The religion is so god damned depressing yet they are constantly told how happy they should be. This makes them think something is wrong with them. I too have seen them try all sorts of kooky things in an attempt to "fix" themselves.
The best one I heard was getting a diagnosis over the phone while the "doctor" used a surrogate person where he was.

Is the Governing Body trolling us?
by kneehighmiah ini'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.
the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.
calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.

I would say they're trolls but I think it's more accurate to say it's a dying cult that'll do or say anything to keep the wheels turning.

Special Assembly Day - tepid applause
by sir82 injust got back from a recent sad.. after most talks, the applause was, at most, tepid.. it was striking in its tepidity, if that is possible (and if that is a word).. affter most talks, applause lasted literally no more than 5 seconds.
its volume was scarcely above a whisper.. it wasn't acoustics - the bethel speaker was technically a polished speaker (although presenting the same old boring info), and his talks generated noticeably louder applause.
but even still - that applause was maybe 10 seconds, and about normal-conversation level.. but local speakers - the applause was not much more loud than the hum coming from your refrigerator.. there were 1300+ people there.. it was just so weird - my previous large-group experience was at the agm, where people were nearly apoplectic & drooling with delight over their new "silver bibles" (which very few have read, i'd wager).. these guys were just "zombified".. speaking of bibles - bethel dude called it a "platinum bible".

Let me ask you this, Billy: What difference does it make now?
I think I read that you are no longer a witness. Are still trying to adhere to the belief that that 1914 was a pivitol year in human history? Why and to what end? It has been a 100 years now. Do you believe in the current WT generation definition?

Jehovah is the correct uttering of God's name
by mistified ini heard my witness friend that if the name jehovah is the incorrect pronounciation from the hebrew scriptures, then jeremiah is the incorrect way to say jeremiah's name.
i wonder if this is true, because if it is, that would make jws the true religion.
right?.

Remember, In the latin alphabet, Jehovah begins with an I.

I like how he says we need new light from the old standards of disproving 607 b.c.e.
Sorry, facts are facts, Bro.
Billy, at least you should just say that its a complicated biblical thing or god testing us or something and shove that cognitive dissonance deeper.

Meeting Not Cancelled but Postponed
by wisdomfrombelow inthere's a big snowstorm on the east coast and i found out that the school and service meeting was not cancelled but postponed to tomorrow.
why do they think it's so important to have it so they ruin another evening after shoveling snow?
just venting.....

You best go. Otherwise your house will cave in from the snow on the roof, you'll die, and you'll be used from here to armageddon as an example not to miss meetings.

JW. org: "No, we are not a cult. We do not look to any human as our leader."
by Faithful Witness ini know this has been rehashed, time and again, but i saw this interesting blip on jw.org last night, and did a little thinking about it.... jw.
org answers the important question that so many have... are jehovah's witnesses a cult?.
jehovah's witnesses do not look to any human as their leader.

It's astonishing that a watchtower writer could write articles saying, "nope! we're not a cult" without something in the brain saying, "heeeeeeyyyy....waitaminute..."
