  Prince: frustration and relief

  by AFreeBeliever in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i haven't posted in a long time, but all this news re: prince has brought up alot of "stuff" for me.

  having been a born-in 3rd generation until being disfellowshipped, losing all of my family and friends i had since birth in one big go, i find myself going between frustration, and honestly some feelings of resentment, and ...relief...regarding prince (who, by the way, i am not disparaging personally, just, as most of us know, he would have been held up as the perfect example of what not to be by the watchtower organization and the double-standard/hypocrisy is rather stunning).

  resentment/frustration, due to my personal experiences and those of many i knew.

  I feel what you are saying, AFB.... You tried to do something nice for someone, and the WT squashes it..... That organization is not one of "love"..... they are the Borg. Really.

  It is so hypocritical for them to treat rich people one way, and the 'not famous' another. They hurt people in so many ways, especially because you hear them repeat at assemblies/ conventions, "we show love the world around" , "we are truly loving our neighbors" then act the opposite, in a clandestine way.

  You are right... this just might help wake some people up... at least wrestle with their consciences...

  You are a good person, the WT is the bad guy...

  Hang in there,

  WT writes in a very specific and wily (cunning & sly)... deliberate manner. Their sentences are long, interfused with illustrations, comments, commas, interjections of scriptures all to confuse you, throw you off track, and disrupt your ability to discern their intent.

  Sometimes, after reading a paragraph, and re-reading it, you realize that it really has said nothing at all.

  When we read the two articles in 2 different 2011 WTs on 607, to sort thru all their loaded language, I had to cut it apart then tape it back together, because WT would say "we'll get to that later" ... that meant the next article.

  WT is decevious. (New word, haha deceitful & devious rolled into one!)

  My brother died last night

  i found out this morning that my brother died last night, he was also an ex jw, 73 years old and died of heart disease and kidney failure.

  it was not totally unexpected, as he had been in poor health, but it's a blow, especially as i just lost another brother two years ago.

  there were six of us, now only four.

  if you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .

  he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.

  yes, the governing body past were a bunch of freaking yahoo's violating 1 cor.

  They went "well beyond the intent of the scriptures"???!!!

  Why are you listening to people who go "well beyond the intent of the scriptures???

  Tell me, JWs.... are you going to have to wait for another 100 years to hear how they again are now going "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" !!!???

  Remember.... if you question them/ the Borg.... you are dead to them.

  You lose all, they get all.... but, they 'go well beyond the intent of the scriptures'....

  Say that to yourselves a few times... "well beyond the intent of the scriptures."

  my wife and i live in a small town in northern new jersey.

  there is a building near our house that, many decades ago, used to be the local post office.

  it sat idle for many years, but a couple of years ago, some folks bought it and renovated it into a nice little cafe.

  Proof indeed that Rutherford was crazy, and JWs have no idea of the lies told, covered up, buried, forgotten.... all in a nice sweet, "It's all good" package.

  Funny, SimonT.... the same exact thing happened at our hall... "No tablets, that's worldly"..... then "surprise!" .... it's "ok"..... and as another thread you are made to feel guilty if you are 'not keeping up' with Jehovah's Chariot... that fast moving organization!

  PS, my sister's hall had a School servant like yours... he would hold up the ipad to show "time is up"!

  New Spiritually Weak Label: Not Using Tablet/iPhone

  by Doubtfully Yours in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with last night's meeting it became official: here in the states is a must to keep up with 'jehovah's org' that one fully jumps on board with this tablet/iphone crap.. so, now, all of us that up to this point have refused to follow the wtbts in their electronic/wireless revolution will deal with the browbeating from the 'spiritual' ones.. already receiving lots of grief from hubby and rest of the family/close friends when seen at the meetings with paper publications.

  damn it!!!

  am i alone in this resistance???!!!.

  Those things cost money!

  What if you can't afford them? hmmm? I thought it was "materialistic" to acquire "things"?

  I really do NOT like the WT..... Guilt, guilt, guilt..... That is what they thrive on.

  Resist, do not bend, just laugh when you hear them being frustrated!

  “Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.

  he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.

  at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.
