  Poetry JW style. Yuk!

  by NikL in

  1. jw

  here is an example of what passes for thought provoking poetry among the dubs.

  (try not to hurl).... of all my years as a witness, the times were not always good.. too many mistakes were being made, the brothers not doing what they should.. as i look back now there are times, i can recall, when i did not even look forward to going to the kingdom hall.. the brothers showed no love.. they didn't seem to care.. the elders were unyielding, demanding and unfair.. meetings were dull and boring; field service was a chore.. there wasn't much of a "pioneer spirit,".

  while going from door to door.. it would not get any better, as i hoped it would.. i knew the day was coming when i would leave jehovah's house for good.. but happily, it's so different now, jehovah has been so kind.. he has allowed me a wonderful congregation to find.. the spirit is so strong here.. the brothers really care.. i couldn't be more happy if i were anywhere!.

  I was wondering is anyone else had noticed that cycle that happens with so many JWs.

  Starts with poor Mr and Ms depressed dub unhappy in local cong. They see all the hypocracy, lies, cheating, lack of love, clicks, backbiting, etc going on, but still "wait on Jehovah" to fix everything. Finally things get bad enough that they a) switch halls if in a city w/ multiple halls, or b) move to a new place.

  New place = the typical love bombing that often occurs to new ones. However, months or years go by and the veils are lifted on the true conditions in the new hall - it's the same as the last one! So they eventually a) switch halls if in a city w/ multiple halls, or b) move to a new place.

  Repeat as often as needed.

  Theists, on the other hand, believe that something even more complex, that nobody has ever seen or has any evidence exists, has always existed!

  Ha ha, how true. I always struggled with that one, I mean, you go around trying to tell people "Obviously all these things were created by SOMEONE, you don't think a house just created itself do you?" While out of the other side of our mouths we were claiming that some all powerful, all knowing, always existing god/spirit creature did indeed "Just happen". Of course, that fell into the realm of 'wait on Jehovah to explain' since our feeble human brains cannot wrap around that catch-22.

  Ha ha ha ha, you have to check the latest WT to see if it's OK to cook your hubby a nice turky dinner! And in the end, what help do you really get?

  "Some Christian wives might be able to do so with a good conscience."

  And the incredible wisdom of:

  "Of course, a Christian wife should think of others - the effect on them"

  No wonder JWs are all head cases. Do you or don't you. If you do should you sneak shop at midnight least some poor unsuspecting Brother Weakling see you purchasing a turkey? Should you lock the doors and draw the shades as you cook the aposate turkey - Brother Weakling might be peeking through the windows you know. What if the turkey ends up being demonized? Will it call out to it's little smurf freinds? Will Jehovah help you fight the demon turkey - after all you probably shouldn't have been cooking it in the first place!

  Let's get to the meat here Mr WT writer - tell us how to cook our demonized turkey!

  i caught this on a link from a link from a link.

  the group known as the christian congregation of jehovah's witnesses disavowed corporal punishment as an acceptable way to discipline children, said j.r. brown, a national spokesman for the jehovah's witnesses.. "it has nothing to do with the religion,'' brown said.

  If so he's right, they're all doing it ...

  BEAT that Child!

  this is sort of a continuation of threads on dubs and how they are conditioned to discipline their children.

  someone questioned whether the society actually encouraged dubs to whup their children.

  i only had enough time to dig up a few salient quotes from the wt magazine.

  This reminds me how my parents would constantly remind me that in old time Isreal I would have been stoned to death for <insert bad behaviour here>. No doubt made them feel better when whipping a young child. How loving that now god doesn't require parents to participate in casting a horrible death upon their children! Someone forgot to tell this freak of a father about that "new Light" though ...

  i cannot forget this little girl.. ezekiel 34:12 this is what the sovereign lord says: i am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock.

  i will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves.

  i will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them".
