not a peep about all victims, not even a prayer for them.
only pray for jws.
and who or what is jehovah's loving arm of support?
Typical JW concern. No concern for anyone else out of the JW bubble!
We even have JW family that will go the extra mile for those in their congregations but NOTHING for the family. We all get NOTHING. If you are not "spiritual" enough, they dismiss you. NOW, if they need something like a favor or they need money, they will find you immediately! Funny how that works!
i walked to the station yesterday to meet a friend, and on the way, in what must be the quietest street in the entire suburb, were two j.witnesses and their little cart, all set with a literature display.
i wondered what point there may have been to choose that location.
i felt like grabbing one of their bibles and reading matthew 5:15 to them:.
Maybe if they keep telling themselves that all these things are "privileges" they will start to actually believe it.
it's only a matter of time of course..... jw rumor mills will start up soon, with stories of how jws were "first on the scene" as the flood waters receded..... how the red cross and/or us national guard and/or doctors without borders and/or [you name it] were marveling at just how "organized" the jws are..... how zealous jws were pulling their trolleys thru ankle-deep water to "offer comfort" to victims, by giving them - sandwiches?
bottled water?
to offer them comfort by giving them 16 page "magazines" to read in their spare time..... so as the stories start to come in, you can "deposit" those little nuggets of bs here.. once collected, we'll wrap them in a pretty bow and flush them away where other instances of pure manure go..
Watchtower and JW's will help there own....no worldlies allowed!
Watchtower will capitalized on this one....donate, donate, donate! They do it because it works. You still have some rich old timers that would donate their left nut if asked.
the manipulative use of language by the org in the upcoming circuit assembly talks is as good - or better - than any advertising conglomerate could devise.
the mind-shaping wording is clearly used in order to deter critical thinking by the sheep.. face bad reports as jesus did (9 min.
note to the speaker: explain why spiritually mature people do not become ashamed of the good news or dismayed when faced with negative propaganda.
"Never let them see you sweat." I guess Watchtower has never heard this quote before. I think there is some major sweating going on in WT land. I love it!
so i visited the netherlands last week and decided to stop by giethoorn.
this is a town whereby many (if not most) of the homes are accessed by small boats via narrow water canals.
during the summer months, the residents of this isolated picturesque town welcome visitors with their seasonal tourist attractions such as canal cruises on eco-friendly boats, restaurants and a small museum which highlights the history of the town.
It's amazing that they don't engage you in conversation. Especially if you are lingering around the cart acting semi interested. Weird!
looking at all the narcissistic bull shit the watchtower corporation has been spewing out for the world to see about suffering of its members to as nothing worth being very concerned about and as jehovah magnificent be vindicated is much more important.
have they really gone off their rocker enough for a very sizable portion of membership to see their insanity and jump ship?.
i think definitely they are losing all respect from their internet savy members as their madness becomes obvious.
I think their are a lot of JW's who, like I did, feel there is something not right in Watchtower land. We have several friends/family who just do the bare minimum or dial in to the meetings. The only thing they for sure attend is the memorial. They know something stinks (they have pretty much told us that) or they don't have any response(s) with some of the things we say (they know it's true and we get blank stares). It's a hard bridge to cross for them. We understand that, we have been there.
Watchtower is not going anywhere. They may decline in number and sell off Kingdom Halls but there are just too many who like the socialization and just bury their heads in the sand. Then there are the uber/special ones who have ALL the connections (the REAL Kool Aid drinkers). This is what will be running the cult eventually. The self righteous "special ones". These ones are the ones who will be running the show. They will eat each other alive like kids fighting over a toy. Too many chiefs. It is going to be interesting to watch! Grab your popcorn and enjoy the show!
so i saw on instagram from one of the major uber elders from everett wa posted a picture of where he was staying for the week long safety training the ldc was putting on.
well this "suite" had a full bar for one thing and everything else was quite fancy!
he was complaining about losing $$ for a week since he had to go to this training but the accommodations were wonderful.
"No joke. The kicker is..... when it comes time for them to be "laid off", for whatever reason, at any given time, they will have absolutely NOTHING, I mean ZERO."
Yes, it has happened in the past and will happen again. Happy and Spiritual UNTIL Watchtower has used you up and spit you out. They just can't see it. We have family that are doing all these wonderful JW things too. They are still young. Boy are they going to be surprised when they are still here in the 60-70's or 80's and they are broke, have pissed through all of their money and Watchtower is done with em.
and what other verbal nonsense did you ever hear as a one-liner to defend / promote 'the truth'.
Oh the JW's have such snappy comebacks. They are adorable!
i haven't posted for quite a bit, decided to share my thoughts on this one, so it is a reference topic for anyone who decides to return back to the org, knowing all about the tatt.
being way for quite long for almost 15 years and all wt's activities, i have missed quite a lot including the "new light" latest updates, i found it quite hard to follow up what was going on to the meetings.
new songs, wt broadcast, videos, internet (so wt now is in favor of the internet) cartoons, and everything seemed completely new and weird to me.. reason for going back it was the severe pressure from close family members to return back to the "truth".
Once you know TTATT you can NEVER go back!
isn't it unbelievable that a jehovah's witness must accept whatever the organization says or they can be disfellowshipped??
unless they tell you that their understanding has changed, you cannot believe anything unless they say it's ok. .
many years ago i questioned them about their ridiculous view that whenever the word "heart" was mentioned, it was a literal blood filled organ.
A true sign of a cult!
