  A Gem I over heard at my fathers mid week meeting

  by joe134cd in

  i overheard this, while my father was listening to the mid week zoom meeting.

  apparently all the reshuffling with the bethelites having to do their own food prep and washing was because it would free up space for better utilisation, and bethelites who were needed for these jobs could now be out in the field ministry.

  omg😳 i also chocked when i heard that.

  Oh that's really bad news. Does the Governing Body do their own meal prep and clean up or make their own bed?

  in the year 2000, our congregation decided to split into three separate congregations because of growth.

  there were 186 members.

  the kingdom hall had only 190 seats.

  I have to laugh at Watchtower. Where is this great increase? More like a great decrease. And people don't see the bullshit.

  I love to see Watchtower loose money/membership, shows that finally people are waking up.

  What JW Subjects Interest You The Most On This Site? What Doesn’t??

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i like subjects that delve into the history of the religion and proofs that the witnesses are not the true religion.

  i’m not so much into apologists saying we need to go to meetings, especially if the poster looks like a scammer trying to get ex jws going.

  what subjects interest you ?

  I remember getting a copy of the Watchtower "What is God's Kingdom?" I wrote all over the cover in red ink that it's a delusional dream by some elites to enslave you into poverty.

  Are Jehovah’s Witnesses Wrong Regarding Staying Out of Politics?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we were told we were part of the world if we got involved in politics.

  if we had employment that had political involvement we were instructed to get another job.

  we were told we might be considered disassociated if we voted and then it became questionable.

  It's funny how they want to be no part of politics when it suits them but when it comes down to their "rights" they are all political. Put the rank and file have no rights if you decide to leave.

  Should I continue to help an "unbelieving" husband?

  2. friends

  i know there are a lot of 'wise heads' out there on this forum - so i would appreciate your suggestions.. several years ago, i studied with a guy, whose wife is a jw.

  (he had studied with several elders before i came along).

  the study went reasonably well.

  Patients and asking thinking questions will get the ball rolling on what is for real and what is made up. I did this on my own, questions and questions and it became clear what was all made up. I decided I have no longer any ground to believe in this group.

  At my Dad's funeral I wore my fine western suit and boots, minus the hat and the six gun rig. My wife wore a pantsuit, talk about dirty looks, but we don't follow that crowd nor their silly rules. They all dress up like use car sales people.

  It depends on the group. In one cong I was in they all loved my urban cowboy look. From the top of my hat to the end of my boots, even had a matching six gun rig. Then, a new CO came in an the lecture as to what is Theocratic dress or not. I can see if I wore my six gun. But the rest looked good. I did what I wanted.

  When was your last Kingdom Hall meeting?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  2. beliefs

  i stopped going to kingdom hall meetings about nine years ago.

  i was fading for the longest time, refused to go out in field service, dropped out of the ministry school talks, no longer answered at the watchtower study, arrived at the meetings the last second, and left as soon as possible.

  i couldn't take attending the meetings any longer.

  After years of putting up with the demands of elders, self righteous people wanting favors for cheap. All the gossip. At age of 28 I walked out and never came back. An elder made contact with me to come back, but I told him " I'm too broke to be a Jw". He didn't have much to say after that.
