  Un-****ing-Believable

  by OneFingerSalute in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just a few observations from this morning.

  .. this morning as i was trying to choke back the bile that kept wanting to come up during the wt study one comment in particular screamed cult.. towards the very end as comments were being made about "counseling" others with "gracious" words one of the uber-dub minstral-serpents made this comment, "we see in the last image that the brother is holding a bible as he counsels the other brother.

  we look closely at the picture and we can know exactly what he is counseling the brother about.

  1950 Watchtower Bound Volume now Complete!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the 1950 september 15th watchtower is now complete and this will finish the 1950 watchtower bound volume.

  a big thank you to jaydee for all of his hard work of scanning the watchtowers into jpg files which i received and converted into pdf files and made them searchable.

  jaydee worked day and night to get these files finished for us and i really appreciate his kindness... we only had to darken out one name on one shipping label.

  Because "they" can and do change embarrassing stuff on a CD rom, jworgasm and they can deny "they" wrote it.

  saw this on reddit it was posted by user morgan_sparlock .

  to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!

  its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

  @makemean

  Actually I think many Jehovah's Witnesses are confusing "advertising with veneration".

  Perhaps even conflating homage and idolization?

  @Smiddy

  When you are sat in front of elders (or trying to explain your chosen course to dearly deluded loved ones) and you point to there own publications for proof of what was said they cannot call your source "apostate". They may of course call it old light and then you can ask "what of today's light will be old light in the future?"

  It gives legitimacy to an assertion you make about 1914/1925/1975/the generation/the work that would finish in "our 20th Century" etc etc. It gives a reason as to why you are no longer "whole-souled" to the organisation.

  You cannot be disfellowshipped for showing them what "healthful words" were written in their own publications in the same way as you can for "quoting apostate sources".

  Thank you Atlantis! Thank you very much.

  Even here in the U.K. the lapel badges are making a limited appearance. I expect it among the gushy teenage gurlies and their iphones - but I visited a nearby hall last weekend and there was a brother in his mid-thirties with a flashy jworgasm broach in his suit jacket lapel.

  Facepalm!

  2. friends

  she is michal, her father acts like saul, and i'm david.. i do care for her since she's vulnerable and weak, i consider myself for her protector a personal kevin kostner.but this is very time consuming, nerve wracking endeavour.. she acts childish, insensitive and insecure, i have spent *** dont' know how many sleepless *** nights, in the last 3 months we're playing cat and mouse, cold and warm & i'm fed up.. this kind of irresponsible behaviour is not yet written in the manual for me to look for an answer.. but finally i do know what i need.

  i will look for my bathsheba and settle down..

  I think anyone describing themselves as "theBaus" and portrays himself as being "all that and a bag of chips" needs to get on the bus to the hall of mirrors in maturity land.

  Just found out that my Mum is taking my 3 year old nephew to meetings!

  2. family

  to be precise, he is my brothers nephew but that makes no difference really.

  mum is 71 and a true, hardcore jw.

  she's a good mum but has a real blind spot where her faith is concerned.. i know her.

  Just calmly explain there is a dark side to this religion even if Granny is lovely. Emphasize it messes with kids heads. And any local congregation paedo will not be pointed out to Granny either.

  Despite gran's protestations to the contrary - in among the dancing trolley carts and happy smiley people he will be subtly taught that the downside to his living with Pandas in paradise is that all his kiddie friends will die at Armageddon. And his non JW family ...

  2016-2-17-Destroy Previous S-77 Forms!

  by Atlantis in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  these numbers and letters:--gbr659967--are the only identifying markson this boe..the "informant" who sent it said:.

  "this letter came through the congregation inbox and so hasn't got theusual identifying information.

  the name of the file is probably thebest way to identify it.

  I love the way you see all the legal developments effecting JW's on jwdotorgasm. It's all there. Nothing hidden. Warts and all.

  Pages and pages of stuff about the Australian Royal Commission's investigations into institutional responses to child abuse case study 29 for example ...

  Geoffrey Jackson's holy spirit directed testimony to the ARC as another example ...

  And of course Candace Conti ...

  ... ...

  Then I woke up!
