Anthony Morris is one sick puppy. He looks like a poster image of an emotional abuser. Mental manipulation all the way.

the may broadcast on tv.jw.org.

we need money!.

I never considered that God may be using JW TV to allow these buffoons to expose themselves for the real frauds, liars and hypocrites that they are. I hope their donations dry up like a dusty well in the California drought.

The Secret is out....but nobody cares

by MrTheocratic in

i've been looking on this site for some time but never posted.

i'll give a little about myself, but not too much.

i'm a ex-bethelite ( brooklyn )and currently serving as an elder (10 years) (thinking about stepping down) on the service committee.

Very interesting conversation. I see so many perspectives when I visit this site.

I had the thought today that you do not get a severance package when you leave the Watchtower, so why not leave earlier once you've made up your mind. Just my thought.

Peace to all.

a situation I know of and the mind set of the elders.

by joe134cd in

ok here's the situation i know of.. a women was in a situation where she was forced to reveal a hidden sin and was given a private reproof for it.

before this she had an other wise clean slate.

btw the reproof was for an unrelated matter and had nothing to do with apostasy.

I learned a new term from Eden--VUP (Very Unimportant Person). Even when I was in very few people reached out--too busy on the hamster wheel. 20 years of it. I say u are blessed. ;)

hey guys,.

so, something amazing happened recently.

i recently met with an old and very good friend of mine.

In my case I felt I had little to lose since I didn't care for most of the "friends" anyway. It was just a social club in my opinion and I was NOT a member. I turned in my DA Letter in September of last year and am coming up on my 6 month anniversary of no longer being a JW.

Honestly the people that shun you were not really your friends anyway, even if they are good people. Why? Because you can't be your true self. That's just my two cents.

email sent to me from a friend in new york city..

brooklyn update january 10, 2015.

we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.

I agree with Data Dog. I think he nailed it on the head.

These seem to be property appraisals free of charge for some kind of database back at headquarters. Once all the information is compiled they can start maximizing revenue as all good property management companies do. . All profit driven since more and more people are fed up with this religion generally speaking IMHO.

Why are people so dramatic

by rebel8 in

friends

i want to retire.

i'm quite a ways off from the age to collect social security and all.

i don't hate working--i actually like it.

airborne

I so agree with you rebel8

A significant portion of the human population creates their own misery and perpetually dwells in it. Better to complain than actually make any effort to change. That would require effort and some self-enlightenment.

I picture negative people as energy vampires that want to suck me dry as a victim. So the thought came to me to pretend I have an energy field around me that they can't penetrate with their bad vibes. Also keeping my distance away from them of course. Good luck in your fight against insanity!

I'm tired of the org misquoting scholars to support there heretical NWT

by yogosans14 in

day after day jws are constantly fighting with me over the internet that the nwt is the most accurate translation and then they prove it by quoting scholars from the watchtower magazines.

they tell me i'm biased and there rendering of john 1:1 as "a god" is approved by scholars but i have researched there so called "supporters" and i have found they have tooken what they said out of context to twist the scriptures to there liking.. .

dr. julius r. mantey (who is even recognized by the watchtower as a greek scholar since they quote his book on page 1158 of their kingdom interlinear translation): calls the watchtower translation of john 1:1 "a grossly misleading translation.

Just wanted to say what a pastor at my church said this past Sunday. "Jesus is 100% God and 100% man. Just because we don't understand it, doesn't mean it's not true."

And yes it is psychologically taxing to be a JW. How much relief there is by experiencing the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
