No they do not. Show me in any article where they promote behavior such as lying backstabbing gossiping and hypocracy!

What TopHat said above.
But mainly it is a "do what we say, not what we do". You will NEVER see them put it in writing.
Def'd, it is the POLICIES that cause the backstabbing, gossiping, and hypocrisy.
For instance:
When someone is DF'd, no one is allowed to know what happened or talk about it. This causes rampant speculation and gossipping.
Yet this is opposite to the supposed "judicial action" in scripture where everything was taken before the WHOLE CONGREGATION. If it was truly taken before the WHOLE CONGREGATION there would be no speculation. Everyone would know what the deal is. So gossiping is therfore engendered in the congregation.
As far as hypocrisy, just look at the hypocrisy with Mexico and Malawi. Malawi JWs weren't allowed to buy a 50 cent political party card in a one-party state! Yet in Mexico the JWs could buy out (bribe) government officials to stay out of prison.
You might not think it a big deal, but imagine if it was your wife or daughter that was raped in Malawi. Imagine knowing that IF ONLY you were in Mexico everything would be fine and you could go enjoy a Tecate or Dos Equis after your morning in field service.

. 98% were lying backstabbing gossiping hypocrates. So I told my self I am not going in Service and lead ANYONE to this Hall.

It's not just your hall .... it is 98% of the halls in the Org.
The reason they are like this is because the FDS engenders this kind of attitude.
They reward hypocrites and punish honest-hearted ones.
I feel you are honesthearted and trying to get a balanced view of the WTBTS. However, if you were caught here by your elders you would be punished.
The ones that succeed in the Org are the ones that blindly obey regardless of whether it is scriptural or not.

As a JW did you ever have a personal relationship with God?

The occasional feeling of closeness to God as a JW is what makes me doubt if anyone is ever really close to God, or if God is just something we make up in our heads.
So if God is real and the JWs basically spoiled it for me, then I am pissed. I guess that is the biggest thing I am trying to figure out before I go all Tetrapod or something.

Just Watched My G-kids decorate the Xmas tree...
by AK - Jeff in
1. jw
2. experiences
we did a little bit of christmas last year.

this year the tree is more out in the open, and we are not hiding it.

let the bastardos do as they please.. what a joy to watch the big eyes as they put on some tinsel and ornaments.

I just threw away all six boxes full of christmas decorations that ;I bought over the past few years and another box of inherited sixties pastel colored ornaments with no regrets.

Bummer .. wish I would have known. I would have bought them off you.

Are You Afraid To Die?
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
do you every worry about dying?

do you think that you probably won't have a very long life?
ithinkisee

If I knew I was going to heaven I would be waiting to die.

You would not.
Are there anymore WT lines you would like to use. (I used to use that one myself, so I know it's not original.)

To Rebel or not to Rebel? that is the question!
by freedomlover in

2. experiences
i am truly looking for your honesty on this issue...not that i think any of you have been dishonest - i just don't want the sugar coated version of pollyanna lines.. i have spoken about this subject privately with one of you - ;) - and also with my hubby.

however, i'm wondering if i'm in the minority here when i bring this subject up.

being raised a jw i had to be so straight for so long.

Hot sisters (or brothers) in your cong...
by blakky in
1. jw
2. friends
i was just wandering.... was it just me or was everyone thinking about it..... ive been in a few congs where some of the sisters were absolutely drop dead gorgeous!

my last cong here in sydney, there was about 160 publishers so the talent was every where... i remember having the hots for this sister, who happens to be the wife of the service overseer... she was xxx hot.

i remember always having to wear my suit coat to the meeting to hide my excitement.. i think all the bro's must have thought the same thing.

Bangor Maine has some hot (worldly) babes like supermodels i got one of em now.

I would hope so ... especially in a town called Bangor ...

Wow. Coincidentally, I happen to know of a higher-ranking ex-Bethelite who is one of the bigshots in the diamond industry. I know he is well-connected to the WTBTS and the diamond industry. Interesting ....
Looks like I need to ask more questions ...
