  new assembly experience... what do you reckon to this one?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok so aparently there was this young girl who wanted to study with the jw's because she loved the bible so much.

  she asked her fathers permission but he refused, after much nagging though he said she could have a study if she was prepared to have one of her fingers chopped off.

  he thought the is would stop her but she was willing so he got a knife and cut off one of her fingers... a little while later she wanted to attend the meetings and he said no and again when nagged said she could attend meetings if she had another finger chopped off so she agreed and he chopped off a second finger.

  These people are just plain nuts.

  And this story has made the rounds so many times it should have frequent flyer miles.

  I plan to share this with an old friend, an ex-elder who left his wife and the bOrg and was df'd but now tells me he is working hard to be reinstated. (WTF?) I thought he was intelligent but we'll see how he reacts to these news articles and lawsuits.

  Balaam, thank you for posting this, keep up the good work!

  remember getting the sense that when armageddon final comes everyone will "have to know" that it was jehovah?.

  the big "told you so".

  probably on christmas to boot.... .

  i just discovered that the circuit assembly my family is attending tomorrow contains a symposium entitled:.

  help others to seek jehovah's righteousness: those who have become inactive.

  i poked around a bit on here and didn't find any comments about this.

  Stillin, I agree. From the comments I've heard, most look down on me with pity, convinced that I have either done something I'm ashamed of or that I've allowed someone to stumble me. Poor me.....Meanwhile, I am enjoying a beautifully cool sunshiny morning and I get to plan my day according to my wishes.

  But I really like the idea of counteracting their attempts with "Oh, my goodness, have you not heard of the widespread child abuse scandals? It's worse than the catholic church!" and them hand them some newspaper clippings on Candace Conti, the Texas 6, the UK scandals...and toss in a letter from the UN as well.

  so what are you doing to enjoy yourself?

  doesn't have to be for anyone around you, or have anything to do with jw world.

  just something that you do for you and only you and that fills your soul (whatever that means).

  Although the thought of watching the cartoons in Ucantnome's underwear sounds like fun...I like to garden and see beautiful plants grow. I'm also re-reading lots of books from past decades that I never had time for or "shouldn't" have read because they were (oh, no!) "worldly". Then there is craft beer...grandkids...and being at peace every day. And I am particularly fond of sleeping in on the weekends...not that I do, but knowing that I CAN. Lovely.

  Rutherford's love letter to Hitler

  by irondork in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  has anyone ever thought to send a copy of rutherford's letter to hitler & declaration of facts to the holocaust museum in washington, d.c.?

  they have and entire section dedicated to the jehovah's witness in that museum.

  i would hate for tourists to visit the museum and not get the whole story.. i would also assume there are jw displays at other holocaust museums around the world.

  Dudu - I never thought I would have children and was working on my master's when I became pregnant. I never found the master's necessary to earn money, but I did find being a mom to be the most absolutely wondrous and joyful thing I've ever accomplished.

  Screaming kids come from unsettled parents, usually. If you are calm and happy, your kids will be calm and happy.

  To this day, I can honestly tell you that my daughters have made my life important. Work, not so much. I don't define myself by my job (which pays nicely, btw). Being a mom taught me what love means. It taught me unconditional love. Amen to the good doctor BerryGerryBerry when he says:

  Nothing turns you into a better human being than being a parent.

  Wishing you all the best, whatever decision you make. Happy life!

  seriously, endured a torturous conversation with an active jdub yesterday.

  and he was frothing at the mouth about how "muslims are doing the right thing with .

  executing the....." he then went on to list everyone from drugdealers to thieves to fornicators.. he said "countries where this sort of thing is happening have got it right!

  LUHE - once upon a time, the jdubs actually held Jesus in esteem, but no longer...he exists in their limited minds only to show how wonderful! is their false god Jehovah.

  Just another reason why this is a CULT and not a religion in any sense.

  And they have some really scary cult personas...
