This makes sense. “Pagan” has always been a hot word with jw and they regect it. So the fact that their roots are “pagan” would be counterintuitive. I questioned my father in law about the Freemasons gently and he seemed somewhat ashamed/embarrassed that he didn’t follow his fathers footsteps.. even my husband stated one day “when he grows up” he might pursue it. I don’t care either way. Is it a religious affiliation or a trade affiliation?

I don’t understand the Freemason thing. People seem to get bothered that jw and Freemasons are related. I guess I need more understanding of what Freemasons are or what they do? A few weeks ago I was cleaning the garage and I found a card, my father in laws father’s name was on it and it showed he was a member in 1959. I really don’t know what this means.

You shared this story with us. Now you’re upset that we are not patting you on the back. You absolutely have the right to “do it your way”. I don’t think your way is effective. But please, by all means yell at old ladies in the street.

If you “don’t care anymore” you would have no desire to yell at passers by on the street. You seem very angry.

I’m sure this felt satisfying. I personally don’t think that yelling, cart crashing, Kingdom Hall crashing etc is an effective way of communicating with them. It validates their persecution complex, and that we are mentally diseased.

personal experiences,unscriptural doctrines of the org.and direct commentary of the above.

"The Branch did not approve of us to get a video security system"
by James Jack inthis was the reply i was given by our coordinator at our recent kingdom hall security meeting.. he explained that they aren't allowed to buy any appliances or do any changes to the kingdom hall without branch approval.
"we put in our letter that a video security system could be purchased for around $600 locally and an app could be downloaded for the attendants to monitor the cameras what's going onoutside.
" they said;" such a system would not be needed in our area of the country, if standard protocols of security are followed as outline by the branch.

Maybe a kh crash should be planned for that hall. Reason that it could have been prevented had their been better security.

Your wholeness comes from yourself. Not from an organization. Not from your family, not from a group of a people with similar experiences. You are “caves” your “wholeness” is within you.
