  Another Burnt Out Elder

  by Spoletta in

  1. social
  2. family

  young elder(mid-thirties) in my congregation stepped down last night.

  nicest guy, with two lovely kids, a great supportive wife.. it got to be too much, as the other elders are practically useless, let him do all the hard work, while they did all the "important" stuff.

  literally ran him ragged.. he's still in good standing, gave the final prayer.

  CO ( God on earth)

  elder ( gods spokesman)

  Homeless guy begs with the Watchtower

  by ShirleyW in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after that crazy story about the bride and groom going out in service in their wedding attire, that reminded me of a scene yesterday in one of the subway stations, a disheveled homeless guy had one hand out begging for some money, "does anyone have some spare change to help me " he kept saying, in his other hand was a copy of the magazine.

  so what must've happened was some dub passed him by and instead of giving him a quarter gave him a copy of the latest publication.

  although some of the beggars use their money for alcoholic beverage anyway instead of food i'm sure that magazine will be put to good use when he feels the need to take a squat somewhere and needs some paper.

  Cart Witnessing On Their Wedding Day

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  this photo is doing the rounds on jw inspirational on instagram.

  although the brothers and sisters think this is "oh so amazing" and "so cool" it's actually very sad and quite shocking.

  what, people cant even enjoy their wedding day without the cult invading their special day.

  They look proud of the corporation trolley. Its a shame they don't fully comprehend that the publishing company has destroyed thousands of marriages based on misinformation on careers , having children, they broke up Marriages with rules on oral sex. Baptism of children is its greatest CRIME. My mind and life have needed big readjustments , I hate what the church has done to its kids. The tears of those dead due to suicide after disfellowshipping ,can bee seen in Gods eye.

  How do we know JWs are wrong and how do we convince others JWs are wrong: logic versus persuasion

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we like to think we are logical and have good reasons for for our beliefs.

  no more so than when it comes to our reasons for rejecting the truth claims of jws.

  we reject their version of history, such as the date of the fall of jerusalem, because it doesn't agree with the historical evidence.

  You can't love thy neighbor if you won't associate at his BBQ, you can't convince or change another person it has to come from their convictions.

  You are now a member of " the broken family " mob who understand the evils of Disfellowshipping. Empathy comes best from those who have suffered, your advice given on here is given with pure motives. These are REAL sad stories that have left some permanent injuries to the heart.

  WTS Rich or Hurting for $$$

  by Zeds Dead in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  seen a few discussions asking if the wts are hurting for $$ or still sitting on a mountain of gold.. regardless of their child abuse legal fees and ongoing broadcasting for more dough, i believe they have piles and piles of cash.. talked with a diff'd accountant who sat in the accounting dept.

  at the conventions for years.. a football stadium (or the like) costs them about $70 - 90,000 to rent for a 3 day dub show.

  they take in $400,000 in donations from the r&f.

  Most are failing to see that if you have 8 million adherents, who were encouraged not to have kids, then theses ones leave their estates, as we know these millions now living have died and the jackpot is WT slush fund. I know a lot of JW are poor, but plenty married into wealth or inherited it from some relatives. JWs don't send around a plate at the hall because they want more than what the dish holds.
