  spiritually sick

  i thought of this today.

  when i first told a certain person i didn't believe the gb were the faithful slave, that person told me i was spiritually sick....even bought me flowers.

  i threw the vase away because i couldn't look at it without thinking how i was judged spiritually sick.

  I was and am considered "Spiritually Weak or Sick" because I'm no longer easy fooled by Watchtower 's nonsense. I Question it.

  Watchtower is Run Like the Mafia

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. bible

  anybody else notice this?

  the have a syndicate (governing body) regional bosses (district overseers), captians (circuit overseers), and elders are their "made men" that enforce policy at street level.

  if you run your mouth too much, they wipe out your whole family (disfellowshipping).

  Exercise Patience Regional Convention

  by Rattigan350 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the theme of the in person convention this year is "exercise patience".

  looking at the convention map, they are really using their assembly halls and they are using smaller civic centers or city arena.

  no more huge stadiums.. are they not expecting a great crowd?

  2. bible

  study article 19. how can we strengthen our faith in jehovah’s promise of a new world?.

  17 many servants of jehovah have applied jehovah’s counsel to “keep in expectation”​—even for decades.

  louise, for example, began serving jehovah in 1939. she says: “at that time, i thought armageddon would come before i finished high school.

  The Sunk Cost Fallacy is heavy with older JW'S. But new JW'S especially the Pimo's are cutting their losses and going Pomo.

  mentally ill/delusional or con artist?

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  maybe this has been discussed in the past and i wasn't here... what do you think?

  are the gb members knowingly pulling a con, or do they have delusions of grandeur?

  i will go out on a limb here to say that i think they are con artist.

  No wonder the elders call on my mother. Mom in her on right has a couple of large bakeries she owns and a sizable portfolio. The elders just think about all that cash they can or even use to get from the family. Since mom lives with me and my family at the villa. The elders may call or even come by. BBut just don't get anywhere with us and mom.

  Elders are no longer teachers

  by eyeslice in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  back in the day when i was a young witness lad, you very much got the impression that at least the training as theocratic teachers was good.. even the bible reading back then had a short introduction and conclusion.

  you had to research and prepare your own ministry school talks and then perhaps you would graduate to a half of a 55 minute public talk.

  then later if you were a book study conductor, you got to decide which scriptures to read and highlight.

  Are there any new ideas coming from the Watchtower Society?

  2. beliefs

  my brother ( who is an elder ) tries very hard to get me back to the meetings.

  he calls me every time he and his son ( he's also an elder) give a public talk.

  they send me the zoom i.d.

  I don't think Watchtower has any talent in their departments. Their are going to have to hire out.

  This week's Watchtower Study - don't complain if ...

  by eyeslice in

  don't complain if you get kicked out of bethel after 23 years (it's really a blessing to be assigned back to the field) and don't complain if they sell your kingdom hall even if you have just invested your time and energy renovating it.. so encouraging?.

  When I was a young Jw I pursued going to Bethel. But after a Bethelite who moved into the hall proved to be a real pompous azz. I changed my mind and went to college.

  JWs at Culture Fest

  by peacefulpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the state university where we live has cultural festivals educating the public about art, food and music of the minorities in the community.

  it is also an opportunity for some to generate a little income selling their wares and food.

  the jws have successfully put up a booth right in the campus building and used it to actively proselytize and distribute literature.
