Quite sickening really that they teach people how to shun family, refuse blood, be homophobic, sexist and be a walking talking billboard for their cult and WT benefits.

Boy, to be a Bethel elder these days you have to be a triple threat singer, actor and ass-kisser extrordinaire.

It's those eyes, with that cold stare, this guy could play a creepy serial killer or Bond villain that tortures his victims by reading them WT publications.

JWs kinda admit to not being Christian

by NikL in

during the book study which is basically a book all about the history of "gods organization" ©.

a paragraph that hit me like a ton of the proverbial bricks was this.... 9 first, jehovah’s servants came to have the proper view of the importance of god’s name.

faithful early bible students viewed the ransom arrangement as the bible’s main teaching.

Hell yeah, they definitely put Jesus in the corner. Actually I remember how they used to point out quite regularly that the congregations belonged to Jesus and he was the head of the org, now....not so much - if at all, it's always "Jehovah's organization."

Plus, what kind of anul-retentive psycho keeps a running total of the times Jehovah and Jesus are mentioned and turns it into a competition? Oh that's right WT.

How does an elder become an elder?

As others have pointed out be perpetually "available" for any...any assignment that comes your way particularly ones the other elders don't want to do like volunteering to take the FS group on public holidays. Appear eager to help but not ambitious. And the most important is to put your lips together and suck like your life depends upon it. It also helps to marry a theocratic "it" girl like the COBEs daughter or local pioneer.

Whaaaaat....r u saying there is an awake article that says smiling at DFed people is allowed in the backroom?

Or, r u saying there is an awake article about smiling and you decided to smile at the DFed people as a kind of silent smiling protest of DFing?

Or, is there some othe reason you are smiling like a crazy person at the meetings?

Witnesses illusion that they have their OWN conscience!! What a joke! Examples.

by Witness 007 in

witnesses always claim to have a "bible trained conscience" yet they are really just watchtower robots who cant piss without checking with an elder or watchtower.

an elder who cuts hair was scared when i asked for a bald buzz cut since my hair was receding and grey.

he actually rang a bethel elder to see if this was okay watchtower wise!

Bible trained conscience = WT programmed mind.

And you know the old saying...garbage in garbage out
