What is the most bizarre counsel you received as a JW, from a JW?

by Funchback in

there were many addressed to me.

for example, i once had a sister tell me i was gambling because i liked playing skill crane (the machine where you have to try to pick up prizes like stuffed animals) at the arcade.

i then fired back a her: "you saw the r-rated movie 'backdraft.

William Penwell: The elders fall back line is always, well if it should make someone stumble then maybe you should [not] do it.

And that, my friend, is how the people with "weak consciences" end up ruling the congregation!

Seriously, he looks nervous and distracted. Like even HE doesn't believe what he's saying!

He can't even maintain eye contact for more than a few brief moments. It's weird the way he keeps looking off-camera nervously ...

"We have apostates and opposers that would like God's people to think that the 'Faithful Slave' is dogmatic, and they expect you to accept everything that comes out from headquarters …." - 4:44

Um, yeah!

Did ToMo never read the November 15th, 2013 Watchtower with that now infamous maxim:

All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

Jesus H. Christ! How many times did that guy say, "obey" or "obedience during that 7:51" talk???

Let's review: It's a cult!

Stop reading old society publications. They are not good for you.

And that means anything published prior to 2000.

BerryGerry: you are not asked to ACCEPT everything, but you are required to OBEY everything.

That's exactly what they expect!

Among other things, I'm a songwriter.

I once wrote a song with a lyric referring to a dream I had. A "brother" once condescendingly said, "We don't have prophetic dreams you know!"

I said, "What are you talking about? I have dreams every night!"

I should have know then: It's a cult!

One of the benefits of our "apostate" world-wide network is that we have discovered that, with few exceptions such as the new HQ, building projects always seem to be going on "somewhere else"!

Been encouraging my husband to contact his DF'd brother

by atacrossroads in

jw
friends

my husband has a brother he has not spoken too in years not even when he became an adult.

there is a big age gap between them and when his brother was df'd he was still a small child.

his brother was 17 when he was df'd for sex and when he turned 18 he left home and never looked back.

This religion ruins families and destroy natural bonds.

Read your husband this scripture and ask him who it applies to in his situation:

But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away - 2 Timothy 3:1-5

Ask him why he won't reach out to his own brother?
