by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

at the agm on oct 7th, his eminence miserable morris iii stated the jw yearbook would cease publication and that the annual report would instead be released via the "about us" menu in the jw website.

related to this, the "life and ministry meeting workbook - january 2018 (living as christians)" outlines the following item to be considered jan 1-7 2018...."annual service report: (15 min.

) talk by an elder.

Those "experiences" are ALWAYS embellished in some way...

They are NEVER as "wonderful" as they are made out to be by the org.

I know of assembly experiences that were blatantly distorted and embellished! My wife submitted one to the CO once, and some time later, while listening to an assembly, her experience was related...BUT severely edited and embellished!

Ignoble

http://desperta.weebly.com/notiacutecias/jovem-de-23-anos-suicida-se-em-portugal-apos-entregar-carta-de-dissociacao.

the disgusting is reached - not only had her parents driven her away, she committed suicide and her exclusion is announced after her death, which means that she was ostracized by all and it will be said that this sect is a spiritual paradise.

"Cultivate Self-Control"

by mrssauk in

this weeks watchtower study (september 2017) about self-control states: "clearly, people who lack self-control are causing problems for themselves and for others.

and the problem of lacking self-control is worsening.

self-discipline was studied in the 1940’s, but recent studies have shown that people have become much worse at exercising self-discipline.

by pale.emperor in

https://tv.jw.org/#en/mediaitems/latestvideos/pub-jwb_201709_12_video.

a few things about this video:.

it's very nice that they managed to host a convention for the russian brothers and sisters, and that they all got fed.

Brilliant thread PE!

And great comments everybody.

Wow...this level of idiocy from the Society has reached a new low....

And yet stupid ignorant witnesses will lap it all up....

"aww, But it's not MY fault, someone else is to blame!"

by stuckinarut2 in

i was just thinking about the account of adam and eve, and how they both attempted to 'pass the buck', or shift the blame to someone else.

eve to the snake, and adam to eve.... does that sound familiar??.

the society has never taken ownership of its mistakes!

Hey jp1692, nope, I've known this for many years... You are correct. This is a well known point for those of us who have left.

I was thinking about the lurkers who come here...so for some reason it just stewed in my mind today, and I felt the need to post this.

A Visit from the JWs, knocking at our door...!

by Muddy Waters in

ha, another visit from the jws.... thankfully they are few and far between (seem to roll around whenever the co visits or is about to visit...)an elder and his wife, presenting the magazines and inviting us to the talks, which are "so encouraging".

he had the saddest, most hang-dog expression, as he bemoaned these last days, so critical to deal with, and how the world was getting so terrible, things are so bad, blah blah blah, and every time i looked at her, she smiled encouragingly at me with that bright-eyed, put-on "sincere" smile.

i thanked them for coming, and said, "i appreciate you thinking about us" (after they said how the "missed us" at the meetings, ugh) -- "but we know where the kingdom hall is if we decide to go back.

stuckinarut2

Well handled!

Yes, it amazes me when they dare use the line "everyone misses you". BS! If they truly missed us, they would at least send a text....

They say "they miss us" to calm their own guilt

JW website speaks with forked-tongue!

by The Fall Guy in

i put this under the "scandal" section because it is both a scandal how the wtbts can flaunt its evil hypocrisy and an even bigger scandal that the u.n. and governments in general turn a blind eye to the treatment inflicted on anyone who questions or challenges the org's teachings and practices.

"the right to change religions is supported by the universal declaration of human rights, which the united nations has called “the foundation of international human rights law.”......of course, these rights carry with them the obligation to respect the rights of others both to maintain their beliefs and to reject ideas that they disagree with.

Great thread!

Yes, masters at hypocrisy indeed!

Critical times, hard to deal with!

by The Fall Guy in

i reckoned that a comment by muddy waters in his latest post deserved a separate consideration - especially for active/fading j.w.'s..

's who called on him, parroted out the org's message of doom from 2 timothy 3:1-5 to remind him how bad the world is and that it showed that we are living in the last days.. a former elder/p.o.

once told me that he hated it every time the wtbts falsely applied these verses to the 20-21st century.

Great post!
