Qualifying For A Kingdom Hall Funeral

by minimus in

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!

Yeah, what do we do with suicides? Can we still love them or not? They are murders you know....

JUNE 2019 Watchtower: Higher Education - HQ & Bethels are populated with evil, educated folks!

by The Fall Guy in

how alienated from jehovah and un-christian so many bethelites must be, who finished their higher education and gained their degrees!

i don't know how they can live with their consciences!.

pages 6 & 7, pars.

new boy

Yes, I made a big mistake by getting more educated. I know now why Jehovah really wants his people to be stupid. The worst thing for a mindless drone is more education.... who knows we could start something like critical thinking and we all know how dangerous that could be!

The Fading Loop Hole

my father in law (robert stillman) killed himself in 1993. after the "new light" came out in 1981 we could no longer have limited contact with dis-fellowedshipped persons.

after years of being shunned by his only family he blow his brains out with a 38 special.

at the time of his death, the only thing bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the society’s rules and regulations was smoking.

new boy

This is true but since this was almost 20 years ago and my Father didn't have the stigma of the classification of being DAed or DFed my ex wife didn't seem to mind his visits. For her like many others JWs it was out of sight and out of mind.

“Millions now living will never die”

by HappyBlessedFree in

so i’m just reading the part in ray franz book “crisis of conscience” about the 1925 prediction of “millions now living will never die”.. ofcourse all witnesses are very familiar with this campaign.

yet none of us ever had an issue with it, including myself.

since the booklet was published in 1920, we are one year away from 100 years from that time.

new boy

They changed the name of the book before it's release. It was suppose to be "Millions now living will soon be dead!"

At the time of his death, the only thing Bob was doing that wasn’t in line with the Society’s rules and regulations was smoking. He wasn’t living in sin or doing any other type of gross immorality, but because he left the organization back in 1958, thirty-five years earlier, he could no longer have association with his children or grandchildren.

Yet my father, who left the organization back in 1961, was still smoking at the time of Bob's death. I’m sure my father was fornicating, stealing and just about anything else you can think of. Yet he could come up to visit his children and his grandchildren anytime he liked. How could that be? How could he do that? Because he was no longer dis-fellowshipped; he was reinstated back in 1965. However, after he was reinstated, he just dropped out for good, or “faded away” as the Witnesses like to call it nowadays.

Just one of the many loopholes and double standards that they don’t want you to know about.

Question? How Many Hours of Field Service Does it Take

by new boy in

jw
friends

currently, to create one new jehovah's witness convert?.

new boy

It looks like in the year 2018 it took 13,880 hours of preaching to create on new convert.

However as was all know the vast amount of new converts are "born ins" I would guess as high as even 80% if this is true it would take 55,520 of hours of field service activity to find one new non "born in" member.

Or basically someone going out in field service for 8 hours a day for over 19 years to find one new fool to join this group!

Cool aid anyone?
