  they went on gushing about the website, and the new business cards they have to give out to busy people.

  Local elder dies of starvation

  well , not really.. our hall recently had a secret collection for our head elder who is almost on the verge of becoming homeless.

  i guess he lost some cleaning contracts because his clients were just sick of his no shows because of his pioneer work.

  there is always something more important to do than earn a living.. this is the same assholes he is always shaming people to not doing enough.

  Reminds me of my families own set of hard times. The year: 1999. Family of JW's for 20+ years, good standing. My father develops an aggressive form of cancer. My mother works full time as an RN, AND goes to all meetings and some field service. Father needed surgery right away, treatment, etc. My mom stayed home more to care for my father. After a while, when she did show up to meetings she asked an Elduh for some sort of help, anything. Elduh's response? "We are not a charity. You need to pray more, attend all the meetings, and be more active in the field ministry." My mom came home from that meeting in state of utter shock and despair. She was doing EVERYTHING and then some, and was exhausted. What did she get from the JW's? A guilt trip about not doing enough. A few months later, the portly rotund PO Elduh had to have heart by-pass surgery. My mother happened to be at the Sunday meeting where an actual announcement was made from the stage about the PO's condition and that they were asking for meals to be made or gift cards to restaurants could be given so that the PO's wife didn't have to cook. She was a stay-at-home wife who didn't even work!!!!! My mom was again floored. This was the red-flag wake-up call that the JW's were hypocritical, useless, self-absorbed CULT. She never recovered from her treatment and being treated like a 2nd class citizen, all the while others in the hierarchy got treated like royalty. It led her to ask me about what I was reading online, and she actually ordered Ray Franz's books online first, and then gave them to me!!!!!

  JW's: Shooting themselves in the foot for over 130+ years! Too stupid to know what charity and hypocrisy are, yet actively go out and attempt to recruit suckers while their members are dying along the roadside.

  I had a taste of more "JW Christian Love", while my mother was on her death bed. The final straw for me.

  Would anyone be complaining if this were Scientology Centers that the Russian Government had banned and outlawed, then seized their property? I didn't think so. One is as bad as the other!

  Fuck the WT!!!! Glad to see a country with some sense taking the initiative to protect it's uneducated citizens from the greedy, manipulative, conniving WT CULT!!!!!

  JW's on my front sidewalk

  so last weekend, the jw's ring the bell and my wife answers.

  we live in a heavily spanish neighborhood but don't really speak spanish.

  i thought my wife was quite clear that she is a "sister" to them, but maybe the one in charge of the group didn't get the message.

  The Latino/Spanish/Mexican JW members in the USA are a superstitious, paranoid group of mindless believers as it is. It comes from their traditional ethnic and Catholic backgrounds. So when they become JW's, they are easily fooled into believing Satan and the Apostates are out to get them. The Spanish JW's are some of the most brainwashed believers out there. Why? Because they are "all in." They and their families came here and were usually converted from the evil Catholic Church, and bought the anti-Catholic JW spin, hook, line, and sinker. So they have a hard time hearing or listening to anything anti-JW.

  I'm sure glad you "clued them in" to what is really up in this freak-show of a cult. Maybe, just MAYBE, they will be curious enough to do their own Google searching after hearing everything you said. Much like you, when I was confronted at my home over the past few years by JW's in the ministry, I told them straight up not to take my word for it, oh no!!! They should search it up themselves, in particular - Governing Body Member Geoffrey Jackson's incredible testimony right in front of the Australian Royal Commission, which is right up on Youtube for anyone to see. Watch their eyes bulge out of their sockets when you lay THAT gem on them!!!

  Wow.....your sister sounds like a total CUNT. I'd have told her straight up to mind her own damned business, and that I'd be visiting MY grandfather and to play chess whenever the hell I want to, and if she didn't like it, she could promptly F*CK OFF!

  Work Colleague Went To a JW Funeral - His Experience

  by pale.emperor in

  2. experiences

  so the guy in my office on the desk next to me has just got back from the funeral of his wifes sister.

  this was his first time in a kh and full on exposure to jwdom.. bit of background: the deceased jw was not a born in, she was a convert when she was in her teens.

  she died last week at the age of 82. the poor old dear was still zealously knocking on doors while in ill health.

  Oh....oh! You want to hear about a JW funeral experience? Well, I went to one in 2008 of a very popular Elder who had owned a construction type business and employed some JW's who met an unexpected death on a worksite. Anyway, this funeral was HUGE!! They talked about his life growing up, how he was a star basketball player in high school, (everyone else was forbidden), organized Congregation baseball and basketball games (I didn't even know about them, much less invited by him), etc, etc for 25 minutes! Then they started in on the standard JW infomercial. Oh! And before all that started there was a family "Condolences Line" I guess you'd call it, where his family was meeting people coming in. So his mom was a long-time JW, and his business partner brother was NOT. Anyway, when I got to his mom, I hugged her and she told me I just HAD to come back, and then proceeded to place the "Bible Teach" book with me like I was some schmuck who hadn't been born into the religion. I was floored. The worldly brother must have seen my face, cause we met eyes and he rolled his like, "oh brother, let this all end!" Afterwards, there was a HUGE reception/wake at a separate venue!!!! I didn't bother to go in, cause there was such a hoop-n-hollering going on (like some kind of party?!?!?) that I was disgusted and left. I saw several "worldly" people I knew at the funeral who later told me it was the most awkward and disgusting funeral they had ever attended, what with the "WT Infomercial" thrown in. I agreed. Me, I was pissed hearing how this Elduh had gotten away with basically being totally worldly as a youth (even playing sports!!!) and then somehow made it big in JW-Land, becoming Presiding Overseer even! So live the life as a youth, then denounce and forbid it from the platform as the PO? What a hypocrite!!!!! I was soooooo pissed off when I left that day. And to think; his grieving mother was placing literature at her son's funeral? Fuggin' disgusting!!!!!

  I agree with above. The baby probably died due to the hesitation and delay to give the required blood transfusion at the proper time. GOD isn't to blame, the idiocy and Pharasitical rules of the JW's are to blame!!!!

  You can be sure this woman ran far away from her dumbass husband, as well as the dumbass JW's.

  Truly, "Babylon the Great, Has Fallen!"

  I'm an "80's Kid" as well. I am 38. I totally feel ya........2017, almost 2018, and here we still are? Incredible. My JW parents and all the other older ones they studied with? ALL DEAD. I'm still here, and I have a 13 yr old son who's never seen the inside of a Kingdumb Hell. Probably never will. Never thought I'd be pushing 40 on THIS side of New Order!!!!! Never thought I'd see past 2014 in this System of Things. It's surreal seeing the sign come down.....like, WTF?? That was never supposed to happen. Maybe they'll move the sign and put it up across the lake from the new WT HQ?? Hmmmmmmm............

  "Dis-fellowshipping" is really just a control tactic that uses intimidation to force compliance to the Cult. There is no "free will" in a cult. Period.
