I should say separations and divorce happen because there is enough stress paying bills and in the workplace without spiritual targets also controlling couples. No time left to breathe, really, nevermind romance and fun.

No more REPORTING field service!!!!!!!!!
by BoogerMan inthis is going to break the hearts of a lot of uber-jw's!
reddit has now removed the video link of samuel herd telling jw's they will no longer have to report time or placements - just tick a box which says "active.".

I think this change will make pioneers think even more of themselves. What a shame - I was really drowning in the love they have shown ME over the years :D

DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#4c
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#4c .
[the following is a little over 4 pages, but it is worth the read and it gets better as you get to the end.].
while i personally experienced several more acts where jw elders lied to me personally, the following is the most serious because it involved brother a. i mentioned him earlier where he was lied to by the jc and they used a confidential file against him that they developed over ten years a file he was never allowed to see or defend himself against.. sometime between january 1993, the jw elders on the jc were in the final stages of their meeting with brother a. this was before his first appeal.

unfortunately elders will happily lie in order to protect someone in their clique. the whole getalong gang will twist the scriptures and make the complainer of the gross sinner look like the "unpeaceable" one. i am completely floored. feel like i can't trust anyone. none of those liars will see my eyes again. they have really stumbled me from attending my own congregation. Many watchtower studies about elders are more like "Fantasy Island". -

I think circuit overseers should have a job like the apostle Paul
by forzaitalia inam i being mean, thinking that travelling overseers should get a part-time job like paul did, in order to not be a burden to the congregation?
i wouldn't put my hand up when we were asked to raise it if we were happy to give £50 from congregation funds to the c.o.
so that he could take his wife out for a meal.

What do the Org. And the Catholic Church have in Common?
by Vanderhoven7 in"the governing body of jehovah’s witnesses are like the pope is to the catholic church.
they too claim to be god’s mouthpiece or the voice of jesus.
they also demand unquestioning obedience for their members salvation.

take every new or revised teaching with a pinch of salt. let's just wait and see. plus i am sure that many have been unfairly disfellowshipped by imperfect men who have their own agendas - God is merciful

i hope you are feeling well and strong after your time in hospital. i am sure your family love you very much, and dont have an issue seeing as you have not attended meetings for many years. i, personally, do not feel comfortable even with the thought of transplants, but many JWs look to them for survival.

Real reasons behind this change?
by Gorb injust a good conversation at home about the hour report change.. we think the change was not impmemented because the gb are such a lovely bunch of old grandpa's having the best in mind for us individuals.. there will be only, and we say only, an organizational reason for it.
a legal reason, to protect jw.org and it's officials and wealth.. next step?
maybe selling more kh and when jw hollywood studio's in rampoo are ready a change to tv subscription.. what do you think?

I really don't like the way the organization is run like a business. Titles, targets, deadlines. Pioneers will think even more of themselves from now on - yuck -

"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"
by Diogenesister incan anyone remember the reasoning the watchtower gave for jesus speaking these words?
if you have a reference that would be even better!.

Many people say those words when they are suffering in a terrible way. Proves Jesus was fully human at the time.

If you could pick out critical errors to the JWS religion what would it be ?
by Rocketman123 inmany that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".

Not enough disfellowshipping or reproving of perverts. New ones need to know if any in the congregation have perverse traits, so that they can steer clear and protect themselves.
