is coming and the elder wanted to set up a visit.
it's not like i wasn't warned.
there was a thread that talked about the push to call on inactive ones.. thanks to the heads up here, i knew the motive for the call.. i don't think i even know that eld.
He called me at work and left a message for me to call him back.
He asked me to call him and let him know.
.
Don't give him any power or authority over you. You don't have to call him back. Only answer the phone again if he calls you at work. Then answer and really tell him off how rude and inappropriate it is for him to call you at your work. One easy way to rid yourself of JW elder intrusion is to have a reason to tell them off really good and act like they have really offended you.
oh my... from their jw.org site:.
no, jehovahs witnesses are not a cult.. .
nice rebuttal to the question.
Has there been any religion accused of being a cult that has admitted to being cult?
Seriously.....how many people have left the JW religion and now call it a cult? If it looks like a cult, sounds like a cult, and acts like a cult.....guess what people? It's a cult! No amount of clean cut JW appearance and slick words from their website is going to change the fact that the things you see, hear about, and the things JW's do & believe show the religion to be a cult.
in reality, they are pretty insignificant..
JW's have no clue how non-important their religion is in the world. Now that I have been out of the cult for many years people only mention them if the subject of a nutty religion comes up.
the other ladies are probably JW tourists getting their photo taken in front of the literature cart to show the folks back home.
.
Maybe the tourists thought it was Michelle Obama. LOL
how much did your congregation and its bank account get taken for?
share your horror story!.
I am sure getting that last rusty nickel will be the focus of the CO visits. Is all I can say is: good luck with that. You couldn't pay me enough to take that job.
.
LOL.....the CO now becomes the Tax Collector.
some have wondered if "captives of a concept" had anything to do with why the governing body changed their interpretation of the most important scripture in their theology at their annual meeting on october 6, 2012.. this is because the book places great emphasis on the societys interpretation of matthew 24:45-47 and then holds them to it while examining the organizations history to make sure that went on in its history fits their interpretation.
this comparison is essential to the societys claim to being gods organization.. their previous interpretation came from their former most imminent bible scholar president frederick franzs in his "gods kingdom of a thousand years has approached.
" their history comes from their "jehovahs witnesses proclaimers of gods kingdom.".
I'm only guessing, but I have a feeling this change was made as some kind of legal manuver over the pedophile lawsuits.

I think many elders probably know that if they fall for this scam, then when a major repair cost is needed at the KH the Watchtower will act like a slum lord and not want to pay for it. At that point the extra cost will be back onto the congregation. Many congregations have probably already hid money away from their "Mother". LOL
I don't know what it is, but the sight of those witnessing trolley carts infuriates me. LOL

The JW religion is very self-centered and really has no feelings towards anyone not their own. How many charities does the JW religion run? None.
This was all about theocratic warfare and lying to gain enough time to get the foundation poured. Legally no doubt the JW's are in the right, but morally....they could care less what "dead people walking" think. From the looks of the size of that lot I'm sure a compromise could have been reached. However, the JW's are only about their rights. That should be a fun territory to work now. LOL
The guy should build a hideous watchtower in his backyard to view the mountains from.
which would the watchtower choose if it came down to this in the united states or europe?
losing tax free status would mean losing millions of dollars.
ending shunning means people would leave by the boatloads.
If the Watchtower ends shunning they lose control of information the R&F is exposed to.....NOT going to happen.
