You know, I was just thinking about this this morning. Among the many differences in the way we think when we are in the organization and the way the whink when we are out of the organization is that in the organization there are always clear answers to everything...and if there's not there will be soon. And it is all so very circular in logic. And they feel safe with that, because it's true no matter what. It can be scary outside because there are no definite answers about most things. And yet, it gives me the feeling that I can add something that has not yet been there. So while it can be frightening and inteimidating, with it comes the incredible realization for great potential. Sad to think of how inhibitive they are of individuality and creativity isn't it?

Welcome...
by transhuman68 infor ex-witnesses coming to this forum one of the strangest revelations must be that there are no answers, unlike the usual watchtower study.. the end of the certainty they had enjoyed as an faithful dub must be unsettling.
it is inevitable, as we come from all corners of the earth, and we.
have each come to our own conclusion as to what truth is.

Mrs. Jones,
We here at the Bullshit Department don't much appreciate you brining your meter in. Please leave that, your cell phone, camera, and any other recording devices at the door where you can pick it up after the tour. Thank you.

Lou bou to, the official nature of Cthulhu's work for the Watchtower is not to be questioned, unless of course you want to face Cthulhu face to face, but I warn you, none live a sane existence afterward.

The Governing Body takes very seriously its commission to receive and distribute from Jehovah's bounteous feast of well-oiled dishes. At times, statements originating from the Governing Body have been taken out of context, such as those satarized by the apostate known as Minimus on this website. Bullshit is nowhere on the agenda of the Governing Body, a decision reached by a 2/3 majority of those on said body. The only thing they are concerned with is living as their leader Jesus Christ taught them and preparing the masses for Jehovah's great and fear inspiring day.

The 144,000 Belief - What Will Happen To It?
by mentallyfree31 inwhat do you think will happen to the 144,000 belief as the years progress?
will the wts convert that to a "figurative" number and leave it open-ended?
or will they come up with another date and insist that anybody after that date should not partake?.

Wouldn't it be amusing if the GB or some high ranking member was screening this website and actually took some inspiration from a post like this?

Seeking Clarification About Ray
by Cthulhu ini do not wish to belabor the subject, but i am a smidge confussed.
i understand that his chances do not look good and everyone seems in agreement as to his condition but...has ray actually died?
i ask because the last i heard was that support was soon to be removed, but wikipedia lists his date of death as today.

I ask because the last I heard was that support was soon to be removed, but Wikipedia lists his date of death as today. Has this already happened? Granted, the website says that Cynthia agreed to take him off of life support, but has this or the...anticipated result actually occured or did they jump the gun?
