  Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation

  by Mary in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

  the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.

  1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

  Around 65% in our cong uses them. Thank goodness my calligraphy and doodling skills during the meetings have improved.

  Paranoia of today's WT study!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the wt study for sept 7th just breeds such a spirit of paranoia!.

  using old biblical references just so as to prevent anyone from using critical thinking skills and analysing the "truth".. then using incorrect, leading reasoning to paint any who "think outside of the box" of the org as "apostate".... pure manipulation!.

  So this was the topic last Sunday?

  I'm glad I changed my mind at the last minute, put on my pants and stepped out of the house to go shopping instead.

  Today's WT study! So hypocritical!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so today's study is all about being kindly, and not judgemental to those in the congregation....we don't know their circumstances etc.... i can't believe the hypocrisy being spewed out...both in the article and by means of the answers from the audience!.

  we know the reality is so different!

  unless a witness does everything exactly as the gb directs...in every aspects of life, they are effectively no longer a good person, but are viewed as spiritually lacking or weak..... they are going directly beyond the biblical directives, and being ones who condemn, rather than ones who commend!.

  Oh please..... I hope those who are still "studying" read this:

  Life inside the congregation is different.

  The GB encourages "kindness" but soon after the "study" is over, the weak people are still weak. The pioneers and above still lord it over them.

  Just today I saw several profile photo changes of some people in my congregation on my FB timeline.

  I thought it wasn't going to happen... BUT, fool me. I overestimated their rational capabilities.

  There seems to be no hope. Just wanna bury my head in the sand.
