An elder, Chief MD in Honolulu clinic goes door to door. Testimony given at JW convention

by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.pressreader.com/usa/honolulu-star-advertiser/20150725/281848642300889/textview.

it sounds to me like he was a jw before he became a physician.

"kalauawa, who became a jw 31 years ago, said he had to overcome a major conflict between his religious and professional beliefs, because jws are opposed to blood transfusions.

There are always double standards in this organization. Why was it ok for this guy to go to medical school? Did he come from a wealthy family? I would bet that he came from a higher socio-economic status......lets face it , the rich get away with much more in this organization.

JW Hatred and Elders Apathetic Manners Drove Me Here! Why are JWs fooled in to thinking the WTS Cares?

by Judas Maccabee in

for years i've been screwed with by some very bad people, people satan would kick out of his organization because even the devil might let up on evil just to allow someone to catch their breath.

with the jwism's bad people move up while good people move down or leave the kingdom hall for good.

i was talking with two elders who said "you know if you return to the kingdom hall, jehovah will bless you and these people will stop screwing with you.

Welcome Judas Maccabee!!!!

From what you write, it actually sounds that you have a number of positives on your side. You don't have children and your family is behind you. This is huge. In the event that you decide to completely cut off ties, you already have a support system in place and sounds like you are talented and have many skills.

Having said this, if you feel your marriage is worth saving, then I would encourage you to be a little patient...who knows she may come around. I know I did! Hubby figured things out long before I did and kept these to himself for a number of years. Now we are both on the same path.

Please continue to post and share your experiences with us.

Do you remember the 15 minute break at the Sun. meeting?

by 3rdgen in

a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.

break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.

the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.

Ok so I am dating myself. But I do remember them too. It was great for the kids.

JW Broadcasting is dying.

by John Aquila in

once a month about 15 to 20 elderly jw publishers would meet at the kingdom hall and one elder was assigned to set up the system so they could view jw broadcasting.

these publishers were long time pioneers, former elders, and long time publishers who know nothing about computers or the internet.

they are the last batch of those expecting the generation that saw 1914 or understood it--- to not die off.

They tried showing the broadcast here on Saturday's , but quit because noone was showing up.

so fisherperson sent me a pm asking a bunch of questions re my time at beth hell.

rather than respond in a pm i will post the q/a here as i have nothing to hide.

q:what years did you serve in brooklyn bethel?

Through all the comments in this thread, I must say I've read because I too love the Bethel experiences. I wish I had some experiences from Bethel. But being a sister and all, I wasn't allowed to go.

My one and only experience from Bethel was when I was visiting someone there, and this person made me a tuna sandwich from tuna and bread from the commissary. The thing was unedible just about chocked and almost needed a Heimlech maneuver.

DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#2

by Amazing in

jw
friends

deceptive jw elders case#2 .

appointing spiritually qualified men to take the lead and serve as elders and overseers has been a feature of watch tower congregational organization since about 1972. jws were told in talks at conventions, in literature, and finally in the two versions of the organization book that the biblical criteria is used when elders meet to consider some men for appointment as an elder.

jws are also told that these qualified men are already appointed first by holy spirit, and then as the congregation is lead by that spirit to recognize them, the elders meeting is a confirmation of what god has done.

thank you for resuscitating this thread. Amazing was one of the first posters that made an impact on me . The last time I heard of him, his health was not the best. This about about 6-8 years ago.
