Spelling/Grammar Nazis.
by Low-Key Lysmith ini'll admit it.
it kinda gets my goat when folks disregard spelling and grammar.
i really get miffed at misuse of there/their/they're and your/you're, then/than, etc.. i very rarely ever go so far as to correct anyone on it, but it would seem that maybe karma caught up with me today on another thread when i typed that i had "said my peace".

6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own
by flipper inin the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .
the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.

What happened with my post? It posted as one huge paragraph. How tiring to read it! Sorry readers.
I told my husband he can blame it on his mentaly deseased apostate wife for our business.
"You can't go to the college. You can't find the job that pays enough to pay bills. That's why you go into business. Now you can't even have your own business?", said my Watchtower apologist husband.

Page 148-150, in 'Bearing thorough Witness About God's Kingdom' Book points out, 'Paul is determined not to be a financial burden on others. He does no want to give anyone the impression that he is living off the word of God. What will he do?'(ok, the WTS order you be responsible in taking care of yourself financially even as Paul, a traveling overseer, did) 'Paul did not consider tenttmaking his vocation, or career.(sure he was a'CO' but interestingly he still took sidejob to care his personal need. Following statement confirmed it).' 'He worked at this trade only to support himself in the ministry, declaring the good news 'without cost.' 'How did Aquila and Priscilla view their trade? As Christians, they no doubt viewed secular work as Paul did.(keep in mind that A&P are not COs. They, unlike Paul, had monthly bills to pay)...where their home was used as the meeting place for the local congregation(including 'mortgage' payment).' 'Present-day Christians follow the example of Paul, Aquila, and Prescilla. Zealous ministers today work hard "so as not to put an expensive burden upon" others(so far so good).' 'Commendably, many full-time Kingdom proclaimers work part-time or do seasonal work to support themselves in their vocation, the Christian ministry(as did Paul. The biblcal example applies to Paul, who's denfended on others like A&P for the housing, food, etc. Paul still worked part time to care himself as much as he could. A&P, on the other hand,had either worked full time or inherited some fortune in order to care themselves and extended their belongings to others, like Paul).' 'Like Aqulila and Priscilla, many warmhearted servants of Jehovah open their homes to traveling overseers.' In summary, the traveling overseers took part time jobs to care their needs. That was the Point! The WTS, however, after rightly applying this to 'Paul' and then truned around twists this pricniple to apply it to Rank & File who have family to fit, CO to take care, KH to contribute, slavery construction works(Qucik building, remodeling, branch construction, pioneering, etc, etc. That's what happens when people who are disconnected with the real world that have no idea how real world operates, making rules for their subjects and trying to control others in illusion. The Rank & File do not have 7 million followers that take care of every their needs. The WTS want the R&F to take care of everything(family, Co, Do, the WTS, etc) with Paul's part time job. Paul hardly took care himself with it! Because of that the WTS stronly urge R&F to take care of COs, DOs, etc by saying,'those who thus "follow the course of hospitiality" know how encouraging and upbuilding doing so can be." What an OXYMORON! BTW, follow your own counsel and go get some part time job as did Paul! You must determine not to be a financial burden on others! The WTS want you to be a SUPERHUMAN. The WTS won't take anything but 'perfection' from you lurkers! Thanks for the post Flipper.

Church sues ex-member for online criticism

Goodl! The pastor will learn a hard lesson of the exisitence of a civilized society who's priciple laws honors human rights before his own pathetic rights.
If you call it 'defamation' for person engage in excersising her freedom of speech based upon her personal inhuman experiences by you,
What do you call for what you were/are doing to the person?- Campaining to others with your words and actions to shun another human being.
It's at the least 'defamation'. You are also violating her Constitutional right to excise Freedom of Religion by persecuting her for not beliving your religion. It works both way!
Preventing and protecting its citizens from persecution by religious tyranny that was the very core conception, freedom of religion was adopted in the Constitution as part of the Bill of Rights.

Watchtower admits, "We are like the Catholic Church"
by Juan Viejo2 incalvin rouse describes himself as "general counsel for the national organization of jehovah's witnesses out of brooklyn, new york.".
while representing one of the defendants during a trial held in san mateo county court in redwood city, california, on february 22, 2012, rouse made this amazing statement:.
"ordinarily, i wouldn't be here, but this is one our 13,000 congregations in the united states.

