Could it be that Jehovah is punishing me for leaving his religion?

by Julia Orwell in

i know it's a completely absurd thing to say, but something happened to me today that triggered the old cult reaction.

my mind instantly lapsed back into that of a jw and for a split second i thought that because i wasn't doing jehovah things that jehovah's blessing had been removed from me and this is why my life seems to be running into so many dead-ends.

as a jw i attributed anything good happening to me to being the result of my being a good jw and dutifully doing everything the borg teaches.

(Proverbs 22:29) Have you beheld a man skillful in his work? Before kings is where he will station himself; he will not station himself before commonplace men.

God's will is, that you are skillful in your work. Means, you have to learn, learn, learn (school or study).

Only men don't want, that you are so skillful (perfect) in your work - that you could "stand in front of kings".

Who is teaching "don't study to be the best in your job?"

So - NOT God is punishing you.

I wish you the best - to get a new job.

i find it fascinating to see how quickly the society has about faced on the use of the internet.

interestingly they still have not adopted two way communication channels such as facebook, twitter, instagram.

etc.. if you are lurking....why do you think that is?

Name Some Things That JWs Look Down Upon That Normal People Wouldn't Even Think About?

by minimus in

jw

jws look down on others for saying, "bless you" if someone sneezes.

it has something to do with the demons.

another example is that it is considered satanic if a man took his hat off for a lady!

Pets aren't people, says speaker at Regional Convention. Fido and Mimi better watch out! And instead of drinking wine or beer go do some gardening or play golf.

by oppostate in

a big discussion driving back from the regional convention about what exactly was meant about pets.. the warning was obvious to me.

don't get pets, they cost time and money and you would do better to spend your time and money supporting the organization and going in field service.. as to the wine and beer, because the bro during his soliloquy admitted that the first thing he would like to do is relax after a hectic day at work with a glass of wine or beer, his conscience was traumatized.

however he came up with a perfect idea, he'd go tend the garden (obviously a solution for a married bro) or hit some golfballs at the driving range (maybe he's not married).. maybe jesus should have told the wine guzzlers at cana to sober up and go till the fields.. .

*** g89 6/8 p. 19 Can You Really Care for a Pet? ***Cats and Dogs—And You
Not all adults consider the consequences of accepting another “member” into the family. They do not always foresee the inconveniences and responsibilities that a pet can bring. This may especially be true of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who lead such busy lives in their Christian ministry and are often away attending meetings and Christian conventions. Then the problem of finding someone to care for the pet arises. Certainly, it would not be appropriate to miss Christian activities because of an overly sentimental attachment to animals.—Hebrews 10:24, 25.

@ kaik: true words.

@ cofty

you wrote: " I am disppointed by some of the negativity in this thread. Yes it's awful and amateur and cheesy but its a bunch of oppressed people trying to have some fun..."

It ist OK to have fun.

I am disappointed, that this kind of event is ONLY for "rich" delegates during there visit. Why it is not allowed for the regular kingdom hall JWs who have no money to be a delegate? Why must the normal kingdom hall JWs rent a wordly hall to have a nice get together? If every kingdom hall all over the world can have such a nice happening every year - nobody here would be disappointed.
