why are only pioneers allowed to do "metropolitan witnessing"?
why do they need "special training" to stand like a zombie for hours, speaking only to their fellow elite?.
even a pioneer's mother couldn't answer me!.
I don't understand why they need to have anyone stand next to the litteratrash carts. WT printing presses could easily print up lots of these:
The two on the left are obviously defective since they lack ties and one has facial hair. Just stand some cardboard cutouts of the pioneers, let them count the time their cutouts are next to the cart, then let them go out and get jobs or attend college instead of wasting time standing around.
quote from the watchtower, simplified edition, september 2015, "how can we show that we love jehovah?".
higher education often makes them lose their love for god..
The world encourages people to learn, but higher education often makes them lose their love for God.
There's another saying, "ignorance is bliss." In my case, ignorance was bliss for Watchtower Corp because I was a drone that would do whatever the JW clergymen told me. But it wasn't bliss for me. The cognitive dissonance was slowly and painfully killing me.
For me, "higher education" opened up to me "the truth". What WT had been teaching me turned out to be rubbish. And while I stopped attending JW cult brainwashing sessions at the same time I pursued worldly higher education, it wasn't really the higher education that made me lose whatever love for god I had. The fact that WT was nothing but lies and they claimed to be channeling the voice of god, how could I have any love for god after that?
Nope, don't blame my disbelief in god on higher education. WT Corp gets full credit for proving to me that GOD is simply an acronym for Grinding Oppression and Disillusionment.
one way i managed to de-programme myself was to imagine the god of the universe being behind the desicions watchtower were making.
it first came to me when barbara anderson described being in a lift in bethel discussing a property or land sale that didn't go through and her musing over gods involvement.. we are meant to believe that the god who made the universe is behind this...... http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/local/2015/05/12/jehovahs-witnesses-fishkill-tax-exemption/27206609/.
it stinks of greed, business and grandiose expansion.
this is from the last talk of the convention ......... clip 1:30 minutes longhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrej8tlyiso&feature=youtu.be.
Hey ToMo, thanks for bringing up Grampa there around the 20 sec point. Since the time my grandfathers bought into the WT message back in the 30s and 40s, they were promised they would never grow old and die... but they both died about 20 years ago. I should have realized then that WT is just a cult led by crazies that think they are channeling a Bronze Age god.
"... unless you're a toddler", eh? So when the kids are able to walk, it's time to get them baptized? And if they're old enough to drive, the parents should force them into baptism before they can get their license? Do you have a scripture for either of those statements? Or are you just pulling them from your own fat a$s and claiming you channeled it from your Bronze Age god?
I certainly don't recall the bible ever saying anything about drivers licenses, or cars, or airplanes, or nuclear fission, or lots of other things. I do recall the bible saying that the Bronze Age god wasn't able to defeat armies that had chariots with iron wheels. And I remember his law stating that a rape victim had to marry her rapist, which is pretty sick. ToMo, you might has well have said that if a toddler is old enough to get raped and forced to marry her rapist, she's old enough to force into baptism as a JW.
i guess the branch isn't happy with the amount being sent each month since we are way lower than our loan amount.
we now have to another financial survey to see the max amount that can be given.
it is "encouraged" for all to be in attendance and give much forethought and consideration to the amount you can donate each month.
Stuff the donation box with these Chuck Bucks:

again, thanks to wifibandit and pixel for their work behind the scenes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwzviu3jfko.
And the thing is only 16 pages?
Clearly, even the GB couldn't come up with very many reasons that anybody would return to that cult!
I think this forum has come up with a library filled with reasons NOT to return. Kinda makes WT efforts look pretty pathetic.

Right...
Return to Jehovah ... and bring your checkbook and credit card ... NOW!

Hmmm, the organization wants to take a survey of how much each can give.
Here's nice round number that I think is fair:

thanks to wifibandit and pixel for collaborating on this.
more to come.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxce4duetw8.
Everything that happens is part of jehovah's purpose, isn't it? If they doesn't like what has happened in Ireland, he and his Irish-content wife should take issue with how their Bronze Age god is working out his purposes.
Maybe WT should build their new headquarters in someplace more attuned to their moral outlook... like Saudi Arabia, Iran, or the territories occupied by isis.
