  I think it is easier to get into the FBI then becoming a pioneer. Rules, Rules and more rules. Only the "exemplary" may apply (or at least look exemplary). Spiritual by day a prescription drug abuser by night. lol

  He must be exemplary (God...I hate that word).

  Non "exemplary" brothers (the ones who get less than 10 hours in and can't seem to tow the WT line) can clean the toilets, clean the KH, come to the spring clean up, take the speaker out to lunch and donate for "kingdumb interests." Even though we have been taught that every task within the org is an equal "priviledge." Brothers who can't cut the mustard will have to sit out on "holy privileges."

  I have always told my spouse that if the put a dirty toilet on the stage, during the assembly, all the Brothers would be rushing to the stage to clean it. It's all about "being seen." "Ok, looser Brothers, you can do the dirty tasks but we can't USE YOU for the important tasks."

  WHAT A CLUSTER! There are 4 people in this family that can not be "USED" anymore! We voted with our feet and our wallet! Happier than ever!

  Don't forget David. He was "Jah's friend." He was a murderer & stole another mans wife. Lot's wife turned and looked at her stuff. So let me get this straight...Jah spared murderous/wife stealing David but Lots wife turned around and BAM...DEAD. Makes sense. lol

  i've been lurking for about 3 months now and thought i'd better finally sign up.

  you have all been an immense help to me as i have come to realize that this isn't the truth so i want to say a great big thank you!

  what a crazy, emotional ride it is to finally face the truth about the doubts that i have carried for many years.

  "We had big plans for the future and wanted to leave the past where it was."

  Our thoughts exactly. Thank you for your comments above. I believe it was one of the most up building and well thought out posts.

  My spouse and I are on the same page you are. Move forward, enjoy life (it truly is short and fragile).

  Thank you again!

  JW's And Yoga

  by pale.emperor in

  this was partly discussed in this thread: https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4853755331739648/these-common-jw-beliefs?page=2#!#5701815683252224 but i wanted to delve into the topic of yoga even further.. it seems watchtower have no clue what yoga actually is, or what it can achieve.

  i myself dont practice yoga, but i do meditate and see the benefits of that.. here is an artical from watchtower 2002 with my commentary:.

  "As far as books for children, they have pretty much given up recruiting adults so they need to stay current with new exciting stuff....or at least new."

  Yes...the adults are not falling for it anymore so they have to go after the born ins. It's the only hope WT has (until those little ones figure out it's BS...most likely when they turn teen). People are leaving and dying, it's there only option. Door to door and cart witnessing are not working. Too many people are Googling Jay dub ya dot org and finding out the truth. IT'S A CULT!!!

  WT picks and chooses what it addresses. If they don't want to address it, they will sweep it under the rug and call it apostate lies. The interesting thing is, most of the followers believe WT. It is easier for the rank and file. Someone to tell you how to act and think.

  "The Watchtower cannot stand it when they see people enjoying a normal life like getting married, having children, traveling, hobbies and the most evil.....having a college education."

  You got it! When WT see's anything or anyone receiving the attention they feel they should be getting, they tighten the screws. Well...I don't think everyone is listening anymore. This is why the Loyalty assembly and the Don't give up assembly have been designed. WT is loosing it's grip! It's a good thing. It's always fun to watch the enemy sweat.

  So much WT has told us to do....no kids, no education, what kind of house to live in, where to work, who to marry, the list goes on and on.

  Glad we didn't listen to WT, we would have NOTHING!

  Outraged After Watching The May 2017 Broadcast

  ok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.

  all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.

  just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.

  WT only helps those if they can get a photo op and your insurance money. When we were going through a tough financial time a few years ago. Did anyone in the KH even ask if we were ok? Just our service group overseer who was assigned to us. The rest of the body of Elders? Not one single word, no encouragement what so ever. We were not looking for money or anything, just a lousy word of encouragement. This is what initially caused us to hit the exit. Then we learned TTATT. Once you learn that, there is no way you can return.
