"i can get back up!

stuckinarut2

Yup That's it!

Thanks for posting the pics.

The song goes "I can get back up!" while showing a VW Up!.

OK, so its a small thing, but made me chuckle anyway....

great video for showing how to define a cult.

The little things that made you feel guilty as a JW?

by HereIgo in

watching rated r movies?

maybe a little gambling in vegas?

when i was in high school i went to the mall with my friend at the time, who happened to be a female.

stuckinarut2

Guilty? Oh about everything....

That is the way with religious groups. FOG (Fear Obligation Guilt)

Once we let that go, life becomes so much happier! And yet that doesn't mean we become evil either. We simply stop being emotionally entrapped by stupidity!

JW Cart encounter

by Listener in

i've seen very few carts in western australia.

the only one i have seen is near the front entrance of the perth royal hospital and on the several occasions that i have seen it, they are there all day, at least during the week.

i've stopped and had long conversations twice now and both times when i have approached them they've told me to take whatever publications interest me and then we've started talking.this last visit i brought up the royal commission.

Nice post Listener.

Maybe something you said will replay in their minds.....and help them awaken....

Another day, another cart

by Anony Mous in

i was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.

they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.

the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .

stuckinarut2

It has nothing to do with spreading the message.

It is all about keeping witnesses busy and "counting time".

(On the point of keeping witnesses busy, it is just like the "game" we play with kids to try and keep them happy and quiet on a car trip. "Lets see who can stay quiet the longest, and they will be the winner of a prize!". Some kids fall for that...)

Oh, also it creates a status amongst witnesses as to who "qualifies" to do the cart work.

Jehovah's Witnesses denial of what they are supposed to believe from Watchtower

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

one of the most frustrating things.

when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.

such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".

stuckinarut2

If they are following the guidance of the ALMIGHTY Jehovah, they should be PROUD of their policies (no matter how odd) and shout them from the rooftops!

If they try and white-wash them, that says something!

I don't want to go to the meeting and I feel good saying that

by notalone in

jw
friends

so last night i got an emotional call from a friend, the same friend that recently said "we sound like a cult.

" in last night's conversation she said she was tired of the truth.

tired of jehovah.

What Steve2 said above!!

Tread carefully. (just ask "Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho")

Why would Watchtower fight Stratton Ohio

by John Davis in

why would watchtower sue stratton ohio, and then laud it over and over in their books?

the town doesn't even have 300 people, why would they pick on such a small town.

they are promoting it so much at this week's meeting.

stuckinarut2

True humility it seems....(sarcasm alert)

Boasting like this is just so petty. So they won a small town issue. Big deal.

They lost in a massive country : RUSSIA

Why is the approval of family so important?

by jwfacts in

one of the reasons people remain pimo is fear of losing family.

those that are disfellowshipped and shunned regularly comment about how devastated that they have lost the approval of their parents.. when i respond to emails from people saying how difficult it is being estranged or looked down on by their parents, i would like to say that over time they will come to terms with it, except i not sure that people ever do.

i cannot shake that feeling either.

stuckinarut2

There is another way to look this issue .

The family that do the shunning are actually missing out on all that we can provide them and all that we can contribute to enhance their lives. ie, it is actually THEIR loss. They miss out on us, and all we are.

Rather than allowing ourselves to be the 'victims', we should see those family as the victims. Yes, victims of the GB control.

Dont stop calling or seeing those family members. Keep calling, and keep showing up and acting normal. If we stop contacting them, we play by the rules of the society, and give power to their corrupt policies.
