other than possibly family members, do you care what happens to those you called "brothers and sisters"?.
The only ones I couldnt care less about are the bastards in the tower who have been sucking their living off the rank and file, threatening them into servitude to support their lazy self righteous asses.
They can all go straight to hell in a handbasket.
i just had a chat with a friend i haven't seen for a while.
he knows we're inactive.
he was trying to encourage us by relating what he heard at the convention, saying "the end is near" and then proceeded to tell me that what stood out the most was how many times the society emphasized "family worship" night at the convention.. it got me thinking, why did they get rid of the book study arrangement in private homes if they're so keen on forcing people to have family worship night?
This reaction on the part of the rank and file only proves succinctly that the R&F WILL RUN LIKE HELL when the gate is opened! They arent being held by ANYTHING. If the Society started having meetings ONLINE OPTIONAL and said...stay home and sit in front of the computer with your family in your jammies with your coffee and slippers brothers, its Jehovahs Way of Simplifying his Arrangement. Do you think for a NANOSECOND there would be an outcry from the FRIENDS that they WANT to put their monkey suits on and dress the kids and go to the hall in the snow???
And do you think they WOULD sit in front of the computer and watch it? HELL NO they wouldnt. This religion is a farce. And it is held together with ONLY the threat of losing your family if you DONT FOLLOW THEIR RULES.
If it werent for the threat of disfellowshipping there would hardly be anyone left in the halls. Absofuckinglutely true.
this is the 4th study article, to be studied christmas week as it happens.
title - "maintaining friendships in a loveless world".
para 2 "today, what a pleasure it is to be associated with a worldwide organization whose members follow the pattern set by first century christians.
All this crap does is turn people against EACH OTHER inside the cage. They start judging and categorizing each other causing divisions and judging and gossiping and paranoia inside the organization itself. Those of us who have left are outside their reach. Now they are turning in on themselves. Does this reflect a world wide brotherhood or a worldwide organization of judges juries and executioners?
They have solidly shot themselves in the foot and continue to do so.
i used to smoke cigarettes.
i quit as i was learning the lies of the watchtower organization.. i used to smoke between 1 and 3 packs a day depending on whether i went drinking or not.. .
i didn't really quit for the religion, but as i was learning it.. i swore to quit when cigarettes got to cost me more than a buck a pack.
I know what the BIBLE says on the subject of alcoholism...and once again the Red Herring is tossed out there... THE JWS DO NOTHING ABOUT THE ALCOHOLICS IN THEIR MIDST!!
this year there seems to be quite a bit of coverage regarding the disctrict convention.
newspapers throughout the us and canada have covered it.
also many tv stations have covered it?
Dont you remember their big campaign strategy? ADVERTISE ADVERTISE ADVERTISE!!! And thats all it is...around the Palm Beach County area, they were advertising their convention as a "survive the end of the world seminar to be held every friday" when the reality was it was the first friday of each week of the convention they were going to have ANYWAY despite whatever the hell the economy was doing this year! BAIT AND SWITCH!! FOOL the public into coming! Luuuuuure them in like a spider in a web.
They sicken me.

Once again...nothing against the rampant alcoholism in the JWs.
some of you have been like family to me.
yet, it's time that i must say good-bye.
my husband and i have chosen to study the scriptures together on two conditions:.
Oh we hate to see our family LEAVE!!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....but we know you need to do what is best for you and your family which is why we were all brought together here to begin with isnt it?
love and hugs darlin

I say if the JWs ban smoking they should also ban ALCOHOL. You can call smoking pharmacaia or whatever it is they label drug use, but being a DRUNK definitely IS in the Bible and THEY DONT DO A DAMN THING about all the ALCOHOLICS in their midst!
And Ren dont you dare say there arent. It was RAMPANT in all the congregations I was in.
I loved that there were NON SMOKING sections in airplanes too...ummmm ok Im in row 12 and nonsmoking starts in row 13???

The WTBTS is a publishing company. It did not start out even being a CHRISTIAN organization but one meant to become the New World Order with people of ALL faiths, including Jews, in it. The WTBTS printed and distributed got money from...their publications. When the united states decided they needed to start paying INCOME TAX on these publications, suddenly it all became "free" on a "donation basis" to avoid paying those taxes. And of course it was pawned off as Jehovahs Will. Nobody was told the truth of the matter.
Just like the WTBTS being a member of the United Nations for ten years...funny how they never mentioned this to the flock and yet continued to villify the UN as the BEAST...when they themselves were sucking from the teat of the beast for all that time.
Deception and destruction with a smile...your WTBTS.
according to a bethel heavy i know rather well,.
ted is paralysed down his right side,.
however his mind and speech remain unaffected.. .
So...the GB is a hydra now? When one of the heads die TWO MORE pop up???
