I was told I'd never graduate high school....

by lisavegas420 in

and now...look at my grandchildren.

the youngest started kindergarten this year.

the best part, is he had no fear.

lisa how good is it that your grandchild can go to school as a normal kid without all the hang ups and restrictions that go with being a JW schoolkid. I hated being the odd one out all through my school years. Unfortunately for me my parents became JWs when I turned 5 and was just about to start school. I was told I would never get to high school, then I was told I would never finish it before the end came. Well I finished high school in 1974 - that's 35 years and counting. Oh and my own son has also finished high school.

The Faithful Slave - His Story - History

by Son of Man in

i do nothing of my own accord........ as i make my way into work i see everyone glued to the television in the conference room listening to reports of an attack by terrorists in the united states.

video is being played over and over again showing how the airplanes flew directly into the twin towers.

and thereafter the buildings do colapse.

by JT in

jw

had enough asked :.

if you haven't already related to us the experiences at bethel that you told to your mom-in-law, (or even if you already have told us) could you tell us about what you told her.....and...what is "g-jobbing" (sorry for my naivity) .

i didn't want to take away from sl post about his mother but i thought a little insight into the world of the bethelites would be interesting this am.

Just found this thread and read through all of it. Real eye opener into the going ons in the hallowed halls of brooklyn.

Have things changed much there over the last few years?

What are the means the WTS use to ensure that the organisation never crumbles?

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the wts are a group of men in new york who have built an organisation that probably will never crumble.

their success comes from not debating anyone,becoming unapproachable,and answering to no one.

they use lawyers,elders,circuit overseers,and district overseers as a front to distract and distance everyone.. how can we or anyone fight an organisation that you cannot see or talk to?.

Is this really what JWs use to "attract" people?

These videos were nothing but manipulative emotional blackmail designed to make young JWs feel guilty if they do anything other than pursue a career of full time service (slavery) to the WTS.

Messages for the bethal watchers...

by highdose in

jw
friends

since we have had it recently proved that we are indeed being watched and monitored by the suits at bethal, i thought it would be fun to start a thread just for sending messages to these people... we can be sure they will be read;).

i'll start... " ha!

i've escaped well and truly and theres no way anyone of you will ever find me again!

For everyday bethelites:

Please bethelites do not ignore those little niggling feelings you get from time to time telling you that something is not right. And please don't ignore those alarm bells that ring in your head. Something is wrong. Don't let fear stop you from finding out what it is.

For those bethelites at the top:

What goes around comes around. You know what you are doing is wrong and someday you will pay for the lives you have destroyed by your evil cruel policies.

The WTS and Frequent Liar Points

by Hopscotch in

i have read on here of the frequent flyer points racked up by bethelites etc on wts business and it made me think of this.. .

frequent liar points.

the wts has told so many lies to its members, the public and the media that if there were points accumulated for frequent lies then surely they would have a huge tally of them.. .

Hopscotch

I like that one WuzLoves - very appropriate

Further to what Trevor posted about JWs and psychiatrists, my thought is:

If JWs are the happiest people on earth then why are so many of them on antidepressants?

Lurkers and Jehovah's Witnesses- The WT Lied to you about " Generation "

i know this has been re-hashed many times here.

in great detail with quotes from former watchtower articles, etc.

i'm going to cut to the chase and just make this brief and direct.

Flipper

I remember as a child and teen in the 60's and 70's doing our Sunday door to door presentation and reading the householder the required 3 scriptures. We often used Mt 24 or the critical days one from Timothy, then Revelation 21 about making all things new or Peter about new heavens and new earth and the final one to prove that this was going to happen in the very near future was Luke 21 "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur. That scripture was the clincher so to speak.

Just another thing I remembered about the generation thing.
