New Resolution?

by NikL in

jw
friends

had our midweek meeting last night.

they had a resolution to send an extra (i wanna say $1100 but i only remember it was at least $1000) per month to forward the kingdom preaching work etc.. you know how they work in the kh...no one votes against anything.

i abstained as i almost have always done.

WingCommander

Know what I'd like to see? The Branch actually send some money BACK to local congregations to help with the needy, poor, elderly, & sick. You know, like a fine Shepherd should be doing? Like the "Charity" they constantly profess to be?

Ha! Hahahahaha! Like THAT will ever happen! This corporation is such a money-grubbing parasite upon it's members that it's not even funny. Yet NO ONE seems to notice! Everyone is too brain dead and programmed to OBEY all direction, no matter how illogical from a human standpoint. What a farce and total racket they've got going.

Copy of Crisis of Conscience for Sale

by Village Idiot in

i’ve run into hard financial times and have decided to sell my second copy of coc for a fair price.

you’ll find them on amazon for ridiculous prices starting from $59.84 for a beat up used one to $294.96 and up for a new condition copy.

i’m selling mine in new condition for $50.00 plus shipping which should not be more than $5.

I feel ya. I put my copies of COC and ISOCF up on ebay for $90 each. They both sold in under a month. They were in mint condition. My mom had bought them, read them, and gave them to me. I read them. They sat on a shelf for 10 years. I needed the money, and figured someone else should benefit from their insights, so hence sold them and hopefully the next person will do the same after finished reading them. Keep them in rotation. They don't do any good collecting dust.

My mom contacted me last night...

by HereIgo in

as i have revealed in other threads my mother and i havent talked in over 2 years.

she has been keeping her distance, therefore staying loyal to jehovah.

she found me on facebook.

It's not about "putting Jehovah to the test", as the Organization doesn't equate to Jehovah. It's the Organization that needs put to the test, just as the Apostle Paul praised the Boreans for doing.

@ Vidiot: No, I don't. Hey, these people show up at MY home unannounced, professing to have absolute "Truth", which is an insulting, condescending way claiming the householder believe in "lies." Guess what? They'll get a whole load of actual "Truth", right back from me!!!

yes, it's true, geoffrey jackson, the cleverest member of the governing body, is going apostate.. he's already written two scholarly books, the question is .... when is his third book going to be released!!.....

desirousofchange: "faded" is definitely only an "apostate" term.

i don't know of it being used by wt publications or "in the dark" jwsberrygerry: geoff jackson used it during the arc..

WingCommander

Hasn't Jackson heard? "It's better to burn out, than to faaaaaade awaaay!"

Canada Bethel (Georgetown) to begin renovations early 2017

by Richard_I in

jw
friends

a letter was just read at my midweek meeting that georgetown (canada bethel) will have renovations done on it beginning spring 2017. the letter asked for publishers who are electricians/plumbers/etc.

and in good standing to apply to help out.

those helping out will be considered "part-time commuters" and will only be at the property for about 3 days a week and must reside outside of bethel and pay for all their own expenses.

WingCommander

What a racket these assholes have going on. "Hey! Come work for us for FREE, so that we can sell off the property and make profit off your hard work, and oh golly gee, pay your own way and for own expenses. Must be able to tolerate emotional abuse."

Where do I sign up???

My last door knock from a JW was about 9 years ago. It happened to be a nice lady who's daughter I grew up with. The daughter got a "worldly" boyfriend at age 19. She was promptly DF'd. She married him. They'd been married 10 years. I point blank asked this mother how shunning her own daughter for 10 years for doing nothing except being a normal human being desiring love and affection, was working out for her? I also asked her why we were standing there, as I was promised as a young child that I wouldn't grow old in this System of Things, have a job, a car, a mortgage, children? I said, "It's 2009, and I have ALL of those things, so doesn't that make the WT liars and false prophets?" All I got back was her eyes on the ground, a dejected look, and stunned silence. She looked haggard. I felt sorry for her.

The cleaning bug

by Steel in

i have a wife that literally cleans the house 24 7. it's hard on our marriage, our son has no natural affection for her.

if we go to an assembly she literally spends two days waxing and polishing the car.

she hand washes all the clothes before go into the washing machine because no machine could ever do as good a job as her.

WingCommander

I clean my house, cars, etc as well. My wife does the laundry and a little dusting. It truly is from my JW up-bringing. I also can't stand to see things out of order. It's a form of OCD, I have no doubt about it.

As for your wife hand washing the clothes before she puts them into the washing machine, well that's a whole other level of "sick". She has an extreme form of OCD, and you should seek therapy and treatment for her immediately. Constant 24/7 cleaning like that (not merely picking up around the house) is also symptom of extreme OCD behaviour. Seek out help for her ASAP.

How about prayers being used as a talk?

by NikL in

jw
friends

another thread on here made me think of it.. its a personal peeve of mine.. you bow your head in prayer and the brother says thinks like thank you for the lessons we learned today like bla bla bla and for that wonderful point about yadda yadda yadda.

jehovah we know that etc etc etc therefore we must...well you get the gist.and on and on it goes.

absolutely drives me mad..

WingCommander

I've felt that way for a loooooooong time. As a child, it was torture, pure torture, to have to sit thru DAYS of boredom at a hot DC in a venue like The Vet, only to be treated to a 10-minute unending prayer on the last day. Pure torture. What, you're gonna get more everlasting life cause you laid it on thick to the man in charge at some DC in 1983? Sure.
