  Meeting Days Felt Different?

  by pale.emperor in

  i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.

  on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.

  that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

  Yes meeting days felt different just like school days felt different and work days feel different and holidays feel different. It's all about perception.

  But, meeting days for me always felt waaaay better once they were over and I could breath a sigh of relief. I would have pizza and and a glass of wine or a beer after the mid-week meetings and watch star trek next gen on tele. I would have a late brunch and listen to jazz after the sunday meetings etc you get the gist. Hey, anything to get by right.

  You MUST Sign the Data Collection Form "...obey...whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.¨"

  the many and complex issues surrounding the collection of person data and new laws aiming to protect individuals control of their own privacy, seem to have hatched about the same time as the governing body expressed their hope that it´s own 8 million would obey their order to "sign this form" effectively transfering total authority over privacy and data issues over to the borg.. what are your thoughts on this coincidence?.

  zuckerberg lost billion$$ when people realized that he had prostituted their personal data and now wt wants the same signed access that he had to info that is $$$.... wt already owns all the real estate and now wants to own all the data.... it´s a current and global issue - please share your thought with the rest of us here.. .

  Oh I'm sure they have big plans for the data, but, being the WT we'll never know what.

  Secret Societies involved at the very top of the Org

  by Formerbrother in

  are all the gb members past and present, part of skulls and bones and other masonic secret societies?

  we know the first few top brass were, like br rutherford and br russel.. they all have several expensive watches.

  like literally more than one for everyday of the week, rolex and omega, where did they come from?

  Russell is NOT the borg of today he's just the excuse for the borg of today so what Russell was is neither here nor there except that WT uses him for their backstory of the humble bible student searching for truth. When we all know without a doubt that this religion did not have the immaculate conception the borg would like to claim it did. WT lies!

  Russell's ideas were infected from all strains of quasi religious claptrappery. The total mindfuckery and corruption really started to metastasize under later leaderships and continues down to this day to the life's blood sucking, family destroying, money making cult we know it to be.

  New JWism in April broadcast?

  by AuntBee in

  does anyone know what it means to be "securely wrapped up in the bag of life"?

  is this a new special wt terminology?

  they said it or a slight variant of it, several times in the broadcast, perhaps 3?

  Maybe it's a variation on the phrase of having something "in the bag" ???

  They sure do love their culty little catch phrases though so who knows maybe you have to be brainwashed to understand it.

  Lloyd’s new book

  by jwfacts in

  2. beliefs

  i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.

  i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

  When you agree to a massive front page story complete with photos of yourself for a Croatian newspaper it's no longer a phase.

  Lloyd living with his still in JW in-laws is common knowledge of which Lloyd has freely spoken about. In fact in one of his videos he speaks of the uncomfortablenes of doing christmas because of the arrangement.

  If they made 14400k symbolic how many jws would start to claim to be anointed?

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since there's debate here about wether the literal interpretation of the 14400k could be changed to symbolic, i was thinking such an announcement would allow for any jw to claim to be going to heaven... in which case i wonder how many jws would suddenly claim to have "been called"?.

  i can think of many arrogant holier than thou types who would be jumping on that bandwagon immediately!

  Movie-goers can be fickle (great movies that should've enjoyed huge box-office success)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  just thought i'd start a thread about this topic.. john carpenter's the thing (1982) was a great film, one of his best imo.

  for me, it's right up there with alien (1979) as one of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made.

  and yet one film made anything between $100 - 200 million at the box office whereas the other made only $19 million.

  Agreed, vidiot.

  I thought the The Burbs was hilarious and underrated.
