little things that make you see the "truth" about this religion

i had tears in my eyes at work today.

there was an arbor day celebration and some teenagers had some speeches and they planted a tree...most people would not be as touched by the events today as i was but one of the women recieving an award said that she was proud of these children because they were doingsomething good for the communtiy...and i was proud of them too, but i was sad for jw's who would think these children are "bad" just because they are not witnesses...or the jw who would not let their children associate with these teenagers or even be part of a "wordly" club..that's what made me sad, all those years i missed looking at the little beautiful things in life in a positive light and not the negative debbie downer way jw's look at things..

This is one of the MAIN things I really disliked about the WT&TS. After a while I started feeling like they were being very mean spirited and selfish, by having all that money and not giving back to the community their Kingdom Hall's were located at. They refuse to help anybody who is not a JW and they don't even help their own members - if they are in need of temporary assistance (lost their job, can't pay the light bill, no groceries, etc). They look to the local brothers and sisters to personally help them out (if that even happens) and really they don't even care what going on personally with their members, just as long as they don't miss an afternoon of field service pushing their rag-tag magazines.

No outreach funds, monies are there to help the community where the KH's are located or their members. They just horde all that money for real estate transactions, luxury overseas trips for the GB, UN dues and fees, building and construction, legal counsel and any other bullshit they can spend that money on that does not directly benefit their members or the community at-large.

Did U Ever "Stumble" Anyone? Were U Ever "Stumbled: By Another?

by minimus in

the reason many jws forgo things is because they are afraid of "stumbling" a brother or sister.

just in case---they make it a point to not do or say something that could cause a person to leave "the truth".. i knew of some witnesses that were always "stumbled" by this or that.. so silly..

How can you stumble someone when its all a big fraud.

Changed my Last Will and Testament

i had to change my will and insurance policy and remove my relative who is still a witnesses as a beneficiary of my life insurance policy and exclude them from receiving any of my assets.

i hated to do it but i did not want them giving any of my money to the wts if i pass away.

i know if i left them anything they would look at it as a 'blessing from jehovah' and would definitely take any monies i left them and put some of it in the contribution box.

exwhyzee - LOL - Yep, I'm leaving every single dime and everything I own to my adult child. I changed everything over the last few weeks.

ShirleyW - Glad for you. The WTS has taken, taken, taken and given nothing to their members or their member's families in return.

Selfish blind greed is the best words to describe them in this instance. They love to store up treasures on earth!

@ james_woods - Even more of a reason why I can't allow them to get a dime of my money in any way.

I was actually leaving my relative a percentage of my insurance policy and some of my assets. It is of course more important to me to leave my only adult child an inheritance but I was trying to 'look out' for my closest sibling by leaving them something as well. Well, since they have abandoned our relationship for the JW's, then I have no choice but to exclude them from my will.

I didn't want to do it put because they are so wrapped in the cult, I had to make sure none of my hard earned money or assets would end up in the hands of society in anyway.

I know if I left them anything they would look at it as a 'blessing from Jehovah' and would definitely take any monies I left them and put some of it in the contribution box. So unfortunately I have to remove them from getting anything and leave 100% of my money and assets to my child.

WTBTS do no wrong in the eyes of believers?

by Momma-Tossed-Me in

jw
friends

the wtbts has enjoyed a well insulated capsule of people for a long time.

the amount of adherents that left was minimal because of the thick wall of fear.

they are riding on a sharp edge that with one great movement one way or the other could ruptre and cause great hemmoraghing.

I don't know how they can keep producing paper magazines, when the world is going more and more digital and many organizations are promoting a 'green' lifestyle of less paper. Who wants these magazine piling up in their home? Many newspapers and magazine outfits are struggling because people (especially young people) want their news and information in real-time at the tip of their fingertips. I think their printing days are numbered; they are as relevant as the library. If it's a losing battle to keep printing the way they do (at least in the U.S.) how will they keep their members distracted from what's really going down in the bOrg?

Menlo Park Scandal: Can ACLU Step in to Aid the Three God-fearing Elders?

by Scott77 in

iam wondering, cannot aclu step in to aid the three good elders in their fight to safe the kingdom hall from the greedy watchtower?

here is the their contacts.

i recall, at one or another, the watchtower has used the free legal support of aclu with good results.

It's crazy what's happening to these brothers. Clearly, they gave this organization trust they never earned or deserved.

I wonder to myself if they did not hear through the grapevine about this kind of thing (amending their non-profit article of corporation to have their property surrendered to the Watchtower Society) happening to other congregations before it hit their doors? Too trusting and now the property has been strong-armed out of their possession and the poor brothers have been runover and villainized by The Machine.

This is so blatantly wicked I can't see how the witnesses in that congregation could continue to go to that KH knowing damn well what went down, break out their song books and keep singing and acting like they can't wait for everything to blow over. Talk about straight up brain-dead zombies!

What is even more puzzling to me is that the brothers in this action, have yet to retain an attorney, request monetary damages or speak out very publicly about this matter to bring attention to sheer greed, bullying, lies, thievery and deceit of the WT&TS.
