  What they fail to mention is the unofficial shunning that goes on.

  I have not DA'd nor have been DF'd (oh my, sounds like some kind of kinky fantasy confession when you say it like that) but anyway I digress.

  My point is I am shunned by everyone that sees me now and yet my only WT "crime" (that they know of) is not being at the meetings. No one has enquired after my health or well being. No one has enquired as to why I am not at the meetings and if I need some help in some way to get back there it's just shun first and ask no questions, yet according to their official statement oh noooo that does not happen.

  Yeah right, they know damn well what really happens unofficially. That's what happens when seven men have all the power but no care or responsibility.

  In a diehard j-dub's mind they would be having a WT approved spiritual orgasm over the sales, equating sell-offs and downsizing with "the end being soooo close now."

  now this is weird, ever heard of the "mandela effect" ???

  i know how crazy it sounds but i got to tell you, this article about the governing body finally admitting the "faithful slave" was not divinely appointed by jesus in 1919 was epic to me.

  like a mandela effect feeling.

  No, never heard that the KJ version says "in" rather than "on" this is new to me too.

  I just looked up five different Bibles all saying "on." King James seems to be the exception.

  Most of the stuff listed as Mandela effect I actually remembered correctly with the exception of the Berenstein /Bernstein bears.

  I thought the claim was that they were appointed over the "domestics" in 1919 and will be appointed over "all the Master's belongings" at the GT. I 'm sure they keep it confusing on purpose.

  for those of you who are still in because of family circumstances, what do you do about field service?

  do you still go regularly, sporadically or not at all?.

  if you do still go, how do you manage?

  Towards the end I was just telling people at the doors I was there to read an short encouraging scripture and then said have a good day" and left. Many people thanked me for it, but I figured they were just relieved I wasn't expecting them to engage. I couldn't bring myself to do even that once I was completely awake, I just didn't go and put in a small fake report of 2hrs.

  Why are some that post here JW apologists?

  by ctrwtf in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my rant tonight is against the quasi religious apologists that post on this board.

  those who at once rail against the jw's then later talk about how "orderly" and "neat" the witnesses are at their conventions.

  those who site the benefits of bloodless surgery to some who have the luxury and time to actually make an educated choice, while ignoring the tens of thousands who've died because they happen to be in an accident or succumb to a disease for which there is no other treatment.. i understand the power of cognitive dissonance.

  Thinking can be quite addictive once you get over the initial fear and anxiety about it being a tool of the devil.

  Now whenever I 'm in a fix I don't think phil 4:6 I think ...I think...I just think, and I also google it.
