  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  DoC:

  Thats what most JWs dont know!!

  Is that if a JW takes a transfusion & the eldubs know about it & if the JW is ""truly repentant" by the eldubs standards,,,he/she can be spared a dfing or a judicial committee.

  This is what most JWs DO NOT know. That is unless,,, they know about the leaked contents of the evil "Sheppard the Flock of God" book or videos on youtube talking about it.

  Thank God for the internet age and God bless the leakers who dispense this information. There are ""good ones"" in the Borg.

  "I'm going to donate blood today."

  Now,, that's something you would hear most people say with very well minded intentions. All the time.

  But hearing that from a JW would be out there like Pluto. Gone.

  So what happens next...

  with what is arguably the biggest change to jw life in recent decades (the scrapping of publishers counting hours) what does this lead to?.

  in my mind these are the results;.

  1) a massive decrease in 'preaching hours'.

  A game of cat and mouse.

  And don't answer the door if you're home alone.

  Sounds like a plan if you dont feel ready to talk with the eldubs

  Anytime they come hounding you with 2 or more,,be extremely careful what you say.

  Could be a set-up.

  Farmer Jim 1;;

  Suggested a few posts back about "apathy".

  It has been commented several times over the years and YES,, agreed upon that ""apathy" is what is working against the most.

  Apathy is whats doing a number on the Borg.

  JWs And Superstitions

  by NotFormer in

  prompted by a mention in a different thread.. cracks in the sidewalk, a pinch of salt over the shoulder, black cats🐈‍⬛; do jws have such superstitious beliefs.

  are they allowed to?

  would they be counselled if the elders became aware?.

  The """everything is demonized"""

  It just affirms their "us vs them" mindset.
