  New David Splane Video: No 1900 Year Faithful Slave

  by FusionTheism in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  governing body member david splane has a new video on tv.jw.org where he talks about all the horrible things committed by martin luther and the protestant reformers.. his conclusion is that there has been no faithful and discreet slave on the earth during the past 1900 years (before 1919 i guess.).

  he also says that maybe there were a few anointed on earth, maybe not.. he did add an interesting statement that he doesn't condemn the other churches just for misunderstanding the bible because the society has done that.. another odd point, was that he actually mentioned catholic missionary work in a somewhat positive light, while totally condemning the reformation views on predestination..

  After way too many years(decades) of believing the GB, It seems that they have become apologetic to a point. They will never admit the extent of the harm their policies have wreaked on the sheeples but these days they have no choice but to admit to a very small responsibility of making wrong statements.

  In plain words........they want to appear sincere and cover their asses. As religion goes.....they don't have any more clue as to what's happening as the fundamentalist's belief that Jesus is about to come again. As my late father in law use to say......they are like the cat......full of wind piss and vinegar. I don't have a clue to what that ever meant but probably they are full of themselves.

  Now Even JW Men Are Going To Die At The Big A

  by OneFingerSalute in

  so this weekend there was a part about not following jesus at a distance.

  the speaker made a big point of stating that any baptized jw male who was not either appointed ms/elder, or at the very least "reaching out" actively, was in fact following jesus at a distance.

  he said that the only way to live through the big a was to follow jesus closely.

  I still can't believe I bought into the WT bullshit for over 30 years. Here I am 68 years old and happier than ever that I got the balls to walk away and salute them with my middle finger. Mental, emotional, psychological, and physical freedom is greater than winning the lottery (of course I would love to win the lottery and have no money worries).

  If you read my early posts, you will see that I was quite screwed up. Went through the "born again" experience" and was nasty to some posters. Now I am very mellow in my life of just being me. Don't quite know what I believe today but that is ok because I am happy. This JW religion is more than screwed (I prefer to use the F word but am trying to be nice) up.

  My Last thoughts in Field Service Before the Elderly Man Shat Himself and Pissed his pants in My New Car!

  by PokerPlayerPhil in

  debating this was going to be the last day in field service was not hard after dealing with a nasty mess because i was grouped with the misfits of the kingdom hall!

  i was reading this website on my phone while something started to stink in my car and one of the weird kids nobody wanted to work with yelled "hey, you leaking all over my seat, he was freaked out too!

  " the older, retired elder, his pioneer daughter had forgotten to put his depends on and that became my problem.

  I guess the worst bodily function experience for me was in the late 1970's. Had an elderly brother in the car group (my car) who everyone loved. He was in his 80's and grew up as a sharecroppers son in the south. He had to use a catheter and bag for his urine and as we stopped in front of a house in a nice upper middle class neighborhood, he said he needed to empty it. I wanted to take him to a nearby gas station but he said he'd just empty it there. Sure enough he opened the door and dumped it right on the street. I didn't know what to do but it was too late. I hoping no one saw him and would call the cops. Me and the other brothers my age had a good laugh about it later.

  Who are the people in JW TV videos?

  by HappyDad in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  out of curiosity, i have caught a glimpse or two of the "drama" style videos.

  are the ones in these televised "dramas" jw's or did they hire actors for the job?

  i can't see the average jw being able to do acting as good (if you will call it good) as some of these people.

  All I remember of the convention dramas many years ago was the over emoted and almost hilarious attempt at acting out the role.

  Years ago when I was an elder.......in one of my public talks.....I used the term "brown noser" and was severely chastised for it. Guess I was naive then and didn't realize that the brown on the nose was the shit from the CO and Do and PO's ass.

  Anyone......whether ex JW's or whatever who do things like this are nothing but assholes. And if you like what they do....then you are an asshole also!

  We all have suffered from this high controlled religion, but this is just idiocy.
