What's all the fuss about, he was "just another scripture thumping hack from Galilee."

i honestly have never heard such claptrap being delivered in a memorial talk.. the speaker repeatedly put down the way other religions administered the bread & wine, and claimed that witnesses do it exactly as the bible describes.
oh yeah????.
he forgot to mention - when reading aloud 1 corinthians 11:25 - that after passing the bread, a full meal was to be shared, before the wine was passed around!

a local elderette at my former hall (the same type person who posts selfies while out in "service") posted this public admonishment.
the responses are so pathetic.
these are all adults, but they still act like scared children:.
what is the wackiest...strangest....most unusual jw teaching or practice?
i know i'm angry.
i was curious if others are too.
i feel completely justified in my anger as well.
Yes, some days I feel right royally pissed off with all religion.
Like days when I see some witness and they scurry past me like I have the plague. Or when I read of some abuse case or some JW needlessly dying because of blood policy.
i was fortunate enough to have a fairly smooth exit from the cult.
a major factor in this transition was retaining the one and only family connection that was important to me.
even though the relationship was challenged, it didn't end, and in many ways, the very nature of it being tested proved its strength.
One day at a time.
Just think of it as being like an arrow - an arrow has to be dragged back in order for it to shoot forward.
the penalty of this charge??
yes, disfellowshipping.. bad association?
excessive time at work?
Yes, I have heard similar, stuck.
Not agreeing to meet, declining offers of shepherding visit etc.
"Brazen" can be a handy word it seems
this site has gone through many metamorphosis over the years.
i believe it is a kinder, less edgy place tan it was a few years ago.
i wonder how many people were helped versus turned off by this place.
I found this site to be very intimidating at times, especially in the beginning.
I have become acclimatized -gradually.
It has helped me to toughen up I suppose, but I do try to avoid the contentious tit for tat arguements that can go on and on.... and on. I'm not a masochist and would prefer to laugh then argue.
Thanks for asking.

we all hear this notion of "theocratic warfare", and how it is used to justify jehovah's witnesses to lie or withhold the truth even under oath, based on the reasoning that we don't owe the truth to those who aren't entitled to it.
but, can we put our finger on where this doctrine started?
well, brace yourselves, here it is.
Organizations like this one need outside enemies to survive.
Rutherford was a bear-poking asshole, as well.
this is jim jeffries.
bear in mind that he's performing to an american audience in boston.
his routine does contain south strong language.. https://youtu.be/jl--yvnni0i.
Typical aussie humour - unapologetically stating the obvious with plenty of bleeps thrown in.
He's a very funny guy.
