They just want to make sure everyone knows how they can give their money to the golden calf website now, just in case there (heaven forbid) comes a day when there is no conveniently located KH to attend.

Just covering their digital bases that's all.

GB Member Guy Pierce Memorial Card

by pale.emperor in

http://library.jw-wayback.org/jw-wb/photos-pictures/people/guy%20pierce%20(1934-2014).pdf.

interesting to read his backstory.

a little sad that they refer to his first marriage as "guy married a woman with 2 children".

"He experienced a divorce" translates as "through no fault of our dear righteous Brother."

The JW Fake News Engine

by snugglebunny in

apparently i'd been in prison, gone to wife-swapping parties and consorted with fortune tellers.

.

i guess they have to demonise those who leave less others too are tempted to stray.. what did they say about you?.

sparrowdown

So "snugglebunny" 😉 was your prison name and doubled as your swinger name also.

Cool. Hey man, to each his own.

jw
friends

just wanted to say a big hello to everyone, my first post on here was actually yesterday but it was deleted.. so will keep this one short to save my precious time just in case its also deleted or lost.. got fed up with years of persecution from within the congregations.

the lack of genuine friendship & lack of 'christian love'.

having personally seen many a scandalous behaviour i began doing some research online some years ago.

Not A Day Goes By Without Me Thinking About Watchtower

by pale.emperor in

although i consider myself completely "cured" from watchtower brainwashing, guilt tripping and propaganda, i realised today that there's not a day that goes by without me thinking of the cult we left.

i think of my former family and what i'd like to say to them, what i'd try to explain and how i'd say it without them switching the "ignore" button and running away.. today on my instagram account my little step-brother "liked" a picture i posted.

i didn't even know he was still on my friends list.

I know what you mean it's like a bungi-chord attached to the heart. There's only so far you can go before the chord yanks you back to the reality of the situation and of course it would, this is family, people who are supposed to love, care and support you over some publishing/real estate business.

Reminds me of that eighties song "There's always something there to remind me..."

"... climate of disfellowshipping in Hull currently... " - Hull Daily Mail

by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

article from the above news paper... .

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/hull-jehovahs-witnesses-speak-out-444185.

maybe boe in north east england having an attack of zealous fervour!

sparrowdown

Is it just me or does Jehovah seem to have himself a self-important bunch of delicate little snowflake flower witnesses for himself these days. Every witness seems to be like:

How dare these disfellowshipped people not like being shunned, make it stop Jehovah it's triggering me.

How dare they ask questions that require truthful answers - that triggers me too! Waaaaaaa 😣.

I don't mean to sound braggy but when I was in I always listened carefully and tried to talk kindly to anyone who was hurt or cranky by their experience with JWs in the hope they would know shit happens and not to let it ruin their faith in God.

I figured if I had "the Truth" I needed to be the one to rise above any anger and counter it with love.

Ha! What an idiot I was.

Need help understanding the Overlapping Generation teaching

by Jules Saturn in

so this is a topic that seriously boggles my mind and please correct me if i'm wrong.

to me, the jw definition of the overlapping generation teaching is that the lives of the anointed from 1914 overlap with the lives of the anointed right now.

david splane used the example of fred franz and how he finished his "earthly course" in 1992 but while he did, he had a lot of "contemporaries" that outlived him and are currently living today.

sparrowdown

The overlapping generation crapola is just the interum teaching to dropping 1914.
