  i have just heard from a visitor to the jehovah's witnesses convention for 2019, that they have been told; 'not to form an emotional attachment to their pets, as animals don't have feelings anyway'.. well, that should break a few children hearts!👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 🥴 😭 💔.

  Animals don't have feelings? Really? Then why does a dog walk away real slow with his head down when he's about to get scolded for getting into something he shouldn't have. He hasn't even been given shit and he knows he's done something to upset you. Or the dog that knows your not well and doesn't leave your side. The dog that laid at his dead master's grave site mourning for his master. Dam right animals have feelings.

  If the org could make money off our pets every time they went to die and we got top dollar for their pelts and sent the money into them then they would sing a different tune. Such assholes and the ones sitting there listening to this crap are even bigger dummies. It's the children I feel sorry for. They are forced to put up with this garbage.

  Do You Think Disfellowshipping Is The Worst Thing About Jehovah’s Witnesses?

  the longer i’m out the more i feel that disfellowshipping is cruel.

  i understand the organization tells parents to not even accept emails or texts from their disfellowshipped children.

  while i was a witness they tried to discourage families from association but there was some leeway if it was considered necessary business to interact.

  2 John 9-10 New International Version (NIV)

  9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take them into your house or welcome them.

  Again the joho's get it wrong. Anyone denying the Christ were not to be associated with. Even Christ associated with the men of the nations:

  Matthew 9:10-17 New International Version (NIV)

  10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

  When many leave the cult it's not because they have denied Christ's teachings but they deny the cult's false teachings. Even Jesus ate with sinners of all sorts.

  Zeb, at the Canadian branch they went out and got a few shepherds from pups to be guard dogs. No one was allowed to touch them or talk to them but that failed. Everyone was loving them up and feeding them their left over lunches. There were a couple of dogs over at the bethel farm as well and when that farm got sold the brother that had it was allowed to bring the dog over to the bethel in Georgetown where it lived out its life with its master in one of the houses they lived in. Yes the dog was allowed to live in the house with the elderly brother until the dog passed away. And let me tell you, brother Kurt sure did love that dog!

  I walked away and then a few years later called in to bethel service department and told them to take me off their membership roll. The following week I was announced at the hall I had attended. Nothing on paper, no letter to send in but for sure I wanted nothing in their name associated with my name or reputation. I understand totally why you did what you did. We're free at last!

  similar to that recent convention video, this illustrates a mother ignoring her disfellowshipped daughter's phone call.

  Or how about a person who was only publicly reproved and not df'd. They did nothing wrong but stopped going to the meetings. And they were dying of cancer and just wanted to talk to a family member but that family member told them they were afraid that their faith would be shaken. That dying person also had lost everyone in their congregation so they had also lost all their friends. They have no friends and no family and are dying. Watchtower you will fucking pay. The courts are looking more in favor of the ones who are shunned. It's just a matter of time and it's soon. Real soon. Just around the corner. Sound familiar?

  Where I can find information on South Australia court case, where a JW sued his KH and the WTS after breaking his leg in field service?

  by LUKEWARM in

  .

  from memory a newspaper article reported on this some years ago - it involved the jw trespassing on private property, being knocked over by a goat, the homeowner being sued and having to pay damages to the jw.. initially as the jw sued his congregation, the wts defended the kh and itself with the statement that jw's are not required to go out in field service and that the ministry work is purely voluntary.... can anyone point me to a link?.

  I remember being out in service one time and we had a call where on the back of the territory card it had read that the home owner's dog bites. Yet the idiot we were with went in anyways. It was a widow who had no kids but only her dog. When the guy turned around to go back to the car he was bitten by her dog. Later that afternoon he went to the hospital and from there someone had gone out to this poor women's home and took her dog away. It was put in quarantine for I think something like two weeks. She got the dog back but also paid for his trousers to be mended. I was pissed and got told off for telling this idiot what he did wrong. So thankful to be out and and ashamed to have ever been a joho!!!

  for the second year in a row, the org has marked international women's day.

  this time, it's an article that lists most female bible characters in alphabetical order with a brief summary for each, topped by a picture of them in 'empowering' poses.

  rey and captain marvel would be proud lol.. .

  When did they start yelling at professed anointed ones not to partake?

  by newsheep in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is this a new practice of the org or just certain elders wanting to throw their weight around?

  we had received a phone call from a once mennonite man turned joho and he was upset.

  the elders for three years in a row have hounded him not to partake.

  Gone Rogue him and his friend were appointed two months after the elders wanted to use them in a judicial which they were happy to do. There were also on Label Lickers judicial meeting as well. These guys are in the Elmira, Ontario congregation. Don't ever say it would never happen. I was there and saw it all as well. The other kid that ended up being an elder was just recently reinstated and half a year later he was made an ms and one year later an elder. He too went along with the BS of the judicial meeting and two months after label licker was df'd both these two were made elders. I wish Mouthy Grace were still alive for she was there for Label Licker when Label Licker needed some support.

  So someone can get disfellowshipped for partaking but once anointed they are really not disfellowshipped? Where is that in the bible? What a really messed up religion. I'm sure Jesus would have something to say about this since his apostles weren't anointed back then when they partook.

  He said the one was. The other elder who has been an elder for years just sat back and let the young one do all the drama. The wife was so shaken up that she is too scared to partake at the hall so when they get home after the meeting they do it together. It's really sad what all religions are capable of . I wish they would all be done away with. So I gather this doesn't go on in other halls by the replies here.
