You would think watchtower leadership would be happy that someone else was spreading the good news with a quotes site.

How far has Watchtower and the GB of Jehovah's Witnesses gone to stalk and silence critics?
by Balaamsass2 inwe have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").
i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.
tonight's 60 minutes into ebay stalking a middle-aged couple who writes a newsletter reminded me a lot of the menlo park congregation watchtower "takeover", closure, and stalking of local elders to mind.

I know of a 30 year old brother that married a 16 year old from our congregation. They were dating when she was 15. No one batted an eye.
The dating pool is shallow in the jws. There is not very much selection so they don’t have a lot of choice.
There was also a 55 year old guy that married a 25 year old sister. Brothers marrying women 20 years older than them.

Starting September 01, 2022, the Angels will help in the ministry work
by RULES & REGULATIONS in2022 governing body update # 6. what exciting news david splane has for all jehovah's witnesses ( who for the last three years were spared the house-to-house preaching work ) '' that we'll return to the ministry september 01, 2022. just in time for our world wide campaign to start bible studies.
and, i'm sure the angels are excited too, because it will give them opportunities to help us with our ministry.''.
not only will the witnesses be rusty in their return to the field ministry, the angels in heaven have been sitting idle while the pandemic stopped the house-to-house ministry.

Scary shit.

After the system is destroyed who’s gonna make that nail your pounding with a hammer? Who’s gonna fix the roof every 30 years? Who’s gonna make that fancy glass wear and the fine clothes you’re wearing?
All of the people that you relied on for your cushy lifestyle are gone. Dead.

Did becoming a JW influence you to give up something you enjoyed ?
by smiddy3 inwhen i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.

We weren’t allowed as kids to have anything glow in the dark. Apparently it was in an awake magazine somewhere that it was not allowed

Watchtower are leeches on society. The gall to try and manipulate the same government they condemn to death into giving them money. Somebody worked for that money to pay the taxes so that watchtower can expropriate it.
Is the watchtower getting into daycares? Early childhood education?

I guess I derailed the thread a bit. Yeah many jws don’t save for retirement as the big A is coming to save them.

During COVID my wife and I had a monetary gift we wanted to give to needy members of the congregation. We had asked our group overseer to take the gift and distribute it anonymously as we didn’t know who was in need and we didn’t want the recognition.
All he did was give us the phone number of a family in the congregation and said give it to them yourself.
We ended up giving it to the local food bank. I guess the publishers can go there if they are hungry.

Mike jw:
I have some worldly friends who used to volunteer on charity programs in poorer countries. They quit going because the charity they were “volunteering” for put them up in a fancy hotel and fed them expensive western meals all the while they were “building” the school. I put those words in quotations for a reason. By the time they were chauffeured in and out of the city to the job site they put about 2 hours a day on the building site. They told me themselves it’s all a big show. They asked why they can’t eat with the locals and were told the food probably wouldn’t be safe to eat.
They were so put off by the arrogant attitude of the organizers toward the people they were supposed to be helping that they never did it again and didn’t recommend it for others.

I don’t think the elders really care about helping the poor jws anyway. It cramps their style and they can’t count the time.
