  LOL Deut 13:1-5

  by Jonathan Drake in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  omg i've never read this before or if i did i never caught it... .

  13 [a]if a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder,2 and the sign or the wonder comes true, concerning which he spoke to you, saying, let us go after other gods (whom you have not known) and let us serve them, 3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; for the lord your god is testing you to find out if you love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul.

  4 you shall follow the lordyour god and fear him; and you shall keep his commandments, listen to his voice, serve him, and cling to him.

  Quit trying to make sense out of nonsense.

  It's all about control.

  A new low in public shaming (and groveling)

  by Captain Schmideo2 in

  2. friends

  a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.

  the responses are so pathetic.

  these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.

  Garrett: I haven't had depression since I left, I feel much more confident and I feel so free and liberated that at times I'm not too sure what to do with it.

  Good for you. Many people have the same experience.

  Welcome to the rest of your life!

  Stuck: they have refused the help of the elders who have offered to do shepherding calls on them

  This is why I spin it around and say I have a personal family issue with which I need their help. (It involves attempts at reconciliation with family members alienated by my ex-wife. They are all active JWs).
  

  "Please help me reconcile with my estranged children!" I plead.

  But Elders naturally don't want to get involved in this mess.

  I say, "If you won't help me with this, then we really have nothing else to talk about. This is the cause of all of my frustration and depression. This is the reason I can't go to meetings. It's too depressing."

  MNIONC = My Name is of No Consequence

  I made up the acronym on page 3 because his JWN username is too long to type.

  MNIONC: I don’t want to lose my family.

  We get that. That's why we're telling you what we're telling you.

  My ex-wife and the congregation elders successfully alienated two of my children. I haven't talked to either in years.

  I should have fought harder and asserted my boundaries as father. I didn't and lost them. Don't make the same mistake that I and many others here have made.

  Take a stand and you have a fighting chance. Don't and you'll almost surely lose.
