!i got into the jdubs history,lies ,changing doctrine,mental abuse,beth sarim,thier monitary holdings,thier guilt and scare tactics,thier exploitation of children,and ovwerall craziness that is the wtbts.i also kept calling it "the publishing company from brooklyn.

"i topld her i have no belief in that religion,and that i'm here for her if she needs help dealing with this.i don't know if it did harm or good,but she i feel it needed to be done.. .

There is so much anger in us that at times it has to come out. Your sisters will think about what you said and who knows they may see it too.

It was surreal. Your impressions of the "Monthly Awake!" service meeting?

by ezekiel3 in

at our service meeting the conductor of "more emphasis on the bible!

" (the march kingdom ministry article discussing the monthly awake!

) routinely asked the questions, comments were read from the paragraph and there was a rediculous emphasis on the scriptures cited, even to the point that wt references were given that had nothing to do with the subject.

I was amazed at the comments.

Many commented that this is a sign of the urgency of the times. That the society is preparing us for what is to come.

In other words the dubs are viewing this as indication that the end is just around that corner.

I wanted to puke

There is no set amount asked BUT you will be expected to give. Giving financially is encouraged and part of the worship.
