Election Post-Mortem

by Simon in

i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

really, wtf!.

the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

Trump supporters have all sorts rationalizing on the pussy grab comments.

I mean, why should a little pussy grabbing get in the way of becoming President right?

I find it really interesting in a documentary program I watched how many Russians are absolutely kookoo for Trump they think Trump is on their side and Russia and America will join forces.

What if one of the GB members suddenly needed blood?

by StarTrekAngel in

there is not much to be analyzed.

in a cult enviromment the leader will always look up for himself.

he would never hesitate to break every rule to save his own skin.

sparrowdown

They would never need blood as they have ice running through their veins.

But, if they did I'm sure they would get the very best care medical science and money can provide -including a hush-hush blood transfusion because as OUTLAW would say they are rockstar popes after all!

November JW broadcast is up, this time on not telling the truth, shunning

by bohm in

jw
friends

november broadcast is up:.

https://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=mp4&output=html&pub=jwb&issue=201611.

we learn interesting things.

sparrowdown

The more heavy-handed the GB are with the message the less room it leaves for ambiguity in the minds of the JWs listening. Hopefully it will become more and more difficult to make excuses, as many JWs live in lala land concerning the true nature of their religion.

Time to wake up and smell the cult people.

Help with fading, please...

by longgone in

i just left about six months ago and i'm going through the emotional whirlwind that comes with it.

i would really appreciate some advice on how to keep this fade from turning into my being disfellowshipped.

i'm another born in, third generation.

JWs are not worth maintaining a relationship with.

People you cannot trust and cannot be yourself around.

Living in fear of displeasing dubs and their delicate little sensitivities is absolute hell, and not worth the grief. IMO.

November broadcast makes thier strategy clear.

by Crazyguy in

thier talk at this summers district conventions about shunning faders was a bit unclear and many said it was pointing out that only jws were to shun wrongdoers not specifically faders.

this new broadcast makes it now obvious that those who leave the meetings have left jehovah so therefore they are to be shunned as a form of discipline.

there can be no mistake that they do not want any of thier cult members associating with faders or those that have left the cult.

sparrowdown

The message is clear: If in doubt SHUN!!

Shun, shun ,shun ,shun....shun, shun, shun shun....

Contradiction of recent WT statements

by stuckinarut2 in

so we all know of some (in)famous quotes that the wt has said in recent years.. the one that comes to mind is: (this is just from memory, so please feel free to add the proper links / references).

"we must be willing to obey the direction from the gb no matter how strange it seems from a human standpoint".

so, how does that "direction" / "command" to obey the gb fit in with feb 2017 statement:.

sparrowdown

Translation: "Be willing to obey no matter how WRONG we are, have been or prove to be in the future."

So pretty much..."Obey, obey,obey." The standard cult poly-mantra really.

"The G.B. is neither inspired nor infallible"

by smiddy in

that admission in the feb.17 ,study edition of the watchtower , " who is leading gods people today ?

" "the governing body is neither inspired, nor infallible, therefore it (they/we) can err in doctrinal matters or in organizational direction .".

have the many jehovahs witnesses past and present who have lost their lives by refusing blood transfusions due to the prohibition on blood tranfusions by jehovahs witnesses really got the sense of this statement ?.

sparrowdown

OR, the WT/GB could say whatever damn crazy-ass statement they want in ERROR and leave people to make their own personal life decisions.

Yeah, that could work.