Following are directly quoted from a CO's talk during his recent visiting.
"The Body of Elders are under the influence of Holy Spirit.....What happen when BOE ask us to do something doesn't make any sense? Would you do it? YES!"
"Are we naive, brainwashed? NO! We trust our theocratic authority. There are malicious lies, misinformations about Body of Elders and the Governing. Building our turst in theocratic authority will save our lives."
This was one of the points outlined in the talk that had been prepared by the GB.
The Ogranization formaly granted the limitless power and authority to the BOE as well. JWs are order to follow anything the BOE would ask them to do. I am sure penelty for failing it will be the guilty of commiting a brazen conduct, a disfellowshipping offense.
The Org. step into the Reign of Terror of Middle Age Catholic Era.

so oompa got df'd this week...
by oompa inno call to invite me to a committee meeting...no notification of deciding i should be df'd....no telling my jw wife of the announcement...not a chance to appeal what i did not even know what was going on...my mini-serve son is devasted....he even researched it....told me to go to page 153-154 of the od book...never heard of it but it is a green hardback given to all who are to be baptized.
wow...the elders broke every rule in this book as to my case.... i have no respect for these men that can take away your jw family without even telling you they are going to.
my jw son has now begged me to meet with my committee...even though there is prob zero chance they can reverse the decision...that chance is from when they let you know...and you have to appeal by letter within 7 days (i cant make this stuff up!!

Oompa, I had no idea this is what you went through. I posted on another thread that JWs will trun into Manson's girls if the GB order them to. You will trully appreciate my point Only if you actually had tasted a fraction of their unbelivable cruel potential in the name of the Governing Body!
It is disturbingly a dangerous cult!
If any one out there believing the Watchtower won't DA/DF you for receiving blood transfusion. Pleas read this thread! The borg may have claimed one thing but I tell you as one who have not missed JWs meetings more than 2 dozen times in last 25 years, the borg has not changed their principle stance on this Jim Jones level doctrine.
It porbably has to do with legal reasons, if anything, for the explaination of different outcome on this doctrine by the Borg.
The Watchtower will say anything shamelessly as they go if it benefit and protect them. And the borg cowardly turn around beat the crap out of you for not abiding their rules for 100% and fail to show your complete obedience to their authority for 100%. That's what coward bully do. The bully brown nose to someone bigger and yet pick on those smaller than he is.
I hope you are having better days, Opmpa.

Elder and Elderette- Jehovah Witnesses Who Renounce Their Parents, Do Ex-JWs And Fader's Pick Up Their Slack?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inhow many stories do you know of where outstanding elders and elderettes abandon their jw practicing or non practicing parents?
the watchtower society's representives don't seem to mind, as long as the elders and eldettes apply their love to watchtower party middle management.. what is meant by this, if you tell your parents "what i have that you might get benefit from, is corban, it's dedicated to watchtower "men of fame", so screw off mom and dad!
" i will acheive more glory by helping the circuit overseer or district overseer, they will glorfy me in front of my congregation!".

I have one.
Tom and Pam are in their 80's and living in a assistant living. They are members of a local JW congregation.
They have 4-5 grown children along with many grandchildren. Among their family are included active, inactive and non JWes. Some lives in town some out of states. They are both very ill and infirm. They have local witnesses visiting them from time to time while they were out service so that they can count their service time. No one visit them any other time.
Except this old friends, a DF'ed JW couple. In fact this couple are Tom & Pam's only primary, emergency contact. The couple who both work full time take elderly JWs to their doctors' appointment, errands, dinning out, inviting home for home cook meal, etc. Besides, check on the elderly JWs 2-3 times weekly.
The local congregation didn't have any problem shunning this DF'ed couple but do not have any problem the couple taking care of their own. This erderly JWs have extended family serving an elder, pioneers,(all with no children to take care of) in the local congregation. None of these JWs family are never availble to take care of the older couple. Even the coordinator of BOE knew whole situation including the DF'ed couple being only emergency contact number for their own elderly JWs and yet he could care less as long as he did not have to do it.
Sometimes this DF'ed couple couldn't accomodate their working schedule to elderly JW's doctor appointments that they contact the coodinator for assistance. The coodinator never return their phone calls and leave it all as if their own elderly JWs are this DF'ed couple's responsibility only. The one of the DF'ed couple have to leave job site in last minute without a choice in order to take this poor folks to their appointment while the elderly's own family sit around home(they are all either selfemployed or part time workers) or aimlessly driving around the territory out service.
In the meantime the elderly couple and DF'ed couple become like family. (under any other senario this elderly couple would have been witch hunted by BOE for associating with DF'ed. Remember 92 year old JW got DF'ed in one of the Ray Franz' book?)
What a sad situation!

An article on shunning that really started the wheels turning
by sd-7 init was the september 1, 2006 watchtower, page 17, "when a loved one leaves jehovah".
it was this quote i found upsetting:.
it has become harder and harder to sit at christian meetings and see parents laughing and talking with their children, says louise.

The Shunning policy is denying your very own basic human needs.
It is only natural to interact and contact your mother, father, children, grandchildren, sister, brother......and friend.
Who the h*** are you telling me I cant see my own kids or parants,.......................................................................................................?
sd-7, I wish I was more aware of things like you had. Good for you!
