Meeting announcement for emergency contact info of non-JW friends & relatives (?)

by LongHairGal in

jw
friends

i just saw this post on reddit and can hardly believe it.. if i remember correctly years back they told you not to have anything to do with non-jw friends or relatives.

they discouraged you from bothering with non-jw family and to avoid them on holidays!!

i needlessly missed out on some delicious holiday meals with people who genuinely cared about me.

Is it because nobody can count on their so-called spiritual brothers and sisters to be there for them when things get bad?

IMHO that is it in a nut-shell. In my own case I saw that my parents were kicked to the curb, ridiculed, and ignored entirely by those who for so many years were always there, usually with their hands out claiming, "We looove you," Had it not been for my retirement savings to allow me extended care-giving trips, and a very kind DF'd family member who lovingly gave me relief breaks every couple weeks caring for my parents in their final few years they would have had no one. Not one single person from their congregation could be bothered to do anything other than tell me that I should put them in a home somewhere! Sorry (expletives deleted).

A military style weapon.

Gotcha. It's all about what looks scary! ANY weapon can be classified as a "military" style weapon. General George S. Patton's handguns most associated with him, and which are now in the Patton Collection of the West Point Museum, are a .45 Long Colt Single Action revolver, 1873 Army Model, and a .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver.

Personally as a licensed concealed carry permit holder my weapon of choice is a .45 Remington R1 semi-auto which holds 7 rounds in the magazine, and one in the pipe. And in nearly fifty years of being a permitted concealed carry handgun owner I have never shot anyone, only drawn my weapon twice, and both times it stopped a crime in progress merely by being seen by the criminal until police arrived. And none of my firearms have ever managed to load themselves, leave my house, and commit any crime. I guess they are not as "smart" as those scary guns the left screams, whines, and cries about!.

I’m waiting for the “new light” which absolves members of disfellowshipping if they pay a certain dollar amount. I’ll bet it’s coming soon, to a KH near you.

It is already the case in the K.H. where I used to attend.

True story, I personally was told by a now elder that even though I had at the time wanted to marry I should not do that. Just hire the "services" of one or maybe even two hookers at the same time while out-of-state then "confess" that it happened during an overwhelming moment of weakness, give a large contribution to the K.H. and to the presiding overseer, and all would be swept under the rug. That was just another nail in the coffin for FedUpJW.

How is the 'Cost of Living Crisis' affecting you?

by nicolaou in

here in the uk we've recently had the price cap on household energy bills raised by around £800 and there'll be another similar raise this autumn.. food prices are up, petrol is around £1.82 per litre - that's $10.37 per gallon for our american friends - and inflation is currently running at 9%.

business are being hit as ordinary folk prioritise their spending.

young folks are effectively priced out of the housing market and wage rises are not keeping pace.. mrs nic' and i are fortunate in that we're both in secure employment and with the kids moved out and mortgage paid off our outgoings are thankfully low.

There's a good chance that some people will actually starve to death at some point. Many others will be crippled financially and long-term will have reduced lifespans as a result.

That is, IMO, the agenda of the left. Create a crises, then claim to have the answer, and you can bet your --- it will mean more government control over you life!

Why do countries with strict gun control have way less murders?

IDK, why do democrat controlled strongholds with very strict gun control laws have more than their share of murders?

Maybe there should be laws against murder. . .OH WAIT!!

8 Year Old Can Decide If They Are Transgendered

by minimus in

so says joe biden.. anybody agree with this?

If the left is correct than why do kids even need parents?

According to the left they don't need parents. Just look at what left leaning school boards are doing to parents who want a say in their children's education.

i can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.

kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.

the craziness will continue.

FedUpJW

It's how they feel about being a member, being part of it all, and the morals and lifestyle they promote.

Even one of their new songs is called How does it make you feel?

And why was WT several weeks behind in their "clear guidance", and then only used cut and paste guidelines from the CDC and WHO?

The fear factor will get more intense.

Agreed. It is already happening from what I hear. The occasional times I stop by on ZOOM just to see what the people are up to I am amazed at how many of the "encouraging" talks are now geared to how bad it will soon be, and how they won't be able to count on Jehovah keeping them alive through it all, but it will rather be a few select ones who may be saved. I remember decades ago it was all about not worrying, now it is fear, worry, and stress that is promoted.

It's been along four months too.

Go ahead and dislike my opinion all you want. I never cared for him. And I refuse to let him occupy space in my mind.
