The joke is that as an organisation the JW org practices apostasy on a regular basis.
Precisely! They are in no position to judge others when their sins have massed all the way up to heaven

Do they know what 7.5 billion dead bodies look like?
by jambon1 inin their sick and twisted bubble that they live in, the jehovahs witnesses clearly have no idea about the logistical nightmare of disposing of 7.5 billion corpses.. when i heard an elder once say that it will be a joy to clear away the wicked from the earth, he actually had a smile on his face.. can they even begin to imagine what 7.5 billion dead men, women, children & babies looks like?.
"let the eye feel no sorrow".
sick bastards..

Most of those who JW's believe would be destroyed are INNOCENT. They would be destroyed nonetheless just because they are NOT CONVINCED that JW's have the truth. It is ABSURD to think that a God of LOVE would DESTROY all these innocent people RATHER than find a way to CONVINCE them of truth! Yet that is what JW's believe!

Renounce unrighteousness.—2 Tim. 2:19.
God’s Word gives specific advice concerning the types of unrighteousness that Christians must renounce or reject. For instance, in the immediate context of 2 Timothy 2:19, we find that Paul tells Timothy “not to fight about words” and to “reject empty speeches.” (2 Tim. 2:14, 16, 23) Some members of the congregation were promoting apostate teachings. Today, Jehovah’s people are not often confronted with apostasy within the congregation. Still, when exposed to unscriptural teachings, regardless of the source, we must decisively reject them. It would be unwise to engage in debates with apostates, whether in person, by responding to their blogs, or by any other form of communication. Even when the intention is to help the individual, such conversation would be contrary to the Scriptural direction we are given. Rather, as Jehovah’s people, we completely avoid, yes reject, apostasy. w14 7/15 2:9, 10
10 important points to think about:
1. "Renounce unrighteousness"
If unrighteousness is found WITHIN the Watchtower organization, shouldn't it be equally renounced WITHOUT turning a blind eye and practicing double standards?
2. "God’s Word gives specific advice concerning the types of unrighteousness that Christians must renounce or reject."
An unrighteous book condemning unrighteousness". How ironic! (source: www.evilbible.com)
3. "Paul tells Timothy "not to fight about words" and to "reject empty speeches"
He also belittled women and condoned slavery. Good job, Paul!
4. "Some members of the congregation were promoting apostate teachings"
What kind of stupid God makes truth so vague that it is so easy for "apostate" teachings to spread???
5. "Today, Jehovah’s people are not often confronted with apostasy within the congregation"
Because anyone deemed to be an "apostate" is either quickly silenced or kicked out
6. "Still, when exposed to unscriptural teachings, regardless of the source, we must decisively reject them"
Decisively reject unscriptural teachings would mean rejecting JW's and the Watchtower themselves as they have taught countless unscriptural teachings! (source: www.jwfacts.com)
7. "It would be unwise to engage in debates with apostates, whether in person, by responding to their blogs, or by any other form of communication."
TRUTH should be able to DEFEAT lies, UNLESS you do not have truth! Why be so afraid???
8. "Even when the intention is to help the individual, such conversation would be contrary to the Scriptural direction we are given."
Same point as #6. Why be afraid if you REALLY have truth??? If they have truth, shouldn't they strive as much as possible to "help" the individual INSTEAD of doing the opposite? (imagine the number of hours they can count!)
9. "Rather, as Jehovah’s people, we completely avoid, yes reject, apostasy."
Rather, as a cult, we completely avoid and reject anything contrary to what our cult leaders say. I think that's what they mean
10. Finally, apostasy means a falling away from truth. It can be applied to JW's themselves as it is very obvious that they do NOT have truth! (source: www.jwfacts.com)

Which Org 'directives' did you blatantly ignore
by Tallon ini remember that we were always encouraged to let everyone at work know that you were one of jw's and therefore would not participate in any of their functions, parties etc.. this i outrightly refused to do.
my reasoning was that i was employed and paid to do a job and therefore my religious beliefs were a personal matter and therefore had nothing to do with my work.
secondly i had to work with these people.

slimboyfat:
A successful comedian says younger comedians on their way up approach him and ask his secret of success. He tells them it's two hours of Bible reading every day. He explains that it doesn't stop them completely but it slows them down.
Actually the bible is a great source of inspiration for comedy

Ridiculous ways you kept your "time going" in service?
by HereIgo ini used to go out early mornings with 2 pioneer elders, we would drive 20 miles out of the territory (a big no-no) to look for hikers to preach to lol of course there were never any hikers.
then off to starbucks for another hour lol easy way to count 2-4 hours.
i am chuckling as i write this, what a joke!.

alanv:
Makes you wander how the org can say they spent 2 billion hours in preaching, when they must know that so much of the time was just spent counting time with nothing at all productive. Not to mention most witnesses work in twos, so time spent is actually 1 billion hours
I would say even much LESS than 1 billion hours!

LITS:
I was just told by a CO and local elder that we are volunteers in service and that the CO that told me 10 years ago that I had no chose but to take child molesters DTD was wrong all I would have had to do was say NO!
Funny there is no where that it says this in print.
I love the saying if it's not in writing it didn't happen, which fact I am going to tell them both this weekend.
Err... why would you want to meet with them in the first place?

What's The First "Worldly" Thing You Did When You Exited The Cult?
by pale.emperor inwhen you finally and officially exited the cult, whether it be by disfellowshipping, disassociating or fading - what was the first things you did that are considered "worldly"?.
for me, it was like crash landing on another planet that looked like earth but was completely different to the earth i knew.
i wanted to learn everything that i thought i already knew.. first things i did:.

of David. Ps. 27. -- 4: --was David not encroaching ? was not the house of God, The Tent in his days, reserved for the priests? In the wt world reserved for the "anointed" ?
Well, my understanding is that he was dwelling in the sense that he was there very often...
