so much has happened the last few days in my world.

i am handling it all very well don't worry!.

my daughter left her mothers home, so very hard to do and she has been so very brave and strong.

fakesmile

respect for being a good dad. your daughter will remember you having her back. and you are right this behavior is not strange for a jw, in fact they are imitating their god's display of affection. what a messed up concept of "love".

Did you know some witnesses who wanted to an Elder or M.S for the fame?

by Pitchess Co-Gen in

i'm talking about how they pretend to love the congragation, but they really don't .

they strive to be "circuit superstars" ; instead of careing for the flock .

did you guys know any people like that while you were in ..

fakesmile

not quite fame but social acceptance. wow i cant believe i actually cared about what those ppl thought. on a side note i was pretty much ripe for it. i was so impressionable. fortunatly i wasnt an elders kid so i got passed up for MS. good thing jehovers spirit was AWOL. lol

false prophets

by fakesmile in

im just thinking out loud here, which isnt exactly my strong suit.

but how can an organisation send half cocked "ministers" who are uneducated/ ill prepared and often have the most atrocious family arrangements, to tell complete strangers how they should live their lives?

is it an inside joke?

conspiricy buffs please chime in. how does this help or hurt the goals of the corperation?
