by Skeptical78 in

i recently became aware of the new light.

please correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't this new light concerning 1914 means that the wt have been preaching the wrong doctrine for decades?

.

Honesty

How many doctrines that the Watchtower has been preaching for years have NOT been proven wrong by the passage of time?

A JW sitcom?

by Island Man in

has anyone ever thought of creating a jw sitcom?

i mean, there's enough humor and drama in jw culture to keep audiences entertained for multiple seasons.

we have judicial committees, c.o.

Honesty

A JW cartoon would be more realistic.

Yes, the more time I spent hawking religious comic books the higher up the corporate ladder I would climb.

Reoccurring dream I have

by punkofnice in

.........although sometimes slight differences.. bear in mind i am in the uk and we don't go a bundle on therapy and i can't afford it anyway.. here is the dream manifest content as best i can recall.............. i am in a town or city.

i come across a shop which inside is more like an indoor market, sometimes a cavern.

it sells marvel comics.

You are having flashbacks to the time when you hawked Watchtower comic books.

Those flashbacks will continue until you throw away your collection of Spidey comics.

They are demonized. At least that's what the Watchtower comic book says about them.

What Can An Incorporated Congregation Of Jehovah Witnesses Do To Keep Ownership Of Their Kingdom And Not Let The Watchtower Corporation Sell It Off To Pay Child Molestation Lawsuits?

by frankiespeakin in

what's your ideas?.

is their some loophole in the very structured bylaws of an incorporated congregation of jehovah's witnesses that will allow them to retain property rights and avoid a hostile take over by the mother corporation controled by the governing body aka faithful and discreet slave entity?.

Honesty

What is wrong with just letting the Watchtower Society have the kingdom hall and all the awake Jehovah's Witnesses walk out the door for the last time.

Pretty soon the only Jehovah's Witnesses left in the kingdom halls will be the genuine hard core worshippers of the Governing Body.

i found the meetings to be especially boring from the late 1980s on.

before that, we actually tried to make people want to listen.

the meetings were pretty interesting.

I learned how to be a judgemental, brainwashed, deluded litlle Pharisee.

Why Is Alcoholism Deeply Embeded In JW Culture?

by RottenRiley in

we get plenty of company men passing through our circuit, often filled with misinformation and lugging around a suitcase of guilt, they bring more guilt to the weak while praising the braggart pioneers and slapping the "righteous over much" elders.

why are the wrong people getting praise in this distorted community?

i know for a fact many of the elders i served with have issues with alcoholism, when "brother guilt" brought his emotional hurricane through our circuit, i had the chance to eat and help pay for his "seven shots of tequila", both him and his wife were not immune to over-indulgences.

Look at their father who gave them the name, "Jehovah's Witnesses" and you'll understand the phrase "Like father, like son."
