Hi:

I was there that fateful day and watched from Maiden Lane when the second plane crashed into the towers.

There was no controlled demolition about this. It was real and horrible!!!.

If you ain't a PIONEER, You ain't SH**!!!

by Open mind in

my loyal-dub wife had a wonderful morning knocking on empty homes earlier this week.

last night she confided in me with an observation.

she has noticed what she perceives to be a "pioneer clique" in our congregation.

ronin1

I was a pioneer for two years, worked on the building construction projects for 10 years, etc.

Even though I tried not to ack like I was better than others, many pioneers in my congregation thougth they were God's give to the congregation and especially if they were married to an elder.

When my husband and I got married ( note: I was a single parent for 15 years), they quickly made him a ministerial servant and tried to make us fit into their 'spiritual clicks". We refused.

I even told the Bethelite Elder that was going to give our marriage talk that they and the congregation were not going to be in our marital businessonce we got marrierd, told him what the topic of our marrige talk was going to be and when he gave our marriage talk he had exactly 30 minutes or I was going to walk off the stage at the Kingdom Hall and go to City Hall in Queens, NY and get married. He looked at me surprised and laughed, but he knew I was serious.

Yes, they think they are better than everyone else if they are pioneers, ministerial servants, elders, etc.

I'm glad my husband and I never felt that way and today we are no longer actively involved with this cult.

found website that supports WTBTS..

by new_account in

i was doing an image search on google and found a link to a website that appears to fully support the watchtower org.

[ http://www.jehovah-god.org/ ] .

interesting thing to me is the pictures that it shows, some i have never seen in offical literature, yet they look like they couldve have been ones made but not used, or something i dont know.. and others that resemble images from books such as the revelation book... (the city, pearls etc).

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page of this site, you will see that it is from the Organization itself in addition to its regular website:

Spend how much for wives/girlfriends?

by greendawn in

jw
friends

how much should a man tolerate a girlfriend or wife that is very demanding on clothes/shoes and other articles such as perfumes, handbags etc?

is there a limit to what one should spend to keep them happy beyond which it becomes a case of them taking advantage?

ronin1

Being in a relationship is not about demanding..........its about love, intimacy, tolerance, respect, etc.

Put your foot down or re-evaluate your relationship.

Let them buy their own items if they needs these things so bad...................

its time for me to move on.. some of you will know that recently ive really messed my life up.

i met a lurker on a dub site and while we started off as just friends we became a lot more.

over 3 months we hurt both our partners and ourselves and in the end she ended up running back to her rich boyfriend and cut me off completely.. ok i know that some of you embittered bible bashers just cant wait to reach for your keyboards and start condemning me save it!

ronin1

We hope you decide to come back to the forum.

Most of the time 'we' are our worst critics. WE all make mistakes or the wrong decisions in life. That's a part of living. Do not be so hard on yourself. Forgive yourself.

No one on this post is going to be judgementmental.

hi guys,.

sorry to burden you all with this but i really have no one that i want to talk about this with, i'm afraid that i will burst into tears and wont be able to stop if i call any of my friends and tell them what's going on.

my little sister has been ill with a fever for three weeks, her doctor kept telling her it was just a bad case of the flu and that she had an ear infection, he gave her antibiotics and sent her home.

ronin1

Hi Lola28:

So sorry to hear about your sister.

Both she, you, and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please stay strong and take care of yourself also.

The Second Emergent Type of "Faders"

by metatron in

jw
friends

i was having an interesting conversation with another witness who's nearly faded away.

he made an interesting point that corrected me and.

touched my heart.. i wondered aloud if there was "any limit to how stupid the organization could collectively become".

ronin1

Hi Metatron:

I agree with your comments or the brother's comments.

The WTS' doctrines and ways are just not working anymore.

Too many JWs realize they used precious years of their lives devoted to an organization that is not even blessed or directed by God. Instead of concentrating also on their finances (ie.: college, career choices) etc...............they devoted themselves with no financial back-up for the future.

The WTS governing body members, etc. no longer have the spiritual, physical, and financial hold on their members as in the past.

An elder told me that I can give blood here, but not there...

by JH in

jw
friends

a few years ago, i was diagnosed with too much iron in my blood.

most people lack iron, but i have too much.

with time, this iron lodges in the body, and it's not good.. so, my doctor told me to give blood a few times a year and this problem would be solved.

ronin1

Hi JH:

I would think that this would be one unique case where you could pursue and win a 'libel, slander', and defamation' civil lawsuit against them should they disfellowship you for trying to take care of your health.

You could probably invoke the scripture they use so often- Rom 12:1: 'Consequently I entreat you by the compassions of God, brothers, to present your bodies a sacrifice living, holy, acceptable to God, a sacred service with your power of reason'.

You are trying to stay healthy to serve your God and community and their disfellowshiping you from the org because if this would be wrong.

Blondie, anyone, please respond.
