To all former Elders – what are your thoughts

by Tallon in

if you were part of a judicial committee, and knowing what you know now, what was it like for you to sit on jc’s?

how did you feel if someone was reproved or df’d?

were you ever on a jc and you disagreed with someone being reproved or df’d and were overruled – how did you feel?

For 20 plus years I was a serious, die hard elder. I worked hard at my elder "job" of setting a good example for family and congregation. Spent way too many hours away from my kids so I could prepare for meeting and talks. Sat in on many jc's but only agreed, reluctantly, to df one person. Because I was a contrarian during jc proceedings, always looking for the reason not to df, I was later on often not selected to be on the jc. praise jah! The endless meetings, after the meeting, really got to me. I could never do enough so I always felt a bit guilty and unfulfilled.

Fortunately I discovered ttatt and ended nearly 60 years of f.o.g. Life is good outside of the borg and at least I get to enjoy my grandchildren!

Whats the problem?

by eyeuse2badub in

like the noah of old, (as described in the bible), are modern day jw’s just poor teachers?

i mean, noah, and i assume his family, preached for decades prior to the “deluge”.

they were “clearly” or “evidently” poor at convincing their contemporaries that a ‘flood’ was a comin’.

The idea that Noah was a "preacher" comes quite erroneously from a scripture in the New Testament and has no basis in the original story.

Mr Negative are you suggesting that the biblical accounts recorded in god's word the holy bible may not be factual and perhaps even exaggerated? Please say it ain't so!

They were “clearly” or “evidently” poor at convincing their contemporaries that a ‘flood’ was a comin’. Not one single solitary convert to show for all them there decades of preachin’. I ask why jehober didn’t bless the “most important work” of that time which was the saving human lives.

I ask the same question today? There is theoretically 8 million jw’s out there preaching (or trying to sell their religion) to others. They are reportedly spending over a billion hours preaching, yet the number of about 8 million jw’s hasn’t grown much for the past 5/6 years. One would think that with 8 million teachers (salespersons) and jehober’s obvious blessing, that the growth would be tremendous.

Poor teachers, poor teachings, or no blessing from jehober?

Do not enjoy life now!

by life is to short in

ok so i was stupid and looked at the text for today, i do not know why i did it.

i lost a couple of brain cells and put myself into an even deeper depression over it.

it was just that my husband had it out and i thought what can it hurt, wondering what they are up to.

eyeuse2badub

I never read the daily text even when I was an elder and fully in. I couldn't believe, even then, the way the borg could take a simple passage from the bible and twist it so that it appeared to apply to them or one of their pet teachings!

How Will Armageddon Begin?

by Cold Steel in

and how long will it last?

and who will come after that, yahweh, as the old testament says or jesus, as the new testament says?

the scriptures say he'll come to the mount of olives, but surely that's a spiritual mount of olives.

The gb are going to get together and let jehober know when and how, soooooooooooon!

Jehovah's Love - or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Death

by undercover in

jw
friends

this idea was inspired by another post i saw (but forget who or where) referencing the mootness of delaying armageddon now that the 1914 generation is gone.

(i just skimmed over the post and thread, and didn't give it much thought until later).

wt doctrine basically says that jehovah, through his undeserved love, allows wickedness so that people can hear, and accept, the 'truth', thus being saved from the destruction of armageddon.

The message should now be among jw's; "Billions now living will shortly die!"

WT “Study” for 11th Sept 2016 – “Why Must We ‘Keep on the Watch’”?

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

i wasn’t making a connection at all.

My old congregation is gone

by cookiemaster in

went to the hall today as i was the designated driver for my parents.

an elder who was in our old congregation in the city gave the talk.

i've had a little chat with him and apparently our old congo is gone.

This trend is all part of "new light"!

The borg used to teach, "build and they will come"!

The adjusted view by the borg is, "sell. for they have gone"!

Sad but so true. Only jehober's witlesses can know which bible verses are literal and which are symbolic or figurative 'cause the goobering body (god's direct link to mankind) tells them.
