  Feedback. I got some inspiration

  by never a jw in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  when i found the following quote in another thread of the watchtower of november 2013 all of a sudden i got the push and the ideas to do something to denounce jehovah's witnesses as a dangerous religion.. at that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from jehovahs organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint.

  all of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound... or not.

  (4) now is the time for any who may be putting their trust in secular education, material things, or human institutions to adjust their thinking the elders must stand ready to help any who may now be wavering in their faith.

  There ARE other kinds of crazy . . .

  i was reading the forums over at ravelry.com and came upon one about knitting for fictional characters.

  these folks want to knit something for the characters in twilight, for instance, or tlotr.

  i was reading along, thinking what dweebs these folks are, and how they need to get a life, until someone mentioned she'd like to knit socks for mad-eye moody.. i sat right up!

  Wow! My brother is just too dumb for words....

  by Witness My Fury in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ok we know it's a stupid mind control cult but sometimes to see it in the flesh is just a slap in the face.... i lent my brother karen armstrongs the bible - the biography, which is a great book to help understand the bible, i have read it twice and it was very informative.

  i had hoped my brother may find it likewise and actually learn something.. not a frickin chance.

  he gave the book back today with an agitated tone and told me it was crap and that he didnt want me to show him any other books, he had got to page 21, so had only managed the introduction and 12 pages of chapter 1 of a book with 229 pages (300+ if you include glossary and appendix).. inside were some postit noted with notations he'd written about dates quoting from insight volumes and scripture inspired to "correct" the dates in the book for events and dates of reigns like manassahs and hezekiahs.. basically he got mad that the book disagreed with what his drone cult brain read in the wts volumes and refused to read any further.. ffs he didnt even look at another outside source at all, just assumed the book was making error after error on dates and got annoyed.. i am shocked he could be just that dumb.

  He pointed at his 2yr old daughter playing on the floor and said "If she dies because she can't get a blood transfusion, OH WELL!!!" and he shrugged his shoulders.

  That is astonishing and creepy. How could he be so lackadaisical about his own child's life?

  I sat right up! I WOULD knit something for Mad-Eye Moody, only I think a scarf is a better idea. A good long scarf in strange colors with pockets and loops and hooks and secret buttons. But, don't count me in among the dweebs with no life who have nothing better to do than fantasize about knitting for fictional characters. That's not me. Mad-Eye Moody is a special exception.

  So nice not to have to go in field service and then go home and do chores.

  I slept late! I've had construction workers outside the windows at 7:30 a.m. all week. Not on Saturday, thank goodness. I did a lot of errands, sat in the garden and gossiped with a neighbor, that sort of thing. A very idle, lovely day.
