  All About The Words We Used

  by dubstepped in

  in the time since i've left the borg behind i've had a few things hit me as to how words were used.

  i'm wondering if anyone else has some similar examples, but here are some things that have made me think:.

  watchtower - my whole life i saw this as a thing of protection from outside evil forces, and then when i left someone pointed out "isn't that what they used to keep people in prison".

  How about "Sheep"?

  As a witness we understood it to be a good thing to follow like sheep.

  Now we know that to be a sheep is to be a mindless follower with no individual thinking ability.

  The re-writing of digital history....JW.org style. Interesting clip.

  we all know that one of the major advantages the society now has with everything being on its official website, is the ability to quickly change content when they desire.. so older articles that show them to have made mistakes, are simply re-written or edited...or even just deleted!

  simple!

  "nothing to see here...carry on".

  I found this great short clip that reminded me of this phenomenon:

  How to reply when someone asks about your spiritual health

  by RodrigoGuerreiro in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first of all, sorry if i cannot correctly express the original expression used in my native language to ask for the "spiritual condition".. a few years ago some member of the family asks my wife directly how is her "spiritual health" (for me it's one of the many strange vocabulary used by jw like "the slave says...").

  she was catched by surprise with the direct question and says that everything is ok... and luckily someone call them for lunch.. my question is: do you have any good answers for that question?

  you can be ironic/use some humor because the question is a little bit anecdotical .

  "How is your spiritual health?" = "how much witness activity are you engaged in. It's all about external appearances"

  Welcome, and sincere love to you on your journey.

  This is a safe place, with people who have travelled a similar path.

  Rather than allowing it to be overwhelming, view this stage of life as a chance to really grow and develop as a genuine person, not just a clone of the society.

  a circuit overseer friend of mine serving in latin america called me today to say hi.

  due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).

  the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .

  as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.

  How desperate!

  Wow.....they are truly dumbing down things now days...and that does not even keep people in!

  How is "Don't give up!" supposed to prevent those who have educated themselves to TTATT (the truth about the truth) from leaving?

  Seriously, can you imagine someone who has learned all number of disturbing facts about the society being swayed to stay after that convention theme?

  Oh I know! It is being used to "promote kingdom activity worldwide"

  Is that not the answer witnesses will be given?

  But, if a witness asks to see the balance sheets or accounting of the society, they will never be given access to it!
