  I just think it'd be good to send this one back to the top, in case somebody missed it. It goes through my head from time to time...

  i love it!

  out of nowhere, the mrs. tells me that since she has a part tonight and there's nobody to watch the kids, she wants me to come with her to the meeting to watch them while she's on the platform.

  i'm actually still supposed to be there, but i went home (5 minutes down the road) for a 'bathroom break'.

  It would seem like a valid question, but it does assume that I just randomly got up and left the kids there. After the Mrs. did her part, she came back to the seat and took charge of the kids. I guess that was kind of implied in my original post rather than stated explicitly. So, I guess the fault is mine, in a way. I didn't really have much time to make the post at the time, so I probably omitted expounding on that important detail. My mistake.

  I've been watching reruns of Alias on Netflix.

  I think I have a much better understanding of you than I had before.

  Coming from you, that means everything, bro. No matter how weird it got towards the end, I got into 'Alias' by DVD and spent many a Sunday on 'Alias' marathons. Fell head over heels for Jennifer Garner. I'm starting to think that my liking the movie 'Daredevil' is a bit biased as a result...

  I bail out all the time whenever I reluctantly accompany my wife to any one of those waste fests as they are quick to pull the hair trigger and overload my BS detector with their use of faulty logic, leading questions and answers, blatant propaganda, and biblical hopscotch.

  But yeah, that bizarre interpretation of Matt. 15:1-8 was really like no other unbelievably fictitious statement I can recall hearing in a long while--and I've been reading the Study Edition every month. I couldn't really put my mind on anything else since I was holding the baby for much of the time, so I was hit full-on with steaming piles of B.S.

  New "Jehovah's Friend" video - Lesson 3: Pray Anytime

  here it is folks.... http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/pray-anytime/.

  One thing I noticed is, why are they having the family hold hands there, but they're not allowed to at meetings when prayers are said? Crazy.

  Secondly, she breaks out the 'Learn From the Great Teacher' book, but no sign of a Bible anywhere. Guess we see what's important, then...

  Third, note the sad expression on her face as she is returning home from school. 'Pressures from Satan's system' abound. Maybe that kid with the earring in his ear was staring at her from across the lunch table (see 'Young People Ask' video): "You're different from the other girls."

  Otherwise, not really on the same level as Sparlock and Caleb. Still some emotional/behavior control--you should be sad after a day at school with non-JWs, and you have to make a spectacle of yourself by praying at lunchtime with eyes closed and all that. More timely guidance from the masterGod slave class.

  New article and video on TTATT

  by RayPublisher in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  well i spent a few weeks putting this one together it took sooooo much longer than i thought it would, but as you know, a few of us many of us on jwnet spend way too much time fighting the "watchtower power" hehe.

  here's a couple paragraphs:.

  so i had been thinking about how hard it can be to tell the difference between a high quality product, the "genuine article", and a knockoff or an inferior product recently.

  Nice! I like the article there. I think one of the biggest problems for JWs--particularly those who are 'born-in's--is that they have no other religious experiences to compare with the JWs. So they only believe what the Society tells them about other religions. The very first thing that broke the ice for me, years before I started seriously challenging my beliefs, was actual exposure to other religions while I was in college, and comparing it to what was written in Watchtower articles. It became clear to me that the Society just wasn't being honest about the other groups. I was surprised to see even Catholics coming up to me to preach to me about Jesus! And the Society seems to have put Catholics pretty much in the closest possible position with Satan that a religion can have. I mean, I think even Satan worshippers aren't hated on as much as Catholics in WT literature!

  Anyway, perhaps when I get some actual money together I'll order one of these bracelets for myself.

  I got sick to my stomach just reading the title of this thread!

  I would've made issue with it, but it was easier to just get it the frak over with. "No one wants a war...We'll just shake hands, and that'll be it."--Joker, 'Batman', 1989.

  But it is kind of sad that Shirley had to ask who was watching the kids; it does suggest that someone thought I was irresponsible enough to just leave the kids utterly unsupervised and go home, leaving them in a room with more than 100 strangers. I know I'm a doormat, but that implication is actually worse...geez... Anyway, it's fine. Not the end of the world. Yet.

  Her part is done, so the terms of the deal were concluded.

  My guess is sd-7's wife.

I'm actually still supposed to be there, but I went home (5 minutes down the road) for a 'bathroom break'. Wonder how long it'll take her to figure out I'm not actually there anymore? Her part is done, so the terms of the deal were concluded. Terrible. I should've told her I was leavin'. Don't worry, it's arctic out there, I'll be back to pick 'em up once this post is done.

  Great meeting, too! Jeremiah stuff--amazing how Jeremiah somehow relates to how the faithful slave tells us what to wear, watch, and what music to play at our weddings! Ha!

  The Bible Highlights gave me a moment of hope--all about Jesus telling the Pharisees that they overstep God's commands with the 'traditions of men'? Well, in a stunning--STUNNING--turn of events, this was somehow connected by the speaker to...wait for it...those who murmured and left the organization when the doctrines were changed all those times (the speaker couldn't even bother to give a specific example, but the way he said it made it seem like he knew there was so many!). Somehow, a 'spirit of tradition' came over those people. You know, those traditional bastards, they just got sick of us changing the rules so much, and they left. Shame on them for having a problem with us routinely trading one tradition of men for another!

  Unfortunately, the poor jokers there didn't have working heat on their side of the KH, so the congregation meeting on the other side invited everyone over for the second half of the meeting. How brotherly of them! I wonder if this couldn't have been worked out maybe a little more in advance so we didn't have to freeze our a--es off for an entire hour? Oh, right. Let's not murmur about the imperfections of men. Loyal Christians will endure 20-degree weather inside their meetings without complaint.

  Well, I guess I should probably head back before they notice I'm really gone. "Oh, I didn't want to disrupt after my bathroom break, so I just went to bring the car around, figured the meeting was over anyway...."

  Now, let's just hope the extreme cold doesn't cause my battery to die on me before I can get back there! Ha ha! Wouldn't that be a classic way to top off this crappy night! I was really looking forward to a little 'Fellowship of the Ring', too...ah, well....

  But it was actually not too bad this time. I didn't feel nearly as scared as I usually do. I almost feel like I could totally reassimilate and not notice anything had ever happened. Being a doormat does that to you. Well, seriously, I gotta go. Phone will be vibrating any second.

  Annoying 2/15 WT - Don't Be Stumbled- your Mind Just Misunderstands !

  by flipper in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  another wt article which causes jw's to doubt their own perceptions of reality.

  ) in this particular article titled " for those loving jehovah, " there is no stumbling block " - the wt society stoops to new, or rather re-hashed lows to insinuate that most if not all jw's really misunderstand causes of stumbling as it's just their minds that are imperfect, messed up, or gone entirely anyway.

  the first abhorrent bit of information here describes a witness man who " fought " with feelings of being homosexual and of course the elders thought they had the perfect antidote to keep him from his alleged " abnormal " desires.

  " I always felt awkward. It seemed that I didn't fit in anywhere. "

  <--That's what he said!

  Right. Of course nobody ever does anything wrong--your eyes are just deceiving you, is all...
