if you go to college/university...where do you see yourself in 20 years, 50 years?.

if you do not get higher learning, where do you see yourself in 20 years, 50 years?.

or loss/saving for 40 years = $480,000.00.. someone else can compound the interest.. do you have a 5 year plan?

Double standards for elders?

by El_Guapo in

jw
friends

i read a post on this site that said that there is a double standard for elders as opposed to regular r&f publishers.

can't seem to find it now, but i believe it was in the elders manual stating this....... thinking back, i can vividly remember one instance: the po's (a superstar in the district) daughter was getting married.

she was marrying a "brother" who was only baptized but 3 months, yet the were able to use the hall for their wedding.. another brother in our hall (about 2 years later) was planning on getting married, he asked for permission to use the hall for his wedding and was told that his service hours were too low (he was averaging about 3-5 hours a month) i asked him later why he was so pissed at the elders and he said this was the reason.. has anyone else ever noticed this "double-standard"?.

I want to state this for the unfairness of it. (Double standard).

Fifty years ago, a JW girl, Ma----- Co--, tells her JW boyfriend, Bo-- Jo----- she is pregnant. Sorry, I don't remember that part of the story, if she was or wasn't pregnant but the point was they were having sex and were not confessing to the Elders. (He has been an Elder for 40 years and a Servant before that). So there was no private, or public reproof or disfellowshipping .

He tells his Bestman, Wa ---- Wa ---- this. His Bestman (who was a Servant and then an Elder until he died) tells his best friend, my ex-husband about Bo & Ma's horizontal rumba bumba goings on.

Forty years ago my ex points this couple out to me.

Time goes by.

Thirty years ago, we are invited out to a small country congregation, where my ex gives the public talk. Afterwards, we go to the PO's for Sunday dinner.

This couple, from 5o years ago, Bo-- & Ma----- Jo-----, with their daughter, are in this congregation, so come along for dinner also.

The couple whos house/farm it is, my ex has known for 55 years. He doubled dated with them once. He said they were pretty hot and heavy at it in the back seat of his car, way back when.

This PO's oldest son, Ma--, acted strange. Bo-- and Ma-----'s daughter, acted strange.

Come to find out, a few weeks later, this girl is pregnant (for real) from the PO's oldest son. Nothing happened to either of them. Her Uncle, who is her father's brother, is a District Overseer. He came out and gives their wedding talk! WT?? The DO was/is Wa --- Jo-----.

The PO who's oldest son got his girlfriend pregnant? His name is Jo-- and his wife is Ma-- Fu-----. They became CO's, shortly after this incident took place.

I hate the pontificating of privileges for some, and disfellowshipping and shunning for others. I hate it.

My girlfriend's son was kicked out of Bethel, more than a year ago for viewing porn. He is back home attending all meetings. He has tried twice, now, for reinstatement. The first time, they said in their humble opinion, he hadn't been DFed long enough. The 2nd time, he didn't have a suit, tie and Bible in hand, so they said he wasn't respectful enough. (Face palm-shaking head in wonder).

Hot of the Press!!! YEARBOOK 2013 :Letter from the Governing Body

by raymond frantz in

yearbook 2013 :letter from the governing body.

dear brothers and sisters :our heavenly father,jehovah, is the personification of love.hence the bible states :"god is love".

(1 john 4:8) even though jehovah is almighty ,his word never says ,"god is power" or , "god is might".he bases his rule primarily on love.how this attracts us to him!.

"Some have to contend with old age"...

You mean Armageddon is not right around the corner?

I am going to get old? Die? lol (Gosh...You mean the world isn't flat?)

Do all those Bethel boys, realize they too will get old and die?

Do the CO's and DO's realize they will get old, with no money, and die?

Join the Catholics. At least if you are down and out, they have a few Charities to help ease your pain.

And, hey, if you are a Pedophile, the Catholics will hide you too.

I read the new Year Book. I guess my eyes were already glazed over because I do not recall ever reading in Watch Tower publications,

" we love you all very much".

The Bible Truths of the Watchtower Corporation were really a commercial fraud supporting the distribution of the organization's literature

by Finkelstein in

one thing should be brought forward in all respect to truthful honesty is that the wts.

self proclaimed doctrines were fraudulently devised and created to attract the attention from the public eyes and mind.

in a way the wts.

LoisLane looking for Superman

Finkelstein>>>>>Your first paragraph really summed it all up. I wish this topic would come up every day, so that new lurkers , can see and understand right away, what The Society is all about.

The Watch Tower Society's 8 men have a lot of power. They own property all over the world. Whatever happens in Watchtowerland they will always be sitting pretty. It is worldly thinking deceitfulness/genius, at its finest.

After fading for over a year...I finally cut my ties by posting on my Facebook page

by eyesropen323 in

i was 8 when my mom brought us into the jw's.

i am in my late 30's now.

many knew me from school.

LoisLane looking for Superman

EyesAreOpen323>>>>>Good for you Girl!

I couldn't have said it any better.

It is true those 8 JW men at the top, like greedy little children sitting on top of all the "donated" toys, won't share with anyone down the line. It is all for them.

You could say the Catholic "mother" has better manners. Yeah they cover-up for their Pedophile priests, but at least they trickle out some of their gold for a few Charities. lol

Billie>>>>>I don't know you personally, but I am so proud for you that you woke yourself up, and started all over again.

Many moons ago, I thought I wanted to be a CO's wife. But back then, The Society was pushing that they had Jehovah's Holy Spirit, and it was telling them Armageddon is coming in 1975. That was 38 years ago. If I had a husband who was the CO and we just woke up to TTATT, boy, would we be upset.
