  New requirement to become an Elder or Ministerial Servant!

  by hardtobeme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it has been a few months since i hear this from an elder.

  he said that the c/o told them this new requirement.. "men that wanna be an elder or ministerial servant has to go out to field service on sundays.

  if there is an elder or ministerial servant that is not going out to field service on sunday can lose the priviledge".

  You forgot: No tight pants or colored socks and no "Spanx" on their wives when jogging.

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  Religious nuttery alerts

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  it seems like every couple of months i notice we've acquired a new religious nut and they have been posting away, annoying everyone and filling the forum with crap.

  it's disheartening to see people (even moderators!

  ) have been having conversations with them and there are pages and pages of insults and crap - we're going to try and avoid this in future.

  I think the best response is no response. If you don't feed them, they go away.

  nasa discovery proves the bible scientifically accurate.

  the debate.

  for decades there has been a long standing debate between science and religion as to the validity of the biblical genesis account of creation.

  Hey guys, it's a DEPOSITION. It says that in the title of this thread on on page 2 of the linked transcript.

  Ashe was not on a witness stand in a court room. This is out of court testimony.

  It's part of the discovery process pre-trail. There was not a judge present.

  The attorneys voice their objections for the record so they are there if and when a trail occurs later.

  What percentage of the JW world do you think dont know or can explain this doctrine

  No one can explain it. It's nonsense.

  Guilt, Regret or Denial

  by game1914over in

  in your time of being a witness, have you witnessed a jw experience death of a loved one due to refusal of a blood transfusion?

  i know this is an extremely sensitive subject and can reopen deep emotional wounds.

  if you're willing to share, i am interested.

  game1914over: If this has happened to someone that you know, how are they dealing with it or have dealt with it through the years? Is there a sense of guilt or regret? Or have they just put it all behind?

  Life goes on, but you can never put something like that behind you.

  For those that wake up, the sense of betrayal by the organization which we trusted is overwhelming.

  The leaders of this religion make ridiculous demands of their followers, yet they NEVER take any responsibility for their actions.

  Oh Irony of ironies: Googling for a problem caused by the WT and getting a solution from JW.org :-(

  i have to share this with you.. after leaving the borg i had to concentrate to solve so many personal problems (financial, child custody, etc.

  ) that it left me with a poor social life.

  i just didn't have the nerve/time to make new friends.

  if tomorrow dozens of jws learned of ttatt

  by sowhatnow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  and they left the congregations, would you then feel open to be thier friends?.

  many on here have the same complaint, that in the jw congregations, there were clickes, no one had time for each other,.

  people judged, there was a lack of association, freindship , true concern and love were lacking.

  DB, Tony you are a douche

  No, Losch is the douche, Tony's a Turd.

  Otherwise I completely agree with you!

  DB: Really sad that a meeting that was supposed to encourage became a trigger for a depressive episode.

  Vidquin: I just think there will be quite a few waking up to TTATT, with the way things are going, so one should go easy on them.

  Agreed.

  Vidquin:By reasoning logically from the Scriptures, one could point them in the right direction.

  Agreed! But you can't get to logical reasoning by half measures. A form of argument that is "mostly logical" is still illogical.

  Vidquin:Also it has become clear that their leadership has become totally disconnected from reality.

  And agreed!!!
