Oh yeah, who can forget the bruvverly luuuuve.
Reminds me of a line from a movie (Addams Family values I think) when Fester's wife "Debbie" screams at Gomez
" He's wrapped in a gossamer blanket of love, and he hates your guts."

"holding the anointed elders in his right hand"
by oppostate in(ks10 p11:1) revelation 1:20 depicts jesus as holding the anointed elders in his right hand, thus, by extension, indicating that he controls all bodies of elders for the purpose of accomplishing jehovah’s will.
(re pp.
in the shepherding book it says "holding the anointed elders in his right hand".

"Holding the elders in his right hand"....
Since the GB are dicks it sounds a little masturbatery (is that even a word?) of them to claim to be in Jesus right hand. Anyway, eeww.

JWs in effect say "if you believe anything other than what WT teaches you are are stupid and worthy of death"
Yeah, that's so respect-worthy. Bit, hard to feel all warm and fuzzy about someone who thinks you are worthy of death if you don't attend their church meetings

Do JWs think mine or anyone elses beliefs deserve respect?
Thing is, they run over other people's beliefs with a theocratic bulldozer by saying everyone elses beliefs are false and they don't have to respect them.
Do they respect a Dr's belief that lifesaving medical treatment should come before a person's religion?
Do they respect a teacher's belief that students should learn from a broad range of subjects and make up their own mind on what they "believe?"
Do they respect the policeman's belief that crimes of abuse should be reported?

by pale.emperor inwell, thats it folks.. my identity on here has been rumbled and reported to the elders.
someone, somehow, has figured out that im a member of this site and - rather than speak to me - has promptly reported me to the elders.
i just feel sad for my daughter.

Why Are You Here?
by Believer ini'm wondering why believers remain members of this forum which is clearly hostile to believers.
as one member said, nonbelievers pounce on any semblance of belief like piranhas on prey.
as former jws we should have had our fill of judgmental know-it-alls, but here we are.

Why do believers stay here? Fair question.
Could it have something to do with over 200 comments (and counting) across two new posts, over two and a half days?
These sorts of christian verses athiest threads have an eternal life of their own (pun intended).

Do you still believe in the concept of absolute truth?
by JW_Rogue injws very much believe that there is an absolute truth and of course, they are the only ones who have it lol.
how about now though do you still believe that absolute truths exist?
or is everything subjective?

Absolute truth? Absolutely.
But, is that Jackson Pollock painting I love really good and really art?
Depends on who you ask and what their taste is, the only thing we know absolutely is that it is worth a shitload of money.

No Reason For JWs To Go To The MIdweek Meeting (CLAM)
by JW_Rogue ineverything that is done at the midweek meeting can now be done at home.
the videos are online, the first talk is scripted, the bible highlights are scripted.
you could get the same experience by just reading and watching the material from your tablet.

Pretty soon you will be able to have all your indoctrination needs met in the comforts of your own home via the tv screen. Who'd have thunk it.
Remember folks just don't forget to keep hitting that donate button websites don't run themselves.

Watchtower Bible & Tract Society: Pretending to Be Alive?
by David_Jay inaccording to market analysis, the e-book market has taken a dip in 2015. because companies that publish e-books can (and do) monitor the use of the e-books materials they release, not only their sales but the individual e-book’s use gets tracked.
companies like amazon and kobo as well as nielsen book research in the uk all report that while the format remains popular, sales have dipped more than a quarter last year in some places like britain, and that hard copies of books still are preferred.. amazon (u.s.a.) sales figures give an example of how things are working on the world scene.
for instance non-fiction hard copy printed books sales (including religion) made up a healthy 42% of their purchased books in 2015. in the same category, however, e-books made up only 6% of the sales.. kobo monitored its e-book sales and found that 60% of the electronic versions never even got opened.

Letto the clown is a clown. A talking head, one of the decieved decievers, whoever (if anyone) is calling shots at WT are behind the scenes, a small shadow group.
