  For the same SHADY/COVERT reasons the In-Person KH/CAs plus D2D is reinstalled: WT is LOW on $$$$$, and they want their funding--any damn way they can get it!

  smiles=> You're absolutely right! WT is only concerned about the bottom line/profits. So, as long as this establishment gives a good amount of donations, this cultcorporation will support them throughout! 🤬

  "so the visible congregation of god's people has $omething to do with the provision of salvation today.

  indeed, it has an important place in that provision.

  Picture #2 does actually show what the Big A Survivors are going to get themselves into. Seeing bodies of deceased people is MACABRE enough; handling them to dig their graves is going to be another HEINOUS sight to behold. (Imagine the SPIMIs who will firstly: 😨😱, and secondly: 🤢🤮 when they see that they are assigned to handle that!) 🤷🏽‍♀️

  Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?

  by smiddy3 in

  2. experiences

  when i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.

  which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?

  sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

  Playing music. I had to SNEAK to musical instrument classes in high school and tell my PPIMI parents and SPIMI grandparent that I was being tutored after school for academic classes--especially since I didn't do well on specific exams. My music teacher helped me and some of my relatives who attended the same school because he had a couple of relatives who were dubs and was told that the Borg was discouraging children/yung wuns from participating in the arts. So, now that I'm in my late 50s, I'm still taking more music instruction--and getting better at it plus enjoying it more! 🎹🥁🎸🎷🎺

  No doubt WT would want the R&F to schedule their vacays to go to those studios in addition to Warwitch--and not to go on NORMAL vacays to theme parks, cruises, road trips, etc. Ugh!!🤢🤮

  Grow up as a JW.

  2. experiences

  maybe a bit silly topic but i was watching some youtube films of the city where i grew up as a jw child.

  i saw some youngsters fishing.. i was never allowed to:.

  fishing, playing after school with boys from the neighbourhood, sing songs: birthday, christmas, santa claus (sinterklaas that is 5th dec), celebrate and treat your birthday, playing soccer/football with wordly boys in a club, dating girls untill i just did at 21 (yes jw girls, one kiss a week), work week, senior trip with the class, go to disco, have long hair in the seventies, wear jeans.. now the old bastards in their ninetees are wondering why we don’t want to see them anymore.

  The Borg wants the whole R&F to be ABNORMAL/ISOLATED, even if they engaged in these activities in their past lives. Every decade/year/month/week/day/hour/second HAS TO BE WT-RELATED. ONLY EVIL people want this and WORSE for other people--whether they deal with people or not. 🤬

  Bring on the YOUNG elders

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there seems to be a push to fast track the younger men to become elders.

  beings jesus was 30 when he took up his ministry, i would think that would sort of be an age gauge...the older men were to have their children in subjection, so some were old enough to have children that were old enough to want to rebel.

  ( that's my slant ) how will the ones who have been jw for years respond to being counseled by those younger than some of their grandchildren?

  This cultcorporation is actually encouraging born-in children and children of VZs (Visitors: People who are studying) to become dedicated and get baptized regardless of the fact that they may be as young as pre-school age. The Borg is looking forward to more SUBLIMINAL INDOCTRINATIONS plus FOGging to seep into the minds of these yung wuns; influencing them to become PIOS and from that title to MSs and eventually Elduhs. #HOWDAMNDREADFUL! 🤬

  Did you ever meet someone born in the 1800’s?

  by Fisherman in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i met freddie franz who was born in the 1880’s and many others from the 1880’s.

  but as a very small child i remember someone very old aged 106 and that person was born around 1856 which means that he was around people from the 1700’s..

  My grandmother passed away at age 94 in 1990. She was not a dub (NI= Never In), and she was the sweetest, kindest person anyone would ever want to meet. The good thing about her was that she could see through the Borg's rhetoric [and this was when GB1.0 (Sidlik, Schroeder, Jaracz, Swingle, etc.) was living. I really miss her very much!😥

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

  by smiddy3 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  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! 👏🏽👍🏽
