i thought i'd relate my experience here.
can others relate to it?
does it sound familiar?.
Yeah - I remember the 1995 article. I had been expecting something along those lines since the 1993 tote talk at theDC. I got up every day for work, feeling queasy as I knew we had been hoodwinked, but didn't yet have the courage to stand up and admit to myself it's all a steaming crock.
The anger came later as I realised how my life could have been if I did it my way.
listen ... obey ... and be blessed!
has this become the official cult watchtower theme song?.
here is a video making the rounds on facebook.
Listen, obey or DIE. Thus sayeth the vicious psychopaths...
yay for me!.
please take a minute to visit my blog and leave your comments: benpogge.blogspot.com.
have a good one!.
Look at Transactional analysis on alcoholic scripts.
"Games people Play" - very interesting, psychiatrists who got alcoholics to drink sensibly were sacked, because they cured the disease, instead of helping them "make progress"
HMMM - sounds a bit like the addicts in the dubbie cult
i have become more observant at the last couple district conventions of jws faces and enthusiasm and it seems to be very somber.
i remember a couple of years ago i was an attendant at one of the upper sections at the blue cross arena in rochester, ny and in afternoon session at least half were curled up with their eyes closed, some with blankets.
the applause seems very forced and mechanical.
Try wandering the passages at Twickenham, London UK.
The attendants come up and ask, "are you alright, brother? Would you like to go back to your seat?"
I just said I had back problems and had to walk about to ease the PAIN...

based on this weeks congregation bible study in the "draw close to jehovah" book, jesus is not yhwh from what you read in prov.
8:22-32. unless there it is a hebrew word snafu - at least verses 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31 speaks of two people.. correct?.
If bruh22 was using YHWH in the JW way, then he is correct that the scriptures quoted show that the Father is not the Son.

Ah, it is dawning on me: are we using YHWH as the term for the Godhead, or in the way JW s use it as personal name for the Father, Jehovah, just as Jesus is the personal name for the Son?
i managed to catch the new dvd on youtube last night before the inevitable takedown.
as a film i felt it wasn't anywhere near as good as the prodigal movie, the story wasn't as dramatic, the characters much less interesting and developed and the direction weaker.
i found the prodigal relatively entertaining (all things considered) this one was just dull.. here are some of my random thoughts anyway [spoiler alert - ha!].
I haven't seen it. Thanks Laika for you summary, having watched it on our behalf.
Can somebody else vomit on my behalf? Such a shame to waste perfectly good puke on this...

Fourth Lateran Council, as quoted in the Catechism.
stopping and telling that woman to stand up and walk!
that would have been something to say "grazie" what happened with all the nice accounts from the bible?
but if could at least get some of the members from the gb to do this..... .
I think the whole world would be a much better place if we all had a kind word a smile and wished well for others every day.
