Too many partakers in the org? Help is on the way!

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

is someone in your congregation confused?

coming soon to the local congregations:.

anointification neutralizer100 suppositories.

With the 2012 increase of Memorial partakers again, it sounds like WT should begin forcibly administering these in both suppository and effervescent tablet forms.

Perhaps they should also develop these Anointification Neutralizers as shotgun shells.

"Eight souls were saved in Noah's time. The increase or decrease of the organization is irrelevant to me. That's up to Jehovah..."
Neverknew: "Wth do I do with that? "

In the most haughty tone that you can muster, you reply with some shock, "These reports are part of the spiritual food that Jehovah provides through his 'Faithful Slave', much like the reports about Jesus' and Paul's ministries which are recorded in Scripture. If you are suddenly having issues with Jehovah's direction of his 'irrelevant' organization, as you call it, I'd suggest that you go talk to the elders about your doubts, or else I will talk to them for you."

With yet another increase in the nibblers and sippers, it sounds like I need to BTTT this thread for the GB's consideration.

typical circuit assembly

by nowwhat? in

on the plus side there was good council about families and then there is that special feeling of the brotherhood you get.. on the negative side, the d.o.

gave the "ol talk about the "busier we are, it won't seem like the new world is taking so long" talk.

that's fine if you do'nt work for a living.

Bashing the Super Bowl? What happened, was this CO tired of talking about Internet porn and apostates?

Watchtower Corporation enters new business to help sheeples see that the end is very, very near!

by Billy the Ex-Bethelite in

my dad heard from the co who heard from a do that heard from his brother-in-law that heard from the friend of a governing body's wife, that the gb is getting very concerned that "the friends" are losing sight of the nearness of the panda-petting paradise.

many of these friends are also looking too critically at the "spiritual food" provided by the "faithful slave class.".

don't tell anyone else, but i hear that the gb has begun testing something new on some of the sheeple.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

Time to add to my favorite thread I started this year...

WT is doing market research into their "Paradise Spheres". Don't mistake them for crystal balls. These are non-demonic devices that dubs can gaze into to visualize a future of petting pandas or burying slaughtered neighbors and non-JW family members.

What evidence is there for Jesus (NOT USING THE BIBLE)?

by punkofnice in

i have often wondered if there is any actual archealogical evidence that jesus existed other than the claims of the bible.. i don't want to go down the route of 'you can't prove he didn't exist' as this is tiresome.

or 'well pontius pilate existed we found a stone with his name on so it follows jesus existed!

' that won't cut it.

Just look at everything that has been written about Harry Potter or Edward Cullen. We even have motion pictures of them showing their daily lives. What more proof do you need that they are also real?

Edit to add: OMG! And how can we forget Santa? Just look at all the presents he's given, pictures that he's in, and books and movies featuring him. People may try to question the existance of Jesus, but who can deny that Santa Claus is really real? Only the Grinch, that's who!

I almost wished i took the blue pill....

by 20yearfader in

since joining this site and having my eyes opened,i find i'm now dealing with a lot of emotions that were suppressed.one being the passing of loved ones,in the org we were discouraged from showing proper emotions due to the fact that if you did you were considered weak since they the dearly departed were only sleeping.now im being bombarded with dreams of my loved ones that i,due to my brainwashing never had the emotional release that i should have had.i'm just wondering how others on this site are coping,and dealing with the fact that everything we was taught was false almost as a way to keep up under control,as we lost years and decades of time.i almost wish i keep my head and the sand and had taken the blue pill.what has helped you all deal with this ...new religion......no religion...etc.

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

Adding my voice to the chorus. There is an avalanche of emotions that come with waking up, but I don't regret the decision to leave. If anything, I'd say that I wish I'd rejected the blue pill long ago.

Besides counselling, going back to get my degree, and the other changes I've made to move on, I did go and visit my grandparents graves for a belated heart-to-heart. It was much more therapeutic that I thought it would be.

Notes from a Talk on Evolution

by simon17 in

so i've been cleaning out my house of theocratic stuff, but its still fun to look through everything and see how life was.

i looked through my study copies of bookstudy books and can pick the year based on the bands, sports players, songs, etc that are scribbled in the margins out of boredom.

also i laughed at how bored i must have been.
