so, i am reposting this video from wifibandit's thread since it is a bit off topic.
i watched this video and i have to say that this guy really creeps me out.
his slow and methodical gestures coupled with with his over-annuciation of every word makes him appear absolutely crazy!.
Lett seems so contrived, so exaggerated in his mannerisms. It comes across as condescending and insincere, as if he is speaking to a bunch of young children.
But 90% of brainwashed JW's have about as much ability to tell shit from shovel as a 5 year old, so if the shoe fits...
just when you thought may's jw dot org video featuring wide-eyed cult lunatic gb lett guilting the masses into giving every last dime they have couldn't be topped, your children will now be fed a guilt-inducing cartoon in which they are guilted into giving every last cent they have to the wt cult.
the wt entitles this one, "give us your money!
even your children are to be shaken down!
Someone has to report this to the media. The Guardian would surely be curious. I can see the headline:
"Jehovah's Witness leaders guilt-trip children to donate their pocket money to them"
if we look at all doctrines, we see an overall effort to conserve unity and control.
- assuming most birthdays, if allowed, would probably be oriented to children, then that means 40 celebrations per year.
so all in all, this give a total potential attendance to a birthday of 30 families (120 attendance / 4 family members).
There is scriptural evidence to indicate that Job commemorated his sons birthdays.
The ancient Israelite's held a feast on the third birthday of a child, to celebrate the child's weaning.
A birthday is a wonderful way to let the child know how much it is loved, and to commemorate the gift of life.
Children are a gift from God, the Society says, and a birthday dinner (without all the pagan stuff associated) would be a wonderful way to make the children feel loved and to say thanks to Jehovah for the gift of children.
The JW stance on birthdays is just another fanatical, contrarian position that is so hurtful to children that was developed by single, childless, life-long chronic masturbators like Fred Franz to create a sense of being somehow different and special, set-apart from "Babylon the Great" and the world.
i was very tired today, still am.
age is getting to me.
that video will be shown to millions of parents around the world.
The GB really has reached the nadir in scum-bucketness, saying a little child should donate to them instead of buying an ice-cream.
Is there any more vile a religion except for the religious extremists in ISIS (no sports, no fun) for treating children so horribly than the JW's?
No birthdays, Easter, Christmas (accordingly viewed as a weirdo by schoolmates), no after-school sports, children forced to sit through dull, boring long meetings twice a week with no separate programme for the little ones like other churches do, babies and children to die rather than get an emergency life-saving blood transfusion, a paedophile in every congregation who is almost impossible to kick-out, must go door-knocking as a child magazine seller.....
You can tell the morality of any society or religion by how well it treats it's children, and JW's scrape the bottom of the barrel.
The GB make me puke!
the governing body has recently placed a large priority on simplicity and clarity in their teachings and publications.
the watchtower study edition, march 15, 2015, pages 8-10:.
in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovahs organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
How about this:
Say that "this generation" is simply the same as the "chosen ones" of Matthew 24:22. You heard it from me first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew 24: " 21 for then there will be great tribulation+ such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.+ 22 In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short.+
ok, so i went ahead and got a tattoo.
well more than a tattoo, it is a half sleeve.
my parents haven't seen it, thanks to the chilly weather i've been wearing a sweater around them.
so here's a real life experience you will get a kick out of.. our kh has about 90 publishers.
typical meeting attendance during a co visit is right at 100 or so.
the rest of the time, attendance is a dismal 50-60, sometimes 70 on a good week!.
the first step to fading is to begin missing the meetings.. "if" anyone misses you, a quality excuse must be at the ready.
this will produce empathy toward you as opposed to suspicion.. 1. car problems ( don't mention that you caused them ).
2. stuck on the phone resolving insurance, billing, etc issues.. 3. sick ( of the meetings ).
All you have to do is say "I'm just having a break; will be back soon"
Works like magic.
around three thousand two hundred years ago a tiny tribe of desert pastoralists were called israelites for the first time.
by assuming this name it acknowledged, as was the custom, the name of a god el..
el was a chief sort of god and he had a fabled number of seventy sons including yahweh.
A rather elaborate but not untrue explanation for why ancient superstitious fiction has taken such a hold as fact in the minds of billions of 'modern' human beings.
I could summarise the Bible (real history blended with scary fables) in four simple words: priestcraft and pious fraud.
An example of priestcraft is a cruel method that a bad priest uses to scare the congregation.
A pious fraud is someone whose fraud is motivated by misguided religious zeal.
not on the front page, not in the study articles, but carefully camouflaged in the questions from readers on page 18 (watchtower march 15, 2015).
you can bet most jws wont even read it..
there is no apology...just the usual excuses..
