  Earth rotates the wrong way. ( no one even knew that )

  i've heard it mentioned a few times.. the rotating earth graphic in the background on jwtv rotates backwards.. i've mentioned it to the active and they are not concerned at all.. my response is, "it's something they are portraying that cannot be more wrong".. .

  two gb members have stood in front of it telling us to trust them.

  how can you when they think the sun rises in the west.... .

  the trouble with women is that they have a breaking point.

  it comes when their needs are not being met or they are not respected.

  and, that is a beauty too.

  My Parents have gone FULL CULT MODE! Having a job is SATANIC!

  to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

  Yep, my family did it to me. Borrowed thousands, of which I didn't make them repay. When one finally went bust, I refused. Then, I was told that I was materialistic and worldly for not giving. Meanwhile, they didn't know/realize the thousands I gave in the past to other JW(ish) family members that I felt were truly in need. I told them, and then they tried to shut me down for other things, "You'd be nothing without your spouse . . . " And, that's when I cut them off from me.

  My suggestion for you is to play poor. Talk of impending layoffs. Offer them only $100 to cover food & gas for the week, but you can't give anymore. You are going to have to live a double life.

  It would be easier to give if they were truly in need (not able to work). But, those who are offered jobs and don't take them, or those with money that choose to spend unwisely, can't be helped

  I haven't seen any carts. I've ran into a JW at the convention. It was in a sports complex where we play hockey and skate. We were in another part for skating, and they came into the recreation part to buy coffee. I struck up a conversation wtih them, and told them I was a JW, left, and the reasons why. They were happy, then speechless. Another JW & I struck up a conversation. He used to be a hockey goalie. But, hadn't done it since becoming a JW. I said JWs are in sports, look at the William's sisters. I played JW dumb, and encouraged him to try hockey on the rec league that meets on Sunday evenings, goalies play free becuase they are in demand.

  What? A "helper" is like another person who is a secretary, butler, maid, etc. They are "Members" of the "Governing Body". Someone knew to make it look like Oz is still hiding behind his curtain. Becuase if the rank & file figure out that these guys are the bafoons running the show, Oz is going to fall.

  Were the Governing Body members who spoke wearing gold rings and did they have 'manicured' hands/nails?

  "Opinions about dress and grooming..."

  by leaving_quietly in

  2. beliefs

  from the july 15, 2014 watchtower, page 15. par.

  "opinions about dress and grooming, health and nutrition, and other personal matters may also trigger controversy.

  accordingly, if no scriptural principle is being violated, jehovah's people wisely abstain from arguing over such matters, "for a slave of the lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle [tactful, ftn.

  Jesus wore sandals, not socks. And, especially not crazy colored socks that would attract demons.

  Can someone confirm this:

  The JWs were told to not record the talk or take notes?

  The trouble with women is that they have a breaking point. It comes when their needs are not being met or they are not respected. And, that is a beauty too. Becuase, it is this trait that is snap women out of Kingdum Land.

  JWs were expecting this Zone Meeting to be an earthshaking event. it was the first time the Governing Body, who sits with Jesus's hand, to speak. It was a chance to address the needs of women & children. Jesus spoke of bringing children to Him, of not ridiculing the prostitute, healing women with ailments. By all accounts, Jesus adored women and children. Was there a message to the struggling JW woman?

  JW women are asked alot by their religion:

  - Pressures to go against natural instinct by not marrying, but pioneering.

  - Pressures to go against natural instinct and refrain from having children.

  - If they do get married, their husbands can beat them. If they complain, the elders will tell them to be patient with Jehovah (while they get the crap beat out of them) and have more sex with their abuser.

  -If they have children and their children are molested in the Kingdumb Hall, they are not supposed to go to the police nor speak ill against the pedophile.

  -They are at much more risk to dying from blood loss (hysterectomy, child birth).

  -They have to ignore their maternal instinct and fight against blood transfusions for their children, despite the policy being based on misquotes, fraud, flip-flops, and complete allowance of blood (just not by that name).

  -They have to be great housekeepers, children raisers, make meetings & assemblies, and are expected to pioneer.

  -Their children are being expected to get baptised younger & younger, with full knowledge that the mom will probably have to shun them at some point during their teenage/young adult years.

  (feel free to add)

  Was any of their plight or hard work or outright manipulation of their natural instincts and fears addressed? Nope.

  Instead, NO YOGA PANTS and NO SPANX and MARRY A BROTHER WHO IS AT LEAST AN MS BY 23 YEARS OLD.

  This is going to send the women running. The marraige pool just shrunk. The most comfortable casual pants are no longer allowed. Worse, undergarments that make them look good at the Kingdumb Hall are now not allowed. And, Jesus's Right Hand man said so. It's obvious that he misconstrued what Spanx are verses Yoga Pants. The GB is just men, who don't understand women. . . . . How different is that from Jesus.
