I am a Watchtower survivor
by Sour Grapes in
1. jw
2. experiences
i really like calling myself a watchtower survivor.

it is not demeaning to other people and is not a negative statement.

when a jdub sees that term it may make them think about why i would call myself a survivor.

The "figurative" heart
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
about 25 years ago i gave a talk about how when the bible talks about the heart that it is the literal heart and how the heart and the brain are connected by nerve tissue.

the watchtower even stated that some people who received a heart transplant would take on some of the personality of the donor.then all of a sudden the borg changed and said that when the bible refers to the heart that it is figurative.

then when ever the watchtower referred to the heart it always put the word figurative in front of it.. does anyone know why there was a change in the use of the word heart?

Very happy young drum player
by Sour Grapes in
1. jw
2. experiences
when i saw this young boy play the drums i was really impressed by his talent and the joy that he has.

for some strange reason, i thought of how his life would change if his parents studied with the jdubs and became witnesses.

i could see how the boy's life would change.

Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
my pimi wife listens to a lot of the meetings on the phone with the speaker on.

when i am watching tv i hear the meetings in the background.

i just cringe with how a witless can't give a comment without having said jehovah at least two times.

Why aren't the JDubs receiving more bad publicity concerning the abuse cover-ups?
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i know that the jdubs think that they are the center of the universe and in actuality, no one except ex-jdubs gives a rats ass about these religious crazies.

my question is i read that as a percentage of pedophiles per members, that the percentage is larger in the watchtower company than in the catholic church.

i would think that would catch someones attention in the media and make a good story.. what really pisses me off is the watchtower cult is gloating about all of the negative press the catholics are receiving concerning pedophiles not even knowing that the jdubs have thousands of sexual abuse cases that have been covered over.

How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. bible
a circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.

many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.

well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

Here is what silly looks like
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
for shits and grins, i looked at an online sunday meeting a few days ago on youtube.

i was in disbelieve on just how silly everything looks with the watchtower reader reading from his little iphone and the watchtower conductor holding up his iphone to ask the questions.

then the conductor asked the reader to read a bible verse and of course, he reads from his little phone.

How can we leave Jehovah?
by Sour Grapes in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the jdubs talk about their loved ones or friends leaving jehovah.

how can one leave some one who they never saw, some one who is invisible or some one who never talked to them.. what they mean is they no longer obey the borg so the borg is the same as jehovah.. long live the 8 self licking ice cream popes!!

How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers
by Sour Grapes in
1. jw
2. experiences
i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..
