Hello Sosoconfused:
Isn't it interesting that the JWS are the ones losing out. That is the ones that have to scrimp and save all year long just to make ends meat.
I'll never understand why the WTS lets it's members almost starving go without when they keep on raking in the money and properties.
Oh yeah it's because they don't give a hoot about any of it's members, because their greedy and money hungry. I feel for the non rich
JWS I know because I use to be one of them.
this time i mean it.. thanks for all the ones that love me .
i am getting off the site after all these years.. anghard & simon .
but of late.
Hello Mouthy:
I'm a little late to the gate. Sorry to hear your going to leave. I hope you have a change of heart because we all need you. Your such an asset to JWN.
Please change your mind. I'm new here and I need you too.
Love Adventurousone
i would suggest they are built on 3 legs:.
1- print publications.
2 - real estate.
Love the chart it explains it well. No legs here, thats good.
people going door to door uninvited should be required to get a licence and sercurity check if they are going door to door and required to show it on demand while engaged in the door to door work.. after all it is a perfect stranger for the most part who could be an imposter or maybe even a violent criminal or rapist.
no one convicted of sexual molestation or violent crimes should be given a permit.
an added benifit would be less people knocking on your door trying to sell you something be it a vaacum cleaner or armegeddon life insurance protection.. what is your opinon?.
Hello Frankiespeakin:
I agree I think they should make it manditory to atleast have an identification of some sort. There are to many wackos out there.
hi there, this is my first post, but i've been buzzing around this site for years.. i got married at 18, hubby was 20, i was a regular pioneer and we were talking about serving in bethel.
fast forward - i left in 2004 after a 5 year battle with my conscience, family and friends who kept insisting that i was just "weak and needed to have another bible study".
however hubby and i stayed together although it was kinda on the understanding that we would just not talk about it.
Welcome Bornfree:
By the way good name. I like the point brought out about your children. Please don't talk bad about their dad in front of them.
They will see for themselves what he is like, time will tell. Thats important because they can turn on you if your not careful.
I went through a divorce when I was younger, and I never talked bad about their dad. And guess what they saw for themselves.
So if anything please listen to this if you don't want to turn out to be the bad guy.
me: one, my husband, so far.
if we all snatch one person from the borg, will our numbers grow exponentially?
i'm no mathematician.. how many have you personally helped?.
Hi Julia:
I'm working on 2 JWS in my old cong. We'll see what happens because I know I've planted some seeds of doubt.
how does this work out?
does the christian wife now go along to show respect to her husband, in celebrating holidays, voting, where does she draw the line?.
Quarterback Hello:
I guess she wants her cake and eat it too. Maybe he'll get her out of the borg. Time will tell.
so i was randomly watching a show on investigation discovery today - the show was called killer next door, and the episode was called murder without motive.. the show is a french-canadian program that has been translated into english, and this particular episode had to do with a homicide that took place in ste-croix-de-lotbiniere, near quebec city, in november 1999 of a young man named victor lemay.. the confessed murderer was his friend, andre roy, then aged 22.. in the year or so that preceded the murder, andre roy had been disfellowshipped from the jws and had, as a result, been kicked out of his parents' home.
he had no social support outside of the jws and had to start making new friends.
the psychologists on the program felt very strongly that the shunning he experienced by the jws in general, and his family in particular, contributed to increasing rage, and that his friend, victor, became a convenient outlet for his rage.
Hello Scully:
What an enlightening article this was. It's sad to hear this, but like what was said by Flipper, we don't know how many suicides have
taken place because of being disfellowshipped. Sure would like to know the answer to that question? SAD SAD SAD no matter how
you look at it.
i know i have seen topics on here stating what the questions are for a jc meeting that the elders ask, but i can't find them.. can someone please tell me what those questions are or provide a link to the topic?.
i know one of them is something like "do you believe that this is god's spirit directed organization?".
{editted to add} if you are a suspected apostate what are the questions they ask you?.
Hello Gojira:
I'm not sure what the questions are because I never gave the elders a chance to talk to me. I just sent them a letter to DA me from the Org.
So to each their own way of doing things> I just did it that way because I didn't want anymore dealings with them. So you do whats best for you.
We send our love your way. Take care of yourself.
Adventurousone
i stopped going to meetings over a year ago!
yay...me!!
it was the body of elders that led me to my disgust with the org.
Hello SittingStraight:
Sorry I'm a little late to the gate, but I wanted to welcome you. I really like the points that Iownmylife brings out. Hope you got to use them.
I hope things went as smoothly as possible for you. Well until next round. Wish you well. Take care.
