  Just realized how the WTS and investing are extremely similar (analogy)

  i was reading onacruise's story about the anticipation of 1975 and it really clicked this time.

  it clicked before, but not like this.. how many of you have had friends or relatives urge you to buy a stock or some other investment because "it is gonna go sky high!"?

  how many of you believe that being a jw requires total emotional attachment to the wts?

  Character flaw

  being that we for the most part agree that jehovah does not really appoint elders and ms, can we also conclude that jehovah does not have a hand in annointing the fds.

  if this is true what would be the character flaw of these men especially the new ones who are only in their early fifties?

  How many mistresses can a JW elder have?

  by Gill in

  since finding out more about the wtbts over the last year, it has come as no surprise to me anymore that the deceptive actions of the mother (wtbts) are seen in some of her children.

  the need for double thinking, self deluding beliefs and sneaky, twisted belief and thought patterns that i have noticed over the years in so many jws suddenly makes sense and is no longer scandalising or suprising.. so when i was told of the behaviour of a 'fine, upstanding, pillar of the community, brother' i simply shrugged.

  however, the results of his behaviour are not something to simply shrug your shoulders over.. it turned out for the last thirty years of his being married he has conducted affairs with another two 'sisters' in the congregation.

  thanks for listening.

  the message remains the same.

  reform your lives or be chastised.

  from the comments i have read about god's supposed non-existence in this forum, it seems that we will only learn the hard way.
