If JWs were to change their name what would they change it to?

by slimboyfat in

was it 1931 when they adopted jehovah's witnesses?

(at the time with lower case w) isn't it about time now they changed name again?

i mean everything else is changing why not the name!

Elder continues serving as elder after his daughter got disfellowshipped!

by hardtobeme in

this is what is happening in a spanish congregation in our area.

this happened 3 weeks ago.

this brother conducted the school and after the school was over, another elder gave the announcement: "( name of the person) is not longer a jehovah's witness".

I agree the bros in spanish need elders mine is down to 4

CO visit; going to meeting.

by SG098 in

hello everyone!just a little background info, i haven't been to a meeting in over a year.

my wife has asked me to go with her tonight to help watch our son since it's the circuit overseers visit...my wife wants to be able to pay attention and get something out of the meeting since our son is 1yr old he can be a handful some times.. a few things of note about the situation:.

- i'm going to the meeting no matter what.

Khaleesi

@SG089: I remembered when I first heard this recording, which I loved the way you handled it, I couldn't believe what the elder said at the end how more important turning your time in is in comparison to sin... was shocked... but did you stop reporting your time after this discussion with them?

Anyway, I like how one eyed joe put it: i would do them same "we miss you" " oh really?, because I didn't get a call or text" .. . Just classic, i will use that next time myself....

"Are you coming back?" = No, I am just here to help my wife & babysit my 1 year old today...

"Great meeting"= which part?

JW mother wants to send her son to a mental institute for being atheist & wanting to go to college

by Khaleesi in

i am not sure if this was posted before.

i am the mother of an 10 year old and i would have never treated my son like this for wanting to go to college, believes in evolution & is an atheist...i am disgusted how this jw mother can't see how her son has the freedom of thought or religion.... this poor kid most likely does not do drugs or is in a street gang, he just wants to go to college for crying out loud.... this is insane, just shows how a religion or organization blinds all logic from you... it's a cult..... i know there are many cult jws parents out there who would do this, its insane and disgusting.... where is the love you say you should have towards your children?

this is straight out abuse.... read the article but scroll down for the recording.... .

Being positively recognized

by menrov in

hi, for over a year, i stopped attending meeting and field service.

actually, passively disassociated from the congregation.

but i did not stop reading and doing my own research.

Khaleesi

I agree too, since my awakening & fading I donate more to charities & when I see homeless people asking for money I give them & leave it on their conscious as to what they want to spend on...

My coworkers have said I looked less stress & anxious, I actually engage in their conversations alot more & don't judge them or what they do in their lives, not my business. ..

Is zeal beginning to vanish?

by Caupon in

jw
friends

it has to be starting to fade somehow.

the very last time i went out in field service, hardly any were out.

maybe just about nine people were out and man if you could just see their faces.

Khaleesi

I do believe many JWs are just burned out & the schedule is soo perfunctory that it gets soo exhausting.... there were many times by the end of the service mtg we would have rainy days debate whether to go out D2D or not people start talking having hot coco & coffee, that is the time i would see them get all happy for just associating.... & especially cuz D2D was cancel no one would say it's canceled but it was implied.... I'm soo glad I don't do any of that anymore

What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

Khaleesi

Last straw? I concur with many that it was many straws but the one that did it was how they treated Ray Franz & Ed Dunlap & many of bros being thrown out to the "world" from Bethel worse than dogs... then the horror stories from many being shun by their families for just walking away from the WT ( I don't have family in JWs so it never affected me personally) but watching & hearing videos of heartbreaking parents, children, sisters, brothers, etc of being shun angers me ..., I also felt disgusted what this organization has done to many children victims of child sexual abuse, not reporting it to authorities, that's a huge no no for me, then when elders & Jeffrey Jackson was asked in the ARC, if he had watched the trial or read the victims statements & said no... i saw how evil & arrogant they are & they don't care about our children...

Going to see Star Wars:The Force Awakens - What are you seeing?

by fulltimestudent in

this is not an attempt to 'straightjacket' anyone into a fixed interpretative perspective.

so set your mind free and see satan and his demons if you reallynwant to adopt a possible jw perspective.

or, just sit back and watch the show and the trick affects if you want.. or like the uk guardian you could see the movie in terms of dysfunction (personal and family).. quote: the original movies were always based on the most extraordinary nexus of personal and family dysfunction: a motor of guilt, shame and conflict.

Khaleesi

Great movieee, just saw it.... has the same magic as the originals!!!!

Will see it again at the Chinese theater in Hollywood, major screen!
