  6/15 WT - WT Society can Run it's Business - but JW's Can't Have their Own

  by flipper in

  2. friends

  in the typical do as we say , not as we do type mentality - the wt society puts forth in this current wt study article ( jw's only wt ) - that it's not " advisable " or " reasonable " for jehovah's witnesses to seek entering their own business ventures , or further themselves by getting a college education, or even have a career - due to the imminent coming of the alleged " end of the system " or alleged " paradise " .

  the guilt and control used here is ridiculous.

  in the article titled , " why put jehovah's service first ?

  because who is going to pay for all the CO's and DO's and BO's and ZO's if all the masses go into minimum wage work and can't take care of themselves,

  much less their organization!?

  There will always be some of them who will ignore the crap and do what they want despite what the GB says. They will then be guilted into providing for all the fools who did the bORG's bidding and then they will all just eek their way through life claiming that Jehovah is providing just what they need and the wealthier brothers are so generous and loving and they take care of them and yada yada yada

  Isn't this just amazing bullshit in fact now I think the bORG is spreading the GB's shit on their WT and AW rags in addition to bullshit. Makes it more from God that way.

  It must be God's organization because ...

  by biometrics in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many times have you heard a jw say something along the lines of "this must be god's organization because of [insert reason here]".

  most of those reasons could equally apply to almost any organization on earth, including secular businesses.. the most recent one i heard was from an elder trying to convince someone why the watchtower is god's organization.

  his reason was because "it [the watchtower] wouldn't have lasted this long without god's backing".

  if you knew that a murder would take place and did.

  nothing to stop it would you share some responsibility?.

  if you knew that your neighbor was going to be robbed.

  I made it!! I'm just so freaking happy!!!

  as some of you know, i started college 5 years ago for the first time at age 27. i had been out of the "truth" for 9 years at that time, but had just broken free of the mentality.

  well, on saturday i walked across the stage with the 130th graduating class at rocky mountain college!.

  after 5 years of working several jobs, taking care of two little boys as a single mom, and trying to get the most out of my college experience, i earned my master of accountancy, bachelor of science in business management, and minors in writing and organizational leadership.

  YHWH and the English Translation

  by allyouneedislove in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so i was doing research on yhwh in the hebrew scriptures.

  i see that the wt admits that yahweh is a more accurate hebrew pronunciation of yhwh.. but, is jehovah an acceptable way to translate yahweh into english?

  if not, what is the best way to translate yhwh into english?.

  Why some cults may be healthy

  by Mr Facts in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  for your information, not all cults are destructive as may be generally assumed.

  as a therapist, i will list the folowing points as reasons why some cults may be healthy, especially the jw organisation.. 1) their stand on material prosperity shields their members from unnecessary worries of life.

  their constant emphasis on simple life prevents you from entering into debt-imposed problems safeguarding you from the possibilities of sleepless night, financial stress and the rest .. 2) their behavioural control mechanism helps to constantly keep your lives in checks and balance by injecting sanity into your conscious being.. 3) reporting you deviant thoughts, feelings, and actions to leaders helps to coordinate your life and brings it in conformity to impeccable manners(the desire of every sane human mammal).. 4) their extensive use of cult generated information and propaganda constantly triggers your consciousness for the need to do things right (a positive reinforcement).. 5) their ethical use of confession makes you see that the universe cares for you and you are not alone in the grand scheme of things.. 6) their loaded languages offers you feelings of belonging, which we all aspire in a secluded and socially quarantined world.. .

  my crazy Italian roommate

  angelo is an accomplished surfer, a part-time womanizer (aren't all italians?

  ), and one of the most honest and intelligent attorneys you will ever find.

  he was on the bar in florida before he moved in here about 12 years ago, joining the five of us renting a big old house built in 1934 (and never renovated).

  Sounds like we could be seeing a TV series soon "Angelo's Law" base on a public defender living in Manhattan Beach with 5 other people one being an ex JW. It could be a weekly hour crime drama where the 5 others living with Angelo help him find the real criminal and get his client off.

  Known Pedophile takes young boy to bathroom at circuit assembly....WTF?

  by QuestioningEverything in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  my mil's circuit assembly was this past weekend.

  she came over for dinner to our home after the assembly.

  in conversation, it came up that a known pedophile was seen walking to the bathroom holding a young boy's hand-no relation to the boy at all, although that wouldn't make a difference!

  My MIL said she just "prayed to jehovah to be able to pay attention to the brother's talk and not worry about seeing him walk with that little boy.

  This is a perfect example of the blinders JW's are programmed to put on.

  All of us wore those blinders to some degree or another.
