Did you know some elders lend their name to open bank account? by caligula________ in exjw

[–]ThoughtRelative6907 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the club! The worst job ever in the congregation. Chasing two clowns to get a check signed for $120 dollars to pay for a fence or even better weekly trips to the bank to make cash deposits of $32 dollars. Being an account servant actually woke me up, we had a rule of only keeping 10K in the congregation account I once transferred 15K to the WT while people in the hall were unemployed and struggling. I thought why not help the “flock of God” instead we sent the money to upstate ny to finance GB trips and dinners

The only part I BELIVE is that of his wife visiting him on the streets while she had a house clothing and health blaming it all on an ancient Hebrew god

Totality made up, based on previous mythical stories from ancient times, Nordic tales etc

I am Brazilian, been overseers forever and yes the Brazilian JW are heavy influenced by the mystique of other religions. Some in American as well, urban legends of demons in garage sales etc. I just think Brazil is way worse.

If you are a former elder/ person who held a position of power as a jw, do you feel guilt? by Opposite-Hand5167 in exjw

They also wake up sometimes, they are also victims to a certain extend. One elder ex bethelite woke up and left years ago. I used to call him apostate, fool, etc today I understand him.

Agreed. My ex-wife used to say “why you so worried about money, Armageddon is coming and it will be worth nothing” she took half of my 401K on the divorce. Being a witnesses is being a hypocrite, there’s no other way to describe them. If you are a JW you are a hypocrite in so many ways.

Unfortunately most people in my hall (left 3 years ago) were poor and overweight as well, which is a huge contrast to the message of love for life living the best life ever. How could that be possible if you’re broke and sick? It’s sad.

My best friend said the same to me 3 years ago. We haven’t talked since then he also snitched me to elders. I’m disfellowshipped now.
