There is always work to do in Jehovah's organization. I'm glad that it's not me doing that "work"!

by sylvlef inyesterday local needs was this theme.
are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.
at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?

Searcher, the blind ones who are in the pit are not only content to stay in the pit, but they are also digging downwards & making the pit deeper!

How did your family react when you made it known that you did not want to be a JW anymore?

It is totally impossible for me to ever make it known to my family that I do not want to be a JW anymore. The best I can do is to fade, which I am still trying to do. It's not easy when most of the family are die-hard dubs!

Excusing the JW Child Abuse Scandals.
by Phizzy inmy question is prompted by a post of terry's on his own thread about a parable for jw's.
in that post terry shows how the standard jw response to any report of sex abuse within the borg is to use the "no true scotsman" fallacy.. i.e "he was not a real jw".. my question is for some time in the future, when the true, horrendous, extent of abuse within the borg is public knowledge, and the cognitive dissonance grows for jw's about this being endemic in "god's organization" for so long, how will they excuse it, or explain it, then ?.
how will they push away the obvious conclusion that jehovah must have approved of this going on, or he would have rectified it, not left it to the courts to pick up the broken pieces years later ?.

They would simply say that just as there were unrighteous ones in the first century Christian congregations, it is the same today and therefore we cannot expect Jehovah's modern day organization to be perfect!

I once heard this JW arguement:
God DOES NOT kill. Killing is done by those who CANNOT give that life back again. Jehovah does not kill, he simply takes away the lives of people who are disobedient but he has the ability to grant them life & restore life to them again if he wants to!

Zoos, in many cases there IS young blood eager to reach out, but the fault-finding & over-critical elders do not give them a chance. That was what happened in my case, and it had the reverse effect on me. Instead of striving to do more and "reach out", I was discouraged to the point that I began to despise "reaching out." I felt that it was as if the elders were dangling a carrot on the end of a stick in front of me & that I was the donkey wasting effort in trying to reach that carrot. That discouragement led me to discover TTATT & here I am!

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!
by EndofMysteries in.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.
