  Convention Cartoon

  by freemindfade in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so last night they played the convention cartoon.

  there were a few laughs from the audience, overall though people seemed a little taken aback and tight lipped.

  like no one gushed about it afterwards, no applause, just like it was nothing new at all.

  One of the most telling things in the video, that really was always talked about in the meeting part it replaced, but is more blaring in the video is that witnesses are inconsiderate assholes.

  • Reminders to tip? WHO NEEDS TO BE REMINDED????
  • Not treating the continental breakfast and ice machine as your personal food bank? No kidding you dumb hicks!
  • Don't eat too much for lunch? talking to the wrong group here...

  that part of it makes me ever more embarrassed to be associated with the witnesses, that they really are known for these types of things.

  My theory on why they did this, is that they are smart, they have realized that the adults in the org like the Caleb and Sophia cartoons as much OR MORE than the damn kids! So now they are going to appeal to their audience and make some cartoons for the adults.

  I feel like the youngest ones in the hall are weirded out by it, and the oldest ones feel alienated. it's all very strange.

  More speaking out of two sides, when you confront the issues they say:

  • Its not about the organization, the organization doesn't matter, its just about YHWH.

  The reality is that is not true at all! Hypocrites! They downplay the organization then make it a take it or leave it part of the deal!

  Since I still attend meetings and assemblies I get the distinct feeling that not just from a fader like myself, but everyone else too, people attention span is so short that meetings and assemblies have become (by perception and in reality) infinitely redundant. Literature myst be the same, things need to be shortened for this mind numbing redundancy

  by cookiemaster in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so, not long ago i've told you guys how one of my only two jw friends saw my comment against the borg and called me about it.

  well, the little fraker also called the elders to tell on me.

  i know i've been a huge idiot for posting a comment about jw's on facebook, but nonetheless i did it and what's happened, happened.. two idiot elders came all the way from the nearest congo, 30 miles away to talk to me about it.

  Leaders should have natural abilities and a certain personality that causes them to be a certain way... elders are not this type, generally speaking, especially the further you get from metropolitan areas. They are people who have made nothing of themselves in the real world, and this little witness world puts them on a pedestal for obeying the status quo. So they become nazi, policing, gestapo assholes because they have no business in a position of any kind of leadership. I have the fortune of being in my last two halls where this did not exist, the main members of he elders bodies were not insecure, window cleaners, they were serious, and successful people. They actually admire my desire to not need to be an elder or MS to feel good about myself, they are a different breed and rare in the org. All the rest feel like more spiritual men for being Orwellian assholes

  When you see it from this side you get a real nice look at the cult underbelly... it's very ugly

  "Normal family affections and dealings" continue - If only?!?

  i am new to this forum - it is only a couple of weeks since i have allowed myself to acknowledge and research my doubts.

  i am trying to be fair by reading both sides of the story and considering jw official explanation of confusing matters.

  one of the issues i have been looking at is shunning - and i was shocked to see the misleading information about shunning on the jw.org website: .
