  "Acceleration" in WT lingo means applying the brakes, screaching to a halt, awaiting the sickening thud.

  Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister

  by cappytan in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

  however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

  feel free to claim credit here.

  And just think of all the ignorant f-wit elders who would actually believe this propoganda bs video to be how things go down.

  Problem - suicidal sister.

  Solution - share a scripture and some cookies.

  Result - the elders can go back to ignoring her.

  Yeah, that's how it works you delusional fools.

  Boy, Jehovah's "chariot" is really speeding down that "highway of holiness" (phrase courtesy of Feb 2016 broadcast) and it needs money for fuel and snacks.

  DF'ed arrival/departure times at meetings

  by dubstepped in

  i didn't want to derail another thread, but something said made me wonder.

  i know that i noticed df'ed people come in right when the meeting started and leave right when it left most of the time.

  is that some sort of actual rule?

  If a disfellowshipped person was to arrive early and wander around the hall quietly or dilly-dally after the song and do the same many would complain, and the elders I have known would likely see it as an act of beligerence on the part of the disfellowshipped one.

  I just wish people would wake up and stop submitting to this stupid religion with it's stupid rules.

  Why would anyone want to go to a club where no one wanted you, no one spoke to you or even made eye contact. The whole thing is just stupid and discriminatory beyond belief.

  the brief outline for this item makes reference to the most recent wt on the subject of "reaching out" (sept 15 2014 - pages 3-6) if you are a jehovah's witness and thinking about becoming a ministerial servant or elder, then please consider the following information prior to attending the kh for this weeks clam.

  first - if you hope to become an elder, in the uk you will also become a charitable trustee.

  you will not be given any training for this part of your role.

  Elderbots needed - those with a conscience and a brain need not apply.

  Ironic considering it's the "you're not good enough" "only marry in the Lord" "women are stupid and weak" messages given at meetings that causes the depression that causes the suicidal thoughts.

  Like parking an ambulance at the bottom of a cliff.

  " Truth is the Most Beautiful Thing " ..... debate.

  by Phizzy in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  "truth is the most beautiful thing" is a quote from andrea camilleri, author of the montalbano novels among many other writings.. what do you think about that statement ?.

  is there anything more beautiful ?

  or do other things top it, or come further down the list of beautiful things ?.

  I actually don't think of truth in terms of being good or bad, beautiful or ugly.

  Truth itself, just is. It's neutral, indifferent. It is still truth whether you like or not. Whether you accept it or not.

  The effect of truth/reality accepted and dealt with in a person's life can be beautiful I suppose.

  this is interesting, jw's go to the door of a biblical scholar, a professor in theology i believe, and he invites them in and records the whole conversation.

  Do You Remember The First Time You Looked At "Apostate" Material?

  by minimus in

  i was always fascinated by it.

  as a kid, i used to go to the local library and secretly read books by so called apostates.

  later, i would sneak into christian book stores and quickly buy a book or two.

  The first time I looked at "apostate" material it felt like looking at a sort of religious "porn."

  Naughty but exciting, scary but fun and left me with an appetite for more.
