Going where the "Need is Great"
by OUTLAW inlets go back in time,back to the late 60`s early 70`s..armagedon is coming and the wbts wants it`s members to sell every thing they got and preach in areas where there are few or no dubs..where did the people you know go?..my parents packed up their belongings and went to..the friggin bible belt of b.c..lol!
a good wind storm would knock a few christians out of trees there were so many..a bloody church on every street corner,and every one of them had the truth..so why the bible belt?..there were`nt many dubs there at the time,but most importantly property was cheap.a smart dub could make a killing at real estate,and they did..more money than you could shake a dead donkey at,lol!....my bud`s dad also went where the need was great.the dumb-ass religion broke his family up,his wife being a none believer and all.so where did my buds anointed dad go?..hawaii,lol!
where else would you go to rough it out till armagedon?

Armegeddon -This is how I'm afraid it will go
by berylblue inand i can't shake this.

And I can't shake this.
"Uh, Beryl, you know I'm a god of love. And that's why you are going to have to die. I love my real people so much, that I can't have you around spoiling things for them. You should have gone back to the Kingdom Hall while you had a chance, but you were too busy feeling depressed and worthless. You should have responded to my loving discipline when I disfellowshipped you, but you did not. You were not supposed to "give out" when I corrected you. You were supposed to take it, take the silence, accept the reproof, and come back strong. You did not. It's too late to tell me about your extenuating circumstances. You're going to have to go."
I don't have to speak, for Jehovah knows what I'm thinking.
"Your sin is much, much worse than the man who raped your daughter. He is going to live, for he came to the Kingdom Hall just in time, while you sat around on the internet, voicing your doubts instead of going to the Kingdom Hall to hear my thoughts. If you had read the Watchtower faithfully, you would have realized that I was speaking through the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. You chose to believe a lie rather than believe the truth.""Those persons on the internet, they lied to you. You had the Bible; why didn't you measure what they told you against my word? The bible clearly states that many, many will be destroyed at Armegeddon. You fell for the original lie of Satan's when you believed that there was a chance that if you disobeyed me, despite your good intentions, you would still live. That's what Eve fell for, and you did the same.
"...???...."
"The ones whom you thought treated you and your daughters unlovingly at the Kingdom Hall will live. They, at least, stuck with me. You did not. You did not accept my love, while they did. You were supposed to rise above the ostensible lack of love, but you did not. They did show love to you in that, whenever you had a problem, they encouraged you to come to meetings. You should have listened. As for me, it's too late to ask me to listen to you now."
Okay, everyone, ANALYZE THIS PLEASE. And please don't worry about my feelings. I want to hear it all.
Love,
Beryl

I've said it before and I'll say it again...since it's the only glass of wine I've ever passed up (at the Memorial), I think I'll pass this year.
Do more good to read the NT at home.

I won't know until Thursday
by DanTheMan ini just got off the phone with my hr guy.
he says that they won't have things "wrapped up" until thursday.
my speculation is that my story vs. her story are pretty different, and they are waiting for her to get back so they can ask her some more questions.. this is the most ridiculous thing i have ever been through.

Whether they let me go or not, I will be looking for other employment.
I know it is easy for me to say, but you really don't need to work for an organization which would do this to you. If not this, it will surely be something else. They don't value you. Try to weather this storm and just look for something else. Good luck!

who loves to say "good luck" now that she's not a JW

Why do some of you get so worked up over this, JW's control relies on lack
by Its so simple inpersonal growth.
most people are angry at themselves for not seeing it sooner and they just blame the wtbs.
if it was not them there would be something else that 'filled their need' and would have ensnared them.

Simple; Your 'arguement' is morally bankrupt, as it suggests that cult victims have themselves to blame...
Excellent point. Victims of all sorts, including childhood sexual abuse, hear this all the time from persons who don't have a clue at best, and are cruelly heartless at worst.

JWs and extracurricular activities
by MoeJoJoJo injw children miss out on so much.
i was raised as a jw and there were so many school activities that i wanted to participate in but was not allowed.
i remember my gym teacher encouraging me to go out for soccer, i asked my parents if i could and of course i knew the answer would be no even before i asked.

While I was a JW in good standing, my daughter,an unbaptized publisher, was the undisputed "star" of the drama scene in our area,starting from 11 years old on.
I dared any Witness to tell me I was wrong for letting her particpate in extracurricular activities, considering none of them ever invited her to their activities, and declined to come to the ones I tried to hold.
I am sure they talked among themselves, but no one dared to talk to me about the error of my ways. Most likely, because they knew I was right.
