however, the GB scrupulously avoids using the word "rapture".

  Whats not to like?

  The Spiritual Man According to WTBTS

  who is a spiritual man according to wtbts?.

  this post will resonate most with people who have been long associated with jws and have seen a dramatic change in the spirituality of traveling overseers over the years..

  how does a man get appointed as a circuit overseer?

  Bottom line...there is nothing special about the Jehovah"s Witnesses anymore. They aren't even Jehovah"s Witnesses anymore...just JW's (JW.org).

  This is SO true! As is your statement below!

  What the hell happened?

  Psychology: Sick of Elder Low tone slow paced talk

  by Aprostate Exam in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  now after 21 years in professional psychology/humanities, i love talking to brothers that adopt a slow pace in speech, and low tone of voice when they deal with the rank and cold un-associated ones.

  my mirroring their present state in personality seems to psych them out for a bit.

  i then tap into my fast injection of logical sense, that throws them off.

  Just went over and read the actual comment.

  Maybe Bro Jay is a Bethelite?

  If they have plants here to watch what is being said - why not there? I would think especially there!

  I have an account there. I started it when I began to feel myself slipping spiritually and just couldnt stomach the local devious elders. I thought maybe if I broadened my viewpoint it would help me.

  I started a membership here too.

  Guess which one helped me?

  The folks over there didnt ring true to me. I think they are all striving to "chin up" to the perceived tone.

  Basically they are all trying to out spiritual one another. Im sure some there know that and are unsatisfied but dont know what to do.

  That would have described me at one point.

  Thats pretty funny!

  What always gets to me is when they say Jehovah all long and drawn out

  "Ja- HO- va"

  with that long drawn out HO

  so nausea inducing.

  Are those chairs even up to code?

  Isnt there a thought given to a little room in between?

  That looks SO uncomfortable - not to mention ugly.

  I've decided to make a difference that REALLY matters

  by Mrs. Eden in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  hello friends!today is a sad day for me, as seven months have gone by since my mother passed away after a decades-long fight with breast cancer..

  because the witnessing/preaching/teaching work doesn't make any sense to me anymore; because it's not about any "truth"; and because it's basically useless, i've decided to quit doing it.

  instead, i've decided to do something that actually can make a real difference in other people's lives.

  First of all hugs to you sweetie on the loss of your mom. It is hard coming up to that first anniversary.

  But you have just done something that will have a tangible impact in honoring your mothers memory.

  Very inspiring.

  Painted, I love your carefree approach to this!

  I would be freakin livid if something like that was kept from me...although, after reading the rest of the posts it doesnt sound like it was a drama of the type we are used to (where he would have come home as an Arab LOL) so I am guessing it is some kind of sound check rehearsal or such.

  Did/does he work in a dept.?

  Still lovin your laid back "tude" about it though!
