  Reliable source - new round of US Bethel layoffs coming soon

  by sir82 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  was talking to an ex-bethelite who is still very well-connected to those in the ivory tower.. he says that there will soon be a(nother) large number of us bethelites who will be "reassigned to the field" as pioneers and special pioneers.. he did not give his source, but he is pretty reliable.

  incidentally, he was "reassigned to the field" in the last big purge about 7 years ago.. i imagine those so reassigned would be pretty teed off.

  let go just before the golden lakeshore palace was completed..

  Why Is This New Batch of Governing Body Members So Stupid?

  by Brokeback Watchtower in

  1. watchtower

  well there are lots of reason for sure, denial, delusion, wishful thinking, ego maniac, infantile understanding of ancient writings, satanophobia, xenophobia, out of touch with reality, limited choices scrapping the bottom of the barrel,and many more.. listen to this ted talk and see if you can pick out something that helps explain why these guys are such ass holes:.

  organizations are often run according to the superchicken model, where the value is placed on star employees who outperform others.

  and yet, this isnt what drives the most high-achieving teams.

  I know that since waking up I have also noticed how my thinking ability was handicapped and not just in all things JW.

  Thats a very good statement and I see that with myself also.

  So for those who read body language & facial expressions - what is he really saying?

  I am no expert, but I have always found the subject fascinating so I read up on the subject.

  To be honest, I cannot see anything in any of the GB members. I would say that they are coached how not to give anything away, and if they do give anything away they no doubt do a retake.

  All active JWs are living a lie, probable most unknowingly, some knowingly.
  

  Outside the organization that's a different matter.

  What Jehovah can't do...

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  during the rc today i heard this(i am paraphrasing and translating):.

  "jehovah has created the physical universe for us.

  he is a spirit and he can't enjoy physical things so he created it for us alone.

  When I was an active witness I always liked the text that says "God cannot lie". Now I know TTATT to me this text is just another proof that God/Jehovah/creator or whatever you want to call the man in the sky is not with Jehovah's Witnesses because it is an organization where the head lies, cheats, protects pedophiles, delivers weapons, etc.
  

  All these things, I am sure, are things that the "God that cannot lie" would have nothing to do with.

  How many JW Families do you know of who hate each other and shun each other? "Religion of Hatred" 1.a

  by The1975Blues in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when you were attending the kingdom halls did you see feuds and hate filled wars against members working on the new personality?

  how strong were the elders in keeping their halls filled with love not hatred, jesus said everyone would be filled with love, there was no room for hatred in jesus christ's view of how christians ought to act!

  when you see children shunning parents, parents shunning children, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpas displaying qualities jesus said were "instant tickets to hell" why do the jws keep attending the meetings if their filled with hate?

  an elder in my congo gave a talk.

  he was always interesting to listen to and one of the nice guys.

  (the nice elders are always targets of the bully elders, no?).

  they messed my mind up all my life.

  I know how you feel, they messed mine up for nearly 30 years.

  In the congregation I was in our CoBE would insist that all sisters wear skirts/dresses with a hem below the knee. Then we got a new CO and his wife always wore skirts/dresses where the hem was always above the knee, and she had nice legs.
