GBL - Doesn't it sicken you to even THINK about these songs? I love music so much and it's one thing that can easily take me back to what I was doing and how I felt when I heard/sang it. So you can understand why king-dumbass mellow-dees make me plenty f*ing sick

Religious songs shouldn't make you wanna curse and swear, should they?

Sing out with joy of heart .... WHAT F*ING JOY!!!!

by metatron in

the most recent watchtower contains study articles that address the growing alarm.

A start in the right direction would actually be for them to imitate the churches a bit (of course, they never would do that) and start up things like youth groups and, for the younger, Sunday schools or something similar for kids.

No, can't do that, it would make them look too much like Christendom ... unloving, uncaring, non-spirit-directed, apostate dubs could learn some good lessons from some of the mega-million main-stream churches.

One Church I visited had an awesome youth group. My daughter went one time and she loved it. Actually, they had something for all ages groups as well as a women's ministry and one for the men. Could keep you in church a lot but as long as you're getting something good out of it and you enjoy it what they hey? But alas, the GB could give less than a rats-fat-arse about anybody enjoying anything so ... just scratch that comment - OK.

tamtam of the 'their just plain wrong and don't give a dam' class (and still the numbers decrease but all they can think to do is tighten their grip, blame apostates, blame satan, the world, anything besides looking at themselves. I guess they've never heard of the term 'thinking outside the box' ... hmmmmmm)

I'm new here

by Apostanator in

this is the first time i feel comfortable posting something.

i've been a lurker for over a year and i must say there are a lot of courageous people here who left the watchtower.

thank god for the internet and sites like this.

Welcome in from the shadows apostanator. A lot of us lurk for months before posting. But once you start it's even more addictive than just reading.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your work in the communit

District Assembly eating rules....

by JH in

jw
friends

during our district assembly which will be held at a coliseum, we were told not to go outside during the intermission, and not eat in restaurants near by.

we were told to bring our own food and eat inside the coliseum.

usually, the coliseum offers hot dogs and hamburgers and drinks, but the brothers refused this service.. .

I feel many jw's are just fed of being treated like little children and then the WTS wants all the credit

What grown man/woman can put up with this type of treatment without becoming resentful? All they're doing is encouraging thinking people to leave. Hell, my employer gives me more freedom than these morons do!

friends

by maurice in

hi i was wondering if anyone can answer this for me .i am not a jehovahs witness .

i have a friend who is a jehovahs witness , and claims that men and women cannot be friends .i am sure that jesus was friends with females , and i am also sure that some of the anointed had friends of the opposite sex .i just don't know how to go about to finding something in the bible to back up who is correct .thank you for any input .

JW's are a high control cult. They regulate everything about peoples personal lives and trust no one to do the right thing. Stiffling to the inth degree!!!

PEOPLE OR PROCEDURES-WHICH DESCRIBES YOU

by tijkmo in

what do you think is the most important...i remembered this illustration from a mid 80s wt...do you think this is a description of wts at this moment.

even when organizational responsibilities multiply, caring elders will never lose sight of the fact that they are dealing with peoplepeople whom god loves.

(1 peter 5:2, 3, 7; 1 john 4:8-10) they will never be so occupied with organizational matters or procedures that they forget their prime role as shepherds, guardians, and protectors of the flock.proverbs 3:3; 19:22; 21:21; isaiah 32:1, 2; jeremiah 23:3, 4.. an intense preoccupation with schedules and figures, for example, might crowd out concern for people.

Woe to you scribes and pharisees. Hypocrites! That's what the article brought to my mind. Legalism is first and foremost in the b0rganization. If you try to buck the system they'll throw you out on your arse and never look back!
