  CO Comes Up With A New Way To Be Judgemental...

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  at the latest co visit something very strange happened.

  during the meeting with the elders and servants he passed out a copy of a hypothetical publisher card and asked us what we could learn from it.

  upon receiving it i saw that the average hours were pretty good, it had return visits and quite a few bible studies.

  The CO's Motto:

  "Hey, I can build the flock up, by beating them down!"

  Therefore:

  "The beatings will continue, until morale improves."

  it was rather crowded.

  no jw discourse.

  I gotta say, I was skeptical of John's experience at first too. Then I read his last post above, about where he is located. This is Mexico people, not Vermont. The Mexican culture absolutely loves and insists on these types of gatherings, and I don't find it strange or out of line at all for this amount of people in the Mexican culture do have a gathering like this. That is Mexican culture. If this were taking place in the New England states, or Georgia, I'd be more reserved. However, if you recall, there was a yearly meet-up somewhere here in Pennsylvania, around Blue Mountain Retreat or something, that was for ex-JW, ex-JW groups, apostates, etc. The place burnt down, and I haven't heard anything about it in 3 or 4 years. They held it like every October. I'm fairly certain at least 100-200 ex-JWs would show up for that. It ran for probably 20 years? So this is not unheard of even here so close to WT HQ.

  "a certain young man named eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep.

  as paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead".

  ^^^^^ These are classic, just classic!!!!

  Here's my captions for the above:

  1.) "Am I going to be a virgin my entire life? Why don't pioneer sisters dig my 'stache and funky shirt? I'm so depressed, but I have to continually put on this new personality shit-eating grin. Kill me now Jehovah, for my soul is already dead."

  2.) "Oh how I long to suckle upon the breasts of young Sister Bigtits, but alas, I can't bring myself out as a Lesbian to her for fear of being shunned by my entire family."

  3.) "Oh my God, you're a total bitch? I'M a total stuck-up bitch too! Let's get together in Service soon and totally tear up all the less fortunate ugly sisters who's husbands were dumb enough not to go to college and have good jobs and drive old beaters. Do you want to take my Mercedes, or would you prefer your BMW?"

  Special Pioneer Couple Living at a Kingdom Hall In Miami FL, get the dreaded Letter

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just got a phone call from an older sister saying that a couple that got re-assigned from bethel 4 years ago to live at their kh apartment as special pioneers, just received a letter saying "as of january 2016, your special pioneer assignment will be discontinued".. they live in a south miami kh(snapper creek congregation).. this couple had only served in bethel for 15 years before they were sent out into the special pioneer work.

  they are now in their mid 50's and the sister said that they have to find part time jobs to support themselves.. the older sister (does not have a pc or internet), says that the couple are just devastated!

  "That's the thing. How bad must things be, if they are so savagely screwing over their best & most loyal?"

  ^^^ This, right here. No matter how much Sam Herd was spinning his web of crap at the AGM, this statement right here rings absolutely true. For GB Member Herd to state they are fine financially is a flat-out LIE. Also, it really begs the question: Where the hell has all of the money gone from the gigantic fleecing of the Congregations this past year? That had to have been hundreds of millions of dollars? Where did it go? Certainly isn't going towards helping out their own Bethel staff, or RBC, Special Pioneers, etc????? So where the hell is it?

  Yeah, so much for "relying on Jehovah". I've seen this my entire life; relying on Jehovah (instead of your own God-given senses) will get you out cold on the street, and none of your fellow Brothers & Sisters will give 2 shits. In fact, they'll turn around and chastise you (kick you while you're down) for being so gullible as to not have gainful employment or backup plan.

  grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.

  i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.

  my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.

  3 years ago you say? Gather yourself up, go back to that talent agency and musical figure, and tell them what happened. Tell them you are a victim of being born into a highly controlling CULT, and that 3 years ago you didn't have the strength to pull yourself out of it. Then, beg their forgiveness and ask them if they'd consider giving you a second chance. If you were any good at all, they will do so. Then pack your bags, and get on with your life. Get busy living, or get busy dying. The choice is YOURS. Do it right now, and don't look back. If you don't, you'll always be looking back thinking, "What if?"

  I am 36. From the age of 17 to 24, I would have fit in with this old group of old "inactive but believers." However, once I started truly diving into the FACTS of the matter on the internet, it was all over. I believed, (always had questions/doubts) but I was completely inactive and lived how I chose. I never got baptized either, as I knew that was a total trap. Jesus was 30, so no hurry!
  

  The attitude of "to hell with this sh*t, I'm not living my life like this," is not new to the newer teenage "Facebook Generation." Not at all. In the 1990's, my generation was totally FED UP with the over-the-top rules about dating, no education, no extra-circular activities, and being made a laughing stock out of at school. 95% of the JW's I grew up with, LEFT - permanently - never to return. What evidence can I site to prove my statement? Why, the WT's own literature and talks that's what! The complete lack of male "servents" from my age group is astounding. There practically are none. You've got 50-60-70+ yr old guys as MS and Elders, with no new blood in site! WT management is practically BEGGING for "qualified males" to "reach out" and take the reigns of MS and Elder positions. But I ask you, whom is there to do so? Crickets are chirping. Even the few left, don't want it due to time constraints, family, and working that janitorial job hard to make ends meet. They saw how their own fathers were never around and worked nearly to death, and many Elder's sons I knew will NEVER become Elders. In fact, 95% of the Elder's kids - LEFT!
  

  The newer "Facebook Generation" is even more quick to say, "To hell with this sh*t", and then "unfriend" the entire religion at the drop of "give us your ice cream money, and don't look on the internet!" then ever before. As for the older ones I knew as a child, including my own grandparents and parents? They all passed away, never having seen the Great Tribulation they all drooled over. I can't even go back to them and ask, "What were you thinking, following these men? Did you research the history of this cult at ALL?" Really upsets me sometimes.

  Old joke from "The Breakfast Club."

  "So, I told my psychologist that I'm a nymphomaniac."

  "Oh, what did he did?"

  "He nailed me."
