These CO's have diarrhea of the mouth. They LOVE to hear themselves talk. The last CO we listened to help seal our fate with this crazy cult. What an a** he was. LOVED himself! These guys couldn't survive in the real world so they have to latch on to gullible drones. -

April video online, "endurance"
by bohm inapril video online.
at around 42 minutes, a women find jehovahs witness, but her husband is not too hot on the idea and so she has to study with her children in secret.
however eventually the husband prays to jehovah that if jehovah will help him find a leak in a construction he is working on, he will go to a meeting and presto, the next day jehovah help him find the leak so now he is a witness..

I like how the guy "bargained" with Jehovah. Really? My kids can't bargain with me so why would Jehovah allow this. Really?
Maybe I should have tried bargaining with Jehovah when my close relative was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Maybe if I bargained with him they would still be alive. He can fix a leaky roof can't he, why not cancer? Hmmm.
These people get more and more delusional everyday!

21 Years as an Elder, 5 as an MS, I will never be that guy again.
by James Jack ini was deleted as the cobe after i let my adult child move back home and he admitted that he fornicated under my roof while my wife and i where away on a rbc project.
of course the elder mode in me kicked him out of the house.. the elders moved quickly to remove me because i was too involved in "theocractic activities", i had neglected my adult son.. i accepted this primarily because i didn't want to serve with a boe that did not want me.
i was devastated however because it was the only life i knew.

A promise of Perfect Family Happiness. Isn't it interesting that ALL of our happiness is promised for the future. No wonder some of the "old timers" are pissed. Promises....Promises but no delivery. Now they are old, broke and resentful.
We don't want to end up like that!

What was written in the article Is it Wrong to Change Your Religion? in the July 2009 Awake page 29 “No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family.”
This one was so wrong in so many ways. TRUE HYPOCRISY!!!

That they will spend hours and hours trying to recrute new members but don't give a damn about their families. That TRULY blows my mind. I have about 1000 other things I could list but don't have all day. -

I saw and heard something in a Kingdom hall I thought I would never witness!
by HowTheBibleWasCreated inwhen i was a kid i would hear religious songs on tv and start sining them... not knowing they were church songs... one day i started singing the hallelujah song (not sure the exact name of the song) my father quickly gave me a hard slap on the mouth and said if i ever sang that song again he would take his belt off and beat my butt until it was red!.
well fast forward 30 years..... the public speaker was missing today and so tv.jw>org to the rescue.... instead they decided to play the new video about the last hundred years since 1914.. instantly the hall was filled with the exact same song i was punished for!
yes a church song filled the hall for almost 5 minutes as we watch br.

How many times in that video did they mention "religion is a snare and a racket?" How ironic! -

One day assembly
by Sour Grapes inat a recent one day assembly i walked away with the thought that the wtbts sure does not like witnesses who have the opportunity to make a good living.
there were, in one day, three experiences of witnesses who turned down "6 figure salaries" because there would be some traveling involved and some meetings would be missed as well as missing family worship night.
i thought it strange that the exact phrase was used of "6 figure salary".

That's the thing that really pisses us off. The GB, circuit overseers, need greaters, bethelites and some of the Elders will condemn you for going to College or sending your kids to college but they don't have any problem borrowing/taking money from you. In fact they will gladly take it, all the while talking behind your back that you went to college. How can they take/borrow all that filthy "college money"? HYPOCRITES!!!! -
