  well my son (he's pimi) came to me the other day and asked if i could make a bookcase with hidden spaces built into it.

  i asked him what for?

  he said that they were encouraged to start thinking of and preparing for persecution and hide literature.

  Fear mongering works well. You should see our JW family deal with the "evil world." They can't! They are scared of everyone!! Sad!!!

  Remember The Green Song Books

  by new boy in

  then new and improved purple song books that came out in 1966. then there was the brown song book and a even newer one in 2006. .

  thousands of hours wasted singing those stupid songs and their stupid lyrics.. song 106 "watch how we walk and watch we talk.

  i remember inserting different works in the lyrics to relive the boredom.

  How about "those bees that were molested." WTF?

  and "stimulate our Brothers to hail the first born too" (something like that). Sorry, I don't want to stimulate the Brothers!!! lol

  Yep...stupid songs.

  Does home schooling really work?

  by eyeslice2 in

  1. jw

  it strikes me that 'home schooling' is something often favored for jw kids, i've come across a number of families that do just that lately.

  and, that got me thinking, is this just a cop out for a proper education?.

  i am sure it is pretty difficult for a home schooled kid to get into a good university to study something like law or medicine.

  If it is done correctly. In the state we live in, it is a big thing. They have groups who home school and these groups get together for events and field trips.

  I think when some JW's do it, it is solely done to keep the kid out of the "world." If the child is in a dangerous area or is miserable, it can be a good alternative. Some JW children who are so protected can go batshit crazy, once they are let out of the "JW cage." We have seen this happen. Parents have to remain VERY involved.

  Home schooling was not a alternative for us. Our kids have turned out fine and have learned how to deal with everyday life and different personality types. Kids have to learn to function.

  It's time

  2. friends

  we got a call from close jw family, that it is now time to visit the kingdom hall again because armagedon is a question of a few months.

  now it will happen in a very close time, the brothers say so, was the message.. i had earlier the feeling that jw's think the time has arrived because what they say and what they do, work like mad men with their chart every weekend.. so the expetations are high.. gorby's wife replied "how do you know, you should not know day and hour".

  stay alert was the reaction.. so sad and so stupid.. g. .

  i have just had the opportunity to read a hard copy of the awake no3 2018 entitled "help for those who grieve".

  wtf?.

  it really is appalling in its glaring omission of any recommendation to see a professional grief counselor!

  WT doesn't want anyone to look outside the box. No therapist's or educators. Their afraid they will tell their members that they are in a cult full of BS.

  • "Way to go Watchtower - "apostates" don't have to do anything to "weaken the faith" of your followers. You yourself are pissing all over your own."

  "The point is it creates an environment where it’s members can mix and mingle."

  Yes, normal people would find that great. WT is not normal. How many churches/organizations make videos about masturbating with your pillow? WT is obsessed with sex and bad mouth everything non JW. Even higher education. Who does this? WT thinks anytime people get together they want to have sex with one another and drink heavily. They have made everything outside of WT walls evil and now we wonder why the young don't want this cult anymore.

  They mention the scripture about "not even mentioning these things" but yet they mention them more than anyone else. lol
