A secret collection?
Almost homeless??
How do they know if this is not Jehovah's will for him to serve in that specific field where the need probably is great?
Who needs houses and property anyway with the end so very close?
well , not really.. our hall recently had a secret collection for our head elder who is almost on the verge of becoming homeless.
i guess he lost some cleaning contracts because his clients were just sick of his no shows because of his pioneer work.
there is always something more important to do than earn a living.. this is the same assholes he is always shaming people to not doing enough.

a load of j.w's in my family and the congregation i attend as a pimo have been saying the end is very close because the anglo american world superpower is clearly still the king of the south, and russia is now clearly king of the north due to persecuting and banning the religion there and seizing property.. i've forgot what the religion used to teach and maybe still does, about the timing of all this king of north + south stuff, the attack on all religion by the u.n and then the attack on j.w's who will be left standing.
i mean, i thought jehovah was going to put it into the u.n's minds to ban or attack all other religions, then the attack on j.w's, but witnesses seem to think the end is so, so close because russia has banned them.. it's sad, as some dubs i know have sold their homes and made other big decisions so they can pioneer in these 'very last of the last days'..

Hello??? 1975 anyone???
“Yes, since the summer of 1973 there have been new peaks in pioneers every month. Now there are 20,394 regular and special pioneers in the United States, an all-time peak. That is 5,190 more than there were in February 1973! A 34-percent increase! Does that not warm our hearts? Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” Kingdom Ministry May 1974 p.3 How Are You Using Your Life?
one of the most memorable, and beautiful, cinematic conclusions .
.. and beginnings?.

Haven't seen that movie but imagine the gravitational pull... the waves are remarkably calm.
the following is a qfr from the april, 2018 watchtower.
just a couple of articles back the organization was explaining how jws need to be encouraging and even when admonishing congregations jesus would start out with encouraging words.
we see none of this in the qfr, rather, it is heavy handed and legally incorrect.. why is it not permissible to post publications of jehovah’s witnesses on a personal website or on social media?.
Imagine if a commercial organisation instructed its customers not to look at reviews of their products.
Brilliant! What school overseer wouldn't have loved you to death for this illustration?
I look forward to use it...
it's a fear-based religion, at its core.
jws fear many things, but what or who do they fear the most?
let's find out.... 5) satan.
6. Get caught with porn?
my recent sidewalk discussion with a couple of jw's has gotten me in the mood to say more when appropriate.so the wife and i were riding in the car and cat stevens comes on.
i mentioned to her that cat stevens left music when he was still popular and converted to islam back in the 1970's- how he was told that his music would have to be morally acceptable and he found it easier to just abandon making new music for at least 20 years.
so i didn't really remember all the details and i figured the conversation would die.
And another delightfull thread, much appreciated OTWO. Your inactivity certainly hasn't affected your reasoning skills
i'd like share why i went from being a teenager determined to work in full time service for jehovah my entire life, to now being on here commiserating with you all.
i use to be an atheist but i now believe in god.
but i'm not preachy about god.
Welceme to the forum and wow, what a story...thanks for sharing! Love the pic also.
So much hypocrisy and double standards! I admire the way you handled all the bullshit man....and all at such a young age...
i am new to this site, want to know who in the admin and are we all jw?.
if yes, i am from nigeria, west african.
as an active and dedicated witness i want to tread safe.. need to make some friends here; i love honesty in all things.. best regards.
An online forum is not an appropriate setting for “instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed.”
LOL, anyone else here who was thinking about Ikechukwu.info after reading Listener's latest post about the QFR WT april 2018 article?
Seems that this spiritual food didn't came at the proper time for him...
Darn, why does Jehovah's charriot need to drive so fast?
Why would you post here without first reading some of the other threads on the site. 2 minutes of skimming is all it would take to discover that this is no place for dedicated witnesses.
You nailed it Fred, my thoughts too! Some JW's appear to be very naive and are clearly not following the lord's command to be cautious as snakes...lol.
i've on my been on this forum for a few weeks but the more i'm learning the more ill its making me feel that i believed the wts.
my 12yr old today said i've made her miss out on having a normal childhood and i felt sick when she said it coz i know it's true.
i've been telling my dad today the things i've learned that wts had lied about and about the child abuse and he's disgusted too especially coz he's missed out on 12 years of being able to celebrate birthdays with us.

Ouch...I almost shed a tear jrjw. I've been there too and felt the urge to apologize. My oldest was almost 13 when we started our fade but believe me... things will get better. She's 16 now and happier than ever.
Like dubstepped said...
It's good to vent all the emotions that you can have during the process of awakening but please, don't blame yourself, blame the Borg. Accept the pain, others have felt it too, many tears have been shed. You all will soon learn to enjoy your freedom more and more...just give it time.

Wow Listener, thanks for showing the Borg's latest desperate attempt to turn the tide of criticism, exposure and awareness. We know this is nothing but damage control.
I can only imagine how "Apostate lies" and activity have become a recurrent and highly irritating theme on the agenda of the Governing Body. Isn't this a sign that all the activity is actually paying off?

What? Hold, wait!!! Tell me they are not talking about THIS forum right?
We can trust these products to be free of advertisements or contamination by Satan’s world. If the spiritual food passes through other channels, there is no guarantee that it has not been altered or contaminated.—
OMG! Nooooooooooooooooooo.......the contamination is caused by the WT itself. They have altered their own publications and the whitewashing of their own history is so notorious...even the devil himself couldn't have done it better.
