JW's and Shunning in the News

by RolRod in

jw's and shunning in the news.

FedUpJW

From the article: "Only baptized Witnesses who commit a serious sin and do not repent can be shunned, according to the website. Repentant individuals are welcomed back into the fold."

Any JDub who says that is outright lying! We know that being shunned in the JDub community is a matter of whose ass you kiss or do not kiss. And "repentant" individuals are NEVER truly welcomed back into the fold! A person's past will ALWAYS be brought up as a black mark to be used as a club whenever someone feels they need to beat you a little bit more!

1 Timothy 2:11-15...Woman and silence in the congreagation

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

1 timothy 2:11-15let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness.

i do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence.

for adam was formed first, then eve.

FedUpJW

Do they not realise that it makes the women look odd and out of place?

Of course they do, but they do not care. That is the whole point of most of what the governing body trots out concerning women as being words from the mouth of God. To make as many other people as they can look as stupid as they themselves are.

Sex before marriage

by Jules Saturn in

for ex jws, pimos, pomos, faders, born again christians, agnostics, atheists, etc.

what is your opinion regarding sex before marriage, has your view been influenced since you left?

in western society, you’ll probably find yourself ridiculed to be an 18 year old virgin so i am curious to hear opinions from here.

FedUpJW

How else would two people know if they're sexually compatible?

One wouldn't buy a vehicle without taking it out for a drive, nor would one buy a pair of shoes without trying them on. So why would one marry someone without knowing they would be sexually compatible? You wouldn't. Of course the Dubs only think of the actual physical mechanics of sex, and the mechanics are pretty much common universally.

Personally, now that I do not have THAT goofy conduct ban hanging over my head I have found that "recreational" sex is some of the BEST sex. I am an official member of the 4-F club.

How can we leave Jehovah?

by Sour Grapes in

the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.

how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!

!.

FedUpJW

For decades I said pretty much the same thing. Every time someone would yap about so-and-so left Jehovah, or left Da Troof, when they really meant they quit associating with the (B)org. I would ask them how they KNEW that person had in their heart left Jehovah, and then I would ask them how they gained the ability to read hearts. When they would indignantly inform me that they didn't read hearts then I would tell them that by stating the person had LEFT JEHOVAH they were usurping God's position and judging that person!

Of course now I know that it is all B.S. so I don't waste my time or breath on them. I do not suffer fools gladly!

Sex before marriage is usually the only sex one will get.

Like the old joke, "How do you cure a woman of nymphomania? Marry her!

Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

by My Name is of No Consequence in

from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

can anyone confirm this?.

FedUpJW

One of four congregations in my immediate area is being dissolved effective Sept 01, 2018.

No surprise there as twenty years ago the combined totals of those four congregations was about 360 persons. Now it is about 170 with less than thirty in the one that is now gone.

The congregation that is absorbing the one to be dissolved is under rare ideal driving conditions a forty minute round trip away, by mountain roads that are tourist clogged in the summer and snow and ice clogged in the winter. I guess they will just have to "obey whatever directions they get, even if they do not seem practical..."

JW culture of "informers" is very similar to Communist China under Mao

by TerryWalstrom in

jw
friends

first, let's look at what counsel is published by the watchtower and required as proper behavior in the congregation.. *** g88 9/8 p. 20 should i tell on my friend?

***understandably, you may not feel you have the spiritual qualifications to readjust an erring friend.

but would it not make sense to see to it that the matter is reported to someone who is qualified to help?

FedUpJW

That bit of snitching cost the young man $40K.

I believe I wold have got my $40K out of the snitch in one way or another. Snitches get stitches.

What is the current pulse in the organization with the reductions?

by SouthCentral in

i have not seen jehovah’s witnesses in my neighborhood for several years now.

it appears that the cart witnessing has taken over.

congregations are being consolidated and witnesses are being forced to travel a greater distance than before.the burdens/privileges of elders seem to be ever increasing!.

FedUpJW

Does everyone in the Cong get a cart if they're a publisher - "you get a cart! you get a cart! you get a cart!"

I have heard that one has to be "trained" and then request approval form the serve us committee. Even IF I were PIMI and interested in cart time I would not. It was Jesus that said to "GO", not three nitwit elders who wouldn't have a clue even if it were given to them free.

If the rank and file have done what the watchtower wants and have got a low income job they will be really pushed to find the extra money to get to the kingdom hall.

The half-wits will just view it as another opportunity to show their ~~loyalty~~ stupidity.

You have to be out of your freakin' cotton-picking mind to be driving 50 or miles each way on a winter night when the windchills are in the -40 and below and endangering your family. Can't blame the JW's who think practically and say ''Nah, forget it'' ,''not safe''. Good thinking, practical people think like this. Survivors.

Oh, but they will remember all the stories of the ones who walked 75 miles each way, three times per week, over crocodile infested rivers, and lion infested forests, past army troops armed with automatic weapons searching for JDubs to use for target practice...and just blindly do it.

elder bags.

by blownaway in

not sure if this was every where or just our area, but you could always tell who was big shit top dog in the hall elders by the size of their bag.

my dad used to call them elder bags.

FedUpJW

This is what one of the recent C.O.'s had. He would stroll in with this thing on wheels, look at the closest kiss-ass M.S. and say, "Here is my briefcase. Take it to a chair in the front!" And of course Brother Kiss-ass would do it with a big grin knowing he was "important".
