Who Buy's Food From the Food Bank? Would the Watchtower Permit This?

by BucketShopBill in

hello everyone on jwn, allow me to introduce some of the qualifed agenices who legally use our services provided by the food bank.

as a fading jw i am trying to find ways to fill up the time i wasted in field circus and try to make this world a better place.

the food bank is used by our judicial system, we get lots of low-level criminals doing community service, every other day i hear "what did you do?

My church has a big container at the back of the church especially for Food Bank donations. We have a list of what items are in particular need. I think it's really good.

Is this a new "This Generation" or not?

by Doug Mason in

first of all i want to express my sincere gratitude to atlantis and his good friends for making this 2014 book available.. ------------.

as i see it, and i am absolutely open to contradiction, the wts appears to be giving another new meaning to this generation.

this time the term means all of his anointed followers, including his immediate disciples.

Governing Body Will Get to Kill Worldly People at Armageddon! Gods Kingdom Rules Quote

by lostnotfound in

so scanning through the gods kingdom rules i found this gem on page 228.. .

"in heaven, the 144,000 corulers with christ will recieve authority to share with jesus in weilding an "iron rod" of destruction against all enemies of gods kingdom.

( rev 2 26,27) then, together with powerful angels, the resurrected anointed ones will follow christ, the warrior king, as he sets out to confront the "vast army" of enemies that is closing in on its prey - jehovahs people.".

Much of the Bible is "symbolical", so you can read many things into these kind of scriptures.

My opinion.

i had not seen much of this even in the chicago area, but in small town bloomington-normal, il (pop.

150,000) i have seen this new tactic for the last two days at a busy train/bus station which is located in the heart of town.

What an absolutely glorious waste of time.

My three days of hell summary - Part Two

by cookiemaster in

okay guys, i wish i could have posted this earlier, but unfortunately, i didn't have the time.

anyway, as i've told you in my previous post, thursday, before reacting the convention site we visited a family of "apostates" from a group which separated itselft from the borg but is still doing the same dumb old shit the borg did many decades ago.

anyway, now let's talk about the convention in itself.

You must be shattered!!!

An evening in a bar sounds like what you really need. Spritual and liquid refreshment!!!

Any examples of the JW's turning their backs on the elderly?

by AlphaMan in

jw
friends

the watchtower religion is a family destroying cult.

i'm sure many of us know of people who gave their lives to the cult then have nothing and get nothing in the form of help from jw's.. i know a man who gave up a very good job with great benefits many years ago because the watchtower had a conflict with his noble occupation.

of course the end was coming very soon so the man took a meager retirement and quit because of the watchtower.

It's disgusting. How the jw's can call themselves Christians is beyond me.

Seriously considering stepping down as Elder

by fader77 in

i have been an elder for 6 years.

it's been the last 2 years or so that i've really seen the hypocrisy, but the ability to know the shenanigans of the society through the body of elders letters has kind of kept me in there.

i'm to the point now that i can't stand the hatred and bitterness that the body of elders has towards myself and my whole family.

Thanks for your story. You sound pretty battle scarred.

I personally would walk away now, while you have your health and sanity.

No time like the present.

Take care of you and your loved ones. Top priority. You owe nothing to the organisation. You gave, they took.

Stuck in JWs are in a toxic relationship

by skeeter1 in

jw
friends

are "stuck in" jws in a toxic relationship?

this past two weeks, i've been realizing that a few of my jw relatives are very toxic people (they fit the description below).

i realized that alot of ex-jws who are stuck dealing with jws may also be in a toxic relationship.

quellycatface

Thanks for that Skeeter. This is exactly my relationship with my JW mother. I just talk to her on the phone now, it's less traumatic.

Been asked to share my experience at church!!

by quellycatface in

jw
friends

my vicar asked me if i and another lady would like to say a few words about our faith journey.. she said my story was a particular powerful one, what with the da'ing and subsequent shunning.

i can also choose a hymn or christian song.. i was thinking of romans 8:38, 39 to highlight the shunning and the other scripture ne of how true christians will be indentified, if they have love among themselves etc.

i need to look that one up exactly.. any ideas for content for further content??.

quellycatface

I'm going to highlight how welcome and relaxed I feel at church.

I can be my true self.

No one demands anything of me; no 100% meeting attendance, study, field service or assemblies.

We do nice stuff and everyone is included, no cliques.

No GB.

Freaking delusional mariage mates..

by Crazyguy in

jw
friends

ok so our dc was last week and we live about an hour and a half away from the meeting site.

so earlier in the year i heard my wife mention something about staying near by in a hotel.

now i'm thinking what the hell in a major city with several people shes going to have to get 2 rooms and the cost is going to be crazy high.

quellycatface

I can kind of see your point. I hate being tapped up for cash right at the last minute - I'm not a bloody bank, I say!!!!

I would go a bit easy on your wife. She's in a cult, remember? Just sit down have a good talk about your situation. Tell her about your feelings and listen to what she has to say. She may have had pressure put on her by her JW mates and elders. Make sure that YOU are her best friend, not the nutters in the KH.

All the best.
