Talked a good talk but you'll never see a more repressed homosexual male than this guy.

i’ve been hearing from several very reliable sources that there will be an exclusive elite gala entertainment event hosted by the watch tower organization, featuring specially chosen jehovah’s witnesses of outstanding talent as well as spiritual reputation, at the sony centre (formerly called the o’keefe centre) in toronto, ontario (canada) as a special “after hours” addition to the 2017 special international convention.. those chosen have to meet very strict criteria, including, not so much technical and popular talents, but, rather, their spiritual maturity which can be easily and practically related to by the audience (i.e., degree of conformity – you know what i mean!).
a notable and very well-known professional “super star” from some other country (i don’t know which one) who has achieved highly recognized and popular talent was surprisingly not chosen to participate in the extra entertainment program, whereas other performers with rather ho-hum musical abilities ended up being selected, ostensibly for their altruistic and “theocratic” qualities.
(something tells me that there is going to be some jealousy and indignant, hard feelings over this rather authoritarian, arbitrary selection process.
Genuinely would rather put my balls in a food blender than listen to that shit.
elders ,co ,do ,branch overseers ,gb ,missionaries has "sinful" lust got the better of them..
Always bewildered me that the holly spirit appointed me who were often at the time of appointment wife beaters, child abusers or adulterers.
Jehovahs spirit is more interested in moving piles of sand for construction projects.
Priorities man.
one of the most frustrating things.
when you confront jw's about what they believe they will often deny it.
such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again".
One of the most frustrating things.
When you confront JW's about what they believe they will often deny it. Such as "if your child is disfellowshipped then you can't have contact with them ever again". The reply you get will be a denial of that along the lines of "well there are circumstances where we can have contact". Yet, they've all seen the videos from last years conventions where a mother wasn't to pick up the phone up her long term disfellowshipped daughter.
Other denials come in the shape of the blood issue, god slaughtering everyone at Armageddon, factual cases of covering over paedophilia & the mistakes of the governing body.
But why?
Why can't they just own what they are? Why can't they take pride in what they're supposed to be, thus watering down what the commandments are from Watchtower?
It says it all to me. They're actually embarrassed by their own beliefs, so much so that most will deny or water them down.
Thoughts?
i know they never gave a helping hand to anyone but their own in the past.
do jehovah's witnesses do anything useful for the community??
?.
Community responsibility and charity are a waste of time to them as Jehovah will sort it soon, imminently, etc, etc.
i remember when i was in as a teenager, some time around 2006, samuel herd of the governing body came to dedicate our newly built hall.
i remember bumping into him accidentally and a brother pulled me aside and half jokingly and half seriously telling me that i should be more careful around jehovah's anointed ones.
it was quite comical to say the least.
Saw some repugnant fawning over Daniel Sydlik at a convention here.
These days I find it incredible that anyone would fawn over the governing body members. Guys like Lett & Morris are clearly mentally ill, imbalanced weirdos.
hey guys, looking for some advice with what to do with my jw wife that is simply ignoring my wishes/demands.
first a little back story, we have been married for 6 years and have 3 children together.
she is a jw, and i am not (nor do i have any religious beliefs).
Also, don't underestimate how thiscrrligion eill grnuinely fuck up your three kids. Especially as you are not a believer.
I wrote a theee part thread about this exact subject years ago - how one of my kids was taught to view her unbelieving father.
Thid is part three. The other two are linked at the top of the thread.

A wee wake up call for you from someone who's been through it - your opinion don't mean shit as your not part of the religion. You are now the enemy and anything you say will simply be ignored or your character will be assassinated so as to devalue any legitimate points you make.
Itll be this way until your wife wakes up from her indoctrination. Your marriage will be under pressure due to her unswerving loudly to the organisation. I don't envy you.
my mom and sisters have not had any contact with my family for the past year and a half.. we even recently announced a new pregnancy and none of them acknowledged it or called to say congratulations or anything.. this past week my non-witness grandfather passed away and i had thought that for the sake of his death and funeral, it being "necessary family business" that they would at least be civil in front of our other family.
all of them still ignored me, my sisters didn't even speak to my children at all - to be honest i don't think my kids even knew who they were.
for the sake of my grandmother i made a small attempt at the end of the day to say goodbye to my mother and she kind of just brushed past me and said goodbye without really looking at me.. anyways my grandmother told me later that my mom spoke to her and said "i love my daughter and i love my grandchildren and i'm so upset that she won't allow me to see them".
I've said it before on here and I really wish people would do it. It's time people reverse shunned these absolutely vile, toxic people.
Theres no way I would allow my children into a situation where my mother doesn't speak to me yet has contact with the kids. No way. What would this teach your children about relationships? What lesson would it teach your mother about how she treats you?
Reverse shunning drives Witnesses crazy. They hate it. It disempowers their ridiculous power/guilt trip.
Give them nothing. They're frankly not worthy of you.
"No natural affection" - fulfilled by Jehovah's Witnesses.
my brother got remarried to his ex-wife over the weekend.
they had been married for 15 years, but divorced in 2011. they decided to give it another try, because they have 3 kids together, and the dating pool is very thin for jws in their 30's and 40's.
we didn't want to attend, but since i was invited, and they were kind enough to attend our wedding, we decided to suck it up.. the most interesting part was the way my wife responded to the whole ordeal.
I know some pretty independent women that are witnesses and the way they're subjugated has me scratching my head.
