on one hand, wtbts blame you if you choose to work instead of pioneering, and on the another hand, they ask crazily amount of money!.
isn't it paradoxal ?.
if every jw leave his job and pioneer, no more money!.
Conventions were their sales seminars and donations were huge at these affairs
It makes me remember of one thing : All the time, the sunday morning at convention, when they was telling the money received, it was negative. I don't remember a single time, when the account was positive!
i think one of the more evil trick of the wtbts is their manicheism!.
on a large bunch of subjects, they wants the fellow followers to believe that in a given situation, it is only possible to take two choice, of course, diametrically opposite.
and of course, you have the good choice and the bad choice.. of course, nothing is more wrong than that!
Its so strange how you can be in a cult but not realize it until you're on the outside looking back in.
Not really. The person who are in a given situation, are rarely the more clever about this situation!
when you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?
how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!
when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?
The Bible or god has nothing to do with the watchtower(tm).
and vice versa!
as with the scribes and pharisees, there are a number of unwritten rules that witnesses are supposed to follow.
here's a couple : "worldly" kids in society depictions are shown quite often wearing their baseball caps backwards.
jehovah's witness youths would not want to imitate that "look".
Never understood that erroneous male answer thing
Another proof of the fact that religion comes from the brain of human males and not from God...
am i the only one who has single, desperate sisters in the congregation?
they tend to be holier-than-thou, frumpty, but in private talk about getting married.
but they don't understand why no brother will look at them.
I think the same way than Designer Stubble.
I don't see that fact funny at all. At contrary It makes me cry. So many lifes lost. So many young girls and guys who will never know what's real life. So many girls and guys who never experienced what their body have to offer. So many bodies who feel guilty to act like bodies.
In that, JWs are as dumb as muslims...
That's sad. Very sad.
i am in a spiritual void at the moment after a year out of the borg and 50 years in.. i'd like to hear 'brief' evidence for the existance or non existance of god/s without an argument between members here.. i'd like to get fresh view points as mine is now so critical it's telling me to be an agnostic or atheist.
why?
i am in want of evidence, not just words from a copy/paste troll & no links.. i just want to open up to new possibilities but with evidence to support it not just 'faith'..
First I was a JW... and I left this bullshit cult
After I stay christian... and I left this muthafuckin guilty philosophy
After I stay just religious ... and I left this fairy mind behind
Now I'm free... I'm so free, I think I'm flying!
because of the may broadcast about how funds are down, our elders have been in their talks "encouraging" or pressuring everyone to donate more to the world wide work.. it freaks me out how we already give them a set amount of $600 a month, plus what is contributed by the congregation(usually $400 to $500 a month).
heck, our local congregation bank account even got below $500 for the first time this past may since i have been doing the accounts(4 years now).
for june, we raised a whopping $2400 to send into the branch.. the most amazing part, is that only a select few contribute on a regular basis every month.
ass kissing elders
great pleonasm!

"everytime you want to do something think at what jesus would have done at your place".
every one already heard that once, i'm sure.. what's funny and i always dreamt to do, but never had the courage, it's to take the box where you put contributions and throw it at the ground to break it.
elders : "what are you doing?".
main expenses are "Donations"
Donation to Brooklyn...
