Qualifying For A Kingdom Hall Funeral
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
one of the most despicable things i can remember is having the elders determining whether or not you “qualified” for proper funeral services in a kingdom hall and if the talk could be given by an elder.

people are hurting terribly and the family is then told, even though the deceased was a member of the congregation, they still weren’t good enough to qualify for proper burial services per the congregation!

blonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.

the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?

" this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.

Struggling to Live a Lie
by Addison0998 in
1. jw
2. friends
it’s been very difficult, much more than i first anticipated to live a lie, (be pimo and a regular active member) i still live with my parents but i plan on moving out at the end of the year, so i really need to keep it together.

but i think people are starting to get suspicious that something is up.

i’ve stopped commenting, going on service all the time, talking at the door, and occasionally voicing something, such as a question that no one has a good answer for, that makes people think, but ahah, thinking is dangerous and wrong so that is suspicious of course.

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism
by BluesBrother in
1. watchtower
2. bible
suffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.

it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.

they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

Withdrawing community support in the congs
by purrpurr in
1. jw
2. friends
i've noticed in the past 10 years that the social support that used to be available in the congs, a shoulder to cry on, elders to help with family/marriage issues these seem to have been purposely withdrawn.

counsel is even heard from the platform that the elders are not there to help people with their problems.. so first in the 80s-90s they take away the congregation get to getters and social events and now they seem to be going one step further in taking away the emotional support for people too.. this will take away an aspect that i'm sure was keeping alot of people in the borg, the community support.

if that's not there and its just about meetings and ministry how many will start to get their emotional support elsewhere?.
