since my mom decided she needed to put full shunning back into effect again (an unconscious new year's resolution to be a better jw?
), i've been ransacked by a whole bunch of emotions which have been gradually resolving into thoughts.
the sense of being completely disposable, expendable, replaceable.
As far as the Dubs go, they DO dispose of the annointed (even though they are "righteous") from time to time. Threw Franz' ass right off the GB!
I don't have a lot of exposure to the Dubz, but I will tell you that I would NEVER let one of my children be influenced by them. Their tactics are well-planned and designed to do as much human damage as possible through guilt and loss.
You are a perfect example of their wickedness
if you had to write down just a few sentances about why you left the truth, what would you say?.......
jambon;.
wholeheartedly embraced it for a few years after love bombing etc then saw widespread hypocrisy.
Was at the Blockbuster renting some videos for the four kids in the congregation (rare treat for them to get together and play) and a Super Dubette put back a movie as being "inappropriate".
The movie was "PG" but she "didn't like the looks of the character" (Napoleon Dynamite). Thought he might be a homo.
They are all bitter, judgemental freaks.
i was reading e-watchman today and someone there is saying that after studying the what does the bible really teach book at bookstudies the next book will be the revelation book!!!.
there isn't any real proof, but the poster claimed a letter from bethel stated this.
perhaps some here can dig around and confirm or deny this new rumor.. we've studied it 3 times in the past and it's been awhile.
You mean there's something worse than the "Daniel" book?
i've gotten into at least one argument at every one i've gone to.
last summer, i started laughing when a sister on the stage told us how "proud" she was that she only had two complete place settings in her house.
if more than one person came to visit she related that she had to wash a cup so that the other one could drink.
| I've gotten into at least one argument at every one I've gone to. Last summer, I started laughing when a sister on the stage told us how "proud" she was that she only had two complete place settings in her house. If more than one person came to visit she related that she had to wash a cup so that the other one could drink. Everyone nodded solemnly in agreement with her display of piousness. I lost it badly and literally blew snot out of my nose holding in the snortles. The Elder who was on stage with her had some shingles blown off the roof of his bay-front mini-mansion during one of the storms that hit here. His house was fixed by JW labor, but in the mean-time he bought with insurance cash the next door mini-mansion with a better view of the bay. Now he has two water front houses like the pious sister has her dishes. At another I was told "you can't walk here" referring to the fact that my 2 Y/O daughter had finally gotten fed up inside the auditorium and wanted to walk around. We were in the lobby quietly moving around a bit when an accomodator told me "You can't walk here". I literally stopped and dissected his statement while he watched. I can't walk in the lobby? Meanwhile throngs of Dubs were passing us on the way to the john. Hot, tired, stuffy and frustrated I answered "just F'ing watch me walk where I want to walk" He wanted to know which congregation I was from so I told him "Uranus" I saw him in the parking lot at lunch time and proceeded to feed the birds next to him and his family. They crapped on him. What's up with these badges anyway? Are they stupid enough to think someone might pop in off the street? | |
i'm considering buying a car this year.
i'm getting a really good offer for a 1994 ford mustang cobra for about $7500 (its been modified :-d ).
and a black viper that a guy has been trying to sell me for weeks.
James - currently
1995 Corvette ZR1 #401 out of 448 built that last year - black on black and under a car cover in my garage.
2004 Corvette Z06 - black on black; backup ride.
1996 Porsche Carrera Targa - black on black; daily driver.
1999 Mazda Miata; old lady's wheels.
Like me but I have more Corvettes and Italian motorcycles
i remember being at a district convention when three young mormon men came in and somehow ended up sitting next to me.
i was sitting with three of my girlfriends and although we were all 19 years old we had to sit within a row or two of our parents in order to be policed appropriately.
the assembly was a yawnfest as usual but the mormon guys showing up added a bit of interest -- i immediately picked up on the fact that they were there for laughs not because they had any interest in becoming jdubs.

this is the watchtower for april 1, 2006, page 9.. 'parents be a fine example for your children.'.
'....of course, children are children, and some are prone to be contrary, even wayward.
(genesis 8:21) what can parents do?
When I started studying, it was with a Special Pioneer and his spouse. Both were in their 70's. The wife advised me that "a good spanking" would get my 1 Y/O daughter to "behave". She also counseled me to "get rid of" the family cat. Not sure why but she felt it would be a good thing. Farking lunatics I tell you.
Their son is an Elder in the congregation and never have I seen such a haunted face. It would be either Elder or Serial Killer for him.
i am new here, excuse my english.
it seems that some of you are serving or have been serving as elders and have judical committee experience (stillajwexelder for example).
i want to know how i must behave in jc meeting to avoid disfellowshipping.
1. Lie. Are there two witnesses. If not, say it is not true and lie. If there are two or more witnesses, you can't do this.
2. (pretend to) feel veryy sorry what you did. This only works if it is done only a single time or very few times, and/or if you report it yourself. If the behaviour is repeated much, there is les chance they will fall for this. You already say that it is repeated behavoir. But when it is long time ago, you can say that you fell so sorry now, and that it is long since stopped. What is very important in this case if it is found out, or you tell yourself.
Hey man if you have more than one witness that means a THREESOME! You DA MAN!!! Admit nothing. Even though they talk out of their a$$e$ about the importance of truth, WT has said that lying is OK.
does anyone know the length of contract or agreement that those who received a law degree funded by the wtbts had to sign?
thanks dan
Basing a religious faith on a business model is only going to get ambitious and grasping people rising to the top.<<
It's not a business model of any kind. WTS is leaking blood and the only reason their total numbers have more or less stabilized is that they are focusing on 3rd world and emerging nations to pump up the ranks. Bethel is more like one of those hippie comunes from the 70's, or maybe a former USSR factory/living arrangement than a "business." For one thing in a business, the Employees are paid, and the best ones are advanced.
The party is about over for them in developed lands largely because of the stupid, hypocritical actions of the GB.
Trust me, any Attorney employed by the Corporation is utterly toothless. They know that in order to get anything done right they need to go the secular route.
here is an actual jw response, from another board, about the new blood letter.
notice the brainwashing.the service meeting was very informative and clearly helped spell out the duties of our dear elders in helping us during a trying time.
it also made things very clear to each one of us regarding our individual responsibility when it comes to making our own choices on the blood issue.
Brainless JW because she knows what will happen to her should she dare to ask "why."
I think Jesus sent us a pretty good example when he questioned and confronted Judaism. Why JW's can't see that asking questions is condoned by the Bible I just can't understand...
