  Who is the better example in the congregation?

  by BourneIdentity in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  a married brother with multiple children turns in 10 hours of time per month.

  a group of single brothers ranging in age from 13-16 turn in 10 hours per month.

  the married brother works full-time.

  The elders are in the wives ears, hey, motivate your husband to reach out, you and your family will be blessed for it.

  Let’s see here, if he gets 4 more hours of service in, he gets to be up and away from his family while he does mics and sound. If he keeps that routine for awhile, then he gets to be a MS, which means more time away from his family to prepare parts. If he does that for awhile, he gets to be an elder and spend massive amounts of time away from his family to shepherd the flock, prepare talks, travelling to give talks and judging others in judicial committees. I think this would only be a blessing if the wife and children hate their husband and father and want him away as much as possible. Talk about distancing a family and ruining it.

  I’ve saw some of the “friends” show up for field service and say they had their own plans, whether it be a bible study or return visits. An hour later drove past their house and they were in their normal clothes doing yard work. I know others that meet and then go out for breakfast without doing anything. It’s all about appearances, nothing about results or quality. It’s not about what Jehovah thinks, it’s about what their fellow man thinks.

  The married brother works full-time. The single brothers have no job. Safe to say the married brother is working easily 160 hours per month, while the single brothers 0. Dozens of hours per month caring for his home, cars, and children, single brother 0. I could safely assume the brothers are logging 80 hours per month playing video games. So you tell me, what brother do you think will be used as an example and get to pass the mics and do the sound box? You guessed it, the single brothers. The married brothers are told they need to be getting in at least 14 hours. It’s assumed 4 are being used for family worship, so the assumption is they are doing that, but only getting in 6 hours in the field ministry. Who is more whole souled as to Jehovah? It’s absolutely laughable how brain dead these men are running the Organization.

  And your Bible Study conductor will be concerned if you miss one meeting. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but for the indoctrination process to work, you must not have any breaks or downtime to think things through.

  I’m surprised this couple studying with you never warned you not to read any website about JWs other than jw.org. They know once a person does that, they quit studying. If you tell them you’ve done any of this research, they’ll tell you Satan is like a roaring lion and he’s sunk his teeth into you already.

  Brain Teaser

  by BourneIdentity in

  i’ve always wondered about this one.

  if the bible says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, does that mean all mankind that have died will come back to life?

  if so, what’s the incentive for jws to have an urgency to preach and save people?

If so, what’s the incentive for JWs to have an urgency to preach and save people? They’re going to die and be resurrected whether they follow the WT or not.

  What if they learn “the truth” and then fall away, does that mean they don’t get resurrected? And if not, wouldn’t it have been better if they never became a JW? If that’s the case, then all JWs converting people are actually decreasing their studies chances of living forever.

  It’s pure speculation on my part, I don’t believe I worded it in a way to make it sound like it was fact or truth. However, if the WT can pass along all their teachings as truth, then change many of them and still say it is truth and they weren’t lying or wrong prior to that, can’t I do the same?

  I usually have a 6th sense towards these things. I would bet I’m about 80% correct on all my assumptions.

  You know how the Slave tells us all never to drink alcohol at dinner time on a meeting night? They don’t want us under any type of influence when we attend the meeting later that evening, because it would be disrespectful to Jehovah. I could see them ignoring their own counsel and sipping those scotches at any hour of the day. The rules don’t apply to them.

  If I’m not dead on right about my assumptions, the other alternative is this was all for Tony. But I have a strong feeling all 8 of those brothers really enjoy this drink, so I’m sticking with my initial idea.

  I would bet dollars to donuts that this expensive scotch is the preferred drink of the entire Governing Body. They are all sipping on this stuff during all their scriptural discussions of what New Light to introduce to the flock. This type of alcohol run is most likely done every 2 weeks. 8 men that are self medicating can go through a dozen bottles of this in no time. It was Tony’s turn to get it and he got caught with his pants down. The next Governing Body member that has to make the run, you can rest assured he will have a change of plans. They probably are paranoid and feel all the apostates have staked out every liquor store in a 30 mile radius from the Warwick compound.

  The everyday fears of a JW

  by days of future passed in

  2. experiences

  remember how much your life revolved around fears?

  fears of how going to a new place, might put you in harms way?

  how bad the world was and how even talking to people, might find you robbed etc?.

  This is why the religion has such a problem with depression, anxiety and suicide. Constant fear and extreme low self esteem of not being able to measure up to expectations. Husbands stay busy providing for their family, have a home and cars to maintain, kids to care for and then everyone in the congregation, including their spouse rides them because they aren’t reaching out and doing enough. It ends many marriages.

  While they tell you to think the worst of worldly people, they tell you to think the best of the brothers and sisters. That is all lip service, because when anyone sees someone doing something, like Tony buying all that scotch, were trained to think the worst. We have to assume he’s an alcoholic and we need to keep the congregation clean, so off to the elders we rat him out.

  It’s such a toxic environment. So many people are cured of their mental issues shortly after they leave.

  this is a follow-on to my earlier post 'the slain of jehovah'.

  so we're sat in a cafe with my old friend of over 40 years, together with his wife.

  actually, it's 50 years.

  Too damn funny! Parents pleading for their kids to return to Jehovah because the 8 Pharisees will now permit you to receive a blowjob, how priceless!
