in an effort to show that they had put on a 'new' personality, many who joined the wtbts would adjust their speech patterns to avoid common expressions of cursing or profanity.
yet there would still arise times when they would become frustrated, angry or disgusted at someone or at a situation, and wish to express their feelings.
here are a couple of substitutes for cursing heard among jws ...... forget you.
They will be "born again as bird dung" or they'll make "good born again bird food".When Born again Christians reject the 'kingdom message' that JW's bring to their home.
"Crank it" for F**K It. "Babylonish practices" for oral sex among married couples,heard that one in a public talk at the Campton New Hampshire Kingdom Hall. Give me more time i 'll think of some more...
http://www.lawfulmoney.com/nlm/_discjw/00000003.htm Kingdom Hall (Jehovah's Witnesses)
i have always wondered why it cost so much to "rent" the space used for local special assembly days and circuit assemblies.... in our case, the society built a large assembly hall, on donated farm land (= free), in the middle of some corn fields 20 miles outside of columbus, ohio... the property has a couple of apartments where some of the travelling overseers live, who help with the upkeep of the building.
cleaning the building was taken care of because of our "privilege" to go out the day before the assembly to get it in good shape (free housekeeping and maintenance work).. so, the society owns the building.
it was built on free land.
The BIGGIE they don't pay real estate taxes.I am politically active in my town of Bangor Maine USA (pop.31,000)
I given this some R+D.Bangor Maine is a regional service center we have a LOT of non taxed property.So,we know who pays what.None of the churches pay taxes including the Kingdom Hall.But they all contribute back to the community,some in a big way.Support for the homeless,food pantrys,soup kitchens etc.
The Watchtower with all it's wealth are drone parasites who pay no taxes and give nothing back.Not even ONE food pantry or soup kitchen.
Does the WT$ stash it all somewhere in an off shore bank account?
okay, so i've been trying to figure out what i can do to help jws out.
obviously, no one can force someone to think, but sometimes a thought-provoking question can get the gears turning.
so i hit upon this idea of placing ads in a weekly newspaper here in seattle.
I have tried several ways to disseminate counter-cult information.Look at my own site www.DannyHaszard.com
I started out with a bundle of money and donated to various 'apostate' works in progress back in the early 1990's.
Pre-Internet i used picket signs,bumper stickers and a 'squeal' letter to the tax authorities regarding the Watchtower's tax evasion.
I still spend a 'bundle' on my various operations.From my chair what I see as a most effective strategy,is for someone to come foreword and offer to pay for placed advertising on the various search engines.That's the next step with the most bang for the buck.
Whatever 'apostate' site is your favorite.

We use to sing song,"wiil you be alive post 75". 
The Watchtower Invented the deflection MEALY MOUTH protocol.I knew an elder in my old Rockland Mass.Kingdom Kall who gave lessons.We use to call him,"marbles mealymouth".
i?m due soon for a shepherding call from my congregation elders for a variety of reasons: being irregular in service, s poradically attending meetings, and o h yes, writing in a letter to the society asking for clarifications on the blood ban.
i?m sure that one question that they will be asking me is: d
o you believe that jehovah is using the organization as his only approved channel of communication?
If they threaten you,threaten them back with a LAW$UIT elders are scared stiff nowdays.If they had any idea how much damage Danny Haszard was going to inflict on them thay would never have DFed me.
They calculated cold and gambled that I would go off and drink myself to death,Big Backfire!
Danny sez:"$uing is better than stewing"
we all know the big problems with the wts, but what was the first thing that made you realise there were problems with the organisation ?
with me it was realitivly small stuff like an 8 year old getting baptised and a comment my best mates made about another of our friends asking if we should be hanging round with her as she might be bad assciation (she had just been reproved, but they had been mates 20 years).. .
how ever the first time i ever thought something was really wrong was when i was about 11 and my grand farther died, and mu mum wouldn't go to the funeral, i remeber thinking that surely it was better to say good bye properly than worry about if the service was in a church.. .
The 1975 fiasco failure because I was in the thick of it.I was there in 1967 age 10 when the'profitcy' was first proclaimed.I was there for the fallout,being strung along with the,"how long did it take Adam to name the animals,4 year extension?
In my final exit what clinched it,was how mean and malicious they are to each other.They are truly dog eat dog viscious,and demented.
My maternal devout JW grandmother was a jezebel psychopath,she was nefarious(wicked in the extreme).This was a woman who was our "Grammy" how could she have turned on her own children?She ate her young,even wild animals don't do that...
Why it took me so long to,"peek out of the cult cocoon and come to my senses".Was the 'stockholm syndrome'.It plays like this:Satan wants you to leave the 'truth'.So he will try every hook and crook,including turning your own family members against you.
since i was an active witness for so many years, i only recently discovered many beautiful gospel and spiritual songs.
can anyone tell me why jw's are so against singing any other songs than kingdom melodies.. .
most are just, well in a word bad.. i actually remeber when all of our songs were played on a piano by a tone deaf elders bethelite's wife.
I remember years ago,I threatened and elder who had abused a family member.I swore that I would;''shove the song book so far up his pompous ass,that he was gonna be farting kingdom melodies.''
can you imagine certain ones making it out of the religion, somehow, sometime?
?
| When Prophecies Fail A Sociological Perspective on Failed Expectation in the Watchtower Society by Randall Watters [cognitive dissonance] http://www.freeminds.org/psych/propfail.htm DANNY CALLS THIS CULT PHENOMENON; "JUSTIFICATION OF SOUR GRAPES". The hard line argument they have always had is:"Jehovah is STILL using this organization". No matter what this is STILL Jehovah's Organization. You got that right!

i have not seen any attempted 'debunking' of this shocking incident - or the belgian triangle many years ago.. the recent incident involving the mexican air force showed publically how contrary explanations are failing, as various.
'experts' suggested ball lightning, weather balloons, and anything else they could think of.
much the same happened.
The gospel accounts are loaded with supernatural events.Wherever Jesus and his crowd went they would encounter the demon possessed.It was readily recognized that these were blatant supernatural events. It is NOT recognized today.The mental health 'bible' DSM 4 has no provision for demonic possession. Does that mean that the demons are inhibited from manifesting themselves today?The demons are described as 'Misleading the entire inhabited earth".It's been suggested that the modus operandi of the demons is to impersonate the dead.To promote Satan's original lie;"You positively will not die". Sooo,it goes if the intent of the demonic realm is to mislead,maybe they are behind UFO manifestations. Either the demons exist or they don't.If they are real,one thing is for sure they are up to no good.

I was walking home from elementary school I was in 2nd grade age 7.Directly across from Forge pond on Union street East Bridgewater Massachusetts,
I was sitting outside on the grass outside the Montreal Canada convention center,when Fred Franz released the red "Life in the freedom of the son's of God" book and he elaborated on the 1975 end of the world date,it created quite a stir. I know Because I was there!
CRUEL BASTARDS How long did it take for Adam to name the animals? Remember that tid-bit? The end of the world fiasco failure of 1975 ....Sooooo, they strung us, and floated us along for another 4 years. With the intrigue of "how long it took for Adam to name the animals"? [ I was crippled with a loathsome chronic disease, (ulcerative colitis) and I was desperate to latch on to anything ]
