"And the reaction from jws: "Isn't Jehovah wonderful for giving us these amazing explanations?".
Exactly!
"Idiots"
Exactly on that one too!

25Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast
by sir82 inso in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.
restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.
applicant: that's insulting!

Yes...my spouse and I have accepted that the family (on spouses side) will NEVER change. It's something we just have to accept. We ask them to respect us as inactive and I guess we have to respect their beliefs as well. We tell them that it is just better to keep things as they are. We will talk about the weather, the family, the kids, etc. but not JW issues. We are not afraid to warn them that they may not like or agree with what we say. They seem to be fine with that.
My family, however, is a different story. Pushy, manipulative and abusive. Once they found out we are inactive...the jig was up. Good riddance to em!

KH dedication
by stan livedeath incorrect me if i'm wrong--.
when a new-build or existing property is acquired for use as a kingdom hall----is it still the custom to have a sort of "dedication to jehovah" type of service ?.

Our KH was sold to a church a few years ago. We can't enter a church for a wedding or to do work but WT can sell the KH to Babylon the Great. Really? The height of hypocrisy!
One of our family members will NOT enter a KH for any reason. Several family members (non JW's) had church weddings that she would not attend. It hurt feelings when she did not show up. The ironic thing is, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with WT selling our KH to a church. Weird!!!!

I had a text sent to me several years back...."so many at the assembly are asking about you."
Funny.....most of them have my cell number, yet I have never received any kind, loving communication from them. JUST EMPTY WORDS, NOTHING ELSE!!!

"Oh the blessings I receive when I contribute."
WT is trying to get the rank and file to "set it and forget it." Set your bank account to automatically take out a set amount every month.
WT is going to follow the 700 club "business model."
Our parents are rolling over in their graves.
WT has hit a new low!

New light!.....DFed without being DFed
by Tight Pants Twinkle Toes init now appears that the wt can df you just by marking you.

a marking talk was given at the mid-week meeting in which no names were mentioned yet a detailed description of the "offending bastards" was delivered so that there as no doubt who this "pond scum" might be.

Part of a quote I remember...."when a toxic person can not control you, they will control how others see you."
So true! I have had a family member (uber JW) try and do this to us. My attitude...who cares, I don't want to be around those ones who believe others sh*t anyways. We are spending our time in a more productive life after Watchtower.
When you bump into still in JW's who shun you, act as happy as you can be. Smile and act happy, that is what they hate most!!! It really pisses them off. After all, they are stuck in a cult, NOT ME!!! lol
