they could try this:.
.
a brother in a local congregation has successfully faded, no announcements or judicial hearings that anyone has heard of.. his immediate family are all out, but they have lots of family still in.. if he had joined another religion, or the army, or put up christmas lights, likely the elders would be hounding them like crazy.. but no, he has accepted evolution(it seems to be common knowledge).. i would have thought this would be a disfellowshipping offense, but lots of time has passed, and they just leave them all alone..
Suppose a long time faithful person experiences some personal tragedies and expresses to the eldubs his disbelief in God. He basically no longer believes in a God or that God is interested in people.
Is there the possibility that this person would be left alone?
last night, during our "christian life and ministry" meeting, we had a session on local needs.
elder opened the talk with a disclaimer saying that this was a reminder (cited psalms about how david loved jehovahs reminders).
he reminded us of how bless we are of having our own local assembly hall.
Receiving less money at assemblies? Who? What?
5 years ago a typical day was $10000. Now they are $24000 per day. How is that less?
i'm watching the jw movie the prodigal son returns.. it is a masterpiece of indoctination and what i would call a "cult" classic.. it's about two brothers who work for their father's construction firm.
the older one is the most spiritual and the younger one isn't.
he befriends al, a weak brother, who persuades him to take a job in the city and move there.. it shows the "world" in the worst possible light.
Similar to that "What is True Love?" movie. They make it appear that if you marry a "worldly" or "spiritually weak" person, your life is destined to go right into the shitter.
These movies are designed to put the "fear of the world" in its observers so they think that it has nothing of value to offer.
the new midweek meeting has been running for a month now.
here are my thoughts on how it is going so far:.
1) elders are looking frazzled from being on virtually every meeting and having to prepare unfamiliar formats for items.
I haven't been to the new meeting in person yet this year but I did listen a few times over the phone. It's like listening to a train wreck. The brothers are for the most part completely frazzled and sound like blundering idiots. The first talk is absolutely boring as all hell and the demos are sleepers.
Taking any last bit of individuality out of the meeting killed it dead.
this piece of cheese?
Anyone?
im on my phone, so im really limited.
i came out to my family about my doubts and my sexuality.
shit hit the fan.
Glad to hear your well Magotan. I just read your story and while I'm happy for you that you got out, it's too bad about you family.
I often wonder if there is going to be a mass realization that this cult is so full of shit and how these people will feel when they recall how they treated their fellow family and friends. Shame that they would put an organization ahead of blood. 😡
i propose that we make pintrest accounts and start openly challenging this crap.. .
seriously.... any suggestions?
this crap cannot be left unchallenged.
"window cleaning squeegee"
LOL Punk you made my day with that one!!
These poor kids getting trapped at such a young age. What's sad is when I do go to the kingdom hell I see these sad faces kids all over. I'm so glad my kids won't be raised in this disgusting cult!!
