  Experience with Former Elder regarding contributions at Conventions

  by Momma-Tossed-Me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i recently had the opportunity to visit with a former elder who has successfully faded without getting df'd, but he is completely aware of the sham.

  he was the main accounts guy for the conventions in his circuit.

  he related a very telling story to me the other day that i thought i would share with you.

  No written documentation is given to us, its all verbal. Only the assembly overseer has something written...

  And I'm sure none of them are about to talk as everything they get is paid for by mother organization!!!!!

  The last time I went there with my wife for an assembly...(yeahhhh, I was being nice)

  On the way out I asked her was not that assembly hall paid for?

  She answered that yes, she thought it was.

  Then why are they always running a deficit to be announced during the noon intermission......

  the scene was set: i stood amongst the enemy, brandishing my magic sword and shield.

  i enjoyed the feeling of control and power that came with my vocation: warrior wizard.

  but a chance encounter changed my life forever.

  Borg court: 3rd session & verdict

  by sd-7 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so...the third and final session was pretty straightforward.

  they basically asked some more questions about the first woman, before i got back with the woman who became my wife.

  then they asked what seemed like nothing more than a customer survey of "how are we doin'?

  I'm not going to be ashamed of trying to preserve my marriage and keep the vows that I made.

  Nice Post....

  Though our circumstances are fairly similar, all the things you were going through, I know I couldn't have persevered as you have. I know that when I found out TTATT my wife put me through the wringer, but in comparison, my path was a cakewalk.

  It is a testament that you were able to keep it together as you have.

  Good Luck to your Future....

  After telling her all of this.....she stared back at me coldly and said "is that it?"

  Ouch!!!!

  Maybe the elders would put her in her place if you had both of those conversations with her in front of them. Pull out the headship and respect card and remind her that those kids are as much yours as they are hers. Might work since the only authority JW's seem to recognize is that of the organization so if you can use what theya re supposed to believe to your advantage.....

  If that doesn't work

  Time to lawyer up...

  Take care of your kids, but if being a witness and trashing your opinion and self worth in front of the kids is that important to her, let's see if they, as in the Soceity, would be willing to pay her bills.

  Demons in the house (from yardsales to even digital purchases)

  by cognisonance in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  consider the popular jw myth: be careful what you bring home from a yard sale, it might have come from someone who has ties with witchcraft, magic, satan, etc.

  said item thus would be an instrument the demons can use to get into your home and harass you.

  so be careful of that teacup, tennis racket, or shirt you just purchased!.

  It would seem that a impromptu visit to an old catholic run rest home for the aged and infirmed would be in order. Or perhaps a shepherding visit where the brothers will hem and haw about how they are not equipped to and there should be no expectation of the soceity take care of their old and infirmed and that this should be left up to the relatives, preferably a non-JW one who'd been shunned for a long time so as not to let the JW one miss any field service.

  This is an old bullshit trick JW's use to force their conscious upon others. I've seen this played out many times from the person who starts a study then wants to throw out everything in the house that has a questionable spiritual reference even if the said item don't belong to them, to the JW who visits someone else's home and then get all bent out of shape because they don't want to watch a certain program and expect everyone else to toe the line.

  "Suggested" Donation when attending Circuit Assembly

  by BluesBrother in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i could have called this "fee now charged to go to circuit assembly" but i do not want to start rumours that go beyond what was actually said.

  the k hall announcement encouraged attendance at the upcoming assembly day.

  the elder then said that since the congregation no longer has to make a blanket donation to the assembly hall it is expected that the publishers remember their responsibility to maintain the costs.

  I remember seeing a post long ago that mentioned that the reason for the excessive expenses and that there was always a deficit was that expensed into the budget was always a prearranged resolved donation that was slated to be sent to the soceity. Of course, this resolution would not be read out to the R\F when the accounts were shared, on ly that there was a deficit and a reminder to always honor jehovah with your valuable things.

  Too bad that for your valuable things all you got in return was garbage.

  Did you know some witnesses who wanted to an Elder or M.S for the fame?

  i'm talking about how they pretend to love the congragation, but they really don't .

  they strive to be "circuit superstars" ; instead of careing for the flock .

  did you guys know any people like that while you were in ..

  My father-in -law was such as man. A superstar well respected elder in the congregation, but anywhere else, the biggest and most arrogant prick you'd ever want to meet.

  Can't talk about what took his ass down, but it was stunning and spectacular to all who "thought" they knew him.
