  I've said it before and I'll say it again:

  It's a damn shame how this organization treats its older ones!

  It's ALL about the ratings. People will do and say anything on so-called reality shows just to get ratings. Made-up drama, made-up problems. I tease my wife from time to time. She loves "Real Housewives of Atlanta"!

  Would you have married your spouse if you weren't both JWs?

  ok, i've had some wine, but i'm curious.

  objectively speaking, but for the religion, did you have enough in common with your spouse to have met and married as non believers?

  Ouch. That is a tough and eye-opening question. We probably would not have married each other. If we weren't witnesses, there would have been more choices and more chances to meet other people.

  Gross! Grooming of young brothers in the KH to do more for Jehobadahhh and his organ-nigh-say-shun! I saw it myself.

  so there is this young brother probably 14 or 15 and the elders are already grooming him to do more for jehobadahhh.

  most of the elders in this kh are old like 60+ and sometimes there are not enough brothers to do the mics or sound so you will see a 70 year old elder forced into action.

  almost comical to see a brother who thinks instagram is an email service try to operate the sound system and projector as he plays the wrong song or brings the screen down during a prayer.

  Has anyone noticed the JW movies are trying to normalise their lifestyle?

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  having watched the prodigal son returns movie produced by the organization and a recent mini-clip of a brother in london who is shown jogging and doing normal everyday things while wanting to "reach out" it occurred to me that the organization is trying to normalize their bizarre lifestyle and beliefs for the benefit of non-witnesses.. what do i mean by normalization?

  they try to make the witnesses look like just another christian denomination who are reasonable while their members live and enjoy normal lives that appear to be within the mainstream.. they do this by not mentioning anything to do with higher education, armageddon or the urgency of the end of the world nor is their discussion or mention of the blood issue.

  these are things mentioned often at kingdom halls and in study articles.. watching the prodigal son returns, the family appears to live a normal life, going to meetings and studying.

  In regards to the prodigal son movie, I wish I had a family business to fall back on if I hit rock bottom.

  Did any of us ever enjoy meetings?

  by stephanie61092 in

  this is a legitimate question.

  did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?

  did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?

  I tried to convenience myself that I liked going to the meetings. But I just couldn’t. Once the meeting started, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. Growing up, the best part about the district conventions was that we stayed at a hotel and ate out every night. That was pretty much it. Generally speaking, I hated going to anything that that org promoted.

  so my hubby has been on a bit of a roll about the jdubs, we were talking a lot about them & he said the buzz word he hate's the most is "worldly" why?

  because he say's "with that one word they have condemned (according to their believes) a person as being worthy of nothing but death.

  ".
