A woman place is made very clear in the memo sent out to elders which informed them that no sister could help bind an elders book yet a wordly man could. All JW wives of elder need to ask their husbands " is a Worldy man more trustworthy than a JW sister".

They don't like beards because it will hide the dribble of bullshit leaving their mouths. The whole beard thing should have rang one of many alarm bells that we overlooked .

Disfellowhsipped for 7 years...
by HereIgo ini remember around 2009, there was a scandal going on involving 2 families in my cong where the husband in one family was having an affair with the wife of the other family.
this resulted in pregnancy and subsequent disfellowshipping.
what was interesting to me though was a comment made by a co from the platform.

If this CO put up 7 years for a adulterous relationship imagine what he would say for apostasy 20 years minimum. Judical sentences in org all boil down to connections. It's always the same no matter what country or group , it's always WHO you know.

Can Someone Explain To Me, Are The Org In Debt Or Rich?
by pale.emperor inhi guys.. im aware of the orgs blatant hints to donate, donate, donate to the org, the sacking of bethel staff, selling of buildings, reducing mags and books, emphasis on digital rather than physical books etc which is obviously a money saver - but are the wt org in money difficulty?
because elsewhere on here and on youtube there's stories of the watchtower being mega rich, one even called it "a billion dollar organization".
and if there is any money in there, who's benefiting off it?

I love how they promote to R&F to pay taxes yet they go to extraordinary lengths to avoid paying any tax. It's ALWAYS about the money!

They always have an each way bet, if org increases its gods blessings,if it decreases it's a narrow road few will find. They always win and of course you will know it's the" truth".

Welcome my friend, just remember when you refer to not being in the truth we all here have never been in the " truth" either, we were just deceived into thinking it was the truth.

Feeling very lonely
by BlackWolf inthe past few months i've been feeling really depressed and kind of hopeless.
the few people that actually were a little bit friendly to me at the hall recently moved away, and i'm feeling like more of an outcast than i already was.
every meeting i just stand by myself by the wall and nobody cares, i feel really lonely and unloved.

Hi Blackwolf
hope some on here can cheer your sorry soul up , sadness is often how we react to things around us that we have little control over , there come a time in life where you can take more control, it is at this time you must stand up for your principles and beliefs, because if your don't the days can get very dark with sadness. I'm no expert on computers but I know you can use search engines that leave no history one is "duck duck go". An other thing you can do which your dad won't be able to trace is when you go to sites like this is use a VPN ( tunnel bear is free). Hang in there and remember your remote friends on here have walked many roads and you can access wisdom beyond your years.

JWs are one of the only church's that don't have nursing homes ( old people's full time care facilities) , that should ring alarm bells. Some of other church's even have hospitals, if JWs had hospitals no doctor would work for them because of the blood issue. JWs talk care , but provide very little even to its own members , it just encourages the R&F to look after each other. Then when it gives the impression of care it's really just making sure no one is out of line ( liaison visits when your on your last legs and I could guarantee that if you were single and had money there would be a procedure to secure big TonyMorris his slush fund.
