Insulting Terms used by the WashTowel
by punkofnice inloading the language is a propogandist tactic to trigger a reaction in the mind.
a prime example is the word 'apostate'!.
i have been called 'spiritually weak' for quitting field service, meetings etc.. how would you respond (without swearing or giving a punch up the hooter), if you were called this?.

Did having children make you a better or worse JW
by journey-on inafter i had children, i changed gradually in the way i thought about the religion i was raised in.
one day, it dawned on me that if my child was injured in an accident and needed blood to survive, there was no way in the world i would say "no" to a blood transfusion.
why continue the charade?

Interesting you tube video
by alanv inwatching this video left me wandering a bit iif a person is wrongly disfellowshipped for whatever reason and they appeal against it and are then reinstated, would the elders actually announce in the hall that so and so has been reinstated.
if that was so it would be pretty obvious to most people that the disfellowshipping decision was wrong, ie the elders made a mistake.
has anyone here ever had that happen at their kingdom hall in the past.

Who are the Pharisees today?
by dothemath ini find many similiarities between the pharisees and witnesses today......... both used disfellowshipping as a weapon (john 12: 42........"because of the pharisees they would not confess.
him, in order not to be expelled from the synagogue").
both add endless rules, yet forget about the important ones, such as love, etc.

I arranged a 50th wedding anniversary party for my JW parents. It was filled with members of the congregation and all our worldly relatives (mum's got a big family)
I must admit I was worried about mixing the two species together but it actually went fine. The JW's tended to stick together and so did the relatives, mainly because they were strangers to each other. I hired a singer who sung a mixture of old and modern, and there was a bar and a buffet. I didn't worry about opening with prayer or any of that tripe and kingdom songs were way off the menu! There was no smoking in the building anyway so that wasn't an issue.
In the end everybody got up and danced and it was a great evening.
So in all honesty I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure the music isn't too raunchy or it might upset some, otherwise I'm sure the JW's will enjoy being "normal" and just chill.

3/15 WT " Do Not Deceive Yourself "- WT's Excuses for No Armageddon
by flipper inwith the new " overlap generation " theory that the wt society is pushing onto rank and file jehovah's witnesses since last year this article i found really heavy hitting in the jw version of the wt.
the wt society is leaking oil in that confidence is low among jw's in not really buying into the " generation overlap " theory as many younger jw's are exiting the organization.
so what better way to try reeling members back in by giving them an article entitled " do not deceive yourself with false reasoning " !

guy on the left is dressed up for another drama rehearsal because the CO wants to double-check its word perfect. Bro on the phone is angry at another elders meeting being arranged, the 3rd this week. Sister with the kids is trying to get them ready for the meeting when they're tired and cranky whilst hubby is doing more important "theocratic" stuff. Pioneer sister with her magazines checks the clock behind her. Old bro is thinking he's wasted his life on this bullshit and the man next to him has been assigned the "privilege" to look after the old bro.
Happy girl in the middle is Mrs Jones who is now free to wear pants anywhere she likes.
