  elder school and jabs

  by enoughisenough in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  i watched a video ( can't think which one now.

  )..and the presenter said he had been given unverifiable information from an elder's wife that the elders needed to have the "jabs" in order to attend elder school in person now and there wasn't to be a zoom, and if they didn't have the jabs, they needed to contact the branch.

  ( my thought: when will these toothless lions (elders) wake up and be real men and use their god given intelligence and quit allowing the manipulation?

  Hellothere

  I been thinking for year's either GB wants people too abandon religion or make them abandon meetings to sell khs. This overlapping generation, obey without question and so many other things. Now obligation with jabs. There's something not right here.

  as 1975 was approaching, many witnesses sold their property.

  do you know about specific cases that are willing to share their experience of doing so?.

  Hellothere

  Got a funny story. Before I researched the 1975 teaching, i thought it was made up. But my mother told me about an incident that happened about that time. She was living in the countryside in South America. In the middle of nowhere. There was a man that was in love with the neighbours wife. Just before 1975 he road into neighbours house on his horse and fled with neighbours wife. The reason was he thought world would end 1975 and he wanted to spend his last time with the women he loved 😊. Don't know what happened with both of them after that. But it's a true story. It made me look up 75 teaching's. Cause if this could happen in remote place in South America, then end world teachings most have been ingrained in jws minds back then.

  New rules for inactive ones?

  by Lynnie in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  have the rules changed as far as disfellowshipping inactive ones when it's clear they are engaged in "wrongdoing?".

  i have a cousin in seattle who was disfellowshipped about 3 years ago or so and then went through the process of being reinstated (took only 6 months) and then proceeded to fade and do nothing regarding the jw's .

  fast forward to today and now she's had a baby out of wedlock and the uber jw elder father and mother are all on board somehow.

  Hellothere

  Think in a lot of congregations the elders have called it quits. The members are exhausted and don't care anymore that much about congregation issues. I have seen that development for some years now in different city's and country's i lived in

  You can [not] trust the Brothers, wt study this week

  by waton in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  for the lucid lurkers:  # 37. the article's examples really show, that among the 'name people' only 50 % of rank and file, and none of the leaders can be trusted all the time.

  but, shut up and put up.. eli and hannah, eli's sons committed gross sins, raping/ seducing woman visitors to the temple, for years, yet naive worshippers are to trust their brothers, even with their children ?

  inaction by wt approved?

  I think current GB, are gonna put blame on everything wrong in org, on Rutherford and Knorr. Oh we didn't make the rules org is under, we are victims and felt under bad advice. It's former watchtower leaders that are to blame. They made the two witnesses rules. I bet things are heading that way.

  Hellothere

  Yeah but having situation you have to chase hours is gonna affect quality and motives for going out in service. I bet it was Rutherford that came up with doing monthly hours. He seems to be behind much of " lets run this like s cooperation and not Christen organisation" ideas.

Problem is you never see any jws outside preaching anymore. Some few i seen last ten years have been cart preaching. Wonder how many people in congregations put hours they never made. I know it's always been so people fake hours or do five minutes but write one hour. With all born in and pomos in org i bet lots hours are not real.

  Living your life according to the bible

  by TTWSYF in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have heard it said [numerous times] that jws live their life according to the bible.. i have also heard [numerous times] that jws have restored the correct christian practice following the great apostasy [?which is a different topic].

  my question is 'is there any proof anywhere in history where jewish or christian people lived their life according to the scriptures?".

  ttwsyf.

  Hellothere

  Christian life is about agape. Has nothing too do with watchtower religion. Even if meetings last decade have put lots of focus on agape, compared to previous decades, when everything was about preaching, regular jws don't have interest in applying principal in their life's. Reason for all gossip and judging at kingdom halls

  Hellothere

  I stopped going to meetings 6 years ago Been inactive. Have moved back to my hometown, and jws from congregations in this town know I'm back. Former city i went to meetings a couple of times, i didn't knew anyone in congregation, was easy to fade.Got mother in. She goes mostly to meetings to meet friends. Don't think she would care if I'm in or out. We would still have contact. I want it to be a close chapter if I meet JW friends out on the street. If someone ask me, i just tell them no more a JW. I think I gonna feel mentally better if I'm out. Org is a mental Hazzard
