Liar, liar, pants on fire!!!

or do traces or attitudes still rear its ugly head of your past involvement with the witnesses?
I do. As many things I disagree with this Org, I still act and think as a JW.
Indoctrination runs deep.

lots of great potential to help those sp that are being sent off without any financial help from the wtbts.
i think that it would be a great way to get some exposure on this topic and how the wtbts thats those that dedicated their lives to the wtbts only to be sent packing at a late age.
then someone can take the funds to one sp couple, possibly, and give it to them in honor of the apostates that know what is really happening.
No. Serves them right for trusting blindly this man-made org.
This action will be good for our cause; now there will be more opposition and skepticism against this org.

the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".
7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.
for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.
This is horrible. HORRIBLE!!!

i'm reading an excellent book about defectors from the mormon church called differing visions: dissenters in mormon history.
through a collection of essays from many academic authors it looks at the life stories of dissenters and reasons for departure, as well as analysing the impact of their dissent on the church itself.
fascinating stuff and makes me wish there was a similar volume looking at the key dissenters from jws/watchtower and the impact they had.
Why are some so critical of JC (LE)?
Is it envy because I hear he is making a killing ($$$) at what started as mere WTBTS opposition?
Curious.

i wanna make a poll here.
how many years do you think the jdub cult will exist as is and what will happen to it?.
i say the growth stops this year and starts to decline.
I bet the WTBTS will outlive us all on this board at this time. Changing and evolving at each turn as time passes; sort of like the 'generation' change in 1995.
It will just change colors like a chameleon.

so a recent study says processed meats are just as dangerous as cigarettes when it comes to cancer.
the wtbs has had a long time stance that smoking is a df offense.
my question is if there's proof beyond doubt, why doesn't the wtbs make eating processed meats a df offense?.
Enjoy life. We will all die.

last night our congregation read a letter for the global assistance arrangement combined with the traveling overseer assistance arrangement.
the "recommended" amount was $15 per publisher, which was well over $1000 for our hall.. it seemed steep.
our congregation does not have this type of money.
And why the hell do they ask anyone opposed to raise their hand? As if it is going to change their already ordered resolution?
Mother Org already said we need $15 per publisher and that is what your resolution will be!
What a scam. Not a g-d red cent from me. Ever!!!

grew up in east la in a bad neighborhood to a black mother and white father.
i never knew my father because he died in a car accident when i was a few weeks old.
my mother converted as a jw soon after when two sisters came to her door and offered her comfort, which was something she needed.
Can you revive your musical career somehow?
I am sorry you got blackmailed like this.
Welcome to this board.
