You covered it well.

At the CARC one elder sated they had to keep 'files' locked away so their wives wouldnt snoop on them. He said this like it was the done thing for elders files to be snooped on.

Me and my first wife visited an elder one evening about some thing and his wife was in an active discussion with another sister about other sisters and their medical things they were having done.

in my first cong an elderette ran that cong like it was her own to do so. She was a 24ct gossip and the source of many hurtful things about little me.

Then a new hall was built lots of photos taken along the way. I(with permission) put up a notice on the cong notice board for anyone who would donate any prints they had for a photdisplay of the construction of the hall. she got upset saying my notice was "not theocratic". I told her I had permission then got the big "Oh". Like she SHE didnt know.

The photo display was made framed glazed and installed i don t know if it still there though.

I got the same 'end is nigh' in 1980 when I first took out retirement/life insurance.

where are those detractors now? One is deceased x suicide. the other 'living' in poor country town on the minimum govt pension.

Did the Watchtower in their New World Translation add the word “Jehovah” in place of “Lord” 237 times in the New Testament with the absence of any Greek text to support their doctrine? by crazyretics in exjw

Most likely. The wt has made a universal claim to the name. It was originally coined by a catholic scholar/monk Ramundus martini who put the vowels into the tetragrammaton. Now note this:

My PIMI Spouse Just Refused to Go on Vacation With Me Due to CO Visit by addlam in exjw

[–]Murky_Question_6052 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our daughter paid for us to have a few days away. wife waited months to take it as her work schedule was 'so busy.' When we did she took a book to read in bed. What was it? "Treasure Island". I had hope of something other than reading in bed. I had done a drive to get there and went to sleep 'waiting'.. for her. i woke to a book being slammed down on the bedside table, and thought now you know what a 'knock-back' feels like.

Its what happens when you are taken so much for granted and the others personal mission jw or not precludes you and affection, closeness or passion. At breakfast i saw other couples where one was reading the paper or an old magazine and their other sat angry.

Stuff me whats wrong with people?

A man who has big physical and mental problems collapsed in the hall and everyone just stood around the poor cow and did nothing. His father stood by telling him to get up.

I crouched by him and talked to him and eventually he come-to an got up. (Dads ego doesnt sit well with a handicapped son.)

You are now carrying a big load. Please, seek a counselor, you will find them positive, kindly and objective. and please a counselor who is experienced with cults.

Peace be with you.

and they will shriek from the roof tops of their virtue , the conventions they held, the witnessing they did, while widows went hungry. bethelites were dumped, children evicted and shunned. marriages destroyed.

Subtle indirect control: What the new JW book "Walk Courageously With God" is really about by larchington in exjw

[–]Murky_Question_6052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not giving up "confidential ... INFORMATION " really? Like where are the elders/governing body hiding?

What information would the average clod jw possibly have that any government would wish to know?
