You gotta hand it to them. Kings of f***ing spin!
No wonder JW minds are twisted into a pretzel.

JW's Are All About Free Will Now
by pale.emperor infrom the january 2017 watchtower:.
first paragraph reads: when faced with making a personal choice, one woman told a friend: “do not make me think; just tell me what to do.
that is easier.” the woman preferred being told what to do instead of using a precious gift from her creator, the gift of free will.

How else are they gonna prove "..the earth has become filled" with their propoganda!
The next magazine will show a sister witnessing in a skirt on MT Everest and the one after that under the sea in diving gear and skirt -of course!

Hey! I know some JWs from "The Gong." - Well, used to anyway, back when my name wasn't mud lol.
BTW, I wonder if they need permission from the homeowner to use a pic of their house?
Also the colours in the WT image have been pimped up to paradise saturation levels!

The Great October 2016 Invite to the Sunday Meeting campaign ...
by freddo inwell how's it going round your way?
massive increase of interested ones?
did you even know it was supposed to be happening?

I could never understand the point of these campaigns.
I mean, come on, JW meetings would have to be up there with the most un-user friendly meetings out there. Especially for anyone who hasn't had any previous indoctrination they are incomprehensible.
The JW jargon, the "Jehovah this Jehovah that's" every five seconds, the bunch of unspoken rules of engagement and etiquette that is observed by the brainwashed majority that attend. It's a very strange, very exclusive social club of wanna be social and spiritual elites who's default setting with "interested ones" is one of snide condascension.

You're fired!...Damage control in October broadcast
by ab.ortega inthis new broadcast features interviews with bethelites from south africa that were fired reassigned to the ministry field.
i almost feel sorry for these people who gave their all thinking they would be taken care of for who-knows how many years.
however they were let go in the blink of an eye.

Because of the dog eat dog environment of most congs JWs are territorial. I imagine there will be some serious turf wars breaking out when the ex-bethelites come to town and expect to get a slice of the local pie.
Well - I hope there will be anyway may wake some more people up.

This may be a crazy question, but it popped in my head and won't leave. . So I gotta ask. . .
by Miss Worldly inok, this probably applies to most faith systems that believe in any sort of afterlife, but i would like to know what sort of explanation the jw's would come up with for this little problem, you know, after armageddon on earthly paradise.
sorry if i sound dumb, but it's been nagging at me for a few weeks and have to ask.. so, what if a young married jw couple are living their life, waiting for the big a, knowing they will be together in the earthly paradise, then very sadly one of them dies.
from what i know, if a jw dies, that's it.

Thanks for those scripture references James Brown "...when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching." It reminds me of The Life Of Brian and the crowds audibly gasping whenever Brian said anything.😄

How will the Governments get people on board to accept the target amount of Muslim refugees when the press go around calling out Islam when calling out Islam makes many people nervous about accepting large amounts of muslim refugees. Not saying calling out muslim terrorists is either good or bad -maybe yes maybe no, just wondering about the ulterior motives on the part of the Governments and the EU.
