i once gave this book to a woman with kids at the door...to my shock my next visit she gave it back saying it was discusting and full of violence and sex!

this book was clearly written by some bethel loser with no kids.

i don't understand why witnesses don't have a separate kids school..

Does anyone have a link to the identical book from the 30s? It was posted here some years back

elder friend of mine texted me asking what my rc attendance was 2 weeks ago (family and i streamed it since wife is not well).

he told me that his rc in the jersey city assembly hall last weekend was low.

co told them that around 2600 were the total from 16+ congs that were assigned.

" the best ever" catch phrase has gone missing. I have not heard it even once.

Being elderly and pimo, I have no excitement. But none is noted anywhere else among the pimi either.

Sex with a minor cannot be consensual. Using a position of trust or power crosses a line too.

Half of disfellowshipped one suicidal?

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

jw

this ex brother says about half of disfellowshipped ones are suicidal at about 43 minutes into this video https://youtube.com/watch?v=otcdksnf4zo&feature=sharec.

it really is that brutal having your family and friends shun you that many unfortunately do actually take their own lives including steve letts nephew.. no wonder the drastic change in the elders book to not have any more judicial committees if suspected it would make them suicidal.. this is probably one of the largest changes in recent history that most rank and file don’t know about yet.. how it will work in practice i just don’t know.

what if someone keeps sinning but says it’s weakness not wickedness and they are suicidal?

I have seen suicide from the pressure to not get a good job, pioneer, don't marry, go to bethel.

No more judicial committee if maybe suicidal

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

the new direction in the new elders book is very clear.

absolutely no jd if there is a suspicion of suicidal thoughts.. this is obviously due to the high number of suicidal attempts after the announcement that someone is no longer a jw and the shunning that accompanied it.. so what will happen now going forward if situations arise where there would formerly have been a jd and they say there is suicidal thoughts?.

i can’t see it working, but elders stick rigidly to what it says in the book.

The book is a joke. Full of unrealistic scenarios and procedures. Some elders read at 6th grade, others are pompous asses. They will still put you on ignore somehow.

The vast majority uf elders think the congregation is there so they can have a title instead of they are there to aid the congregation. As for the borg they are parasites.

JW elders TAUGHT to treat Higher Education as WRONG!

by BoogerMan in

in this jw training video, an elder gets deleted because his daughter has "stumbled" other jw's by pursuing higher education.

🤣.

I am stumbled by people claiming to be stumbled. I know oneelder who quiety finished his degree to keep his position at a university. I know 2 or 3 others who apparently never completed 6th grade grammar because of their mispronOUNciation of common words. (unconscience?)

Our Kingdom Ministry

by NotFormer in

my understanding was that this was the magazine regularly published for insiders only, unlike the watchtower and the awake!

looking online, it seems that the wt ceased publication of this in 2016. is it due to a name change (it seems to have changed its name several times over the years) or has it been succeeded by a new publication?

or has it ceased to be?.

I remember it as Bulletin for a while. Of course bulletin is verboten because it is a Catholic word ( Papal bull)
