Can you image sitting there hearing this (Spanish)

by fulano in

gerrit losch giving a talk in so-called spanish in the dominican republic.

first begging for donations ...and than this.

brothers and sisters travelling hours and hours to hear this reading, he obviously doesnt speak spanish, just knows how to read it.

Native Spanish speaker here ... I think his Spanish is quite good, I've heard worst at the KH. The content on the other hand ..... 👎🏽👎🏽😴😴

Interesting observation: As time goes on......it seems the jehovah witness will be shortened to JW

by goingthruthemotions in

maybe it's just me, but i do believe that the jehovah witness brand as we know it will be solely jw or jw .

org eventually.. the reason being is because if you do a search on google or youtube for jehovah witness.

so much bad publicity.

I can see that happening .. "The cult formerly known as Jehovah's Witnesses" 😂

Alone

by Deleteandrestart in

since i woke up one year ago , i've been doing a somewhat controlled fade , the experience i've had has been a very solitary one , i don't mean by not seeing anyone i know because i know hundreds in several congregations and i was an elder .

but just coming to terms with the fact that this was no longer the solution to life's problems, that i'd wasted so much time, that as i sat in the kh and heard everyone comment, my heart was no longer in it , i no longer fitted in ..... i felt that they were in the congregation all under the spell or some form of hypnosis from the wtbts,.

it was like for the first time in my experience at the kh , that i was the only one to see what was actually going on , the indoctrination, the guilt tripping, i could see it all as clear as day , and yet i had as it where a metal gag over my mouth, i couldn't speak to anyone about it for fear of them turning me into the spiritual police.

My feelings exactly.

Be ready to obey!!

by kairos in

jw
friends

http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/w20131115/seven-shepherds-eight-dukes/.

from paragraph 17-. at that time, the life-saving direction that we receive from jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.. i think i know what the instructions will be.it's nothing new.

The paragraph was specifically addressed to the elders, it's interesting to see that the WT knows how much influence the elders have. They know that their "brilliant ideas" can only go so far without the full support of the local elders.

After 50 years Zealous Service, My Elder Friends goes Inactive

by James Jack in

i asked him what happened.

he said "him and his wife lived a full theocratic life for jehovah.

doing everything the organization and the traveling brothers told them to do, like work part time, regular pioneer, serve where the need is great.

LettMorrisSplaneit

This is so sad, I feel bad for them. The WT is a snare and a racket.

by TheLiberator in

i have spent 45 years of my life sacrificing my soul to the watchtower.

i gave every moment to them.

How I detest those "little monsters"!

We've all been duped and that's the reality, the length and degree to which we gave our all to the 'org' ... the more difficult it is to come to terms with it.
