  Elder Told A JW To Ignore Governing Body Advice

  by pale.emperor in

  i had an interesting conversation with a fellow ex-jw yesterday.

  for the sake of this post lets call her "katie".

  katie is a former pioneer who suddenly stopped attending meetings and managed to be left alone by the elders.

  Speaking from 20 plus years as 'an elder' and 60 plus years as a jw (faded successfully about 8 years ago), it's fairly common for elders to have little or no respect for their fellow 'elders'. In private, one on one, conversations with several fellow 'elders', who were also friends, we often criticized and scoffed at the sh*t we were "required" to do an believe.

  I'm certain that any reading this post and that have ever served as 'elders' in jw land will agree that all is not well even among those "appointed by holy spirit".

  I never went along with shunning and always expressed concerns about the blood issue.

  Will we ever get the new version of the Bible in Spanish?

  Sorry Doubtfully but jehober only really loves the English speaking dubs. After all, jw's are an American religion. Maybe if the Latins donated more dinero, jehober would influence the weather so Spanish speakers could receive a silver bullet also!

  we are sick with sin and we’re trying to get well, right?

  2. when you hire a coach to get you to the playoffs and win the big game, yet you lose...lose...lose.... do you fire him, or, do you keep him on?

  well, then, how do you explain fred franz being made president after the 1975 fiasco?.

  11. Why is it that we jw's can now accept life saving blood 'fractions', but we CANNOT donate blood so others may receive 'fractions' of our blood?

  New Video “Remember the Wife of Lot” (the "drama" shown at the convention)

  Wouldn't it be a much more interesting video if the borg explained exactly why Lot's wife was (lol) supposedly turned into a pillar of salt for looking back? (wtf) But Lot and and his two slutty daughters were blessed by jehober. Just days after poor old Lot's wife was 'a salted', Lot, (supposedly) gets drunk and bangs both of his daughters (incest to the max). Not only does he get "lucky", he's a sharp shooter because (supposedly) both daughters get pregnant with one shot! What a guy! So, the 'word of god', aka bible, says this about LOT
  

  @ 2 Peter 2:7

  7 and he delivered righteous Lot, who was greatly distressed by the indulgence of the law-defying people in loose conduct

  How much time and money did we waste traveling to meetings alone?

  by longgone in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  quick answer: way too much!.

  this is something that really gets to me, all the way back to my childhood.

  twenty minutes each way, three times a week.

  The money is one thing for sure but the time spent at those bullsh*t meetings is what i regret. In my lifetime so far, doing some rough math, at least 5 meetings per week (plus lots and lots of elder meetings), times 52 weeks in the year times, times 62 years till I discovered ttatt equals 16,120 f**king meetings. Plus getting ready, plus preparation, plus travel time, plus field service, plus family study, plus sheep herding, equals literally years I'll never see again---unless jehober resurrects me--not counting on it!

  Damn it's good to be free and enjoy life now!

  Today's Watchtower; if GB say celebrity adulation is wrong, why do they pose for pics and sign autographs?

  The last time, 2014, I toured Wallkill, the tour guide sister pointed out to all a glass encased shrine containing the used bibles of CT Russell and JF Rutherfart. But of course we adulate them as celebs, or do we?

  Was in Kiev international convention in 1992 at the old soccer stadium. At the convention conclusion a couple of the gb members circled the track waving their hankies to the crowd as everyone stood and applauded--but we don't adulate them as celebs---or do we?

  the wts is to be commended on their timely and prompt response to the jw ban in russia.

  the august wt has an article that features the sivulsky family from russia.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-august-2017/endurance-under-trial/.

  pavel sivulsky' son, yaroslav, is getting a lot of air time lately.

  Yes we can see how jehober is blessing the endurance of "his people" in Russia. It's becoming more and more obvious that jehober loves white, English speaking (especially American) jw's more that others!

  'Praise jah all you people!'

  They Offered Their Son Willingly—To Bethelite Brothers

  by betterdaze in

  they offered themselves willingly—in new yorkricky, a construction project manager in hawaii, was invited to serve as a commuter bethelite to assist with the warwick project.

  his wife, kendra, wanted him to accept the invitation.

  however, they had a legitimate concern: the welfare of their 11-year-old son, jacob.

  Interesting that the wt teaches that jehober doesn't necessarily protect individuals (he protects his organization as a whole from satan) but he definitely disciplines individuals!

  O what a loving god we have! Praise jah all you people!
