And we wonder why these guys think they are something special. I wouldn't trust these "men" to haul my trash out, much less take my problems to them.

31Try Not To Vomit When You Read Todays Text
by pale.emperor intuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.
5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.
this is especially true of the elders who are taking the lead.

Victor French (Mr. Edwards on Little House on the Prairie) had this done at his funeral. Great idea. I think I will have this done at mine. It sure would make some smile!
"At his funeral, his humorous farewell for friends and family was "Eat Shit, Love Victor," a message displayed overhead by an airplane."

"Wondrous expansion is now taking place!"
by stuckinarut2 inso we have all heard the worldwide reports about khalls being sold off and congregations being amalgamated etc.... of course, jws are being told that these actions are a sign of "just how much the work is progressing, and how jehovah is blessing the increase and expansion!".
i can share the following from my part of the world too!.

Maybe they will sell the KH to a church. They sold our KH to a church. Interesting thing....I can not enter a church for a wedding, funeral, etc. or do business with a church but WT can sell a KH to a church. You just can't make this stuff up!!!!
The hypocrisy is staggering!!!

Why are the GB and JWs scared of "apostates" and "research"? Romans 8: 35-39
by stuckinarut2 ini was just pondering this passage of scripture:.
romans 8:35-39 (new world translation).
35 who will separate us from the love of the christ?+ will tribulation or distress or persecution or hunger or nakedness or danger or sword?+ 36 just as it is written: “for your sake we are being put to death all day long; we have been accounted as sheep for slaughtering.”+ 37 on the contrary, in all these things we are coming off completely victorious+ through the one who loved us.

GB....follow the money.
The rank and file are afraid of anything anti WT. Most are so detached from the "real world", it is hard to function and they become misfits. Our family has NO "worldly experience." No 8-5 job dealing with others that are non JW's. They are comfortable with WT telling them how to think and what to think. It's just easier for them. They are scared of their own shadows and anything "worldly" is petrifying. Sad but true!

Marriage Proposal in the Kingdom Hall
by Listener injust when you think you've seen it all comes another interesting use of a kingdom hall.a young man serenades his girlfriend with a song (possibly a watchtower song) from the stage through a microphone and backed by recorded music.
then he steps off the stage and gets down on one knee and proposes as he pulls out a ring from his coat pocket.
the large projector screen flashes up behind them with a picture of a sapphire and diamond ring.cameras capture the joyous moment as she accepts and they lock together in a loving hug.

We were not even allowed to play a "worldly" song at our wedding without a disapproving look. I guess if they are line dancing at the Kingdom Halls and playing rock music and dancing at the Assembly Halls now, why not.
My two cents....they should have just said their vows right then and there. They had everyone there and were at the KH. Sure would have saved a lot of money. lol

Regarding this so called judgment message..
by nowwhat? inwill our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!
" or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!
ask any jdub that question!.

WT has used this tactic for years. I believe they use it to keep all the dubbies in line. You should hear how fearful some of our relatives are of things like this.
Just another cult tactic!

Satan is "bullying" you through family
by neat blue dog injust thought i'd share this ridiculous picture from a recent watchtower.
in recent years, the word bullying has been thrown around a lot, and often misused by instigators and subtle bullies themselves.
in this picture we learn that your loving family who wants to continue sharing a family tradition with you, who hands you a beautifully wrapped present with a smile on their face, is in fact bullying you.

This is funny!!! Someone is trying to do something nice by giving the JW a gift and that is "Satan being a bully." The stories that I could tell (and many on here could tell too) about Elders and CO's downright bullying members that they are supposed to be "shepherding."
Countless talks from the GB that were downright bullying and insulting (remember the 23 yr old MS talk?). That was a direct insult and bullying from Anthony Morris. A shameful talk that should have NEVER been given. The list goes on and on.
What a disgusting/corrupt/abusive cult we were once a part of!
