  Is Stephen Lett an alien imitation?

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i've been watching quite a bit of gb member stephen lett on youtube recently (no, i'm not thinking of going back to the jws).. i just find him compulsive viewing, like when people slow down to see a car crash.

  i find his facial expressions and intonation spell-binding.. it reminds me a bit of john carpenter's the thing, a film where an alien life-form infects a host and imitates it, spreading throughout camps of remote workers in the antarctic.

  if i were a bethelite living in close proximity to lett, i'd be thinking about giving him the blood test to see if he was normal, lol.. why does lett speak in public the way he does?

  I got myself in at about 14 years of age and got df'd at 21. That's 8 years in total but they were the most formidable ones of my life.

  Why is Trump so effective???

  by Coded Logic in

  1. social

  i think trump is an absolute idiot.

  his tactics, however, are undeniably effective.

  thought i'd just put together a short list of some of the things he does.

  Anyone who understands Trump's personality will realize that people like him will erode our system of checks and balances if given the chance.

  What are some things JWs re-name to make themselves different than Christians?

  by NikL in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  jws re-name things so they seem like they are different than other religions.

  (of course we know they are different but that's another story).

  i was just thinking about those things where they are like most everyone else in christendom but the re-name it to seem different.. for example god forbid they have a church, it's a "kingdom hall".. they don't have pastors and deacons they have "elders" and "ministerial servants".. they don't have tithing but they will have family heads fill out a paper saying how much they can contribute on a monthly basis (not sure if there is a name for that...unless it's tithing.

  They say podium not pulpit.

  They say information board not bulletin board. That's because the word bulletin derives from the Latin "bulla" which originally meant a papal edict.

  i have some tricks to play.

  i know it may sound childish but i feel that creating havoc and forcing the memorial to be postponed will be the highlight of the night!

  wish me luck!.

  What's your degree of anti-JWness?

  by Landy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is absolutely pro-jw, 5 is neutral and 10 is youtubing nutjob apostate, where do you stand?.

  i'm probably around a 6. i have the view that jws are a nothing marginal religion.

  if i hadn't been brought up as one i doubt they would have ever entered my consciousness.. the reasons it's a 6 and not a 5 is that i have some concerns over their child baptism and safeguarding procedures, but i think it's down to them being a bit dim rather than any pro child abusing ethos.

  I'm a 9. To me a 10 would be someone who dedicates himself 24/7 to anti-witnessing.

  Back in the 1980s I distributed my own self-made anti-Witness flyers in a neighborhood 90% filled with JWs. It was only when they got under my skin though.
