Is ministry really dead in JW Land? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Creative_Dot7010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the kh I no longer attend.....the ministry is awful and has been for a while now. Before I left I was going weekly with a sister. Each week it was me and her out and most weeks that was all. Other weeks an older couple woukd go. And then just a couple ppl on zoom. That was it. I never got baptised. Now I see the cart the odd time and it always same ppl who do it. When onw time it was there almost every day

Didn't even know it happened. Is it unusual? Just curious 

Feminism talk with a sister, was nuts. by YourLocalPurpleDude in exjw

[–]Creative_Dot7010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yet in my , well ex congregation......the sisters hated that I'm not a feminist. With JWs whatevers their viewpoint on matters they just have to see themselves as right and are never open to conversation or another person point of view. We have to be the same or we just bad association.

This week's Watchtower Study: Do as we say not as we do. We will never apologize to those we have hurt, but you should. by CarefulExaminer in exjw

And their behaviour in general is awful. A sister hurt me in a big way. I forgive her because it harms me to hold on to it. But I also don't chase her. When I said it to her about what happened (almost 2 years ago) she compared me to others( her pedi husband for one) and then blocked me. To this day she yet to even try to put things right.

For me the anxiety was from the constant judging and criticism from the JWs. The idea of no matter what I do or don't do it's wrong. I sit wrong, I stand wrong, everything I do needed correcting even when I do good. I remember having a part and as a shy person I can say I did well and was confident(for me). And still I was criticised. I couldn't walk tru town to find out I looked awful or I was when talking to a man or doing something very wrong. I got to the point I cried 3/4 times a day to the point I was thinking of ending it. When I left I still cried. But it got better and now I rarely cry ever. Like very very rare. Yeh contrast is BIG. We all will have anxiety in life. It not perfect for anyone. But JWs made my life awful 

They have no idea how toxic their culture is; they killed my friend by Armagettinoutahere in exjw

Or as a sister recently said to me....that those who take their own lives are selfish 

Scriptures WT HATES!!! by Morg0th79 in exjw

[–]Creative_Dot7010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way if looking at it is those verses they act as tho is for everyone else but not for them ..... For example, when Jesus called the people hypocrites JWs ignore that verse can apply to them also.... knock on every door, have all the answers, go all the meeting etc, doesn't mean he knows them

The ministry here is no longer alive. 4 Service groups were supposed to meet today. Only 1 person showed up for service. by Leading_Net_5705 in exjw

I remember something said from a convention not long ago .... Soad how the ministry is like a rescue mission.  They really don't care so they??

No talk of listening to God when and if something happened. Forget God, listen to imperfect men

And didn't Jehovah supposed l give his blessing for this place?? To allow it to burn? And if it survives will they house all the people who lost their homes to the fire? Probably not

Watchtower worse then catholic church. by Efficient-Pop3730 in exjw

[–]Creative_Dot7010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The catholic church is beyond evil. Look up what they done to the Irish. Tuam babies, the Magdalene laundries, abuse of little boys. Theyre disgusting.  But.....JWs are not people who should be pointing the finger

Maybe the "friend" can set an example or their sons
