  We had a Bethel speaker come to our KH some years ago.

  He stated his two favourite books were God's Love and Jeremiah.

  I was like, WTH, these both are my two least favourite books.

  I think the God's Love book is the ultimate FOG book to exploit Dubs.

  "Keep Yourselves in God's Love" ???

  Seriously.

  God is our Father.

  Is there a freaking book called, "Keep Yourselves in Your Parents' Love?"

  No,

  Why not?

  Because we love people whom we love.

  But, the God of Dubland ONLY loves you IFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

  Freaking jerks.

  so lately i've felt so frustrated and overwhelmed that i had to tell someone how i felt.

  my parents were gone so i decided to talk to my sister.

  we've always been close so i thought i could trust her because we have talked about it before.

  My ongoing post:

  All Dubs have been infected with a potent virus that controls their thinking.

  A handful can be cured. Most adults do not want to be cured.

  If you watch Walking Dead, it's painfully synonymous.

  You wish your loved ones were not infected, but letting them bite you won't benefit anyone.

  1. In the God's Love book Disfellowshipping is mentioned, as well as how to treat the df'ed person.
  2. Also, the Governing Body is introduced as the slave giving us proper food at the proper time.
  3. The potential member is introduced to the word "organization"

  Those 3 items would be interesting to put to cart drones.

  Also,do they have the LOVE book at the carts?

  Serious question about the Australian RC and the WTBTS.

  by DATA-DOG in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  i have not been in a position to watch all of the interviews, so i'm sure that i missed a few things.

  here is my question.

  were either elders or ministerial servants accused of sexually abusing children, or were the accused just lowly r&f publishers or bible studies?

  A fair number of elders, MS, and pioneers were not removed, never mind not DF'd.

  (The commission has a spreadsheet of each attacker.)

  John 13:35.

  by Sabin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so my husband believes the wording in john 13:35 is wrong.

  instead of saying, "by this all will know that you are my disciples-if you have love among yourselves".

  it should say "by this all will know that you are my disciples-if you have love for yourselves".

  I watched Mr. Jackson last night with my super cult minded parents

  by Magwitch in

  i have seen some ask on this site how the active jw's are handling what is happening in australia.

  here is my little experience from last night........ my parents were baptized in the late 30's as children and have never faltered in their determination to survive the great tribulation and live forever in paradise (even though they actively associate with all their df'ed kids).

  my father is still actively serving as an elder and my mother has always been by his side.

  Agree with ozbrad.

  The morning was the warmup.

  The afternoon was the game - not as dramatic as I'd hoped, but St, Angus knows what he is doing.

  Standing for Judge Okay - Standing for Anthem Wrong

  for decades before leaving, i always found this contradiction so hypocritical, and one of the harshest, emotionally damaging, things that this cult does to its young.

  SaintB:

  "Act of respect" is my point.

  There is a difference between respect and worship.

  Cappy:

  In Canada, you do not stand.

  WT policy is:

  If the custom in your land is to stand AND sing, then you may stand ONLY.

  If the custom is to stand ONLY, then you must remain seated.

  How f'd up is that?

  I and my siblings suffered through this nonsense, and we made our kids suffer.

  One bro in our hall had a beer poured on his head for sitting through the anthem at a hockey game.

  After that I stayed in the concourse at venues until the anthem finished.

  GB member Geoffrey Jackson is lying!

  by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

  2. child-abuse

  okay, i know the royal commission hasn't started yet.

  but i'm confident enough that he will be telling some whoppers.

  so i thought i'd be the first to get a thread started for something that will begin... very soon now!.

  I gotta say that WTS was lucky that Jackson was the Aussie, and not Tomo or Lett.

  Although Jackson was about 30% in cult mode, he was also about 40% sincere.

  It was like these guys are never forced to realize the cruelty of their processes and rules.

  (For Tomo, Splane, and Sanderson, that wouldn't have mattered one iota.)

  Did you hear Stewart use the bible to prove an incredibly good point to Jackson!!

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i thought at the end, stewart made brilliant use of scripture (about establishing fornication or other sexually immoral practises) how, in such a clever way stewart used scripture to point out that some one could basically stake out someone's house to see if a person stayed over night be they homosexual or heterosexual............that on the basis of a sort of stakeout, the two witness rule was ambivalent yet it prevailed.

  due to sufficient suspicion.. and therefore why did this "suspicion" not prevail with child sexual abuse.

  You're right, Billy.

  I apologize for having been found guilty of thinking.
