Governing body deceiving members on purpose?

by wwjdnwt in

i was born into this religion.

i was a jw for well over 30 years.

i did much research before i had internet, i compared bibles and prayed deeply to help me to know if this was the truth.

I believe much of the unexplained "illness" in the borg is due to people on a subconscious level percieving something is terribly wrong with their religion while not being consciously aware of what it is. This causes all manner of symptoms, both physical and psychological to manifest which the person puts down to "the stress of living in Satan's system."

As far as the whole is the GB evil or deluded question, who can know.

This I do know, they know exactly what they are doing...and always have known.

Speculation ( not theory ) on child abuse inquiries.

by DATA-DOG in

most of you, like me, keep yourself informed as to what's happening in jw-land.

like me, you make it your business to know what's going on.

so i'm wondering why the wtbts is allowing eldubs to appear in these inquiries in australia??

sparrowdown

The WT has no authority to decide who appears and who does not appear at a Royal Commission.

Which must he quite a novel experience for them. The elders are GB cannon fodder just as much as the r&f are.

JW ended a relationship with me

by V1922 in

my jw boyfriend just ended a year and a half relationship with me.

it came out the blue and i'm deeply hurt by this because we were so compatible.

he did it right before the big annual gathering he is presently attending.

sparrowdown

Run, run and don't look back.

This guy is bad news in ways you have no idea of, getting entangled in a relationship with him has the potential to change the course of your life forever.

Read my words he is a member of a CULT!

Royal Commission convened for now, but Jackson is an asshole

by umbertoecho in

i have just finished listening to this man jackson.

i remember him well.

he is twisting things around as much as he is allowed.

sparrowdown

Plenty more smug assholes straight out of the smug asshole mold that this guy came from.

Any elder I have ever known couldn't even answer sincere questions at the door without getting flustered, let alone be even halfway prepared to answer questions the "superior authorities" choose to ask.

This royal commission is going to make mincemeat out of the testimony of these guys.

You call yourself "The Truth" you can't handle the truth.

I don't know how I ever sat through them. Drivel, complete drivel.

It is good to have reminders of how bad these studies are.

An elder, Chief MD in Honolulu clinic goes door to door. Testimony given at JW convention

by AndersonsInfo in

http://www.pressreader.com/usa/honolulu-star-advertiser/20150725/281848642300889/textview.

it sounds to me like he was a jw before he became a physician.

"kalauawa, who became a jw 31 years ago, said he had to overcome a major conflict between his religious and professional beliefs, because jws are opposed to blood transfusions.

sparrowdown

I had a friend who was a JW nurse (general ward) and she did the same thing this Dr guy did, she requested other nurses set up transfusions because of religious grounds. Another who was a theatre nurse who also did this.

There was an elder/doctor in my congregation and he had veritable God-like status afforded him.

These people are apparently blind to their own hypocrisy.

WTH do all cults follow the same branding and marketing PR outline?

by oppostate in

well not only is the wt following in the 700 club's footsteps... guess who else seems to have the same pr company advising them.. .

this was posted on facebook, and just made my jaw drop.. how is it they all end up having a similar presence?

.

sparrowdown

Just how tv evangelist does it have to become before the average dub wakes up and smells the cult!

The pied piper GB play their evil flute and the r&f just skip along oblivious.

Basic Bible and Religious Vocabulary the Watchtower Never Teaches

by CalebInFloroda in

when i began formal study of religion and biblical analysis it was like peeling off layer after layer of dark matter, sticky and putrid that had stuck over my eyes and ears and mouth.

i learned that under the watchtower one only builds a widening gap between yourself and the world of biblical academia and scholars.

i used to think i knew a lot because i learned to quote a few scholars or lexicons as a witness.

sparrowdown

I'm beginning to think the only "truth" I learnt as a JW was bullus shitus.
