Adding insult to injury when the WT kicks out a congregation from their hall

by nowwhat? in

not only does the organization confiscate the hall the congregation owns.

but then the former congregants are told to continue to pay for utilities and they are still responsible for upkeep and maintenance.

so they still have to cut the grass etc.

The Wizard of Oz

does anyone else see the similarities between the wizard of oz and the gb?.

it's kind of like when the curtain is removed and you find out it's all smoke and mirrors.

plus dorothy wakes up at the end!.

the example was used against me as evidence in my JC on the charge of apostasy,( I had used the example previously) I was finding it all rather amusing

Serena William is 'fighting for women'?!

by LoveUniHateExams in

so serena williams lost the us open final 6-2, 6-4 to naomi osaka, her japanese-american opponent.. williams received three code violations from the umpire, carlos ramos: .

1. a warning for illegal coaching (subsequently admitted by williams's coach).

2. a point penalty for smashing her racquet.

deplorable behaviour and sums up what a vile PoS she really is , I really think she is suffering from some sort of mental illness, I'd worry about her in the future, thats the end results of being raised as a jw!

How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?

by Sour Grapes in

a circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.

many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.

well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

jookbeard

wasn't there a story of a Smurf yelling obscenities in a KH also? and dancing?

(How) Will The Slow and Subtle WT Internal Shift Affect Us?

by Solzhenitsyn in

as a "deep pimo" i can say that there is a confirmed re-branding.

the coordinators committee formed a focus group from service and teaching committees.

the results of that group roughly three+ years ago, with gb approval, trickled down to the other committees and eventually into what we have been seeing before our eyes in the org and local congs.. pick an organizational level and see the shift.

thanks for the info Solz, look forward to any more updates

District Assemblies now being held at Circuit Assembly locations?

by ShirleyW in

i haven't been to a kh in decades, so i get the google alerts for jws and i got one featuring a local news channel in brooklyn covering the assembly being held in flatbush, brooklyn.

i'm sure that venue is where the circuit assemblies are usually held, keeping in mind it's summer and that's when the district assemblies are being held.

why are they acting like they're so strapped for cash and now holding district assemblies in circuit assemblies locations ?.

jookbeard

always knew this would happen, CA's are a waste of everyone's time , the apathy that is poisoning the R&F is clear to see even with the idiots of the GB, in a few years time I doubt you will even see many more RC's the aged ever decreasing population have been rinsed of $$$$$$$,the golden goose isnt laying any more golden eggs anymore, austerity for the distant never ending future, who'd have thought that a business based on a 1950's model could possibly have problems in the 21st century? LOL the guy who just flung wire coat hangers in a bin for 50 odd years at HQ and was paid a pittance that needed food,water and a roof over his head and healthcare is really biting them on their stupid butts! turned out that slave labour was far more expensive then they ever thought.

Blood Transfusions

jw

take a wild guess who dreamt up the idea about no blood transfusions for jehovah’s witnesses in the first place?

charles russell, the founder of the church?

judge rushford, the alcoholic and second president?

jookbeard

I thought Knorr was involved in sponsoring The Nazi Parties research into bloodless surgery?

I Wonder What Tony Tightpants Morris Thought Of Prince?

by pale.emperor in

we all know tony the turd has an obsession with boys in tight pants.

i cant help but wonder what he thought about brother nelson (aka.

prince) who was known to squeeze into some tight numbers from time to time?.

jookbeard

I'm sure Wacko Jacko and Prince greased enough of the GB's palms with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to not make the blindest bit of difference.

What JW habits do you still have?

by Exelder in

since leaving the jw's after over 4 decades, i can see exactly what it is and hate everything it stands for.

however, there are still some jw habits and traits that i can't get rid of:.

1. i can't swear in general conversation (i'd have to be really angry).

jookbeard

like EverApostate I purposely do as many things that jw's hate as possible, I love to curse and swear and never leave an opportunity to do so, I also love to blaspheme, you cant beat a good old bit of blasphemy

"Blood Guilty"

by new boy in

jw
friends

guilt is such a wonderful tool used by the jehovah’s witnesses.

one of the terms they love to use is the term “blood guilty.” they have actually used this term to guilt their members into doing more and more “house to house activity” yes, they have said on numerous occasions at their kingdom halls and other major gathering that a person “could be blood guilty” for not going out in the field service activity enough.

the reason is simple.

jookbeard

love it dont they, plus "sinning against the holy spirit" which I was accused of, the irony is that the WTS is guilty of both
