"Never stop your enemy when he's making a mistake" - Napoleon

by JeffT in

so yesterday when i went to the library there were three older gentlemen in suits standing around the front door.

i spotted the stand with the magazines a second or two later.

they were talking among themselves, totally ignoring everybody walking past them.

I remember my mom taking me to stand on the corners in San Pedro with that canvass bag holding the magazines around her neck. She spoke to all who dared to make eye contact. This "cart" is the beginning of the end. What the borg is loosing is the ability to motivate people to really preach. The rank and file do not study like in the past, they don't have the exposure to the mind set by the former 5 meetings/week. I don't believe they have the ability, training, knowledge or motivation to preach like in the past. Just a public exposure to keep their tax free statis until they roll up the carpets.

I am a proud Jehovah's Witness Defender

by Matthew Jefferson in

my name is matthew j and i have just ended my study with the jehovah's witnesses.

no, i did not stop studying because i believe the jehovah's witnesses are a 'cult', i left due to the minor beliefs that i hold that remain separate from the organization.

i called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that i do not wish to continue my studying.

Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Ever Do Anything For Anyone But Themselves?

i was thinking of how witnesses were always admonished to take care of their own before they should ever help a worldly neighbor.

i don’t think they ever do anything for the community unless it’s a benefit to them..

My father, never became one, said of my mother.....A person could die for water in front of her but unless they were a JW she wouldn't help.

so much is said regarding men , in a negative way.

shaving commercials are now lecturing us as to how bad we really are.

men should be less masculine.

I think it might be better to say the problem is not men in general. The problem, which is universal, is the Patriarchy and all of its entitlements and assumptions, I refer to women who support this as "Cheer leaders". Their whole existence being to serve the Patriarchy and be defined by it.

Family reunion

by smiddy3 in

jw

my wife and i just enjoyed a family reunion with both my sons ,one wife and one grandchild 10 years old ,where they stayed at our house for a week .. the best week we have had for many a year .

the couple live only 2 hours away by car and the other son and his child live 2 states away 2 hours by plane.. and thankfully they are no longer associated with the borg that i now regretfully brought them up in , so the borg will never get their children.. it was a happyfying time .

I love a happy ending!

Did you actually read the bible end to end?

by Ultimate Axiom in

in my ten years as a witness i never read the whole bible end to end, what with four magazines a month, the book study, meetings and talk preparations, there just wasn’t the time.

i knew all the important references to ‘prove’ the various jw doctrines, and the cherry picked chapters that help foster the idea that it’s a good book, but that’s not reading it.

well after nearly forty years out, i decided i would do it.
