  "And many peoples will certainly go and say: “Come, YOU people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah..."

  what a horror.

  instead of there being "more fish in the sea" our marriage mates came from the small and crapy witness pond.

  anyone got burned by going with mr or mrs you will have to do?

  smiddy: ... and now seeing this in Chile and the pathetic excuse the organization makes for condoning it , is nothing short of criminal.

  I must have missed something. What is the excuse they're using to condone it?

  Where was Jesus (or YHWH) when little children needed them?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it is claimed by christians that jesus cares deeply for children, for the gospel says:.

  15now people were even bringing their babies to jesus for him to place his hands on them.

  and when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.

  Well, at least Jesus and Dad were quick to feed a bunch of kids to a bear when they got snarky with an old bald dude. Sometimes swift action is possible.

  Oh the irony! The elder, a car accident, and me....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  oh this is just worth sharing!.

  so , as many know, it has been two years since i have attended any meetings, conventions, etc....nothing...cold turkey.. the hassles and problems the elders threw our way were monumental....so many details i could share, but suffice it to say, we stood firm and kept our dignity and poise and reminded them of "appropriate boundaries ".

  one elder in particular has since spared no effort in ensuring that malicious gossip and slander has been spread so that witnesses have avoided us like the plague!.

  He won't forgive you for it either, because now you have put a knot in his brain and he can't get it out.

  The “boldness” of the GB

  by Hecce in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this topic is related to the one about the relocation of publishers and moving and dissolving congregations.. some of the things that we are seeing now were unthinkable a few years back, examples the closing of the branches, layoff of bethelites and travelling overseers, the grabbing of the congregations funds and many more.

  some of my friends tell me that basically the wt was operating with an early 20th century business model that needed a tune up and that worldly consultants are behind the changes that have been implemented.. nevertheless to put it in hollywood terms, they seem to think that they are on a “mission from god” and that they are “going where no man, has gone before”..

  DOC: I wonder why God was steering them in the wrong direction?

  
  

  It's not the wrong direction. It's just not logical from a human standpoint.

  JW elder on the street I live in.

  by Thisismein1972 in

  2. beliefs

  so just the other day i happened to look out my window to see the cobe and the elder who studied with me on the doors.

  it got me thinking.. i remember one day, during my study that he said he loved me.

  although he meant this as a "brother" it actually sent me into, what i can only describe as shock and alarm!
