maybe it's a "common people separated by a common language" thing but i really don't get this.. .
many times i see somebody posting about something that irks them and they say "i could care less.
" but they use it in such a way as to infer they're not really bothered by it all.. .
I believe it simply means: "I find this so unimportant that I don't care about it and if I wanted to I could even care less then I do"
"I couldn't care less" implies that one is at the bottom of caring which would also mean "I don't care at all"
"I could care less" implies that one does not find something important enough to care much about however they could even care less if they chose to think about it long enough.

watchtower says 607 bce.
i decided to dig into this matter myself at the public library yesterday.
i examined every book i could find that contained facts about jerusalem.
I like the info in the youtube video but the narrator sounds condescending and smarmy. (no offense if you're a member here, bro)
I think what the creator of this youtube video is trying to do is act the way some Jdub elders might act if trying to establish a watchtower point of view.
i'm back from the spring assembly, theme "the time left is reduced", 1 corinthians 7:29. the presentations were smug in the face of a torrent of world wide tough news stories.
these should be the glory days for the assemblies.
however, attendance is down, significantly.
ive been lurking here for the past couple of months since i started researching the organization.
i dont have many people to talk to and its been a saving grace to read your posts.. i dont really know where to start so here i go.
its been a long journey getting here and it looks as if i still have a long ways to go to get somewhere healthy, stable and strong.
Welcome hadit. You are now a member of, (as the Watchtower likes to tell it's rank and file) Satan's organization. We are friendly here and some of us are open minded. Fell free to share all of your thoughts with us. Whatever you are experiencing now, someone on the forum has also experienced at one point or another.

the daily text for today is a good way to show dubs that you talk to that everyone except jehovah's witnesses will be destroyed.
i have found that when i do get a chance to say something to a dub about this they usually say "we don't judge so we can't say who will be destroyed" the borg was kind enough to put it in writing for me:.

So the WTS has painted itself into a theological corner. Fortunately for the WTS, most JWs don't think about such things. And those that do rationalize it using "wait on Jehovah" and similar thought-stopping techniques.
I love bringing this issue of people being destroyed up to jdubs when I can. I love to watch them try to skirt around the belief. One of the things I mention is the rate of the world's population growth compared to the rate of jdub growth and I point out to them that every day God waits more people will die at Armageddon. It is a great source of cognitive dissonance for people who are not supposed to want anyone to die at Armageddon.
almost all woman want to get married and have children.
if you are a faithful jw woman there is a good chance this will never happen.
70% of jw are woman and 30% are men.
In my 29 years active, I saw a lot of desperation marriages some have stayed together but many have not.

being an ex cult member i don't understand this... i walk into town and back and on my way theres always these men driving past in cars who honk their horns at me.
is it some form of comunication?
am i supposed to respond in some way???.
It means, "I am a loser with a tiny penis and no brain."
It might be tiny but there is a brain in there and it makes me honk if I see a hottie

I think this is a real chink in the spiritual armor of Jehovah's Witnesses. Most of them don't believe this teaching in any way shape or form. Yet the teaching is still in force no new light yet.
This is a good example of cognitive dissonance in all it's glory. I even had a prominent elder admit to me he didn't believe that every one other then Jdubs were getting killed at Armageddon.
