  Trying to handle my JW mom

  by KatyMomof2 in

  2. friends

  my mom is a recent widow.

  she, being a jw does not have means to support herself and does not seek higher education ( because that would take from her studies ).

  so, she is living ( sponging off of ) me.

  Send her to her Congregation™. Tell them you refuse to have her terrorizing your kids with their bullshit, and that until she knocks it off, they can keep her and support her in the manner to which she has become accustomed.

  Or maybe you could call Social Services and have her removed from the home for psychologically abusing your children with her batshit crazy religion.

  I think the analogy goes something like this:

  Husband and wife are walking together when approached by an armed robber. The gunman demands all their valuables and says to the husband that he will shoot the wife if they don't comply. All they have is a small amount of cash and their wedding rings. They turn over their cash, but the husband hesitates when it comes to their rings - they are a symbol of their marriage, something they value dearly.

  The story doesn't continue, except to ask the rhetorical question: With his wife's life on the line, why would he hesitate and place more value on a mere symbol of their marriage rather than on his wife, the other party in the marriage? The symbol in the form of wedding rings can be replaced, but the life of the person to whom he is married cannot be replaced.

  CANADA | Toronto Star | May 3, 2013 - Jehovah's Witnesses: Kindness is an act of grace - not an obligation

  who should be responsible for financially supporting jehovah's witnesses, who put misguided faith in the failed 1975 "end-of-the-world" predictions, and went full-time preaching without any consideration for retirement many years later?.

  kindness is an act of grace not an obligationare successful brothers ethically required to help aging moneyless sister?

  I put a "No Preaching" sign on my door. If someone wants to make a social visit, they know the terms before they enter the house.

  WTF just happened??? An elder I haven't seen in years stopped by to hand me a XXXXXXXX !!!

  by Calebs Airplane in

  so yesterday afternoon, an elder who lives only 3 blocks away drives up to my house as i was about to enter my car.

  as he gets out of his car, i noticed he had a stack of photocopied paper in his hand and he seemed quite nervous.

  i was genuinely happy to see him nonetheless since he is pretty easygoing and very likeable.

  1984 was required reading for high school. I noticed the similarities right away and had no resources to find a way out, though at the age of 15 I desperately wanted to quit. A couple of years worth of pressure from my parents and the Congregation™ sucked me back in until I was in my 30s. Being independent of my family of origin freed me to have opportunities to explore my thought processes more, without potentially being found out.

  Watchtower vs. the Roman Catholic Church

  by Farkel in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the roman catholic church (rcc) religious leaders wear ridiculous clothing.. wts elders wear ridiculous cheap suits.. .

  one can wear a beard and still be a priest in the rcc.. one can wear a beard in the wts, but never be an elder with one.

  it's bible-based(tm).
