back in the nineteen seventies hundreds of cars were stolen, in the city every day!

the new york post said "the average life span of a corvette stingray (sports car) parked on the street in new york was only 24 hours!".

one time driving back from rhode island at 2:00 a.m. i took a wrong turn in the south bronx’s.

The Dub At My Door (is back for Return Visit)

by TerryWalstrom in

the dub at my door ___________________i’d rather have a root canal than agree to a sit down with an active jehovah’s witness.i’m an ex-jw.

for good reason.

fool me once....i’m an activist and an author of a book or two exposing and vilifying the destructive jw cult organization.yet i agreed.

And let me add that i was taking notes... ive done my share of reverse proselytizing and wanted to compare tactics. I like the angle of separating the cultiest from the source of authority. That was for me the final straw, realizing the “circle of delusion” that kept me was exactly the same as a muslium or hindu etc etc

Will hurricane Harvey infuse the WTBT$ with more money? Or cost them more money?

by exjwlemming in

in the past, i have known many brothers that had trekked down to the southern us to perform relief work on behalf of the wtbt$.

they return as heros.

they shared the repairing and rebuilding of kh and the property of fellow believers.

What magnum said x2. It wont cost them a dime. They will profit on the generous spirit of dubbies who want to help those effected by the storm

Faces on TV Broadcasting

by TheFadingAlbatros in

i agree that being photogenic is not given to every ordinary mortal.

.

but when at the beginning of every new month i am confronted with the various faces of those males showing off as a priority on tv-jw (see jw broadcating september 2017), i am asking myself if i honestly am faced with normal people, or with people who went mental already since ages ago.. is it maybe due to the fact that the majority of them already do not feel anymore like belonging to ordinary mortals ?

Not different. At all.

chapter 28. my dollar car .

your only true free time was saturday afternoons & evenings if you weren’t working a second job that is.

so on saturday many bethelites would take the train up to times square and seventh avenue and walk around looking for a good movie to go to.

_Morpheus

My god again the memories... that was something that contributed greatly to the feeling of prison, the complete feeling of being stuck with no way out. They could throw open the door and say “go at your leisure” and there was no where to go... we used to walk to fulton mall and try to catch a movie.. we would stand and watch the bootleg movies playing across the street for free... slave labor and zero free time but hey it was the house of god :/ jesus that experience shaped my life in ways i may not even have realized.

Solomon's gold mines called a myth but there's one so-called prophecy that always makes me stop and think

by Isambard Crater in

the authenticity of the old testament account of solomon is being called into question in the news media:.

http://www.christianpost.com/news/king-solomons-fabulous-hidden-gold-mines-are-a-myth-historian-says-194663/.

for the most-part, i don't really want to believe the bible as true, certainly not the j.w version including their stubbornness over 607 and 1914. but there's one prophecy that always makes me stop and wonder if maybe some of the bible was inspired by god, if he or she exists.

With regard to that image and the wt interpretation... dont let confirmation bias sway you. The world has never been governed by one sole super power. There have always been ‘super powers’, if you will excuse the turn of phrase. But never one sole world government. That statue could apply to any time in world history if you want to take that view of it.

Will YOU Ever Leave The Watchtower Org.?

there is usually a metamorphosis that takes place for a person to leave the jehovah's witness religion.

most people do not just up and go simply because they realize this could not be the truth.

it often takes time.. for those that go to meetings or engage in the ministry, will you forever continue doing these things, knowing that it is all bs?

_Morpheus

“Son”? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh dear lord. We have officially jumped the shark. You have said nothing and made no arguments not even bothered to counter one single thing i have said. I leave you to your self righteous pontificating. Arguing with a fool and all that....

Clearly you are indeed a buffoon if you cant comprehend how that works. Is there some microchip in elders heads thats causes them to explode if they speak something contrary to wt doctrine? Again, why does it have to be some binary A or B situation? I absolutely spoke against stupid org rules all the time.

And on ray franz, funny that his crisis of conscience coincided with being thrown off the GB and eventually DF’d. For decades prior to that, when by his own admision he smelled something funny, he continued to serve in various capacities. Im not chastising him, simply pointing out that one dosent one day realize TTATT and immediately walk away. Its a process.

When is the line, on wise one? When does it become too long, in your ever so wise and estimable view, for one to serve adter realizing TTATT? A day? An hour? Should one peruse this web site for 45 min, have questions and then call the local BOE and tender their resignation?

How long did it take you?

How cute that you refer to my reasoned and articulate response as indicative of “anger issues”. Your response shows your trade mark drive by topic starting, a mere throwing of a topical hand grenade and then driving away without a thought as to what you said or why.

perhaps you could actually adress what i said instead of trying to deflect... a tall task i admit but worthy discussion does require some effort.

Your parting shot in your previous post is laughably stupid and so stupidly binary as to be unworth addressing, however i suspect im obligated to respond after my previous defense of elders who havnt stepped down quickly enough for your liking..

your statment

“If you want to remain an elder or whatever, it's your decision because you have to live with yourself when you have to tell someone they cannot have a blood transfusion knowing full well that it's all a lie. Sleep well!”

not that you actually asked but i am not an elder. I got out of that and havnt been to a cult meeting in almost two years, thank the Thunderer.

As to your foolish attempt to shame (?) or make a point... so being an elder who has figured out the truth about the truth automatically means i would have had to have supported the orga blood policy...? Are you that simple minded? I would have and did tell people to use good judgment and accept every option offered to save their live. Thankfully i never knew anyone who needed blood but i absolutely was prepared to tell them one on one to take the goddamn blood and then either deny it or ask for forgiveness.

Your ‘example’ is narrow minded and indicitive of typical witness like thinking, either A or B and no other options.

Live your live as you see fit and i promise not to say a word or care in the least. Dont tear down others struggles.
