  Stupid things JWs say

  by deanxxx in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  ok we all say stupid things (probably on a daily basis in my case) but my mother (a jw) was told by another member that she doesn't have a conscience because anyone who smiles as much as she does simply can't have a conscience.

  i bet you can guess the person who said it to her has a face like a wet weekend.. i guess the reasoning is: if you had a conscience you wouldn't have much to smile about because you'd be overwhelmed with guilt and worry.

  what a load of old bollox that cult is eh?.

  That's a new one on me. Whatever happened to the JW mantra of "Jehovah's happy people?"

  When I was going if you weren't consistently all happy-happy joy-joy you were from Satan.

  venting: My wife is in cult mode again! she tried to start a fight..

  2. experiences

  so when i was at luch today, my wife was in full cult mode.

  she started in on me about us not being able to hang with other witnesses and when i go to the meetings with her that i don't talk with nobody nor pay attention and act angry.

  i told her that i don't want to fight and i have better things to do than argue.

  I hate the way this religion inserts itself in relationships.

  She may wake up one day. Try to remain hopeful.

  Did Geoffrey Jackson Commit Perjury, or Just "Spiritual Warfare"?

  by The Searcher in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  mr. jackson was pressured by angus stewart to answer if the org condoned corporal punishment, to which he openly stated that the org does not condone corporal punishment for j.w.

  children.

  this "fact" has never been revealed in the org's literature, in fact, this article which was published under geoffrey jackson's supervision, by definition demonstrates the org's approval of corporal punishment for j.w.

  SS - ..."99.9% of times JW children get scolded"

  Have you personally investigated 100% of JW households to make this claim?

  Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone!

  by seahorse321 in

  1. social
  2. current

  asia for the asians, africa for the africans, white countries for everybody!.

  everybody says there is this race problem.

  everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into every white country and only into white countries.. the netherlands and belgium are just as crowded as japan or taiwan, but nobody says japan or taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.. everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for every white country and only white countries to assimilate, i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.. what if i said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into every black country and only into black countries?.

  Who knows what the puny human scum are doing with their children. We have enough problems getting the GB helpers to peel our grapes properly.

  The thing with propoganda is you can't keep saying something's around the corner and nothing be around the corner. So you have to create pretend corners and psuedo "somethings" and hope this "throw the dog a bone" style of delivering will go on unnoticed.

  Canadian branch getting rid of their trucks and drivers

  by wannaexit in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a recent letter to the elders outlined the new arrangement for delivering literature to the congregations.

  the canadian branch will be downsizing by eliminating drivers and trucks and utilizing commercial carriers to bring the boxes of monthly literature .

  more outsourcing and more lay offs.. the funny thing about it is that they want to have the literature delivered to various private homes of the rank and file rather than have the literature delivered to the kingdom hall.

  Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

  the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

  the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

  Where I live, it gets delivered by commercial courier to a centrally located brother's house and then the lit servant from each cong picks it up from there and takes it home to his house.
