  Cognitive Dissonance and my JW Mum!

  by lurkernomore in

  so, my mum is a massively obedient little dub!

  i knew this before showing more negativity towards the borg.

  i recently fell into the trap of shooting my mouth off about all the things that i felt were wrong with the borg, after her ass kissing comments got the better of me.. my other half's grandmother has also learned ttatt over the past few months as has most of her immediate familly in fact.

  some ridiculous lame excuses being spouted by them, more printing ! are they sure? do they realise the amount of branch closures? there is less printing being done now then ever, I take it the property fund from the Crooklyn property sales that must be close to a billion $'s dose not make any difference to them?

  Terminology the Society Hates?

  by toweragent in

  in my most recent talk, i got counseled for using some terms that were not prefered.

  for example i said "new testament" rather than "the christian greek scriptures".

  i also used the term "gospel", but even worse, i made reference to the "synoptic gospels" and the "gnostic gospel".. i guess i never thought of it before, but when i looked at the societies information on the matter they always say things like, "the so-called new testament..." or "the so-called synoptic gospels..." why with all the "so-called?".

  the Wizard of Oz comparison to the GB, I memntioned it a few times when evidence was being gathered for my JC, (kangeroo court another one) and when the term, was used in the hearing the elders looks could kill!

  Born Again is another, plus heaping praise and respect on other Bible translations I also made a mistake of bringing an NIV to a meeting once, not a good move

  Still nothing credible?

  by Separation of Powers in

  i can hardly believe that anything new is gonna be announced at the annual meeting.

  i mean, there is absolutely no one i know in this organization capable of keeping a secret and we haven't heard anything but "big changes are coming" "just wait and see" "big things are in the works" and my personal favorite posted by one of our members who was told not to diassociate because "things are gonna be announced that will change your mind".. no one i know at the hall or in positions of responsibilty has ever been able to keep anything confidential.

  it's always been like the character on in lving color, "i aint one to gossip...but you didn't hear that from me.".
