JW BLOWS WHISTLE!

by bay64me in

thought i'd share some of my experiences with you all!.

sister x, was somewhat of an enigma in the congregation, certainly a 'one-off'!

allegedly she suffered from an 'illness' that incapacitated her at strangely convenient times!

This brought to mind a woman in my old cong. who was 'wheelchair-bound', everyone had the greatest respect and sympathy for her in this disabled state, she had lots of help from everyone and was only too willing to accept it.... then one day I called on her at home unexpectedly and you could have knocked me down with a feather when I saw her standing up at the kitchen sink doing the dishes and then proceeded to walk across the room. A miracle!!!

Then there is the other woman who hobbles along with two sticks and has the same sympathies and fuss made over her... and yes, she has been caught rushing down the garden path to pick in her washing when it starts to rain, and walking her dog briskly along the road (in the dark!!) - not a stick in sight!! Another miracle!!

What hypocrisy and deceit they are showing, pretending to be more vulnerable and disabled than they really are.

Dateline Discussed On JW Board - 3 Pages

several "neat" quotables!!

I've just read through those pages on the JWZONE, good grief - how do some of these people sleep at night??? It honestly makes my heart ache to see so many people being so misled, you feel like grabbing them by the shoulders and giving them a really good shake to wake them up sometimes.

A few quotes which I found particularly sad....

I watched the movies on JW-Media on this and really have no stomach to watch apostates being placed in an informative light. It would have been counterproductive to watch it, so I did something that was far more productive, make food.

I'm not going to watch it either.
But I bet all the opposers will have the popcorn out and'll be lovin' life tonight.

And it's so nice to know...that they won't be loving it for long!

And as for those attempting to stir discontent-Jehovah will always protect His organization and his People. As before, we will emerge better and stronger in the faith.

How misguided they are...

I just went out in service for about 6 hours today and didn't hear one mention of the dateline program last night! All thru returns and street work nothin either. Many were depressed tho and very sad at the group for service this morning and getting out of the car in the territory felt a little strange since we didn't know how people would react. It kind of felt like we were getting out in front of firing squad. Hay, it couldn't be worse then going door to door while the towers collapsed!

Just makes me so glad I left... there is no way I could stomach these attitudes any more.

Good luck for the job - hope you get it, it really is a very special place Caerhays, used to go walking along the beach down the road. Watch out for the cows they keep there though, great shaggy beasts with huge horns, highland cattle I think. Always used to be milling about in the fields by the castle looking very dangerous.

.

I remember it all being very idyllic - fingers crossed for you.

i had an idea that i could build a uk map of everyones location which would show you instantly who is in your area from jwd.. (it might be an idea to do a seperate us one aswell but i'll wait and see if this one takes off first, or if anyone from the us wants to volunteer to do that one).

(and australia but you are all in the same backyard anyway - literally!!!).

anyway, all you have to do is post or email me your username and town and i will draw you on the map above which will change gradually to include everyone!.

individuals wife

Termite: Individual and wife are going to be living in the town right next to yours soon - not too far from me I might add.

That is nice to know! This map is starting to look nicely crowded - long may it continue!!! There must be more of us UKers yet to appear on it....

Circuit Assembly Notes

by Mister Biggs in

hello, everyone.. i somehow managed to endure a circuit assembly this past weekend.

the two positives that came out of it are:.

1) i can easily beat any test of endurance and.

I like the part when we cant sit down after the song
until they tell us to becuase of announcements.

Good point MikeMusto. Always seemed a little strange to me, bit like being a kid at school again. I could never work out why they did this, did they honestly think it would make people listen or concentrate any more if they were made to stand up. I remember being stared at when I had a sleeping toddler in my lap which meant I couldnt stand up, I was made to feel very uncomfortable - why arent you struggling to stand up, you disrespectful woman, the old doddery and infirmfaithful ones are making the effort, so should you.

I suppose the only good thing was the opportunity to stretch your legs before another session that would go on .. and on.. and on.. zzzz

Loved these 2 gems in the Palm Pilot section...

TimePlanner has been updated to fix a bug that occasionally did not calculate totals correctly.

Now that may start to explain the highly inflated times on the monthly report slips....

And the advert... wonder how many JWs will be rushing out to buy this edition as advertised on the same page!

individuals wife

First of all may I commend you for managing to stomach a circuit assembly, have you recovered yet?! Good grief, it used to be hard enough sitting through the programme when I was enthusiastic, I can only imagine what a strain it must be to listen to sit through such deceit, false sentiments and utter nonsense.

I remember so well the 'funny lines' that were usually not funny at all yet everyone felt they were expected to laugh as though it was the most hilarious thing ever said. So false and it only usually served to inflate the ego of the speaker.

Liked your observation about the Catholic Church too, amazing how they can pick and choose their quotes, always to their benefit of course. I just wonder how many in the audience squirmed in their seats at the mention of the paedophile issue, pot calling the kettle black if you ask me.

Looking forward to reading some more of your gems if you get the chance to post them.
