The clown factory at Warwick

by Sour Grapes in

it just amazes me how the clown factory at the borgs basilica in warwick could produce 8 clown popes that act like self-licking ice cream cones and the jdubs take them so seriously.

if the popes said that they were going to have a bible signing session at a king dumb hall 8 hours away that so many jdubs would make the trip the town would be swamped with traffic.. you know what is truly sad is when during jdub public prayers, the governing body gets more praise than the head of the congregation.

all jesus gets is the final "in jesus name.".

A recent public talk done at our KH by an MS used more quotes taken from JW broadcasting, quoting from the GB and their helpers to back up what he was saying, than the Bible! I found it to be out of place, strange and just plain wrong, but I'm guessing every JW listening would have lapped it up without question.

I have never seen or heard of that program, "The Spin Off". Just looked it up and it screens late on Friday nights NZ time. Doesn't look like the type of program I would go out of my way to watch, and I think that would be the same for most people.

Maybe there will be a part about it this coming Friday night?

Org's "rearranginging deck chairs on the titanic" serving 2 purposes

by nowwhat? in

in 2 weeks we will be announcing major changes in northern ohio congregations and there is quite the buzz in the area about it.

just talked to a jdub from the detroit area that just underwent similar changes, and they mentioned it has been "quite exciting" to get to meet new brothers and sisters.

so besides the cash benefit of selling a couple kingdom halls in the process.

First thing they announced, was that no recordings of this assembly are to be made.

I watched some of the Regional Assembly

by Sour Grapes in

i watched about 2 hours of the regional assembly and these are my thoughts.

the video's and songs did stir my good memories of when i was a jdub elder and very happy in the religion.

i can see how these two things would make it difficult to leave the borg because of the emotional buy-in.. now getting into the talks, the cults true colors show and i wonder how in the hell was i a part of that for over 40 years.

I was made to watch Junes broadcast, within 2 minutes of it starting, I was told that there is a difference between a pile of wood and a heap of wood. Talk about manipulating the English language to their advantage.

What is the most troubling or disturbing biblical passage you ever had to rationalise when a Jw?

by stuckinarut2 in

now that we have stepped away from the jw faith, how do you feel about the bible itself?.

what about those awkward sections of scripture?

how did you rationalise or justify those sections?.

skin

This verse here, was this common back then?

Deuteronomy 23:1

23:1 “No man who has been castrated by having his testicles crushed or who has had his male organ cut off may come into the congregation of Jehovah".

The urban legends we heard as JWs!

by stuckinarut2 in

how often have we heard some sort of sensationalist urban legend as jws?.

here is an example i was told as a kid:.

the experience of a sister who knocked on a door and was greeted by a big fierce looking man- intimidating and mean.

A father showing his son why gambling is a waste of money and wrong, to prove it he put one coin in a gambling machine and hit jackpot.

When tragedy hits some country, JW's are first to get in there to give help, usually via some unknown way in that the government officials don't know about. Odd thing this is, that I have heard members of other religions quote the same story about their church being first to get in and render aid to these areas hit with tragedy.

No one have proven JW's wrong, by the way, don't listen to anyone that could make you question your faith, they are apostates from Satan.

What Do Elderly JWs Reminisce About When They Get Together?

by steve2 in

old people are allowed to be grumpy,eccentric and outspoken.

i think of the old-timer jws in my local congregation during my childhood and youth.

some of them were very critical of “the brothers” but the presiding overseers and later, the elders, tolerated their ravings, seeing them as still loyal but eccentric.. i even recall a watchtower article or two in the late 1960s that talked about the disappointment many older ones felt as this system of things wasn’t showing any signs of imminent collapse.

Anything and everything that promotes WT stories.

Here are a few I have heard recently.

"We are the happiest people on earth, the world look at us and wonder why they can't be happy like us".

"Before 1914, when the world was a lovely place for people to live"

"Buying or selling your house can only happen with Jehovahs help"

They don't need to be elderly to hear these things, a JW of any age can say stuff like this.
