  What Is It That Really Troubles the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  by orangefatcat in

  well i think what worries them the most is that more and more witnesses are becoming free thinkers and that is troubling them, it worries them that thinking freely will cause them to seek answers elsewhere and that is the last thing the gb wants.

  they have pulled the reins so tight now how much tighter can they pull before many witnesss crack under their yokes.

  what is your thoughts on this matter.. .

  Here Is How My Day Went Today and Can I Start all Over?

  today i was at my mother's house i thought i'd stop in and see how she was assuming she opened the door, she said to me that she was just reading about satan i said to her mom i am not satan and then she invited me in she said to me why are you visiting me today you know you shouldn't be here i said mom i'm concerned about your health and i wanted to know how you are and how your help this that's all.

  so she told me that she was feeling fine but i could tell otherwise as it is very evident in their eyes and the way that she moves that she is not at all well in the past month i have noticed her face was more gaunt than usual and her gait was rather slower than normal.

  we spoke for a while about how she was doing and then she got on the subject of course of religion and how disappointed she is that both my sister and i have left the organization, as i explained to her i can't be a part of the jehovah's witnesses anymore as i no longer believe it.

  a couple of days ago i was coming home from church, in the afternoon, upon entering the building i saw one on of my neighbours sitting in the foyer, she also attends the same church as i do.

  i felt as if someone was behind me and i looked up to see and i was right there was a person and she was a jehovah's witness.

  she attended the same hall as i did but a different cong.

  Did your Parents force you to do School Projects out of the JW magazines

  by orangefatcat in

  my parents wouldn't let us read anything but the watch tower stuff and if we had to do a report on anything at school it had to be a project out of an awake magazine.

  did your parents do this to you too?

  I went to the elders from my old cong.

  by orangefatcat in

  the reason i did that was because my ex husband is being, abused by his present wife.

  she beats him and puts him down at every oppourtunity, she steals his monthly goverment cheques and takes a trip and leaves him to fend for himself and he is suffering from ischemic mini strokes, she leaves him she doesn't feed him and he is so thin and sick.

  i know i was married to him for 28 years and its was n't a good marriage but hell he doesn't deserve to be treated like he is a nothing.
