  Shepherding Visit Riposte

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  if an elder approaches you and wants to arrange a shepherding call one possible response is..... "well thankyou brother, but jehovah is my shepherd.

  i shall lack nothing.

  (ps 23:1) but thanks again anyway".

  It's all about control, and power.

  When someone has to "report" to someone higher up, they are therefore showing their submission to them....

  But, this is not a cult you know....

  CLAM Video: Aug 8-14 2016 – “Older Ones - You Have an Important Role”

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  this video portrayed an elderly widowed sister who was a former pioneer and now reduced to submitting field service reports of 15 minute increments.

  she was also portrayed as quite frail in that she ambulates with the use of a quad rollator frame.

  she was very neatly attired and groomed and what the video showed of her apartment conveyed everything perfectly tidy to a level which would have relaxed an ocd sufferer.

  Yes, once again, this simplistic presentation fails to show THE REALITY of life!

  You can not survive on "good intentions". They don't pay the bills.

  The society's discouragement of education is downright despicable!

  just saw this pop up in my facebook...i laughed out loud in the office and people looked at me.. .

  is it just me or is it very ironic to post that scripture with a picture of the hq?

  because following men at hq is exactly what they do!.

  But witnesses ARE following God by doing all that the GB directs!

  Like that famous quote in the WT said: "clearly Jehovah and Jesus trust the faithful slave, so we should do the same"

  CLAM Video: Aug 22-28 2016 – “Jehovah Will Care for Our Needs”

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this video showed a married brother with three children living in a nice domicile and working full time.

  his employer demands that he change his working pattern such that it conflicts with his being able to attend wt meetings at the weekend.

  the brother decides not to yield to his employer’s demand and is thus dismissed.. the brother seeks for work very actively over a significant period but without any alternative being found.

  To most witnesses, they feel it is a badge of honor to struggle financially. Almost like it proves their spirituality or something....

  Wow! I have not seen it, but based on your description, that sounds simply odd....

  But of course, this is NOT a cult....

  Does anyone else squirm uncomfortably in disbelief?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as we know, every month on the "official broadcasting" presentation, a new "music video" is presented.. can these possibly be any more cringe-worthy??.

  the words, music, singing are so, so bad....i mean, so bad!.

  surely witnesses are not so stupid that they don't harbor secret feelings of awkwardness when they see these?.

  To clarify, I am not referring to the actual "kingdom songs" sung at the meetings.... (although they are bad enough)

  I am referring to those Music Videos shown at the end of each month's broadcast...

  They are simply mind snappingly bad....

  Should I talk to elders?

  by Chook in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the whole world is rigged, whether its religious tribunals or local police enforcement, those who are paid by god or government are the enforcers .

  should you talk to elders... well imagine that brooklyn had ordered these men to df anyone who says anything against the slave.

  do you stand a chance , religious zealots are the most ruthless throughout history, look into it , it's scary to think we believed a magazine that we thought came from god .
