there was a wt study not too long ago that insisted on studying every pact that god made in the past, but adding the spin of calling them "legal contracts".

this week's book study concentrated on the same thing.

I have not been to a meeting in a year now, but I do remember phrases like "legal contract" "legally binding" etc in reference to "agreements" Jehovah made.

Benedict Cumberbatch has Cumberbitches

Surely the ego-stroking GB worshipping fans deserve a name.

GBsters? ...GBitches?... Nah, too tame, they need one that gives you an idea of the level of devotion the fans have.

Anyone have any ideas?

Elder Telephoned

by The Searcher in

got a call from an elder in my previous congregation.. as tonight is meeting night, he enquired, "do you have anything on tonight"?.

i was sorely tempted to reply, "yes, a leotard made of spanx"!!!.

he would not have taken it well, so i just said 'no'!.

"Oozing tiredness and apathy..."

Now that's what I like to hear.

I have found if you remain pleasant and appear disappointed that you can't see them, they quickly lose interest.

Good luck withnthe fade.

Deadly Devotion

by William Penwell in

i am not sure if this has being discussed.

i just watch "deadly devotion" on id channel.

the episode was entitled, witness to murder.

I remember reading a book a few years ago about a JW guy who had his own cleaning business, employed all brothers, him and his wife were the toast of the cong for a while there. Then things all started going horribly wrong, the guy cracked and killed his wife and three kids. It was a shocking story, written by a NYT journalist. I wasn't "awake" when I read it, but now I can't remember what it was called.

I suspect there could be many more of these types of cases than we think. Seems that being a JW does not guarantee immunity to all that worldly dysfunction and misery after all.

1 Timothy 5:8 - Providing for one's household....materially or spiritually?

by cappytan in

the searcher brought this scripture up on another thread:.

(1 timothy 5:8) "certainly if anyone does not provide for those who are his own, and especially for those who are members of his household, he has disowned the faith and is worse than a person without faith.

" [disowned jehovah].

They have a license to "spiritualize" any scripture to suit themselves. They also wantonly take scriptures that are obviously spiritual or illustrative and deem them to be literal.

It's good to be a cult leader.

Just ask simple questions and make street witnesses move along

by OnTheWayOut in

you don't have to know much to talk to jw's and show them they don't want to really discuss the matters.they consider a discussion on the matter they are pushing to be "confrontational.".
