  Can you discredit "wait on jehovah to fix all evil" elder's padded line even told to victims of pedophiles?

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  i am sick of being told this same crap after decades of suffering at the hands of wicked men and women, how many of you have had to fight these irrational expectations we are supposed to grin and smile when people are actively trying to screw with us and elders say .

  good it is that one should wait, even silently, for the salvation of jehovah (lamentations 3:26; titus 2:13).

  my life in the organization has not been entirely bad, there were many good people and plenty of jerks like you all experienced in this adventure we call life.

  Good answers so far. Rev 18:4 also comes to mind showing that God holds people responsible for the sins committed by the religion they belong to. IOW community responsibility.

  Why would't a JW also be under the same community responsibility?

  I remember the "Keynote Address" an hour long manuscript talk given at the DC's (especially during the 60's) where they would drone on and on and on in a rendition of deep Bible prophesy that made absolutely no sense to a kid sitting in the sun in a stadium chair. Even the adults looked like that meerkat. LOL

  Remember this scripture: kindly yoke, light load, refreshment for your soul...

  matthew 11:28-30 "come to me, all you who are toiling and loaded down, and i will refresh you.

  29 take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for i am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and you will find refreshment for yourselves.

  30 for my yoke is kindly, and my load is light.. do you remember this scripture?

  A watcher,

  "I let all that guilt tripping peer pressure go in one ear and out the other, and I continue to serve Jehovah happily."

  Are you saying that you ignore the admonition of Jehovah's spirit directed organization? If you do, how can Jehovah be happy with YOU?

  Gone for good,

  "IF YOU INTERFERE WITH MY LIFE AND FREEDOMS YOU ARE AT GREAT RISK"

  EXACTLY!!! Hubby and I have given this a lot of thought. It is in our personal best interests not to be DFed so we simply won't allow it.

  Even though elders are often pompous windbags and sometimes bullies they still have to come home to their wives and children. Paint them a clear picture verbally how their actions against you will affect not only them but their families. Some possibilities: Putting a lien on their Real Estate, which ruins a credit rating. Forcing a sale or loan of Real or Personal property to pay for your judgement against them, or a good old fashioned cash payout depleting their savings. Use your imagination. Have them picture their wives shrieking at them because they have to move into a hovel because they took you on. :)

  It seems that the comments here indicate that between 1/3-1/2 are attending for various reasons while not believing a word being said. Interesting........

  The WBT$ will brag about the huge attendance.

  2011 was my last Memorial and last time I will EVER attend anything JW. I have not MISSED them. LOL

  Attitudes of WT Society Leaders Towards " Rights " of Child Abuse Victims and Elders

  by flipper in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  these excerpts i'm sharing with you are from the july 1st, 1989 letter from the wt society to the elders and it gives outsiders a good idea of the attitude of the wt society leaders towards child abuse victims and even towards their own appointed elders.

  and it shows wt society is first, foremost, and mainly concerned about financial fallout from potential lawsuits.

  one short quote was used from this letter on the abc news nightline report about candace conti - but what i'm going to share with you will be other excerpts from that same letter that are just as, or even more revealing.

  Another aspect to consider: The WTBT$ has been threatened and sued by perps who want to keep their names and deeds secret. These criminals know ALL of their rights and exploit them to the full.

  30 mins to discuss the need to condense the meetings for service to 5 min?

  How much time did they allot for a discussion of the need to change WT policy on child abuse? As if....................

  In your response letter request the names and addresses of the 2 witnesses to whatever you are accused of and insist they be present at the JC.

  Also request the names and addresses of each elder on your committee. Point out that the addresses need to be home or work (no PO boxes) so that your attorney can have them properly served for court.

  Stress that all concerned will be INDIVIDUALLY sued not the WATCHTOWER. Have them prepare to have their PERSONAL assets attached.

  Yeah, the way the WTBT$ handles child abuse is Much better than "the world". (intended sarcasm) I wonder if that speaker would change his attitude if HIS child was a victim?
