  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.

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

  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

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  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.

  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

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  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.

  Critical times, hard to deal with!

  by The Fall Guy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  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.

  "Cultivate Self-Control"

  by mrssauk in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  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.

  The Society has never taken ownership of its mistakes! Be it past inaccurate teachings, writings, or ideas. Or be it the appalling mismanagement of child abuse cases etc...

  NOTHING is ever their fault! They have consistently passed the blame to someone else (be it "satan's media", or the "expectations of some misguided individuals" etc...)

  If we raised children who always shifted the blame or tried to excuse their errors, it would be tragic, and we would help them learn the importance of owning their mistakes......but somehow our "motherly organization" is free to do this and get away with it.

  Anyone remember LP album circa 68 with Awake on back cover?

  by cabasilas in

  2. friends

  i have a memory of some rock artist of the 60s placing a pic of herself and some guy in bed and her reading an awake magazine on the back cover.

  it could have been "is time running out for mankind" or something like that.

  anyone remember?

  Wow!

  And of ALL the articles to choose, it had to be that classic one with the now infamous quote about not getting an education, because "this system will be well on its way to completion before you graduate"

  Oh wow...

  by freddo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so i've just skived off to the car park half way through our assembly day - what a classic morning.. i'm sat right behind an early-teen kid with some sort of special needs (autistic?

  ) who's sat with what looks like his late-30's harassed single parent mother.

  (or married to an unbelieving mate?

  Smart kid!

  He sounds like the young boy in the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. He actually stated the obvious, while everyone else just kept quiet and complied....
