  Do some WT phrases make you squirm?

  for me it's "the doors of the ark are closing.

  i can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away.

  fathers shaking their fists at god for destroying their families... it's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness.... are there any others that bug you?.

  Is a Major Rift Developing between the GB and It's Bethel Lawyers??

  by frankiespeakin in

  i would think sooner or later it is inevitable with all the stupid shit the governing body pulled over the last couple of years.

  i can only imagine the angst many intelligent lawyers at bethel feel toward this braindead governing body of idiots.

  Has Anyone Got Any Proof That The Society Monitors Apostate Web Sites?

  2. scandals

  i am extremely skeptical about this, yet people on this forum seem to talk about it as though it were a fact.

  so has anyone got any actual concrete proof?

  here are the reasons why i don't think they do:.

  JW Underground

  by Hondo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i recently read an article about jw's that, if had the choice, would probably leave because of the deceptions, lies, etc., but don't because of family, friends, prestige, whatever, and instead lead a make-believe life going through the motions of being a loyal and believing follower of the watchtower organization.

  most of those purported to be part of this non-believing/participating, but attending, jw population, are folks that have been associated with the jw's for a number of years, but, as many have, decided that the lies and constant changes (new light) just don't make sense anymore.

  i would suspect that identifying those who just "go through the motions" of being a good jw would be difficult.

  Are you john barr? If not,that statement is invalid.Have you ever heard of a con man.Is it so immposible to believe that witnesses at all levels don't truly believe or have only convinced themselves there doing the right thing.I truly believe some are thier because they don't know anything else.They have been "scared" into being thier.Others just want to see paradise.I'm not saying most JW's aren't genuine,but oftentimes,very misguided,causing cult worship.

  slimboyfat-They have convinced themselves there right!!!!!!!! I was a born and raised dub.Of course I believed.My parents believe.They WANTED to believe.It was there self rightouss way of showing how good they were.They had miserable ubringing's .They were going to "show them" how good they were.It is a hypocritical organization,with a power structure that makes politics look like childs play.This is a religion/social club,with a few good people who follow jesus example sprinkled in.

  I often wonder that.If there is likea super elite group of elders or GB that know the truth about the truth.They could be a mix of buisness men,false prophet,snake oil salesmen,power hungry control freaks,wannabe jesus like characters.Good question.

  It seems every hall has its believable ,trusting elder,and the cunning ,power hungry elder.Its probably the same with the GB.
