  Do You Think Any Of The Governing Body Are Contemplating Suicide? Over This Rather Rude Financial Reality?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  faithful and always so very discrete in many things but when it comes to the lord's money not so good.. i think as it begins to register in their minds as to what a terrible job they have done as ceos of a large corporation leading it into this condition that thoughts of suicide come from.

  not to mention the shame at being a public spetical to the world by the rc.

  all these things and more are creeping through their denial as they are forced to face reality.

  Here is my theory!

  All the seven GB- members are psychopaths. They have already fixed their brand new passports in suitable names anonymously of course . And they are all of them looking for a suitable estate in Cayman Isles, schweiz, Bahamas, if it is not already bought. Remember Beth Sarim?

  I do not know about the association , of the Jonadab class, but I know that according to “Rutherfordism”, the Jonadabs were the “great crowd” that did came to the meetings but didn´t partake the emblems. They were the other who weren’t anointed.

  30-40 years ago, I remember my aunt spending a lot of US$, to let our death family members be baptized “for the death” (Paul word I believe), This is why the LDS church have the very best ancestors database in the world. Still selling the names of your ancestors so you can get them baptized (for a few hundred dollars) in the temple in Salt Lake City. The question is are all of my aunts baptized death family members counted as Mormons? This could boost up LDS numbers considerably!?

  Money woes show it ain't the truth

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  jehovahs people do not beg for money.

  [...] we have never considered it proper to solicit money for the lords cause, after the common custom .

  it is our judgment that money raised by the various begging devices in the name of our lord is offensive, unacceptable to him, and does not bring his blessing either upon the givers or the work accomplished.

  qoute: had Stephen Lett revealing a shortfall between projected income and expenditures for the forthcoming fiscal period.

  I think that the members of the congs. Just use their opportunity to wote with their wallets.

  Why doesn't God need a creator, while the Universe does?

  by Bloody Hotdogs! in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i asked this question of a jw that called on me yesterday: "if the universe requires a creator, why doesn't god?

  if the universe must have a beginning, why doesn't god?

  he claims to have an answer, but it must wait for next time he calls.. i'm hoping you guys can give me a heads-up as to what he will say.

  The answer he will come up with is, God is eternal, no begining or end.

  But that just doesn´t give you a lead? remember Big Bang?

  i was twenty years old.. as a jehovah's witness, i had no career path ahead of me, no college to attend, and no prospect for my future other than.

  knocking on people's doors and scanning the horizon for signs of armageddon:).

  i was engaged to a 17-year-old witness girl i had met at the mineral wells assembly.. what was our future together?

  Terry!

  Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and for your beautiful language. I am a foreigner and I don´t know English that much, but still tears came from my eyes, when I read your Shakespeare like sentences. My experiences are very similar to yours, but my bitterness and angriness, spending over 40 years of my time with impostors, are probably exceeding yours. What a waste of time.

  Did an EX-JW wake you up to TTATT or did you put the effort to wake up yourself?

  by John Aquila in

  2. experiences

  how many of us were woken up by some apostate yelling false prophets at a convention?.

  how many of us were woken up by someone holding a sign and yelling, what happened to 1975.

  how many of us were coerced to investigate the wt because some ex-jw pulled up a bunch of old watchtowers magazines and told us to read the false predictions?.

  The total and inconsequent teachings and the logical fallacy, of the WTBS bible teachings, rumbled in my stomach for over 20 years. But being an elder and having my whole family “in” (wife 6 children) it was not easy to draw the whole family back….But I did insist on the matter that all my children should get the highest education that was possible and suitable for their capacity…. They all got their education and not one of them is in. Finally my stomach reached my head and I started fading, using the time to continue my own education, (my children insisted that it was my turn now) I also took my university degree. Today only my wife is still in and I feel that she is quite lonely and sad. Bu I am also Shure, that she knows all about inconsequent teachings and logical fallacy.

  Just curious

  by Gorbatchov in

  2. friends

  i remember that every time when my father and i came home from the meeting, my mother (who stayed at home for my disabled brother) asked us "who was attending and who wasn't attending".. and then, we took some time to drink coffee and went through the list who was there and who wasn't.

  there after there was an opinion made why someone was absent and what this meant in relation with his strength of believe.. just curious, do you recognize this?

  Hello Gorby!

  I am quite familiar with your description. When I faded (10-15) years ago, and didn’t attend, to a meeting. I had always a call from one or two of the elders, asking if I were sick. Of course I told them on the phone that I didn’t, had the time to sit down and listened to this meeting. Of course they knew that spend my time with “higher” studies. And that made them nervous. Every half year the CO came to visit me, and there was a big dispute if I could proof all the things I actually had learned. Finally they decided, that I were I hopeless fader, and wasn´t anything wort spending their “hours” on. I still don’t know if I am dft or a member of the congs. I think that the members of elders are afraid of, publishing the actual attendees on the meetings. They are afraid of that the Soc. will close their Kingdom Hall . Anyway obviously the members are voting with their wallets.
