  Arrange a 1/2 cup of rasberries in a cute little bowl, then dollop a spoonful of plain greek yoghurt on top.

  Sprinkle a few broken walnuts around and drizzle with maple syrup.

  Governing Body Member Stephan Lett Lies On JW.TV

  by Finkelstein in

  2. scandals

  i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.

  the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.

  the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .

  These men would go their graves (or prison) still loudly claiming they are right in all matters. Taken from the pages of the Rutherford playbook ie; we must create enemies and thus prove our claims of satanic persecution.

  Lett briefly addresses the child abuse issues in new JW.org video

  i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.

  link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

  as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.

  Typical defense strategy of the borg.

  Discredit the victims, discredit the witnesses, deny, deny, deny.

  I came into the "truth" from the "world" and right from the getgo I wondered why the artwork had to be so damn creepy. I just figured the koolaid hadn't kicked in yet, lol.

  Deliberately placed subliminal images or not, I just never liked the artwork and still find it weird and disturbing, you don't need a mirror or a conspiracy theory to notice that.

  JW TV Streaming

  i was telling my sister (who is also no longer a jw) how they have a jw broadcast channel now and stream their propaganda all the time.

  so i decided to check it out again, and right now anthony morris is on there bashing higher education.

  my mother has recently told me that the jws have lightened up about that issue and it is okay to pursue higher ed now.

  We will be seeing the GB's ugly mugs more and more often, showing themselves to be the scene stealing divas I always suspected they were. The up-side of that is the more exposure they get the more WTF moments will ensue.

  The marketing of sin.

  by sparrowdown in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  big pharma has been accused at times of "marketing madness," and that's a whole other topic, but isn't big religion guilty of marketing sin, after all there's no money in "normal.".

  there's no guilt induced donations to be had in ok-ness.. if we were taught that consenting adult sex is normal, enjoying your life, celebrating your milestones and achievements are all normal.

  making mistakes and occasionally swearing like a sailor - yep all normal.

  If we were taught that consenting adult sex is normal, enjoying your life, celebrating your milestones and achievements are all normal. Making mistakes and occasionally swearing like a sailor - yep all normal. Relationship break-ups, divorces, businesses failing, losing your job, - normal, normal and more normal. Feeling, at times, sad, angry, jealous, lonely, again all normal. Accidents, natural disasters -yeah that's right shit happens.

  Would we have had any need for WT approved attonement? I think not!

  What would happen to institutions like the WT who feed off the concept of sin?

  Maybe that's how to wake up ones that are still drinking the koolaid, to gently remind them that they are normal.

  fun with the book of jobjob ch 1 vs4 they celebrated birthdays.

  ] and it was several days long...new international version4 his sons used to hold feasts in their homes on their birthdays, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.orother version...4 his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

  [how would a jw twist the following scripture that says job offered a sin offering in case the sinned...]5.after a series of banquet days was complete, job would send for them in order to sanctify them.

  "Fun with the book of Job"

  I don't think this will catch on like Fun with Dick and Jane.

  The book of Job is a real downer. Yeah, the parties are all fun until everyone dies and shit.
