They are service tunnels that host piping and wiring etc. they also have paths. but they are just cut into the dirt and are small. They have sections that bethelites over the years have turned into wine cellars and home-brew areas! (Unofficially of course)

Has anyone else experienced this?

my spouse and i have faded 4+ years ago.

we know the jw rumor mill has gotten back to our family that we no longer attend.

most of our family is out of state.

Yep, we have the same situation.

I guess it's a case of "knowledge means they have to DO something about it". So the family members would rather just pretend all is status quo.....and they also live by the mentality of "why let facts get in the way of 'the truth'"?

Its cowardly really.....

August 2017 Watchtower - Screwing with J.W.'s minds again

by The Searcher in

in the latest issue of double-speak, i'd like to highlight these two statements:.

page 3, par.

2 - "...how encouraging it is to know that jehovah’s faithful servants in the past felt free to express the same question that may loom in our minds, and they were not condemned for asking it!

What amazing double speak indeed!

Toxic Person?

by stuckinarut2 in

i read a fantastic quote that applies to the way the society treats those who choose to leave...:.

"when a toxic person can no longer control you, they will try and control how others see you".

just wanted to share....

Yes, that is a great book Blondie!

JW Guide to Critical Thinking

by Saename in

just found this chart on reddit here: reddit.

and here's a copy:.

what i find scary is that... it's accurate.

I always replace the expression "critical thinking" with "Analytical Thinking" when speaking with Witnesses.

It removes their defences....

u can speak against Christ but not the GB

by Damascus in

so i am in trouble for questioning the whole rats nest of deceit and lies.

in matthew 12 jesus says: whoever speaks a word against the son of man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the holy spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

" the gb seems to replace 'holy spirit' with themselves.

The GB / FDS supersedes Jesus everyday....

Circumcision....Perfect Adam....Uncircumcised....1st century Christians...circumcision ont required

by blondie in

jw

i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.

even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.

if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.

stuckinarut2

Blondie: Since culturally, many people keep their penis under wraps, who would see if a man had a foreskin or not, to be stumbled if they didn't?

Best comment!

Circuit Overseer's Idiotic Comment

by FedUpJW in

at last night's clam the circuit overseer made this comment, "we elders sometimes have to act as judges in the congregation.

but we (the elders) are imperfect, and so cannot know everything about judicial matters.

that is why we (the elders) have the biblical rule that there must be at least two witnesses to wrongdoing.

stuckinarut2

Wow! That CO sounds like an absolute idiot!

Didnt Jesus condemn the scribes and pharasees for the way they messed with the law by "straining the gnat and gulping the camel"?

The society's way of dealing with child abuse is just such an example!
