  Putting on the NEW "New Personality"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  we have often heard about the need to "put on the 'new personality'" as a jw.... but i have realised something in these last few years of awakening to the ttatt...i dont like what i had become as a 'good' jw!.

  i realised that being a 'good' jw made me very:.

  critical of my fellow man,.

  The "new personality" should be shaped by the WTBTS's teachings, doctrines, and interpretations of the bible. Now I know why I'm schizophrenic!

  Another night, another JW dream

  by MrMonroe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  such a ripoff when you dream you're back at the damn meetings.

  i once dreamed a local (rather liberal-minded) elder, jack hoogendoorn, was smoking a cigar while he was giving a talk on the platform.. last night i was back there again: one elder who suddenly decided he was going to be "encouraging" gave me the latest stats on baptisms, while someone else i was meant to go witnessing with was not-so-subtly probing me about how many magazines i'd been placing lately.

  i chose not to tell them i had decided against placing mags any more.

  Looking Back, Are You Embarrassed By Your Attitudes, Speech, Actions as a JW?

  i think of how judgmental we were as witnesses.

  "worldly ones" were almost as bad as disfellowshipped ones but not as bad as "apostates"..

  Very embarrassed! Had to virtually shun my 'worldly' family (cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents). No holidays for my kids. Appointed as an elder in 1972 at 25 yo and had way too much to do considering I had two kids under 5 yo. I was a 'self righteous sh*thead like all young elders were in those days. Like minimus said 'having to counsel families when I was still wet behind the ears". What a joke of a life I led and dragged my family into. Oh well, that's the past!

  All appointed men are being told they have to pioneer now!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  yes, you read correctly..... all appointed men have been told in a new letter that they have to pioneer to "set the lead" whenever there is a "special" campaign month.

  they use some scripture saying that these ones have to show by example.... so for any of us who are appointed and have learned ttatt, it is going to be very hard to fade during this time!.

  Is my clinging on to a belief in a Creator doing me any harm?

  by KateWild in

  i use the word clinging, as i feel that is what i am doing.

  as far as my knowledge of science, namely chemistry is concerned, i am satisfied there is evidence of a creator.

  i am happy to believe this.

  KH cleaning and maintenance will be FS time. Any work at new KH construction sites will be FS time. Preparing "canned" comments for the meetings will be FS time. Rehearsing presentations at home will be FS time. "Necessary" coffee stops will be FS time.

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok, so this weeks study article says the following:.

  14. how has jehovah been the rescuer of his people?.

  14 the psalmist david sang: i am helpless and poor; may jehovah pay attention to me.

  I guess that the 22 brothers and sisters in the Phillipines that died BECAUSE THEY WERE IN A KH during the huge typhoon don't count. WTF were they doing at a meeting when there was a catagory 8 storm bering down on them. No protection at all by being at the KH. The KH was right in the path of the typhoon. Oh well "Listen, Obey, and be Drown"

  Hey the Memorial is the closest thing to ritual that JW's have so they need to be be present as "respectful observers". When Jesus said "keep doing THIS" how many "respectful observers" was he talking too? Yep you got it.
