Good he exposed how elders breached confidentiality!

Yes he is emotional! He is very hurt by what the elders did to him. They made a promise and broke it.

Not only! But it is a FACT! Elders, keep people out so the elders errors will not be exposed! For years!

That is extremely stressful to go through! If one does not understand the lies of the WT yet spends years trying to return. As a result it can cause all kinds of emotional problems! PTS!

Good for him to expose more elders garbage plus the coldness of Bethel who was not trained to answers questions.

Bethel elders should be trained on how to help people not make foolish excuses. Bethel knows why people are calling. The majority are probably unhappy phone calls. People should be treated with help not dismissed and told it is the wrong department! That is bull!

The guy is a victim because elders bullied him and he believes WT lies!

Weird crazy rules imposed by your local Elders.

by stuckinarut2 in

we all know the sort of thing..... in many congregations, specific "rules" creep in...introduced by the local elders that become set in stone.. years ago, i heard of a congregation that sat down during the first song of the evening but stood for all others (the co changed that very soon after).

then there were the older accounts of congs that had rules to make the public speakers wear only white shirts.... in one cong now, i heard that brothers can only be used for sound or microphones if they do a minimum of 5 hours per month in the ministry!.

another cong has ruled that all appointed men must pioneer for at least one month each year in order to remain qualified.. .

And never drive a new car or classic cars!

Although your playing kingdom songs,turn your radio down before entering the parking lot!

i hate self-promotion.

but every time i put something out there on the internet, and then promote it, some part of me feels ashamed for drawing attention to myself.

How we learned was by just reading WT books!

Love your site!

Your doing a wonderful job!

love your 1914 end time videos.

Years ago a higher up local elder shunned my brother because his shirt would not stay tucked in. George Burns would gossip about him after the meetingsk. The problem with this area is they are guilty of worshipping elders. The Burns men next generation followed daddy! Too dumb to not get out and growls at anyone that does not match up to theur janitorial status.After all only janitors can make the time for KH godship. :-) They were in their own world! At least they can brag about that high school education.

Elders look around the KH as if they are Almighty God,J. They make rules then watch who dare to walk in and break them! :-)

Cult Within A Cult! Our way versus the others! LOL

Silence after stating my confusion about "144,000"

by tidalblitz in

the other night, i was told about a question that a friend's bible study had asked them.

the bible study asked: "if jesus is perfect, why does he need the 144,000 to help him rule?

" this friend does not know how to answer this question.

sarahsmile

Revelation 20:4 does not say just 144,000 will get the rewards, it has no number. Happy are those who are at the first resurrection because there will be no second death! Now that is good enough to want to be apart of the first resurrection. Maybe that is why other churches have happier people!

What church would only want a few of their members to be a part of the first resurrection where the majority will be at the second resurrection. First resurrection,rewards, has no death.

That really is a messed up doctrine! And there is no bibical foundation to support WT doctrine.

How would anyone know if people were resurrected!

Unless your in a religion that makes up bull: Russell is channeling to the remaining GB meat at due season! Crazy! :-)

Anyhow,as far as I am concerned followers of Jesus are the bride and will be part of the first resurrection.

I FINALLY found a car I like & brought it home tonight = )

jw
friends

after nearly seven months of bus rides and asking for rides, i have purchased a car.. for all of you who made helpful suggestions & contributions to my car buying thread, especially zed is dead, thank you so much.. my thread asking for advice on car buying:.

suggestions for car buying23.

i bought a 2009, pontiac g 6. my reasons for choosing a g 6: this car gets great miles per gallon.

sarahsmile

The fact that you think getting less than 30mpg is 'great' is scary and a huge problem with the USA

This isn't free way driving. On the Freeway, it can get close to 40 MPG. For a GM sedan, yes, 28.9 around town, stop and go, is fabulous. Some GM sedans get 17 MPG.

I from the US! What kind of car do you drive?

Flyinghigh

Love your new car! Looks wonderful! Happy driving!

I drive Chevy truck! No kids here but need to carry things home for my fixer upper house. Never ending job! Sure do like your pretty car and the green is so pretty.

New Article in JW.ORG "Should Christians Drink Tea?"

by EdenOne in

should christians drink tea?.

would you like a cup of tea?.

this seemingly innocent question has been asked countless times, and is regarded as a gesture of courtesy and hospitability in many parts of the world, in both eastern and western culture.

Send your article to the SDAs!

Paul - GB Member (W 9/15/14)

by pixel in

ok, is this a "new understanding" or what?

up until this point i thought that the borg refered paul as a co or do, but never gb member:.

p. 12 now, why would paul a spiritual giant who likely was a member of the first-century governing bodycall himself a miserable man?.

sarahsmile

LOL! Some times I wonder about everyone!

I just can not stop laughing!

Would you do this to your kids? Is this cold or am I crazy?

by BU2B in

my mentally in jw wife is trying to organize a "princess party" for my 4 year old daughter and her little cousins and friends.

she was looking at prices of a tent for the backyard party in case it rains.

she asked the hardware store how much and they said 90 dollars for the day.

Charge him for eating your food and sitting on your sofa! Using your toilet paper!

Tell your wife to grow up and never borrow anything from dear elder daddy any more.

It makes you look bad: can not provide for your family basic needs.

In fact limit any contact with him. He just a Fing nut case.

Report his greedy attitude to other elders, and claim him un fit to be a good role model for the congregation.

Your wife does sound a little mental maybe it runs in that family.

Some day you might need to sabotage your marriage just to get your children out of their hands!

That takes good planning.

angels and women

by caroline77 in

i was told by jw's that angels came down to earth before the flood, and had children with women.. i have a question about this and would like the sort of answer a jw would give so that i can be ready for them when they come to my door.. if one third of god's angelic staff were banished to earth, are they doing this now?.

if not, what is stopping them?.

if so, where are all these half angel children?.

sarahsmile

Ocean Good point!

Caroline77 yes, and I agree with you. I think many fiction stories started with this one thought and what if...

Good job!
