  The "excuses" used by Witnesses....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have you noticed how witnesses feel that they need to use an "excuse" or "reason" for any big personal decision they make?.

  for instance, if they want to move to another part of the world it is "to serve where the need is greater, or to help the truth" (rather than "we just wanted to move to....because we have always wanted to live there").

  or if they want a holiday many will say "oh we will "help the local brothers while we are there..." .

  It's a way to cover my life.

  Holidays: I need it because there's so much stress at work and in the cong. Need to recover. Don't preaching and don't argue with this.

  Big car: it's better for preaching, help brothers and take people to the cong.

  Big flat: better for inviting brothers and sisters.

  Give up CLAM-membership: have to care for an older sister and not sure if I can be present every time.

  But a lot of dubs hide the materialistic world behind such phrases, yes. If they move to an other place in the world, they mostly uber-dubs which not able to live a normal live.

  You can also try the dub-way. Ask her, if she thinks that it's a part of a wise use when everywhere mags at your home. If she don't need this trash anymore, she should give it back to the kingdomhall for other preachers.

  Beards

  i left the witnesses.

  returned full bearded, which drew censure from a district overseer: “peter, you can’t witness door-to-door with a beard”.

  bewildered, i asked for an explanation.

  At the moment I have to. Yes, it's hard. Its part of my plans I work at the moment, I hope I have to step down the next time. Will make them kick me to start my fade and not to step down on my own. Should be a very cool WTF-moment in the cong. Until this happens, I try to wake up others. At this moment it worked!

  You know: If you want an apostate friend, you have to make a friend an apostate!

  I think you can't discover every awoken. I hope so, don't crush my plans of fading. I have to attend the meetings (MS) and so I fake a big part of it. But from the outside I look perfect: coloured WT, some text on the side (BS means biblestudy, please don't missunderstand.), answers,...

  If you know me, you only know I'm a critical thinker, sometimes very critical. But unless you know me very good, you think I'm full in. I hope there a lot of people in the cong awoken but to afraid to show it.

  Advice needed

  by Peony in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  can someone tell me the scriptural basis (according to jw's) for shunning disassociated ones.

  only asking because i don't remember (probably wasn't that interested) i'm sure the shunning in the scriptures was just applied to disfellowshipped.

  i've only been out 3 years but i seem to have forgotten any scriptures or reasoning!

  They can. The official WT-spin is: You break up the familiy while you leave god and the cult. There's a study-WT, I think dated Februar this year, where you can read it. (I cant search the articel at the moment, sorry.)

  good morning from the east coast.

  i have a question.

  a friend of mine texted me and one of the things she said was that they were getting a lot of great responses with the campaign because they are showing the video.

  I mainly fake my hours, but all the dubs very crazy about the videos. More and more buy tablets. And if you spend $$$ then every reaction is great for you. So a lot of them show videos, back to the roots - grammophone 2.0

  My meeting yesterday

  by stephanie61092 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.

  god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.

  can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

  i was just reading through some posts and had a startling realization.. the comment that sparked this went something like this: why oh why when i started into this in 1989 did i not research the history of the wtbts?

  etc....... i too was studying and moving towards baptism around that same time.

  i got dunked in dec of 1990.. my thought.

  Skedaddle, I also think so, there's a big change ahead. My sugestion is, in september the new temple in Warwick is finished, a new year (witness-years from october to september) starts, most of the kingdomhalls got beamer or screens, most publisher got a tablet and the midweekmeeting nearly finished the book-study. So there'll be a good point for the next "big thing".

  And the publisher in the cong more and more bored.
