  Are Witnesses really "Bible Students"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we were always told that as witnesses we were "sincere bible students".... carefully examining the scriptures.. yes, we were indeed taught much about the content of the bible, it's history, prophecies etc..... but it was always from one perspective....that of the society.

  when the society changed its interpretations, we had to do the same..... so were we really "bible students", or "society students"?.

  just a thought.....

  Nice quote Punk. Always loved that one.

  A bible student studies the bible, not magazines and books.

  So maybe a compromise is in order and maybe just do Sunday's here and there for a while then stopping all together. Going to the clam is a nightmare and far worse than the Sunday's.

  What's kinda sad about all of this is I have fully explained why this organization is messed up over a period of probably 6 months. She fully knows TTATT but she refuses to do her own research to get it herself. She doubts the organization as much as I do and she doesn't believe the bible to be inspired by God. It's all about the shunning. She doesn't want to lose contact with her fully in Mom and Dad. I get that.

  So it has been weeks since the wife and I have been to meetings. It has been nothing short of wonderful!!! To feel the veil lift and to experience the lifting of fog has been liberating.

  So we go to the meeting yesterday because I needed to turn in my secret book and keys to hall. Sitting through it was tiresome and that annoying headache that I hadn't had in weeks quickly returned. Of course the brothers assure me that I can be reappointed as soon as I'm ready. (That ain't happening!!)

  After the meeting I tell the wife what a nightmare it is to be there and to lie to people in that I feel like I'm pretending to be someone I no longer am. Don't get me wrong, I love the people. I hate the pressure the Eltards put on the wife and I to "recover" and "get back in it". I actually had dreams last night about lying to the brothers in a judicial setting.😡 And because of that I seriously feel depressed as all hell today.

  Now she wants to go to the meetings again to "save face". I don't know what to do. I hate and I mean HATE going there. I feel as though by attending I am a sharer in the wrongs of the organization.

  Help!!!!!!!

  Todays WT about young people not following the bad example of their parents

  by konceptual99 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so the wt today had some paragraphs that told young people they could make their own stand for da troof.... 2 since we live in a fierce, loveless world, it is no surprise that many children have to grow up without the benefit of loving, protective parents.

  (2 tim.

  3:1-5) many christians today come from painful family backgrounds, but they have built close friendships with jehovah.

  Wow how strange that must have been to only see one sucker getting baptized. I know at the last assimilation we were down a little from normal. Attendance was down a bit as well even know we had a rock star GB member at our 1 day.

  Interested to see how many people get baptized at this next one and accounts report. I'll try to record it this time. 😬

  Circuit Overseer Coming For Lunch – Everything Has to be Perfect

  by SAHS in

  2. friends

  we have the circuit overseer’s visit this week, and my folks are having him and his wife over for lunch today.

  of course, i’m making it a point of hightailing it out of there to have my lunch elsewhere.

  when my mom asks me “why don’t you stay and meet him,” i just say, “well, he’s just a man like everybody else.” she says, “well, of course.

  Typical for when the CO comes for a visit. I even had one come by once. Made him a gluten free pizza because he had celiac disease. In and out in 40 minutes, just enough time to get his ass back to the hall. Didn't say a word in the way back. That was a long 15 minutes.😕

  Then on Sunday my wife bought him a pizza stone. Guess who became a MS after that visit?😎

  I see it all the time by the eltards in my current congregation. Makes me sick the way these women are treated and what's sad is they just take it. I know one in particular who gets verbally berated right in front of people for the stupidest things.

  One day she is gonna cut his pee pee off.
