its a great label isnt it, I was tarnished with a label of " he may have been in the truth but was never part of it" in my JC, I used to like "running ahead of the organisation, or he is not showing humility" other words used to judge someone are "chided or rebuked"

"not doing well spiritually"
by Introvert 2 inworking late tonight i just thought this up : whenever we used to hear someone say " so and so is not doing well spiritually™ " or "not doing well in the truth™ " what it really means is they aren't doing well climbing the wtbts's corporate ladder or doing their beck and call following the herd cult thingy.
been brought up before but had to share..feel free to add..

Randy's work was brilliant when he set up Bethel Ministries later Freeminds , I was hooked reading each journal, my own testimony was printed! I know he's suffered health issues though.

dont worry your little self Rulhayl about Christmas parties, jeehovah really isnt interested , the organisation you are involved with were very happily celebrating them and birthday parties back in the day, and another thing you say you are a "bible student" studying the bible, that is not strictly true is it? you are studying a book, and I wouldn't mind betting the bible is very seldom used, let me give you a little tip, learn to read the bible without any additional material with it, read it on its own, also when you resume your bible study ask if you can have the study just using the bible and see what the jw's say, you may learn a few things. Those seven men you speak of have the blood of thousands on their hands, dont think for one second they are seven humble men upholding the rules of jeehovah, you couldn't be further from the truth, these so called rules that you mention have changed countless times over the decades,you seen the news items on child abuse that this organisation has been complicit in covering up? it really is endemic, you might want to look at The Australian Royal Commission enquiry, The Candice Conti court case, the recent BBC news, the BBC Panorama programme Suffer Little Children,(silentlambs.org) in the meantime jwfacts.com is an excellent recourse material that you should be looking at.

I think a good few years on death row followed by the electric chair for him and his followers would have been the best way to deal with him and his followers. I was watching an interview with Susan Atkins who I believed plunged the knife into Sharon Tate and even though she had converted to Christianity in jail had been a model prisoner etc she still seemed to be unable to be truly remorseful for that horrendous act of evil, their subsequent behaviour before and during the trial was almost as sickening, any wonder she was continually refused parole, she died of brain cancer, and an amputated leg in 2002, the other two are greying old ladies and lets hope they die in jail also.

plastered all over the website, the company I worked for yesterday had an internal monitor showing segments of all kinds of things related to the company but the BBC headline on it was visible on it.

Formerbrother; there are no underground bunkers, there will be no printing or bookbindery its all coming from Selters, Chelmsford will be an expensive white elephant riddled with errors that will have to be rectified like what happens on almost every construction project your lot undertake, it will be nothing more than a care home and will provide accommodation for the elites,your organisation is still selling off KH's Bethel homes worldwide while they consolidate the terrible growth around the world, the celestial chariots wheels have fallen off! apathy has spread to your own people like a gangrene and the general public dont want to hear a hate filled doomsday message anymore.

there was enoch who god 'transfered' so he wouldn't see death and elijah who god took away in a flaming chariot hidden in a whilwind!

TREG, there wont be any resurrection, try and accept that, it cant work, it goes beyond all the realms of science,reality and basic common sense, a pipe dream, the brainchild of a madman, "the evidence suggests" you care to offer some? LOL

sad in a way to have a poor old lady in advanced years running around like this in a deranged state when she should be taking it easy and enjoying her retirement, its clear she is in the early stages of some sort of dementia, it just goes to show the damage that years of indoctrination does to a healthy mind,the talk of her other son travelling to the UK and holing up there until the end comes is seriously disturbed shit, she must have heard somewhere of this vast underground complex that was being built there where they will all hole up until the Big A has finished, the only problem is there is no vast underground complex,think we would have heard by now if the WTS were going to start with these kind of profound plans.
