What a complete load of BS that one was!!

So Sophia can not be at the top of her class unless she cheats! Really WT? I guess kids can't be smart from hard work and study!!

This type of propaganda makes me sooooo happy we are out !!! Our kids are out too!!! Thank God!!!

The Wheels On The Bus ...

by Solzhenitsyn in

the wt for this upcoming sunday 10/07 is especially precious in its standard double speak.

aren't we so grateful to the f&ds who directly mediates our relationship with jesus christ and give us the food we need at the proper time?

i dunno....maybe i have anger issues with the the wt?.

ToesUp

Worried much WT? If rank and file members were not leaving, they would not print this. People are leaving. WT will still be around but will be a much smaller cult than before!

When you mix JW Bunker videos with drugs or prescription drugs, it can make an interesting car ride. JW nutters are a dime a dozen.

Funeral/Memorial at the Kingdom Hall ... Would you go?

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

let's say an aunt or uncle dies.

.

let's say you barely knew them.. let's say their memorial service was held at the kingdom hall.. let's say if you attend, you have to deal with shunning from family and jws, and you are forced listen to them present their paradise promotional materials, and the dead person's "earthly hope™", and let's face it ... the heeby-jeebies of having to be in a kingdom hall again.. would you put yourself through it?

ToesUp

No. I will never step foot into another KH! I cringe when I just drive by one.

Is attendance down in your location too?

i was commenting on another thread about how local kh attendance is down.

memorial attendance was also way down and the circuit assembly had hundreds less people than what is typical.

my jw family has even mentioned it.

ToesUp

"so I'm still aware of the spectacular increase of the "great crowd"

Yes, we are hearing the same thing from a full in/brainwashed family member. "You should see the increase." Our thoughts when he says it...."yeah right."

Legends in their OWN minds!!!

Study Watchtower confirms shunning spiritually weak. How nice!

by Isambard Crater in

it really hurt to hear brothers and sisters commenting about this at the meeting yesterday.. "as in solomon’s case, one of the greatest threats to spirituality is friendship with those who do not understand or respect jehovah’s standards.

some may be associated with the congregation but may be spiritually weak.

others could be relatives, neighbors, coworkers, or schoolmates who are not worshippers of jehovah.

ToesUp

Part of our very own family limits their association with us. They have for years. Even when we still attended. ONLY the most uber of the uber get invited to family events. Oh well, we are very generous gift givers and quite frankly very nice people! Their loss!!!!

Great topic to bring up StarryNight9. Thank you!!

We have been out for several years and are really hoping this cult takes a turn for the worse. It has really inflicted a ton of damage on our families over the years. I know there a so many more hoping the same thing!!!

WT has set up a us versus them attitude and is turning the heat up on this with the rank and file. They are looking more and more cult like everyday.

My message to them....there's the door don't let it hit ya in the ass!!! We don't want people in our lives who don't want to be there. We only want loving, kind and respectable people in ours. WT is very very worried that those "weak ones" are going to rub off on the rank and file. If that happens, more money will be walking out the door.
