  This week's WT study...made me so sick.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this week's study april 15th 2014 was called "do you see the one who is invisible?".

  it was perhaps one of the most depressing, controlling, fear-mongering, stress inducing, doctrinally incorrect, hate-inspiring, judgemental, cult-like, irrational, hyped-up, critical, crazy, stretched out, fanciful, illogical, burdensome, inflated, coersive, manipulative, and brain-snappingly weird stuff i have read for some time.... (but i'm sure it was just a rehash and repeat of previous stuff...for the new masses....).

  i had to keep up a sane appearance while in the hall, and even answer some garbage while this was being 'studied'... my cognitive disonance must be so strong now, because i found this one of the hardest ones to endure....now that i am home, i have poured a stiff drink and am trying to clear my head...... one paragraph was classic:.

  I just noticed this tactic

  by problemaddict in

  in reading terrys latest post, if made me think of something that exists and many of us have experienced but i have not really put into a logical thoughts process before.

  in terrys 4 facts everyone should know about jw's, the second one referrs to the walsh trial where unity is said to be more important than truth, in no uncertain terms.. this made me think about how one would bring up this fact.

  my mind wandered to the beginning of my fade, when inevitably, many of us open up our mouths and say too much.

  When I mentioned the full letter regardimg the new donation scam to the sister i studied with, I basically told her that i knew about the chanhe before the congregation did, and thoigh they only heard/saw page one, there were more pages. she asked where i got it, i said the internet, she asked was it from jw.org, i explained that it was not however the info proved to be true, she wanted nothing to do with it. they are so brain washed they wont even accept the real truth...

  Troll Accusations

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have noticed that some of us are a bit too eager to label new posters as trolls.

  while it is clear that there are some posters who just like to stir up trouble or are out and out apologists there are others who are witnesses starting to have genuine doubts and so ask questions but then when they see the responses the cognitive dissonance kicks in and they push back and argue with what they are being told.

  this can lead to very negative reactions from jwn members and accusations that the person is a troll.

  Fraz thank you for this. i never experienced it myself but did read a few threads where it happened and smh it was sad to see. even if the poster is trolling, why not show them what real caring is...and no attacks. dont risk scaring away even 1 person trying to fimd ttatt...

  What has the WTS EVER "predicted" that has actually come true?

  by integ in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  you'd think they could point to something right?

  obviously we're the one true religion".. i can't fathom how anyone of any intelligence would be willing to join up with this org after doing even rudimentary research.. for years they have taught that it's wrong to seek advanced education or to plan for a "worldly" future by trusting in this system of things and then this past sunday the watchtower article rips on people for not planning for the future in regard to their elderly relatives.

  maybe if they hadn't been teaching for 100 yr's that the end was "just around the corner" and telling us we'd better believe that fact...or else, we would have planned better for a future that you said without reservation would not even occur.. what mind blowing prediction can they point to that would convince someone "oh yeah..these guys have it right"...?.

  HeyThere

  i saw the wt about elderly as acknowledgment that there are now many old witnesses who dont have a way to care for themselves because they listened to the wt amd didnt plan for this "system" to last. now with cutting the do's you add even more needy older ones. ones who may have shunned theor family and kids oray have fam amd kids as broke as them from following the dub dub. so it was a manipulative, timely reminderasking for dubs to help the needy older ones becaise the wt wont. the wt keeps all donatioms, so npw they want dubs to also donate directly to those needy ones as well, using their typical j-dub mind tricks to do it. all while still asking those same needy ones to donate what they can as well to gain jehovahs favor...remember this same wt issue discusses the poor widow who gained jehovahs favor....
