this weeks watchtower study (september 2017) about self-control states: "clearly, people who lack self-control are causing problems for themselves and for others.
and the problem of lacking self-control is worsening.
self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline.
Interesting. If I run that phrase through my JWborg doublespeak translator one of the alternative phrases is self-control = obedience to WT.
Well that makes much more sense as there are all those JWs willfully not donating, slackening off from their meeting attendance, thinking their own thoughts, visiting apostate websites, sueing the WT, protesting against the WT, the list goes on and on what more proof do they need of lack of obedience oops I mean "self-control."
i was just thinking about the account of adam and eve, and how they both attempted to 'pass the buck', or shift the blame to someone else.
eve to the snake, and adam to eve.... does that sound familiar??.
the society has never taken ownership of its mistakes!
Gee thanks, Moster.

This is one of the traits of a narcissist - they are never wrong. That's why people often don't readily identify the JW religion to be a cult because since the days of Russell and Rutherford there hasn't been any one charismatic leader to point to and say "he claims to be God's spokeperson, do not question him, he is never wrong, he never apologizes..." etc etc all the things you would expect to be said of the religious narcissist cult leader.
"The Society" does display all the traits of a narcissist and a cult leader in bucket loads they're just careful to do so collectively. I call it the "I am Sparticus" defense because there is no one person to identify as "Sparticus" they're all Sparticus and so in effect none of them are Sparticus.

You're welcome stuck, I can spot a penis or as K99 said "a giant knob" at twenty paces.....oh no no no.... that doesn't sound too good does it...I'm really not....oh crap I'll shut up now.
because someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.
you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.
of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.
Wonderful news CoCo.
All WT crap aside, a few simple words of encouragement, support and appreciation can be all that's needed to regain some sense of purpose, balance and worth. You do this everyday CoCO I'm sure of it, so thank you sir.
Appreciation; it costs nothing folks but it can pull someone back from the brink.
in my comedy i want to show the audience a large version of some weird front covers from the watchtower or awake.. do you have any suggestions?.
cheers.

Why Has God Been So Patient???!!!
We'd call those covers "clickbait" now.
why did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.
"...not a joking matter..." DJ
Oh crap, oops too late for me I have committed the horrible sin of joking about "serious matters" like religion all the time.
What can I say, it's my coping mechanism.
