a pet peeve of mine is that there are numerous christian denominations (other faiths with their 'holy' books too), all claim that their interpretation of their 'holy' book is the correct interpretation.
my conclusion is that either their god is a very poor communicator or simply doesn't exist.. i used to believe all this stuff when i was a jobo and later a church going christian.
i simply cannot, in all honesty subscribe to it all any more.
Yes Punk! Agreed!
Its almost as if the Almighty revels in making it difficult for people to learn the truth about him...and then punishes them with death for failing to know him...
Seems so loving?
Or maybe there is no such thing as a god, but he is the creation of the Bronze Age goat herders and 1st century simpletons who wrote the bible
i have an uneasy feeling inside that something is coming this year or the next.
perhaps a new big announcement that turns jwdom on it's head.. we've seen the statement in the watchtower november 15th, 2013 which said:.
watchtower november 15th, 2013 - page 20, paragraph 17.. .
Ah, sorry all....I don't know why, but the picture I was trying to paste in the previous post didn't seem to work! Silly me...
It was an image of two children watching a TV screen that simply said "DONT THINK"
I thought it would make a great Jw broadcasting episode!

This is the latest JW broadcasting episode:
the other day my wife and i were in sonoma.
we were just walking around enjoying the pleasant afternoon in the quaint, old downtown area when i saw two jw women standing by their “witnessing cart.” .
normally, i just ignore them whenever i see jws standing by a cart, but i gotta admit it: this time it really bugged me because of the title on the cart: find family happiness.
Great thread JP!
I perfectly understand your reaction to their hypocritical message!
I likewise called out the hypocrisy of the witnesses message once when they highlighted the cartoon drawing clip for youths that spoke out against gossip and slander. ("What makes a true friend " or something like that)
The VERY THING that all our former "friends" did was gossip about us and slander our names!
So such hypocrisy needs to be called out.
i have been wanting to write a book for kids who grow up in the borg or near the borg.
it would be non offensive and factual.
i am putting the chapters together.
Nice idea!
Perhaps include the BITE model.
Help those young ones to identify :
Behaviour control
Information control
Thought control
Emotion control
why i am proud to be dutch: today the state secretary of foreign affairs had to resign because of lying about russia.. we don't accept openly liars.. g..
And I am proud of the way the Dutch media is having a field day exposing JWs at the moment! Especially re the child abuse mishandling!
Bravo Dutch media and law officials!

Great thread PE!
To be honest though, I don't think that the GB have thought that far ahead with any grand plan. I think they are just doubling down on "OBEY US" or else stuff. They haven't yet thought of what that actually involves...they are not that bright....
i wish i could change my user name.
.
i am no longer confused..
Haha! yes, I am cerrtainly no longer stuck in a rut either!
I originally chose my name as i was stuck as an appointed man in the cong, active in all aspects, but mentally out!
So i chose stuckinarut2 ( as in "I am stuck in a rut as well" ) as i knew there were many others in my situation.
I am now well and truly out ; and so thankful too! My wife is also out, hence her user name choice here 'unstuck'
