...And the Watchtower just can’t stop piling on the rules for all the little sheepies to follow... RULES, RULES, and oh, let’s not forget MORE RULES! Seriously, is there even an end in sight?!
And the truth shall set you free...
he will not pressure her to engage in sexual acts that make her feel uncomfortable, that are demeaning, or that bother her conscience..... the bible does not provide details as to what sexual practices between a husband and a wife should be considered clean or unclean.
a christian couple must make decisions that reflect their resolve to honor jehovah, to please each other, and to maintain a clean conscience.
generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage..

proverbs 4:18 says, "but the path of the righteous....grows brighter and brighter until full daylight.".
the bible "light" doesn't get brighter - it never changes - it's a person's direction & course of life which gets brighter.. w11 9/15 p. 14 par.
15 - "when spiritual light on some matter gets brighter, do you try to understand the underlying scriptural reasons for the adjustment?
The WT's use of this scripture simply reveals their lack of integrity and a continued willingness to deceive everyone, this way they delay the consequences of their lies.

shame is an ancient form of control.
shame is the mechanism used to control behaviour.
The content produced by the WT—whether it's videos, books, magazines, or talks—creates a culture where individuals become so self-righteous that they abandon common sense and compassion. The fear of man outweighs the fear of God. Most elders would never admit to watching porn, and understandably so. Who wants to experience invasive questions about their personal life? This only leads to an organization filled with individuals who lead double lives, creating a community of hypocrites who believe they have the right to judge others. True friendship is extremely rare within this organization, because the WT teaches you not to be a friend.
a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.
elder: 'yes.
i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!
-Yes, I do pray everyday for billions on earth to die, just so I can play with the lions.
-Why should I bother having my own thoughts, I let the WT do that for me
-It's true, I don't carry the blood card, this way the Doctors can save my ASS
-I don't study the WT, I just hi-lite the pages randomly so I can appear spiritual
there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.
even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.

ukpimo, what the hell.... your life must suck
For me the CO's last name was a guy called Staryki, something like that, anyways he's a %^^$## ASSHOLE, he abused his power to no end, I guess it was because he must of had no love growing up and his father must of been just as big of an asshole as he was, hopefully he's dead today.

1914 generation is long gone.
1975 was a joke 40 years ago.
i know of many witnesses still hanging on for armagedon but when will they give up?
Phizzy: "It takes humility to admit you have been wrong all your life."
Absolutely, I had to deal with this when I left 20+ years ago. How could I have been fooled all those years? All that time wasted preaching, teaching, pioneering, eldership, attending all meetings, the assemblies, travelling to conventions, accepting discipline and talks from total imbeciles, etc
All this for nothing, no way, It has to be the TRUTH. It was really tough to admit I was wrong and Quit.
I wasn't supposed to see my 13th birthday when 1975 hit, was terrified everyday that year that I would be destroyed, and here we are it's 2024.
I wish there was an easier way to get through to many of my old friends and family that still won't leave.

all elders just got letters about this new blood card system .
“language-coordinating congregations will receive separate parcel(s) containing the revised durable power of attorney for health care (dpa-e) for all congregation(s) in their literature group.“.
my questions are - why the revision and what has been revised?.
My Blood Card
this has been announced on the jw's official website, in the "jw news" section.
this is not a joke.
anthony moron da turd is out as a gluttonous body member!
For JWs, image, status and power is everything. The GB is well aware that removing another member will cause a stain on the whole organization. The chosen by God member can be in a hospital, all plugged in and about to propel himself into heaven, he won't step down, the other members won't allow it. Their position as GBs are too high to leave without repurcussions. If anything, the Org will promote the crap out of the situation and say what a wonderful example he was during his whole JW career, a tribute to his faith while he's on his deathbed. I'm positive that the current GB will never talk or mention this guy again. He screwed up and got kicked out. Their silence is their way of dealing with the aituation and they hope it won't cause too much damage. Anyone being around this Org for many years are very familiar with this MO. - I'm so Fedup with these guys...
