What is the strangest picture drawn or other you ever saw in a JW article?

what is the strangest picture drawn or other you ever saw in a jw article?.

Introvert 2

I never dwelt on them when I was in as I had the gut feeling they were off.. there were a few but the skelatal hand in the revelation book and the one with the gargoyl face on the picture frame / lamp with the seventies hipster couple was weird alright..

The Stern magazine one of Pascal Petit threw me for a loop a few years ago, I was UPSET. The dark haired babe in the background was supposed to be that Italian girl who was said to of done auto. writing in the headquarters basement as the artist knew her family well. Ravyn Guilianai I believe it was.

The rabbit hole goes deep.

Forgiveness

by Freedom rocks in

if someone does the same things over and over again and says sorry and then does it again and you point out that their apologies don't mean anything anymore, then they accuse you of not being forgiving enough, who is in the wrong?

(i mean as in constantly over a long period of time).

im trying to work out whether it was just part of the persons mental/ emotional manipulation tactics or whether i have the wrong view and i'm not forgiving enough.

Good short word here that I use more often now that I'm middle aged, took me half a lifetime to learn : NO

Phrase I've decided to user more often today : You're not my lord nor master

OP : learn to lookout for yourself, JW certainly did not

They came by yesterday while I was running an errand of course.. left me an invite to the 'Soyez Courageux' 2018 Assemblée des Témoins de Jéhovah in Québec City of all places. Like I live in the Laurentians north of St-Jérome bro.. wtf that's 350 km ( 4 hours ) from my place. Meanwhile am pretty sure they had their own assembly at the Montreal assembly hall.

Busy work to get rid of old stock and tracts is all it is, I've seen it before with outdated memorial tracts : pathetic and selfish just looking out for themselves

Welcoming Our Latest JW Apologist JTrottigy

by pale.emperor in

i'd like to take this opportunity to warmly welcome our newest jw apologist jtrottigy.

.

he'll likely only be here for a few days like most jw defenders before he runs away when presented with his own doctrine.. so far he's already said some hilarious stuff, like "there's no such thing as nepotism in jehovah's organisation", "confidentiality is paramount to elders" and, my personal favourite "the overlapping generation is so simple to understand".. yh don't think i don't remember you from jwtalk..

Introvert 2

This is a start, I felt relieved after having read through most of Keith's posts going back years. Turning point moment in my life :

Read them sitting down.

Weclome JT ( if you're real ) Pick-up a copy of both of Ray Franz's books if you can. Also read up on Keith Casarona's NEW BOY Bethel series here for real life experiences of what it was like to live and work at Bethel. After having done these assignments please report back what you've found and let us know if you still want to contribute time, effort and money to the WT. Best wishes in your spiritual journey.

The 'IN' families

by punkofnice in

one thing i don't miss about being a jobo, is those families that ruled the congregations.. i've seen how the elders protected their own using our old friend, nepotism.. eg.

the son of an elder that stole a car and was prosecuted but 'let off' because it was kept secret and all his relatives were elders in the same congregation.

it certainly went on when i was an elder but i wasn't one of the 'in' crowd.

Introvert 2

Wild_ThingThere were so many big dynasty JW families related to each other, I am convinced there had to be inbreeding in the congregation I grew up in.

I've seen it myself in the few congregations I've been in north of Montreal. Young born in's marrying within same or close by congs. and breeding like rabbits to the extent that everyone is somehow related. It's weird and stomach churning but to them seems quite normal and happyfing.. and I'm sure the Borg is quite pleased ! Then to add insult to injury I'd get to hear the elders gush about so and so being an item and how such a wonderful young attractive couple willadorn Jehovah ! ( remember it's all about appearances and social climbers )

Swingle's use of the 'N' work is well documented. Must have read about hundreds of times.. Wouldn't it of been fun if the black kid would of gotten up and 'mashed' the potato's into Swingle's face, he cerrtainly deserved it. Kind of like dreaming of going back in time so as to go up on stage and give a nice talk peppered with apostate ideas hehe !
