there was a talk i heard recently given by a top bethel bro, he was complaining that the type of young jws that have been joining bethel in recent years has been totally unfit for work or even life.
he called them "cotton wool jws" as he says that the parents of these young ones have kept them so sheltered from life that by the time they are of age to strike out on their own they are completely unable to cope socially, emotionally, mentally and that they have no practical life's skills or instincts of common sense or responsibility.
he said that the brothers at bethel have to work at peeling off the layers of cotton wool these ones have come wrapped in and that often when exposed to the reality of life away from mummy they quite literally go running back home.. for once i actually agree with a brother on the platform, i've met many a young teen or young adult whose life has been one long warm bath as it were.
I think this has been happening for a while because I spoke to a guy once who was in Bethel in the 80s and he said they were complaining about the newest batches of bethel boys all being "clones" as they called them, they looked and sounded the same amd were very "delicate" in constitution.
So, it could only have become worse since then for sure.

Hearing the WT hollow men speak makes my brain hurt.
so i wont get into why i asked my jw wife to leave... theres another thread for that lol... but more out of pure curiosity i asked her just now... "in order to save this marriage would you leave the jws?
", it was a snap call no, like not even a second to pause and think about it, which kinda took me back a bit, followed by a angry "why would you ask me that now?
" (shes going out witnessing with my kids and her friends).
When someone is still under WT's spell it's nigh on impossible to get through to them.
another "gem" from the convention.
there's a talk about remaining neutral.
one of the topics they say jw's should avoid is the topic of "peoples lives matter" which is barely veiled code for black lives matter.
We know how quiet they would be about persecution "wah wah wah" is what they say.
In fact they invent persecution just so they can be persecuted because persecution is so hot right now.
#GBtoo has a nice ring to it.

If they're laughing at a trailer KH they must really ROFLMAO at the hut style and shanty town KH's in Africa and other poor countries. 😯
These guys are psychopaths.

Speaking out of both sides of their arse as usual. WT are using media more than ever these days to cry foul about the Russian ban to promote letter writing campaigns, conventions and carts and issue statements about how they "abhor child abuse" and whatnot should we believe media then?
i think it’s terrible and simply wrong not to serve a person in a restaurant simply because you disagree with their political views.
i think that when a uber driver dumps a car load of people simply because they speak amongst themselves about politics that the driver doesn’t agree with—-it’s discrimination!
this type of discrimination will cost people their lives someday!.
I agree about this sort of thing being relatively isolated and then blown up by media to stir the pot which in turn triggers other incidents in sympathy or retaliation which of course they highlight that too, it gives the impression it's happeneing more frequently than it actually is although the media seem to want to induce outrage- it's good for ratings. Also some people just want their 15minutes of fame.

Why were the WT psychopath jerks mocking and laughing at their own videos?
Very disturbing, either they know their own videos are untrue or it's how they really view "the friends" either way these are horrible men.
immersed in dickens and hawthorne, i cannot easily shake off the dusty antiquity of a bygone era.
however, its scant reality inhabits, not the present, but my sad hearkening back to the shadows of long ago.. hot blood pulses anew within fingers i thought stilled forever in a writer's graveyard of unwritten verse.
it is a reluctant awakening to a life much sadder than that endured by storybook friends who cannot see me, know me.. permit me, therefore, to reenter that precious twilight betwixt my present and the past, the faraway there of dearly departed poets.
Creativity ebbs and flows the trick seems to be to understand that the ebbs and flows are as normal as breathing in and out or the waves of the ocean.
During the ebbs I find it helpful to paint a study of someone elses work just to mark time while waiting for the next flow because I think it was Picasso(?) who said inspiration will come but she has to find you working.
i found it on facebook.
evidently, it’s from watchtower and shows baptisms and the brotherhood..
No. I have not heard of it.
The name itself is an oxymoron.
