Malawi Party Card vs US Passport HYPOCRISY of Gibbering Buddy

by hamsterbait in

as we all know jws were persecuted in malawi, beaten tortured and murdered, because they would not purchase (for about 70 cents) a card saying they support the political rule at that time.

if they did they wd be df .. what must a us citizen do in order to get a passport - and how in god's name do the wt leaders get one without a compromise nobody else wd be allowed to make?.

is this another case like the change on vaccinations in 53,because nathan homo knorrr knew he cd die of tropical diseases touring the third world.

I was told years ago that the GB carry "diplomatic passports" hence don't have to concern themelves with oaths or pledges of loyalty.

by Witness 007 in

bethel writer see's a fatty bethelite take the last bread roll at lunch...should he vent his feelings thru jehovahs holy watchtower magazine...why not!!.

watchtower 1974p.167 "...by over indulging in food....he fails to show love for jehovah god...is food a big thing in his life?

does he selfishly ignore others needs and take more then his share?

Jesus Christ, what havent they commented on? What hasnt there been a questio from the readers about? I mean, excercise? Chess? Eating too much? Eating too little? What havent the WT given an opinion on? Anyone?

Fabric stores. WT has never commented on the number of hours one can spend in a fabric store. After the fabric store the sisters always stop for a bite to eat.

McDonalds, anyone?

I can hear soooo many things wrong with the reasoning and logic in this video, so much that I had to stop listening, it is so Wrong!

It's all about force; forcing your child into baptism by the early teens at the latest, forcing your child out in service every Saturday morning, forcing your child to attend every meeting.

The parental mention of letting the child's heart do the motivating is minimized into extinction and the parent's reasoning demeaned.

The Jonah example is ridiculous; to say that Jehovah forced Jonah to go to Ninevah because the alternative was another ride in the Big Fish takes away all personal choice from the individual. But then, isn't that what WT is all about?

Disgusting.

Loyalty to Org Over Everything Else Part 2

by startingover13 in

a few months ago i posted about the dilemna i was facing with my girlfriend and getting reinstated.

a little under a year ago, both of us were disfellowshipped for sexual immorality.

while it was difficult, we promised to stick together through it, work our way toward marraige, and eventually return.

AnneB

Loyalty or integrity, which is first?

That question came up 30 years ago in my Book Study group...after the meeting, when we were out for coffee, of course.

Now it's your turn to answer, and to live with your choice.

I can only tell you that it's rough either way.

What words has the WT redefined?

by Splash in

these days, virtually every public talk speaker thinks it's interesting and intellectual to include a dictionary definition of some word.

often the word is in common use and needs no explanation, such as 'exercise', or 'knowledge', or whatever.. now contrast that to all of the words that the wt has it's own meaning for, and referencing a dictionary for the common understanding of it would be viewed unfavourably.. words like 'generation' or 'men' (as in jesus is mediator between god and 'men' - 1tim 2:5-6).. what words have the wt redefined that you know about?

- i'd like to compile a list if possible.. splash.

Be sure to include WT's definition of "Lie" as written in the Aid book.

In speaking of Satan being confined to the earth, the elder said that Satan was "canned" (fired, sacked, terminated from his heavenly position). Then he said "you know what happens when something is "canned"; it's put under pressure." He conflated cookery with job termination to make his point that Satan has great anger because he was thrown out of heaven.

*sigh*

The talk may still be online...Bob someone-or-other, in Pennsylvania.

watchtowers army assault on our vulnerable elderly in nursing homes

by friendaroonie in

jw
friends

its been a long time since i have been this enraged at the evilness and shameless exploitation by the jws.

i just got back from the meeting (dont ask) and sat through the km article laying out plans to mass convert nursing homes all over the world.

i am not going to labor the obvious ethical travesty of this plan but i will say that it constitutes a major public health risk.

When I lived in a southern state there was one nursing home in the entire county. The elders knew there was an "annointed" residing there, a Rutherford-era guy who smoked and hadn't kept up with the changes...and wasn't disfellowshipped.

When Memorial time rolled around there was big discussion about who would bring this man to the Kingdom Hall and the upshot was that the elders would bring the emblems to him at the close of the meeting that night.

It didn't happen. The elder in charge said that the annointed could partake up to 30 days afterward, and the matter was dropped. The next time I inquired the elders thought maybe the man had died, so a trip to the nursing home would be unnecessary.

That's how little attention will be paid to the new directive. It's all CYA, folks, to maintain their nonprofit religious and educational status, and to produce "evidence" if asked.
