  your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

  k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

  in nature amino acids formed to then form dna.

  this really works.

  i've already applied the basics of this with one elder who "offered" us a shepherding visit.

  we've been totally ignored since!!!

  Very good suggestions.

  I think the thing I might add that worked for me is to be kind but firm and confident when responding, even if you don't feel that way and are nervous, I told everybody I was on "sabbatical." To some I added "I've taken it to prayer with J." Even some that persisted at times would back at the moment...and eventually they let it go.

  The WTBS is a business. They have and will ALWAYS make decisions in the best interest of the corporation.

  It is "us" who thought they were more.

  Are they either leaving or going full on 'cult mode'? No quarter.

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  it might just be me imagining things.. i hear things from my jw spies.. from all that's being said, it seems to me that the rank and file(tm), are either waking up to the scam and fading/leaving.

  they are going full on 'cult mode' and acting like 'spiritual police'.. is it just me and my imagination?

  have others noticed this?.

  I am wondering my own self what the sentiment is in the congregations. A few dear friends have received the "dreaded text message," one the very evening of the RC, terminating already minimal contact.

  This week I ran into what was my very best and closest friend when I was in. Haven't seen them in 9 years, last time was at a funeral of one of my nonJW relatives...huge controversy, groups of JW's standing outside the community hall door refusing to enter as an accused "apostate" gave the memorial talk. Fun times. Our visit lasted about an hour and felt like old times. Statements of wanting to get together soon were made...I don't think they have had their RC yet. They seem to be living the life they want, but still go to church.

  I don't think the message from the videos will carry the weight they want with the majority. Some need this message to tell them how to think every minute.

  What a waste of precious time.

  " you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.

  i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.

  i heard it many times after that.

  Oh I remember it like it was only yesterday...

  My mom giddily telling me, "Just think you will never grow old!"

  Fast forward about 30 years, mom was 87 or so I think, and out of the blue she just looked at me and said, "I'm not going to make it." She lived another 11 years, and she was right about that but wrong about the other. I'm old now.

  Thanks mom.

  How the Bethel family responded to the bethel layoffs (profanity warning ***)

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i think we can say many of those laid off no longer trust the governing body because of being lied to repeatedly over so many things.

  things are getting very explosive at the governing body's home location kind of ties right in with being moved to a seriously pcp contamined chemical dump site, in fact bad karma has come to rest where ever these stupid lying clowns go.

  these gbs are a bunch of real ass holes and they treat the faithful shit and expect them to just take it like a bunch of dummy drones.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8kuldpksze.

  Totally appropriate reactions. I'm mad as hell and I'm not a Bethelite!

  I hope more and more see the video.

  I was on a Bethel tour (long story) in 2007. While we were waiting for our ride to the airport, a very disgruntled 20+ year front desk guy was grumbling with a few other workers about the same. Here it is almost 10 years later from then!
