  i don't post here too much..i am more of a lurker.

  but, wanted to share recent conversation with jw family member.. one of my jw relatives recently went to visit another jw relative that is "serving where the need is great",.

  when my jw relative returned home and i was talking with him, who is an older jw who has been in for over 50 years, was so excited to tell me about the special talk.

  Should this Body of elders be considered blood guilty?

  over the weekend a very nice, caring individual was killed in a car accident after meeting.

  she was 32 y/o and has a 3 year old daughter.

  her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck.

  Of course the funeral talk today turned into a way to preach to "worldly" people, and after the talk was over 3 announcements were given. The very first announcement was that if anyone was interested in learning more about what they heard, that they could speak to an attendant, get some literature from the counter, or go to the jw.borg website.

  and just learned last night they didn't cancel meeting because it was a brothers first public talk, and a bethelite made the trip from New York to see it.

  Yes the young child was ok. It has always bothered me how much they push the meetings and not to miss them no matter the circumstances. I can remember driving thru snowstorms to go to meeting when i was young, because if they weren't cancelled then you were more or less expected to be there. Most of the other cong. cancelled meeting on sunday (I cant confirm if all did). I just feel like the BOE should feel some responsibility for their lack of "caring" for the flock.

  Has anyone else collected their money back from local Kingdom Halls for money loaned for construction?

  by StoneWall in

  1. jw

  just a reminder if you haven't, to get it back before they sell any more halls.even if you're currently da/df you can still collect any monies owed you by the kingdom hall as far as loans go.we were able to get back $1000 that my mom had loaned the local hall for a loan to build new one.it was documented by the paper that had been given each publisher back then on how much they could/would be willing to give as an outright donation or a loan.

  the loan was to be paid back whenever the publisher requested it.

  (not a specific date)i can't help but feel that a lot of the old timers that loaned monies to the society and/or k-halls have been forgot about by them or their families.

Her husband was driving home from meeting when his car slid off the road, came back on the road, and was broad sided by a truck. She was crushed from her hips down and died shortly after at the hospital.

  Here is the problem i have. Most congregations i know of canceled meeting sunday morning because of the snow storm. It was snowing before 9 a.m. and anyone with a smart phone or t.v. would have been able to check the radar and realize it was going to snow all morning. It is the elders responsiblity to care for and protect the congregation, but in this case i feel they failed miserably. If they had canceled she wouldn't have died. And most jw's here know that if the roads are bad, but meetings aren't canceled that most will still risk their lives trying to go to meeting because they are made to feel bad if they do miss, regardless of the weather.

  I honestly feel these elders are blood guilty for their actions.

  Two interesting places in the Bible, Bethel and Megiddo.

  by Crazyguy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  first if one looks into the place bethel this is where the king of israel sets up golden calves and tells his people here is your god's go here and to dan to worship.

  he didn't want his people going all the way down to jerusalem.

  he also made his own priests again to take worship away from jerusalem and it's priests the levites.

  Also Bethel was where 40 kids were killed by a bear for teasing a bald guy. Two bad instances mentioned in the bible about Bethel. Its a bad place by WT standards.

  The Forgotten Ones

  by ToesUp in

  just curious...is anyone hearing the older/infirm ones speaking out to others on how they are being treated in the congregation?

  without giving anything away, i have spoken to so many older ones (some are sickly or can't drive in the evening or can't drive at all) who can't make it to all the meetings, assemblies, etc., that are complaining on how they are being treated by the more righteous ones in the hall.

  the ones i have spoken to make the comment that it seems to be the younger elders that have less empathy and concern for these ones.

  Unless they are contributing money, the Watchtower has no use for them.
