How to "turn the tables" on still-in witness who pry about our status.

by stuckinarut2 in

so many of us have had (perhaps well-meaning) jws ask us questions about our inactivity, or lack of attendance at meetings.

they may pry about why..... how is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response?

to a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions.

How is this for a simple, yet straight to the point response? To a sincere person, it may play on their mind and make them ask more questions. To a fully in indoctrinated pious JW, it stops them dead in their tracks and makes a point:

"Thanks, but my God-given Bible trained conscience doesn't allow me to associate, now that I know a multitude of disturbing facts"

The right to record your judicial committee meeting

by UnshackleTheChains in

ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

stuckinarut2

Or just lie.

When I was asked if I was recording it, I simply said "why would you ask that?", and kept the recorder going....

They may have assumed that I said no.

Highlights from Leaked Bethel Videos - part 4, movie set

by neat blue dog in

it also looks like guests got to walk around the sets of what i'm guessing is what was used for the new jonah movie, coming soon to a convention near you, summer 2018.. .

The society is making itself feel so important with all this stuff.

Lots of in house fluff with no actual substance!

April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff

by Listener in

we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.

she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.

in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

stuckinarut2

Are they trying to make a reference and comparison to the current day bans going on in Russia perhaps?

Highlights from Leaked Bethel Videos - part 3, Family Day

by neat blue dog in

then there was family day which had an enormous turnout, with guests getting live entertainment, dancing and a dj.

they said that next time they'll cut back and not invite guests.. .

Traditionally, Bethel homes have an annual "family day" which is an in house day or evening of performances by bethel family members.

Some sing, some dance, some play instruments, some do in house comedy etc...

It is supposed to be a morale boosting fun time for bethelites only. NO RECORDINGS OR PHOTOS were ever permitted to be shown to those outside of bethel.

just wanted to pop in and say hi to all the old timers and the new.

i can't believe i've been a member of this site for 18 years now.

Nice to see you! I don't believe we have met. I'm one of the overlapping generation forum members...

May I ask what prompted you to reconnect with JW stuff?

R & B Soul on JW.org

by silentbuddha in

i remember getting my ass beat .

in 1987 / 1988 for listening to atlantic star.

they had a song called always.. my mother sat me down anmd told me listening to music like that would just rile up my emotions and make me look for a girl to fornicate with.. like at the age of 10 i was going to take it to that level.. my mother later banned r and b from our home.... i find it all hilarious now, but a friend of mine actually sent me a link to the jw broadcast and said i had to watch this.. i told him there was no way, but he said just start at the 50:40 mark.. i do not believe that this is what the org is doing now???.

stuckinarut2

I don't recognise this religion anymore!

WTF!!??

God wipes out humans/wickedness in Noah's Flood but somehow wickedness returns

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

genesis 6: 9-139 this is the account of noah and his family.noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with god.

10 noah had three sons: shem, ham and japheth.11 now the earth was corrupt in god’s sight and was full of violence.12 god saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.

13 so god said to noah, “i am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.

As has already been pointed out, the Nephalim were recorded as STILL existing years after the flood.

SO, either Jehovah didn't kill them all in a big flood, OR the bible writers cant be trusted to tell the truth!

Which is it?

Either way, it makes "Jehovah" a liar...
