You might be a Jehovah's Witness if.......

by Sour Grapes in

you might be a jehovah's witness if, to not feel guilty on saturday morning, you ride in a car with a group of adults driving in circles around town taking turns to get out one at a time to knock on a door that you hoped no one would answer.. you might be a jw if going on vacation meant going to a summer regional or district assembly where you did not need to pack shorts, tennis shoes, or tank tops.

.

you might be a jw if for lunch at the summer convention you and your family ate breakfast food from the holiday inn where you are staying for the summer assembly.. you might be a jw if the first thing that you think about when waking up in the morning is that it is meeting night.. you might be a jw if you introduce a person to another jw, not by the person's name by as my bible study.. you might be a jw if you don't celebrate christmas but will take the money from your employer to not come to work so that you can celebrate it..

Craziest Speculations You’ve heard about the end and paradise

by Addison0998 in

we’ve all heard them all our life.

my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.

oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

Don't buy any used items from thrift stores because it could be a bridge for the demons.

J.W's Brain LOCKDOWN

by Phizzy in

i know we often talk of the mind control and how jw's believe what they are taught because they are controlled as to the information they receive, but i think the mind control goes frighteningly beyond simply keeping information away from them.. the jw mind is in lockdown.

it simply cannot accept facts, evidence, reasoning or whatever that goes against what they believe.

they cannot assimilate and consider an argument, it is not that they are being awkward, or willfully blind, their minds are so shut down they are incapable of taking in what is being presented.. i am aware of how, in common with other cults and high control groups the j.w org achieves this state among its members, but how on earth do we open such a solidly closed mind ?.

Sour Grapes

All you have to do is watch the cart crashing video. Once the JDubs spot the apostate they won't greet, look at, talk or answer simple questions even though other people are watching what is going on. The JDubs behavior is so unchristian. Jesus did not back down from the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus had the truth whereas the JDubs have a nice bag of steamy shit freshly cast by the 8 popes to base their life's and believes on.

Two big points that need to be emphasized in JDub pedophile discussions

by Sour Grapes in

i love watching the jw cart crashers on youtube and how the zombie, brain dead, we are so much better than you jdubs react.

when they do talk a little about the two witness rule they will mention the need for proof and the testimony of the poor child is just not enough to take the inquiry any further.. the reason for calling the police is immediately is that dna can be gathered from the poor victim.

this evidence is the second witness used for prosecution.

The reason for calling the police is immediately is that DNA can be gathered from the poor victim. This evidence is the second witness used for prosecution. The elders will first call the Headquarter's legal department for direction and then set up some meeting with the victim on a nonmeeting night. Valuable time has been lost for DNA collection. The Witlesses don't want a second witness and want to sweep this under the rug to avoid bad press.

The second thing is that if the JDub pedophile confesses and is disfellowshipped and the police are not involved, the Witlesses have knowledge of a pedophile that is now free to take advantage of other "worldly" children and become his next victims. I guess the Witnesses reason that is not our problem and the children are going to die soon anyhow by the loving God Jehovah. Even when a pedophile has been disfellowshipped and wants to return to the Borg, the congregation is not even made aware that a pedophile is in their midst.

The JDubs are one crazy, godless, cold-hearted cult.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation

by Listener in

the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

Do any of the 144,000 in heaven take part in the destruction at Armageddon?

by Bonnie_Clyde in

i wondered about that when i heard garret loesch state that shortly before the tribulation the governing body would be taken up.

.

if this is the case, it seems like garret and the other seven would be there just in time to help out in the killing of billions.. i thought they used to say that some would survive armageddon before they were taken up..

Sour Grapes

The whole thing is complete insanity. JDumbs seek little crumbs from the 8 Popes to reaffirm that they have not wasted their lives and that they must have the Troof.

The Hateful 8 are looking forward to having a share in the butcher job that the desert god will do as billions of innocent men, women, children, and babies die for the crime of not being a JDub.

Famous last words spoken by every jdub at one time or another

by nowwhat? in

"oh i'm not going to worry about it, armageddon will be here by then!".

-including me.

The closing talk at the District Summer Convention in 1974, "Will there be conventions next year? We will just have to wait and see what happens."

My impressions of the cart witnessing

by Sour Grapes in

i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

Sour Grapes

The Jobots love the cart work. Getting their hours have never been so easy. The rules are...don't engage in any conversations with people walking by, keep warm with coffee as needed, don't push our literature on people to save the costs and make sure your phones have a full battery before you start your time.

Are the 8 superstar Popes planning a purge?

by Sour Grapes in

jw
friends

there are over 8 million jdubs and i would venture a guess that at least 20% to 30% are pimo.

in my opinion, the kingdom hauls are only half full for two reasons....many have left but the majority are pimo and any little excuse will keep them home and they will report their token ghost hours in service.

all it takes to stay home is being tired, too much school homework or i will go next week, no doubt many have taken part-time jobs and the fear of working the second shift and the guilt of missing meetings is gone.

Sour Grapes

Slow Burn...I was just thinking that due to the money crunch the Borg says they have that there would be a future requirement to leave all one's money, real estate, jewelry to the Borg since they say all of our valuables belong to Jehovah anyway.
