wouldn't it be nice if they said 'you know what, we've made millions in property sales recently, lets donate a couple million to a philipines relief fund..'

ten vans full, probably just for jw's.

...so in effect, what you are saying is, that because donating to other charities goes to anybody, you will not donate. Giving money to the watchtower goes to jws, so you are comfortable with that?

Selective love for your fellow man.....? If your roof blew off in a storm, I would help you out with a donation.....even though you're a witness...I see no distinction in giving aid to someone because of race colour creed or religion.

Your religion, the 'true religion' does.

Is that what you are saying?

So Emeth, why are Jws more deserving of being helped in the event of a natural disaster? Are Jws better humans? Do you think its better for you and your goal of getting into the 'kingdom'? Will you score brownie points by helping a JW first?

Love thy neighbour, but only if he's one of us? And here's me thinking that your bible said 'in gods eyes, all men are equal'.

Emeth - "first things first, and that is our brotherhood and people who have chosen to be part of that international brotherhood and household of God"

So the good samaritan story means nothing to you?

If you were there and you noticed a man or woman bloody and battered crying out for help, you're telling me you would first ask them if they are JW's? And if they weren't?

Walk on by???????????????????

A mistake in fading 4 months ago is coming back to haunt me... HELP!!

by ILoveTTATT in

so today, two elders from a congregation i was in two years ago came by the house.

they said they wanted to talk to me about things that they have heard, and that they want to talk to me very quickly, as soon as possible.

perhaps before this week ends.. i don't know what to do!!

GoneAwol

ILTTATT. Is this your life? Do you own it? Are you responsible for you? Are you responsible for every action and decision?

Or are they? The 'elders'? My advice? Tel'em to f off! 'scuse me.

Are YOU In A Good Place At This Point In Your Life?

i think the longer you're away from the watchtower, the better you feel..

GoneAwol

If just one thread still keeps you attached to the borg somehow, like a relative who is a jw, then you can never realy feel normal. They are the constant reminder of wasted years. If you are activly trying to get them out, its worse as the frustrations wear you down. Only when every member of your household, friends, relatives are out can you start to feel normal. Even then its takes a long time to realize you do feel normal...after all, what is normal? How can we know how we are supposed to be? Who are we? What should we have been like without the cult damaging us every day?

We will never be normal! This stoopid cult is seared into our brain...

A new start? Watchtower renaming at HQ Columbia Heights

by Gorbatchov in

friends,.

who was in any doubt that our jw believe is a marketing model, see this pictures of the still existing hq of jw at columbia heights.. earlier comments on jwn that something is going to change in the organisation, these comments are true.. in a few years we will not talk about the watchtower society, we wil talk about jw.org.

i think the current leadership will make a transfer to a new start.

GoneAwol

Maybe they'll get rid of the name Watchtower on the rags and just have the title JW.org? Even more distance from its wacky history..

The murmuring phase is the beginning of an ex-JWs progression towards fading.

i suppose part of the fascination i have with this board is, the exotic nature of those making up the member population.

i say exotic because, as you yourselves will agree with, folks such as yourselves don't hang around the christian congregation for long upon making the decision that truth is not for you.

(rom 1:25) this "fading" thing spoken of here likely plays a role into why christians such as me find the average ex-jw to be a bit fascinating.

SFPW, hi! I,ve not had chance to post much lately, but I do enjoy your posts. Can you answer a question for me? I have just read Jude and I cant seem to see where it says 'governing body'. Can you help me out?

Cheers!
