My mother's treatment. Unreal.

i disassociated myself 3 years ago but have never told my mother, as she lives quite a distance from me in the uk.

i've have told her that i no longer go to meetings, neither does my son, who is 16.. i haven't seen her for 3 1/2 years.

i offered to come visit this week but she was incredibly offhand with me and said she couldn't meet with me today as she was on the ministry!!

It's what the cult does. One of my sons told me after I quit going that I don't matter. They are just programmed zombies that only deal with in family and friends at thier hall. When people leave the hall and go to another one just a few minutes away they will hardly even see them again even if they were best friends when at the same hall.

My wife pretty much replaced her mother and father with a older couple at her hall even though her parents are still witnesses yet live a couple thousand miles away.

Its just sick discussing programming.

Meeting Attendance levels

i attended a sunday meeting today after missing a couple due to a bout of chronic apathy.

out of 74 publishers we had a grand total of 33. wonderful.

for those that attend, how are you finding the numbers?.

Crazyguy

There also has to be a lot of older ones that are about to die. This will make the numbers in the USA plummet big time essentially since I believe most older jws die off sooner then the national average to do being poor etc.. The joining of congregations will help to hide these missing ones as well.

Holy mountains in Canaanite myth and the Bible

by Leolaia in

baal's mountain: mount casius

baal's mountain was biblical zaphon, known in ugaritic as sapan, in hittite and hurrian as mount hazzi, in akkadian as ba'lisapuna, in greek and latin as casius (< kasios), and in modern arabic as jebel 'el-aqra', which stands at a height of 5,660 ft. about 25 miles north of ras shamra and 2.5 miles from the coast.

i will climb to the top of thunderclouds, i will rival elyon ('l'wn).

Had to bump this, she always had great information and really did her homework. I've been studying this stuff for a few years now and her insight has really helped because she didn't come at it with just one idea or thought like so many authors of today that write about things like this.

If you really want to know who the god of the Bible is and how he evolved over the centuries, search out her threads and comments on this forum. Also check out all the writings found in the city of Ugarit discovered in 1929.

Ok but what about the second part of the quote, sounds like it's all about the watchtower first then the Bible ?.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me" What bullshit

by fulltimestudent in

matthew 19:14: "let the little children come to me," .

is often used to prove that jesus cares about little children.

pretty images of jesus hugging kids proves nothing, if within the organisation he controls, he does nothing to protect the innocent.. so does jesus care?.

Crazyguy

If the children came he would sell them off as slaves.

Yes "A Believer" and all will live in paradise just like the Egyptians and the Greeks believed . What did the Greeks call it Elysium and the Egyptians called the Field of Reeds. Yep the original idea the Christians and especially JWs have is so, original.

My former congregation has a lot of members and most go. I think it has to do with social reasons more then anything else. Plus the demographics in that congregation are all about the same. Most everyone there is poor , stupid, and a little off mentally, so it's the perfect hall for the cult. It even attracts members from outside the territory in fact I'd say half are not assigned there.

In the other hand the other congregation that shares the hall is clickish and has more of a mix of people and only around 40 people show to a meeting .

I think that poster that says thier studying to try to gain and advantage has hit the nail on the head. They will study if they think they get something in return.

I grew up in an area where there was a lot of refugees from south eastern Asian. My mother studied for a long time with a woman and her family from this area. She was nice but didn't progress. They mentioned how other churches were sponsoring refugees to get them into the USA then helped them get on thier feet expecting these ones to stay in that church with thier family's forever. Since the jws don't help people monetarily they can only dream of getting these people to join.
