Weekly Scripture Twist - aka the Watchtower Study

by doubtfull1799 in

“more than material assistance, refugees need spiritual and emotional support.

(matt.

4:4) elders can help by obtaining literature in the language of the refugees and by helping them contact brothers who speak their language.

"Let those hungry refugees chomp down on a few magazines and tracts. That'll help em! "

We found out when we were still in that these asshats won't assist you in good times. How the hell are they going to help you in difficult times? They can't even encourage you verbally, much less physically.

Ask a JW to help you move or float you a couple of bucks and you'll see them burn rubber out of the parking lot. We actually experienced this first hand. It pushed us to continue our search in "something is just not right." Now we know "what is just not right."

we have a laid off bethelite with an engineering degree!

by nowwhat? in

this guy have been at bethel for 25 years when he could have been making 75-100 thousand a year as an engineer.

so they kick him to the curb so they don't have to house him and his wife anymore.

they run into a problem at warwick and they ask him to come back for 3 weeks.

Watchtower are professional users and abusers.

Stupid is as stupid does. Some are so desperate to maintain that WT acceptance. It defines everything they are. These are the ones WT wants. Gullible and desperate for acceptance.

Stonewalling and the Governing Body

by UnshackleTheChains in

why do the gb stonewall individuals with legitimate questions.

for example, they refuse to speak to investagative journalists like trey bundy, unless they happen to get caught somewhere walking about in the street by chance.. i remember the panorama documentary 'suffer the little children' where the presenter tried to arrange an interview with one of the gb.

i can't remember if the gb either refused or simply didn't reply.

ToesUp

One word...cowards. They wrote all kinds of info on Russia but nothing about the Australian Royal Commission. They don't want to be caught off guard. GB member Jackson did enough damage when he made his presumptuous statement. WT doesn't want that to happen again. They don't want the rank and file to see behind the curtain. Too bad for WT that people are looking behind it anyway.

Why do ones that got out come back in?

by moreconfusedthanever in

i have not been to a meeting for about 2 years now.

i do not intend to go back but one thing has me baffled.

why do ones that have faded and been out for years return?

ToesUp

"The good far outweighs the bad."

Sorry...I respectfully have to disagree. I have always told my spouse, "when there's more wrong than right in the org, I'm outta there." Don't knock it til ya try it. Lol Much much happier and content than ever.

In WT land you have instant "friends." These "friends" will drop you like a bad habit as soon as you don't tow the WT line. Not worth it!

The typical JW brag fest. Post pics of your little Uber's. JW mindset, "my uber kid is much more spiritual than your uber kid." We've seen it a million times over the years.
