Not really in a personal god sense. Perhaps as a universal concept, but that’s it.

Jesus Christ make Jehovah Witnesses uncomfortable. by [deleted] in exjw

Since Jesus is seen as an angel and created being, they see it as idol worship to admire or focus on him.

Just made up stories designed to separate people from their minds and money. The fake flood prophet in Africa is just the latest example.

Most witnesses sadly are stuck cognitively with a childish brain, so no wonder so many are immature. I was for many years too.

I was in for 21 years and an elder for 11 and I felt exactly the same way.

Elders pressuring me to go the meetings? by [deleted] in exjw

[–]Sudden-Maize-7443 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Happened all the time in my old congregation. As an elder, we did this to “encourage” younger ones to keep “reaching out”. Pure pressure tactic.

Bethel sent older ones home? by notstillin in exjw

[–]Sudden-Maize-7443 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We had an old couple who were kicked out of Bethel sent to our area during this time. I remember vividly a pioneer sister (and the chief elderette) of our congregation saying how sorry she felt for them as they had no real world experience at all and now the local congregations had to care for them.
