  Wonderful post, brother Raymond. The Borg is condemned by your words. They will never change. The money flows only one way in Watchtower land, to THEM.

  Yes, they DO call police for people stealing money, but not calling police for pedophiles. Doesn’t a thief also “bring reproach on Jehovah’s name”? 🤷‍♀️

  (apologies for the typo in the title.

  "teaching" should read "teachings".

  i misread vanderhoven7's most recent post as being the above.

  Duran, that’s the beauty of a Christian church. You are welcome, even if you may not agree with everything 100%. In the JWs, they kick you out and shun you.

  Jensus, supply your own matzoh and wine. Pass it to everyone in the family. Reject it. Then, when the memorial is over, put cheese on the cracker and enjoy it with the wine.

  I asked my mom this same question, trying to get her to think. She pretended not to understand the question. Maybe that’s a good question to ask the cart people.

  Can someone remind me the reason's you could be disfellowshipped?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.

  there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.

  i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

  Balaamsass, you and your wife, 3rd Gen, should write a book! I would buy it.

  this website is an invaluable source of knowledge for me in my deconstruction journey as i gradually fade away from the org.

  i absolutely love it here.. however, i haven't been very well as of late.

  and i make an effort to bring a sad little message.

  Special Talk just prior to the Memorial

  by Acluetofindtheuser in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is the sunday special talk prior to the memorial just an introduction of a new outline for the sunday public talks?.

  is it an attempt to get the faders back to the meetings?

  they present in a way like some new light is going to be presented at the special talk..

  Not former, I remember the SNL character, Dana Carvey, playing the church lady! So funny! And Balaamsass, I totally agree with you. I used to walk out of these “special” talks, wondering what was so special about it. Just more BS. 💩

  What "message" does the J.W Org. have to offer that will attract new members ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the message they have been pushing for 150 years or so is "the end is near !"..

  in the educated, civilised world, people think " yea ?

  maybe because of economic meltdown exacerbated by climate change, but not from some intervention by a non-existent god".. "would you like a free bible study ?

  Vanderhoven, that is their teaching in a nutshell! Perhaps those at the carts could have your statement printed up on a card, to hand to passersby’s. 😂😂😂 JOIN OR DIE!

  Inviting People to Meetings

  by HereIam60 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the current memorial invitation campaign got me thinking about the few times over the years that someone i invited to a meeting actually came: .

  1) once when i was "new", i invited a friend to a sunday meeting.

  neither of us drove, so the brother conducting my study picked us up.

  I remember being at the Thursday night snooze fest when, to my surprise, a girl from my class showed up, with her mom. Her mom was studying. I spoke to her after the meeting, I was kind of happy to see her (because misery loves company). They came to only a few meetings, never saw them after that. The mom quit the study. 🤷‍♀️

  I think I was in 5-6th grade then.
