Il a oublie.

by looking at cdn court cases.. i knew i would find him if i persisted.. there is clear evidence, in my view, that beginning some time, probably in early 2010, but perhaps earlier, that mr. jones developed a delusional disorder with a primary religious focus.
mr. jones accounting of the development of his belief that he is jesus christ, is consistent with the known development of psychotic disorders.
mr. jones describes a period of time where he felt that he had some greater purpose or was meant for something important although he was unable to really identify what that was.
As per the balladeer Mark Knopfler:
I go down to Speaker's Corner
I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
mom: yes?.
you dont want to make jehovah sad, do you mom?.
mom: okay.. .
Good job.

Correct Simon.
Watching it now.
(Holy Grail was my favourite.
Stopped watching Life of Brian eons ago because of my JW conscience.)

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.
My observation is that these are not older people. Flash forward 30 years or so and see if you're happy or even able to do menial labor. I suspect not. But I forgot that the new system will be here by then and you won't have to worry about your future.
Was going to post the same thought.
I'm 70 years old, do not own my own home, have no benefits, have arthritis, expensive meds, no degree, my car needs repairs, my spouse is delusional, we cannot ask our children for help (I feel guilty for having had children in this evil system instead of devoting more of my life to WTS, and I realize that my present circumstance is undoubtedly because of not fully having followed WTS instructions and should have had a vasectomy) as they have left the truth and I am dutifully shunning them.
Can you please send one or two elders over to show me an appropriate article to read?
one of my main problems with the watch tower and, more specifically, with the governing body is the level of irresponsibility seen when lives of people are involved and their unapologetical attitude when people suffer due to their absurd policies.. how many people were imprisoned or killed for refusing to perform civil service in exchange for military service?.
we do not know, but it does not matter, because the society does not even apologize for the harm their blinking light caused.. how many people died or contracted illnesses due to the prohibition of vaccines?.
we might never know, but an apology is not on the menu.. how many people died for refusing (or disfellowshipped for accepting) fractions of blood when it was against the rules?.
As a kid, the wife of my Dad's best friend died due to refusing blood. (At an Int'l Convention, no less.)
My ex's best friend died due to refusing blood during childbirth (the baby also died - never heard the cause of the baby's death).
Add to that the 6 JW's that I personally knew well who suicided.
Irresponsible does not even begin to describe "Our Mother."
If there were a death penalty for abusive mothers, this mother should be executed, resurrected, and executed over and over.
Tearful video.
It should conclude with Caleb going kamikaze into those Brooklyn Bethel buildings.
just read a comment on a site that said:.
"at the annual general meeting this year at stanley halls it is on tv.jw.org david splane said the pyramid of giza the bible students believed in for calculating time periods were from pagans".
wasted 2 hours watching the am on jw tv.. splane indeed says this, and that br.
Actually, what stood out during Splane's reference to this Brother Smith who adjusted his view about the Pyramid, was the comment:
"He let reason win out over emotion."
Does that not mean that JW's, then, should start reasoning FOR THEMSELVES on a teaching or practice that does not make sense?
The other thing during his droning on about types and antitypes, he poses the question
"Who decides if the Word of God is silent?"
We should imitate Albert Schroeder, who said "We need to exercise great care if it is not in Scripture."
Same point then, when does an individual need to accept personal responsiblity for their beliefs and actions (or inactions - actually doing good to your neighbour, refusing blood, etc)?

What the hell?
Brothers are supposed to adjust their long-held views?
Oh, but not yet.
Gustav, buddy, you need to explain when someone, according to GB Splane, is supposed to use THEIR OWN POWER OF REASON, but otherwise just "All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."
Explain away.
