JWs unrecognisable compared to my grandfathers time

by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

my grandfather who has been dead for 37 years would not recognise the borganisation today.

he would turn in his grave if he knew the end didn’t come by 2023.. back in the 1970s he really believed in the 75 thing.

he was so disappointed and almost blamed everyone else why the end didn’t come.

My roller coaster ride out of jw.org started with the 1995 generation change. Blood fractions, alternative service, et cetera et cetera. My grandparents told me in 1995 they were not sure anymore about having the truth and died some years later.

Later on JW Pelechia, Jolene Chu and the german historician Dedlef Garbe opened my eyes and jw-media came to light. The double talk and the many lies about jw hystory made my presence in the kingdom hall came to an end. Never felt better!!

1974 and all that

by Number 6 in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xznh9icm1os.

i came across this footage recently whilst searching for something completely unrelated and it blew me away!.

it's from the august 1974 convention at murrayfield, edinburgh and you can clearly see the stage set up still keeping the 6000 years and 1975 mantra going.. what makes this very personal for me is that i was here.

Same feelings here.

so my mother passed on 20 aug 23 from the big c. i was there when she went.

that was indeed very traumatic.

i won't go to describe it.. dad went 17 years ago so there's just me now.

My condoleance for you and relatives.

Jw.org is a mess for family and social relations. False friendships only based on the sects interactions

JW.ORG Needs Lawyers

by Vanderhoven7 in

jehovah's witnesses are not encouraging university education... but those who are lawyers already can apply to volunteer to help at bethel.. https://youtu.be/5d_-1lbg-oc?si=fsxeewic-fkczu9p.

Reading WT and Awake was equal to University education, they said a long time ago 😆

Most important is that he is no longer with us. Happy with that.

So, 60 Years Ago

by titch in

so, folks, 60 years ago, starting on september 1st, i believe, we, local witnesses in southern california, had the "privilege" of attending the "around the world assembly", at, of all places, the rose bowl, in pasadena.

(i think that it was an 8-day assembly) i was 9 years old then, almost ready to start 4th grade.

so, was anyone else, on this site, at that assembly?

Gorb

It is years ago my wife and I attended a convention. We are POMO and sometimes jw family "encourage" us to visit. But we won't. Do we miss it? No.

We don't miss the organization. The congregation. The hamster carrousel of jw life. The repeating, indoctrination.

The false kind of friendship and attention of fellow jw's.

But beeing a kid it was something special I remember. Some kind of a journey. But later on my feeling was that something was not right with the big crowds and mass applause.

Sagely advice of a CO

by Vidqun in

“a circuit overseer started out by saying that on this last round of the circuit, the one thing he noticed the most...is that everyone is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually drained...and that cuts across all barriers and demographics within the truth.

he then said that the one common thread that ran among nearly everyone was this: we feel guilty for feeling bad.

he said because we are told to endure with joy, our minds can cause us to feel enormous guilt over feeling this way...and then, my dear brothers and sisters...he proceeded to blow our collective minds.. he asked us to turn to daniel 8:27….

Gorb

Pseudo religion bla bla bla.

One of the reasons we are so happy to be out of this sect.

What is going on with the motivation of the jw?

If nobody is talking to you and nobody is there, why not taking the chart and do some other things?!?
