  Back in the day, I heard an elder telling the congregation that we shouldn’t watch The Simpsons... (bad and corrupting “association”)...

  Ridiculous. Especially when they put out calls for special workers at Bethel or building projects, etc., where they need engineers, lawyers, or dentists or other qualified professionals to do some free or grunge work for them!!

  Sister may have had a slight heart attack, do I text her?

  by Xanthippe in

  so my cousin phoned and told me my jw sister was taken to hospital with chest pains and it may have been a slight heart attack or possibly she's starting with angina.

  now as some of you know my sisters and brother have had little to do with me for 29 years.

  we've met at funerals, or arranged them, but i just thought today what if she did die?

  Love the replies and responses.... you need to do what you think is best and I like the idea of coming from a place of compassion and kindness, and looking back with no regret ...

  They are brainwashed, and caught up in a clever propagandic scheme of which they have no clue.... protect yourself, but I also believe that compassion and kindness ultimately outweigh and trump their dark, gloomy, sheltered, fearful, and isolationist viewpoints whether they recognize it or not.

  quite frankly im disturbed at the lack of love and compassion.

  especially for the first sister they talk about!.

  omg.

  ... do you notice how they make the sisters sickly or weak or old, and the brother vibrant and healthy and working hard on building projects? The sisters get more field service hours in, yet poof, away should their titles go, though maybe allowing the older sister to be on the “infirm” list, while the brother helping create valuable real estate keeps his, though he may be in for some counsel for daring to take a personal holiday ...

  Don't you think that some people are just better off within the org?

  by paradiseseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is my first post, i will introduce myself later.

  first of all, i must say that english is not my mother tongue (i'm spanish), so excuse me if i make any mistake.. do you think that some people simply can't cope with being outside the jws?

  some of them are too worldlyphobic to be around non-jws, too dependent on a fixed set of rules in order to carry on with their lives, too dependent on the hope of paradise and resurrection, too unable to leave their personal comfort zone within the organization.

  Old Navy - re: your post on page 4 - I meant to like your post and I accidentally hit dislike, then thought I could “toggle” it off, and gave you another dislike! Eep! So sorry!

  I’ve tried to “like” your post again, so hopefully it works. If you see 2 dislikes, that was fumbly, bumbling me!
