  The Captive Mind of a former bethalite.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i see years of acute economic crisis ahead for the w.t.

  this is evident with letting go of " volunteer" bethalites throughout the world.

  but my thread is on the consequences to the individual, and the organisation of letting " volunteer" bethalites go.. so what happens to the captive mind of the former bethalite when they are let go from bethel?

  Good post Rebel! Bad reply 'truthseeker100'!

  I'm with you Rebel. Beth-elites gave it their all only to be told; "via con Dios". What an empty feeling being 'dumped'.

  Most of us here were once very 'captive' to the wtbts. Like myself, many here had "privileges" in the borg. It seemed to be such a very worthy pursuit to be "used" in the congregation or to be a Beth-elite.

  Looking back now, we realize what a waste of valuable time spent on doing the bidding of an organization. I resent it and I believe that many of those dumped Beth-elites will also take a more realistic view of the borg knowing that that the were "used" alright!

  Instagram witnessing

  by Thursday in

  sorry if this has been covered, but are they now counting time by linking to their website on instagram accounts of jws?.

  i keep a casual stalk on my niece and nephew on insta, and have found links to all their local jw youth insta accounts, even their parents have accounts, it seems quite acceptable.

  99% of them are private but every single one has a link to the website in their bio and a thing saying "jw" and often a scripture or god reference.

  Golden Age Quotes--You have to see it to believe it.

  question: will husband and wife live together after the resurrection is completed, if both are in harmony with god?.

  answer: the scriptures do not reveal what the relationship of men and women will be after the resurrection is completed.

  the most that we know is that there will be no children born during the last 100 years of the millennium (isa.

  There have been some well authenticated instances in which women have been transformed into men,

  They took all the circuit's money!

  by BackSlider in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  during the assembly they made an announcement about contributions and as always mentioned how expenses outnumbered the contributions so far and we are at a deficit of $6700 or so.

  however, they then said that our money on hand in savings for the circuit was $51,000 and that they voted and will be sending $45,000 of it to the society.

  who voted?

  Our congregation (that I used to attend) has their SAD on Sunday. I'm going with my wife. I like attending the circuit assemblies because of all the people I've known for decades. I'll let you all know if anything is announced regarding money being sent to the borg from the circuit.

  JWs have more good points than bad

  by lsw1961 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  1) many who were on the destructive path have been transformed by their teachings (this includes me who was once vicious, and presumptuous and atheistic).

  2) equal monthly pay to all members of the bethel community regardless of whether they are bc members or sweepers.

  this is something that still remains as an unattainable dream for the world.

  Jw's are not the problem. Most are very nice people. German people were not the problem in the WWII era either. Who gets people radicalized and fanatical?

  Yep---that's the problem!

  2. beliefs

  i haven't yet won the state lottery but i purchased a lottery ticket last night.

  if i win the lottery, it's $150 million.. if i win, my name is publicly announced and of course my picture gets into the news.

  i will probably get df'ed.. however, will the wtbts accept a hefty "donation' from my 'lucky' winnings?

  Ok, for starters, without even much thought, I:

  Learned that you can bang your daughters and still be considered 'righteous'.

  Learned you can bang your neighbor, have her husband killed, and be considered "a man after jehober's own heart".

  Learned you can bold faced lie and be chosen as the father whose 'offspring will bless all nations'.

  Learned 2 people need to 'witness' a child being molested.

  Learned that jehober loves massive animal sacrifices.

  Dang, I have learned a lot!

  Reduce the size of your family!

  the watchtower organization resists the idea that its workforce is comprised of employees.

  instead it promotes the idea that these individuals comprise a family.

  yet recently there is a directive that smacks a totalitarian tendency.

  What causes new light? Embarrassment, unsustainable doctrine, a desire to affirm FDS status or avoid liability??

  ... not that they would ever toot their own horn.

  have you found the holy ones of the supreme one, and are you associating with them?

  They are really a very humble bunch for sure. They refer to themselves as 'The Governing Body' (proper noun) not the governing body (common noun). I started noticing this change back in the 80's. However, they still refer to the (non existent) 1st century as the governing body as a common noun.
