  Senior Citizens......How does your congregation treat them?

  by crazyblondeb in

  not as good as they use too... but then again they are following the lead of the wts.

  why bother with fellowship when you can plug everyone into the telephone.. one one hand they are pushing fs, on the other they are making so many changes that several of the elderly are getting depressed, especially ever since the may 1, 2007 qfr.

  with the afternoon bs soon yanked, many not allowed to drive at night, and elderships that don't care enough to orchestrate carpools....it is bad..

  so thats what it feels like.. i am not df'ed or da'ed, ... i have just stopped going to meetings.

  my wife is trying to be as active as she can.. so all morning i am out of my regular routine.

  late getting out of bed and late about everything today.. so i leave the house, and before getting to the office, i decide to stop at the mall for a quick, maybe 15 min, walk.. as soon as i get inside, taking my coat off, here is the elder who did everything he could in his power to get me out...and lied...and added to gossip that ran me outta there.. he and his wife spot me .. and turn there heads away and continue on their walk, .. eyes fixed on some thing away from me.. so thats what it feels like.........now i know.

  How many left the JW cult after.....

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the age of 40?.

  seems like a lot have left after 1/2 or 2/3 of a lifetime.

  what accounts for that in your mind, if you left in later middle years or older?.

  The GB as JW celebrities

  by Rubyvixen in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am really,really curious as to how other people back while in the org viewed the gb.

  because my oldest brother (older than me by 14 years!

  ) was first at the watchtower farms and then brooklyn bethel and my uncle is a member of the gb, my mother tended to flaunt these facts and look for every opportunity to go to either place with her bible studies (these terms are so weird to use after all these years lol).

  You know you're a JW when....

  by Preston in

  you know that d.c. isn?t the capital where the president of the united states lives .

  a pioneer isn?t an 1800?s historical figure who traveled the west.

  the majority of books in your parent?s bookshelf have years on them.

  Do some WT phrases make you squirm?

  by jeanniebeanz in

  for me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.

  i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.

  fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.
