Breaking Heart Needs Help

by thankyou in

was happily married many yrs unconditional love till wife went heaven yr n half ago.

3 mos ago sun morn.

when i once asked her if she been abused, cause seems like it, she didn't ans just hung her head.

What more do they need to see?

by stuckinarut2 in

so bethelites are being decreased...bethel homes even sold off.... special pioneers no longer being funded.. magazines getting smaller and published less frequently.. building work stopping or being reduced.. no large conventions and renting of venues.. etc.... so, money is not coming in anymore to cover the "expenses"??.

didnt the first ever watchtower said that when this occurs, it would be evidence of god no longer blessing the activity....

oh, and throughout the years, we have constantly been told that the "growth of the org and the projects such as buildings and contributions" etc were evidence of gods blessing.... .

Satan/Jehovah has been blessing this cult for years, hes the god that created evil and he even likes the smell of Jesus sacrifice the bible even says so.

Taking bets on how long this cult will last and what will happen to it

by macys in

i wanna make a poll here.

how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.

i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.

The internet is killing Christian religion, I saw a video on YouTube where it showed statistics of 4000 plus congregations closing every year. New people that have been born in the last 20 Years mostly arent religious and the number of admitted atheists is approaching 10% in the USA it's already above that in Europe. The Bible has been exposed and people can easily access information online in mere seconds. Collegages are showing movies like Zietgiest. Apostates of this cult who were mostly and unknown group except when the Borg mentioned them are now all over the net. Young ones are not afraid to voice their opinions like the young ones of old.

The numbers of ones joining was as little as 11,000 in the USA their biggest market a couple of years ago. Ones that join in other countries in Africa and Latin America have no money to donate.

But the biggest sign that this cult is in trouble is that they themselves have pulled the plug on their ministry. They no longer pay missionarys to go to other countries, Gilead members are also no longer paid and are most times sent back tobthe area or country they came from. Then theirs the layoff of all their special pioneers. They now know that any profits theyll make off members are going to be from the western world only and only in a hand full of countries.

They are pulling their own plug, now they sit back suck the last members dry and hope that a major event like a major earthquake or asteroid will scare new members in to their arms.

Baptism is it really a dedication to God, where in the Bible?

by Crazyguy in

i haven't found a scripture where it says that baptism is a dedication to god.

i have only found in the book of acts chapter 2 i believe where baptism is for forgiveness of sins.

am i wrong?

Crazyguy

I haven't found a Scripture where it says that Baptism is a dedication to God. I have only found in the book of Acts chapter 2 I believe where baptism is for forgiveness of sins. Am I wrong? Please advise.

If JWs Were More Tolerant Would It Help Their Money Woes?

by minimus in

jw
friends

they don't want you bettering yourself.

they hate college education.they applaud you if you quit full time secular work and instead, "pioneer".

they cry that they have money problems.

Crazyguy

Someone posted a very good documentary on how the internet is killing religion. It stated at the time 4000 Christian congregations we're closing down every year. People are losing faith in God. This religion would have to main stream become very tolerant and very social in a big hurry if they want to survive. I have not seen any of their new videos but from what I have been told their not really doing this.

Something interesting!

by John Aquila in

i was invited to a small get-together by a long time friend.

we both served as elders for years.

he is in his late 70s.

Crazyguy

Slim you have a valid point, it's hard to believe. But it's also hard to believe what's going at bethel too. I'm with the poster that said what's going on at bethel is that they realise they have hit their peak and their not going to commit to any more waste of money. I think now is the time where they plan on just sucking out the last bits of flesh from the victim.

So I was reading over new member Hollywood 20s experience and thinking of using it when I'm going to talk with my son that their trying to get baptized. So that with all the other things through my mind I decided to say some things to him about what's going on with my daughter.

So this is what happening with her. She gets baptized A few years ago about the same time I'm waking up. They of course use this in her onstage coming out deal whatever they call it, where shes talking about how Satan tries to stop your baptism and then say a close family member didn't want me to get baptized. Lie I only wanted her to delay. Any way after she starts getting sick and it gets worse over time. She's been blessed by jah,.j/k.

So we're going to doctor after doctor they all say its just in her head and she continues to get worse really bad. She finally gets diagnosed and a few months later but still no medical help my wife finds out about a potentially curing treatment on the east coast, were on the west.

So we go into action to raise the money that its going to take to get their, the few week treatment and get back. I don't have a lot of money in savings do to another issue draining it but I know I can earn the money. In the mean time the wife takes on some odd jobs and also starts a fund raiser on Facebook and opens up an account at a bank hoping people will help out. So in a few weeks I give her about half the money needed and then my mother finds out about what's going on and decides to donate half of what's needed so now we have the funds and it didnt take as long as i thought it was, Sweet.

But wait, the money she ,my mom, donated even though she's a witness and is family came from a small inheritance that she got from a worldly relative and of course my money again is from family but I'm also and evil unbeliever. So how much did my wife get from all her congregation and all her friends with the fundraising.? Less then 600 and most came from a couple of her close friends and how much did the elders give?, not one red cent. Now I wasn't behind the fund raising idea and was determined to earn all the money myself. She did all that on her own.

I'm sure when they get back if my daughter treatment goes well , they'll say it was a blessing from jah and he also found away to get the money that was needed. Were so blessed.

In the end modern science an educated doctor and worldly peoples money hopefully fix my daughter.
