luna2,

So, Pole, this "friend" probably thinks if she can just get your wife to the spiritual banquet (in reality more like a dry, stale peanut butter sandwich), she will see the error of her ways. I think she was smart to skip it.

No fear. I guess their problem is that they view my wife as 'spiritually weak' while she is actually completely deprogrammed. There is no way a believing dub can comprehend how such a sweet and good-hearted person as my wife can consciously reject "THE TRUTH" with a smile on her face. We have a total communication breakdown here :-).

'Sisters' sometimes call my wife and try to talk her into going out in field service and when she says 'no, thank you', they say 'oh, you're busy?'. She then goes 'no, it's just that I've decided I won't preach or go to the meetings anymore'. Then they say: 'So has anything wrong happened?'. 'No, I'm just fine'. She laughs, they cry.
It's easier for them to categorize me as I have often grown a beard, and I'm now growing long hair since leaving the truth. Plus I am too honest with them and thus 'spiritually dangerous'. So I'm a mad demon-possesed apostate :-). Easy to rationalize.

I can't see how the dubs still talk about the signs of the end after the 1995 generation change where they basically admitted that the 1914 generation was not the final one but one just like any other. This now supposedly symbolic generation of 1914 could go on for a very long time. They are the ones that are really blind.

Come on, greendawn. How could you forget the sweet taste of the Watchtower booze of a doctrine which soothed all worried hearts and helped to vilify the evil system of things? There is a short-term benefit to believing the crap the WTS offers. The end is just round the corner, so we don't have to think, vote or solve the world's problems. Dubs are TRUTH-oholics. Most of them don't care anymore about specific dates. Very few actually think about the factual value of their beliefs. They just keep parroting 'it really has to be close now, seeng that...' you name it.
Only those who see that the Watchtower doctrine is just a kind of booze have the guts to leave. And this usually happens when one suffers serious side effects of overdosing the liquor. In most cases the main side effect is a pathetic waste of one's lifetime. Millions of now living Truthoholics have died happily intoxicated believing they'd have been ressurected by now :-). Looks like millions more are following suit. I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for the summary.

there was also a special talk to those who are now inactive. they suggested that we inactive JWs would still believe in all there sh't. don't know where they got that from.

Do you remember when this talk was given? Around the same time as the drama? I'm asking because my wife was invited by her dub ex-friend to see the drama. My wife has been inactive for the last 10 or 11 months. She didn't go knowing there would be the usual crap and ducking the real issues, but I'm wondering if this invitation was just a spiritual warfare trick to get her to hear this talk for 'inactive ones' or something similar.

.

in one thread it said something said that dodos were wiped out in noah's flood.. did anyone say something absurd,stupid or just plain silly?.

Pole

Ya, one idiot said that Jehovah will never allow humans to explore "deep space" like on Star Trek because He meant for man to live only on the earth............

One of my dub friends loved to argue space exploration by dub-space-shuttles built by the new world society and approved by the new heavens will be regulated in the NEW_SCROLLS_TM.

The Governing Body's hidden agenda

by greendawn in

jw
friends

the gb have a manifest agenda that they present to the world regarding their intentions and policies.

however they also a have a hidden agenda which spells their real intentions and policies.

to mention an example they say that the jw kids should not attend university because it is pointless in view of the end soon, the risks of fleshly temptations and loss of eternal life, the god blessed pioneering work is a better way to spend their time etc.
