Marital sex

by Tedeily in

my wife and i have always shared naked photos respectfully over the years.

being the only thing to fill that void in our relationship due to being apart.

recently my wife has become jehovah, and we’re not sure if my wife is allowed to respectfully share herself with me while i am away.

Recently my wife has become Jehovah

Yikes! That's a real buzzkill.

Remember what to say if she asks "Are...you....a.....god???"

Where is Watchtower Getting the Money???

by Newly Enlightened in

brilliant video by a friend of ours in exposing watchtower & the new temple farms/chelmsford branch.

https://youtu.be/dscsobamwsc .

And from gullible adherents who attend meetings, conventions, and assemblies, and who donate wads and wads of $$$ because they want to "express their thanks to Jah" for giving them....videos of old men rambling semi-coherently on topics of little interest.

What happens to bethel members who get sick?

by JimmyYoung in

so i am sure if you are at bethel and have the flu you just get time or what ever to recover, but what about serious sickness.

say you get cancer or some possible terminal illness?

what happens?.

sir82

If a "standard Bethelite" you get sent packing.

If you're a "Bethel heavy", they might send you packing but as a "special pioneer" so you get the monthly stipend & a few other perks.

If you are a GB member, or helper, or head of a department, or a Bethel lifer aged 80+, or a spouse of such, they may accommodate you within Bethel, allow you to stay and take up a bed in the infirmary.

Outlaw temple

by Fadeaway1962 in

ancient 'outlaw temple' discovered in israel.

the famous first temple was not alone.. a bird's-eye view of the temple, taken at the end of the 2013 excavation season.. (image: © p. partouche/skyview).

image 1 of 6. one of the two human-shaped figurines.

sir82

I often fantasize about time travel being somehow possible, then kidnapping GB members and various other obnoxious "Bethel heavies", and taking them back to Israel in, say, 1000 BC, or 500 BC, or 30 AD, just to watch their horrified expressions when they realize that the perfectly preposterous ideas they espouse about "pure worship" and what life was like in "ancient Israel" whatnot was all a bunch of complete & utter hooey.

I need to work on developing better fantasies, I know.

2/10/20 20 hindsight: the wt fiction fig tree

by waton in

this week's, 2-10- 2020 jesus lesson 103, parables of the fig tree, prematurely spreading leafs, cursed because of raising false expectations.

what a perfectly fitting facsimile for the fruitless fiction that the wt corporation has produced during "christ's presence" .

!8xy, 1914, 1925, 1975, 2000, 2075. by their [prophetic] fruits you will know them, or the figurative fig leafs, not even covering the bare wt facts.

sir82

Wt got only number 1914 right,

What did the WTS get right about 1914? Exactly and verifiably? What did they predict would happen in 1914, and what did happen?

Coronavirus: Punishment from Jehovah and a sign from Jesus!

by lastmanstanding in

the watchtower has taught for over a century that plague is part of jesus’ sign letting earth know he’s lurkin’.... combined with the recent acceleration by the chinese gubmint of ejecting jws from china, it’s no surprise that dubs are of the belief that ‘jehovah is punishing china’.. dubs must be expecting a few large earthquakes to strike china in the next weeks with possibly a war or two, to round out the pain of jesus’ sign to these wicked jehovah haters..

sir82

He didn’t believe me.
I would love to show him the studies.

Wouldn't make a difference.

"Studies? From the world controlled by Satan? You don't think he can influence scientists to lie? Or even manipulate the results of their experiments so that it works out to make Jehovah look like a liar?"

Seriously - it would be more productive and less painful to have someone drop cinder blocks on your head.

Jehovah's Witnesses Mega Halls

by RolRod in

i was thinking about this recently.

the society owns all the kingdom halls and with desperate need of money, their closing down and selling off properties.

consolidating congregations seems to be the order of the day.

sir82

I think it is the amount of money that we donate.

Well, yes, but...

Those who have faded don't contribute.

Step 1: Control control control - keep them in the fold.

Step 2: Once in the fold, guilt them into donate, donate, donate.

The larger the congregation, the easier it is to slip thru the cracks and fade.

Congregations are kept small, and field service groups are kept very small, on purpose. It's all about control, control, control.

Mega-congregations? Would never happen.
