They NEVER go beyond the things written.
They decide the things written.
See the newly edited NOO New World Translation - THEY get to decide what was written, and make cuts as they see fit.

Going Beyond the Things Written.
by integ ini went to the meeting today.
i go probably once a month for various reasons i have alluded to here.. .
i don't know what the title of the talk was, since i pulled my usual come in 5 minutes late, muster a fake "i'm mildly embarrassed" look on my face and slip in the back row move, but the crux of it was to not go 'beyond the things written'.. .

When you bring your lunch, bring along extra's to feed others
by Quarterback inlast week's service meeting had brought out the experience in the 2013 yb about sharing their lunch with someone in the audience, who didn'y have anything.
although i beleive this to be a good idea, but, i couldn't help but think how things had changed.
the society wasn't playing by that same principle of hospitality, when they had the food arrangement at the assemblies.

We AALL use too much toilet paper at the kingdumb hell and A$$emblies.
TAKE IMMODIUM, diocalm, or morphine to stop the action until you get home... or dont eat five hours before a meeting.

Frazzled - these very clear memories of things that did not happen are called Screen Memories - usually covering some other unpalatable thing.
Some body brought up Freud. He did not deny that child abuse happened - the Viennese police records of the period prove otherwise.
However in specific cases in his writings, cases such as the Wolf Man, Little Hans, Dora, the Rat Man, and others, he established that it would have been impossible in the circumstances - hence the new theory of Screen Memory. His critics go from these PARTICULAR cases, and extrapolate to the GENERAL, when Freud was only discussing one kind of suppression/distortion mechanism.
In other cases he openly admits discusses the unacceptable sexual behavior of adults towards his patients in childhood.
In some cases a screen memory can stand for a repressed memory of abuse as in the monotonous " somewhere a child is being beaten on its bare bottom", other times a clarinet is just a clarinet, despite the protestations.

What's the Watchtower's View of Dedicating Your Time To Charity? Food-bank, Helping Poor Get Benefits, Big Brother, ect..
by RottenRiley indo you know of anyone who sucessfully dedicated time to charity without getting bad mouthed by witness elders?
we had a sister in creepside congregation who got a lot of lip when she was working for the food bank for free.
the jehovah's witnesses elders hinted, used the watchtower study to say "jehovah's people are ambassadors to satan's world and know the real solution is god's kingdom".

i remember in the days of the Book Study, the doorbel went, and there was a charity worker collecting for Ethiopian Famine Relief.
The brother opened the doo and said:" As jehovahs Witlesses we do not contribut money to charity. Now excuse me we are in the middle of a Bible Study."
Bet that caller never took the Witchtower again!!!!

I had abusive treatment as a kid.
Most of the time I say to myself "It's 40 years away now, those people are DEAD and can never hurt me again." And yes I have moved on - but sometimes... sometimes you get a flashback, and it is like being dragged right back there. I cannot watch "Good Will Hunting" without ending up a wreck.
Truly, you can move on, and rise above it MOST of the time.
A scar is a scar is a scar. If somebody broke your back as a child and you ended up crippled, who could say "get over it and walk, you weakling?" yet that is the kind of thing my mother does,and about others she hears about.
But she can still harp on and on about her ex (of 40 years!!!!)
As for the police being part of Satans System: This means that Satan wants to show care and healing love and justice to the victims - Who then looks worse here? The self appointed representatives of God on Earth or these evil people wanting to put things right if possible?
Nothing feels worse than having your reality denied by the very people you should be able to turn to. That why i got sick of the WT, it merely enhanced my sense of non- being and unreality.

SOOO God named CYRUS in prophecy, but why not the 8 Popes?
by hamsterbait inpresumably since jehoobie and his bit-part side-kick jesus (according to witchtower litterature) knew that the gibbering buddies would be the same as the farting and displeased slave, why couldnt he have just put their names in the babble so nobody on the planet could be in any doubt as to who he is using in this 21 century... (and that is another story you might like to comment on).
after all they claim that cyrus was named, hundreds of years before.
(dont you think it more likely the scribes put his name in, after the conquest, to persuade him to grant their requests??).

What is it with teens/adults and dependency on everyone else?
by punkofnice ini've seen a lot of this lately here in the uk, where teens and young adults still depend on their parents when they live away from home.. some just don't seem able to earn enough.
some are on benefits.
some earn more than me and are in debt.

The idea of single working class children moving out and living their own life is modern. Most people stayed at home, sharing a bed with at least one sibling until they couild afford to get married, and even then a lot of working class couples lived with their in laws or parents.
Plus accommodation is now much dearer in real terms and young peoples wages cannot always stretch to that.
AND frankly what IS wrong with a family all pulling together and depending on each other? Who else should be there for us?
Jehovahs witlesses often throw their kids out on the street. They have no real sense of FAMILY. (They define a family as a husband and wife - forget your cousins, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunties - especially if they dont buy the cult)
And I agree that we didnt start out with much. When I got my first tiny apartment, I slept on the floor, did my weekly wash in the bath, walking up and down over the clothes (Icouldnt afford a w. machine, or to pay at the laundromat) I cooked on a one ring electric hob, slept on the floor, and used fruit crates to put things in instead of shelves.

A few years ago I tried to instigate a "no panties at the meeting day in February."
Didnt catch on - but it would be a secret sin, like wearing tight tight underwear under your suit.

Oh and note the quote:
"The FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE HAVE PUBLISHED"
So in the Victoria Australia case, the Witchtower Babble and Trash Sucks-ciety were DELIBERATELY lying, when they said the FDS does not exist (eliciting gasps from the observers).
But then they also in the same hearing denied the "Christian Congregation of jehovahs witlesses" exists, despite the header on this letter.
