Oh get your mind out of the gutter. He's no pedo. If anything he's probably one of the more sincere GB members, seeing as he was raised in "the truth" and spent his entire life pioneering or at Bethel. Looking at and listening to him, I think he is generally in awe of his fellow GB members and considers it all a great privilege. I think he is sincerely duped. Being at that organizational level he undoubtedly gets exposed to some pretty disturbing stuff, but I'm sure he finds ways to rationalize them, like most of us did.

That 'ass of myself quote' is one of my favorites. A real gem for showing to JWs, seeing as it's in JW Library.

I remember Jesus riding on 2 donkeys.
How is that possible? Standing, balancing one foot on each like a rodeo clown?

Toasted daughter: Why Jephthah almost certainly sacrificed his daughter to a complicit Jehovah
by Diogenesister injehovah's witnesses insist that jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter to jehovah.
this is important to them because, rarther than jephthah just being a random bad person, jehovah was very much in on the deal.
after all, he made the promise to jehovah that he would "offer up as a burnt offering" on his return the first thing to come out of his house if jehovah would give the ammonites into his hands in battle, and since they were this makes jehovah complicit.. the isrealites had been getting a good thrashing of late, and the gilead elders (oh boy) had come out to ask jephthah, the rejected son of a prostitute (wouldn't you know it) and renown soldier, if he would lead the isrealites into battle for them.. this is when jephthah makes the deal with jehobo, and it all centres on the word for "burnt offering", which is given as "olah".

Plus, the NWT is the only Bible I know of that says that people would thereafter go to "give commendation" to Jepthas daughter. Every other Bible I've seen including the original Hebrew says that they would go to 'mourn' her.

What grinds my gears most about being part of a high control religion!
by UnshackleTheChains inthe one thing that annoys me most about being a jdub is the control watchtower has over everyone.
for a start, there is absolutely no liberty in christ.
there is no freedom to openly express your own thoughts on scripture.

Only people allowed to do this is the governing body when they discuss "new light". Some of the changes they have made would be a df matter to the rest of us! UGG
And then they say stuff like, 'We're just following the lead of Jesus, holding on to the chariot.' Oh, get real. They take everyone for idiots when they act like they aren't responsible for their own decisions. Are they inspired or aren't they? You can't have it both ways!

Fear of reprisal for expressing your thoughts.
That's what grinds my gears.

I hope this is just a joke, because when reading this board, I thought this was'nt suppose to happen
by Truth and Justice inhi to all the board, .
i am confused about something that i read on this board.
it was the subject about the building and development of new kingdom halls.

Building was never completely stopped, just drastically reduced. Now, all Kingdom Halls are being booked to capacity, and local funds for new Halls being sent to the society, so THEY decide what gets built, when, and where.

So my PIMO Younger Brother Tried To Kill Himself Today
by pale.emperor inwe all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.

This is heartbreaking and sickening. I wish you the best brother; Don't give up. You never know how things can turn out.
