Jehovah`s Witness Elders who were Business men in The Congregations I Attended.

by smiddy3 in

a number of topics have covered work experiences by members who have encountered crticism for having a full time job .in the last few congregations i had attended this was never an issue as elders had businesses they owned and employed brothers and sisters .. while i personally never worked for a jw, both my young sons did at one time or another and my wife did also .i have always worked full time in secular employment and have never been criticised for doing so .and to my knowledge nobody else ever had that experience.. in the first cong.i attended an po as they were called at the time was an insurance agent and his bro.

was an assistant po also worked with the same ins,agency.. other congs,i attended one elder was an owner of a cabinet making firm while about 3 other different elders were self employed builders who ran their own business and employed others to work for them .. at the same time a couple of ms servants had their own plastering business going on supporting these elders business.. so i`m just wondering whether this is just depending on where you are from in the world and what time period we are talking about.. the time i`m talking about was in the sixties and seventies and the area was in s.e.

qld.

LongHairGal=> I know what you mean. There are dubs (SPIMIs, particularly) who would be overly critical of the type of jobs plus the educational background of dubs they don't personally like/disrespect.

Also, within a few past congs I attended, brothers, regardless of their titles, were encouraged to be leery of sisters who had college/ university degrees, attended business school, and had certain types of employment. This included sisters who lived on their own! These bros were influenced to date plus marry sisters who only obtained a high school diploma/ GED, worked either temp or part-time, and lived at home with their parents/guardians! They did not want sisters who were classified as INDEPENDENT--the POV of those in the congs who had backward/reactionary stinkin' thinking. Welp, for those sisters who didn't get hooked up with the likes of those, I applaud them--they are FREE and don't have to deal with those sorts of problems! 👏🏽👍🏽

New and improved?

by tenyearsafter in

i have a family member who had been df'ed for 15 years or so...recently they reinstated as a jw.

when i asked what motivated them to make that decision, the response was to be able to see family and old friends.

they insisted that things were different now.

The Borg has changed mainly via GB2.0 more so to get more CONTROL in order to get more $$$$$. Their SUBLIMINAL INFLUENCE over the R&F (SPIMIs, particularly) to encourage NIs, VZs plus exdubs to return is MIND-NUMBING; they want them to LOVE BOMB folks to death. All of this FAKENESS is a nefarious means to an end, anyways.

Elders won't tell you who have falsely accused you

by enoughisenough in

having been a victim of this practice twice, i thought i would see if others had the same experience.

on one occassion, i was before the elders being told i was drunk on a certain day at a certain time.

( this was only brought up because when i was pushing for a meeting because of elder mr x adultery , i was threatened somethings would be brought out about me if i persued the meeting.

One of my exdub relatives was excused of "having unscriptural dealings with men". This false accusation came out of the mouth of a very arrogant/narcissistic/boisterous/nosey-yet-popular S-D-PIMI/RP. My relative (cousin) was given a ride home from work by one of her supervisors (her department worked on a project until quite late that evening). When the supervisor dropped her off, and she shook his hand to thank him before she can shut the car door, that S-D-PIMI/RP (with another SPIMI dub) walked past by them, trying to look into the supervisor's car. She thereafter remarked: "Jah knows about what CERTAIN brothers and, in this case, sisters are actually doing behind closed doors! Well, I think we should let this be known!". These 2 biddies walked quickly away.

Sometime during the following week, cuz was called into the backroom by 2 elduhs, who questioned her. She explained the situation, and they realized that there was no wrongdoing plus didn't bother her any longer about it. She asked who accused her. They told her not to worry; they cannot reveal their sources. She found out a year later that it was that S-D-PIMI/RP (who was not only not in her cong, but also not in her cong's Circuit. The bitch tattled to her elduhs who knew one of my cousin's elduhs! DAMNING!🤬

Movies that used the term Jehovah Watchtower or Witnesses!

by Witness 007 in

indiana jones 3...we had elders going to this movie.

life of brian stoning people who say jehovah...so funny!

even "supergirl" where someone knocks on the door of the secret hideout and the villain says "if that's those damn jehovahs witnesses again!

HiddlesWife

On a couple of "Law & Order: SVU" episodes, the persons-of-interest (excuse the old BorgTerm plus pun intended) who was questioned by detectives on the porches or stoops of their homes, had called out to their family member(s) that they were "speaking with JWs, again". And it's funny: All 4 main detectives dressed just like dubs!

Possible Complaints From WT About JWs Going To Brunches And Going On Vacations

by HiddlesWife in

i recently heard from a few pimos and saw on the exjw reddit that the above topic was discussed during a midweek meeting (clam).

the reddit member mentioned that there were complaints from the branch that too many dubs "were posting too many vacation and brunch pictures [on social media] when that time could have been spent in service!

if this is reality--and knowing this cultcorporation, i wouldn't be a bit surprised--they are really trying to stop the r&f/ members from enjoying normal human activities.

HiddlesWife

road to nowhere=> ANTMO plus another Helper a few years ago gave talks about this, remarking that "we can have more fun at Bethell and in the New World in paradise than at those theme parks", something to that effect. Yeah, this cultcorporation wants the funds used for NORMAL ACTIVITIES to go right straight to them in their bank accounts!

LongHairGirl=> I'm sooo glad I don't have to deal with this PROBLEM any longer. The HORRORS I've--and no doubt other dubs--have experienced (excuse the BorgTerm) while engaging in this waste-of-value-time-and-life activity, such as householders who are TIRED of this cultcorporation's rhetoric, threats, fists, kicks, knives, guns, and MONSTER dogs, were definitely dreadful memories which I don't want to deal with anymore!

GB2.0 really doesn't give a DAMN about the health, welfare nor safety of the membership, making them thinking that "angelic forces are in their midst" to protect them; where there are reports of dubs also being attacked, raped and even murdered in field circus! It's just a HEINOUS situation conducted by a VERY HEINOUS ORGANIZATION! 🤬

Resuming door to door September 1st

by Mikejw in

gb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.

what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.

zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

HiddlesWife

Undoubtedly the number of donations was LESS during the pandemic lockdown. I also heard from some PIMOs that if some dubs which are able-bodied stay on ZOOM, they may be classified as "Bad Association"! How friggin' asinine is this?! Sooo glad I'm out! 👏🏽

2022 Convention Sat. Afternoon part 1

by Rattigan350 in

i found it ironic that the symposium "put away peace wrecker inappropriate boasting".

was presented by a helper to the publishing committee.

and all of the other talks were given by, if not gb members, but by helpers to the various committees.

HiddlesWife

BluesBrother, the congs have those types, whether they look like the clones of the rich and famous or the poor and obscure. GOSSIP is no longer an offense nor infraction/wrongdoing in the Borg--because EVERYBODY DOES IT!

I have been POMO for almost 15 years now, so I have a couple of questions:

Is WT taking donations from the R&F via credit and/or debit cards? Also, if a dub (PIMQ, PIMO, or PPIMI) doesn't want donations ~~siphoned~~ taken in that manner (no doubt by means of the Borg using a bank draft to their accounts), can he/she/they refuse to have this action put into force?
