Also, the two things can be true at once.
Humans are great at compartmentalizing.

Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?
by pistolpete inare you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.
thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.
the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

PeteJWs are on the heroin of self-righteousness, they believe they alone are "God's chosen" and everyone else will be destroyed in columns of fire and ash so they alone can "inherit the earth".
Exactly this. Power is also the ultimate thrill for hierarchical apes. Alpha males at the top of the tree😂and all the little monkeys below!
I do find it incredible that people don't see the overlapping generation rubbish as a desperate attempt to patch up a sinking ship.
Although when I hear about people like Cook, who only suddenly became 'anointed' when he was called to bethel as a helper, soooo cynical. So I've no doubt for some of them it's just a career.

Do You Still Easily Believe Everything?
by minimus into be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?

Yes 😂😂😂My kids and husband are constantly dumbfounded by my credulousness (if there's such a word). My default position is to immediately believe anything I'm told, although to be fair I'm more gullable when it's in person. I'm not quite so bad when reading an article, for example. Historically I was much worse in that regard too, at least according to my husband.

Happy Dad mickbobcat,
For you to call Vienne a troll just goes to show how ignorant and uninformed you are. You haven't been around long enough to know many of the "better" posters and call them something derogatory. Do your research before putting your foot in mouth
Again, Vienne passed away some time ago. This is her young daughter who does enjoy trolling us😂

Gorby Vienne is a great researcher of WT history. Please respect her.
It's not Vienne, Gorby. So sadly she passed away from cancer.
It's her kid daughter who enjoys playing devil's advocate.
I have teen kids and I'm really sorry you lost your mum, but I think at this stage your behaviour is getting close to the kind of self hurting stuff I see from boarderline girls. You worry me kid. Have you got someone you can talk to?

Jeff T Mickbobcat isn't just talking about the copyright thing.
By the way, at the risk of being a bore 🙄,their work is shared freely (because they're a cult and they're fishing for recruits) so they loose nothing by someone else (also not benefiting) from posting their work mainly to be criticized. So yes, in this instance Vienne's daughter is being a troll.

Bethelout?
by road to nowhere inthe sunday speaker was one of those very smooth younger ones with the "look".

I’m so glad I got the hell out of there years ago as I could not sit there for any of this
Me too. Now I know how Peter and the other Hebrews felt like when Paul arrived with the let's preach to the gentiles circumcision of the heart sh*t.
Like.....I do not recognize this religion anymore!
NB Bethel- out or Bethel- lout?!

Jesus Creates a Monster

in case you're wondering i found it on a pinterest page.. proverbs 8, of course.

That video of the Komodo dragons had me wondering? Who was doing the videoing of that incident, and how did they get so close without being attacked also? Just wondering about that.
Hey Titch I don't know about that particular video, but I have seen some cameramen having to scarper pretty sharpish when filming near some Komodo dragons one time!!! Even though they appear to move slowly! (I expect, tho', because they bite then come back or track the victim until the poison takes effect, they are more focused on their victim than some skinny cameraman).

Have You Been “Gaslit”?
by minimus ingaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.
it’s a form of emotional abuse.
i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.

Yes. By my own mother. All my life.
I was a straight A student. Top of my year. Used to tippex out my name when they put up the results of our yearly Exams & SATS etc (embarrassed)🙄. Loved school & never missed a day in my life, but because she wanted to force my dad to sell the family home (she left us with dad when I was 8 and my brother was 4) she told SS I didn't go to school So that they would put us in care (Dad had had a breakdown you see but she didn't want us herself, just the house). I always got myself & my brother off to school without fail our whole childhood (Dad's a drinker you see).The only thing I ever did wrong as a kid was break a window once when I was locked out.
Yet she made me think I was evil and it's taken me until middle age and I had kids of my own to realise what she did to me.
Sorry for the rant ....good to get it off my chest, actually.

Kids who are born second have it easy. They get all the laid back love without any pressure. Parents make most of their mistakes with a firstborn.
Go firstborns!!
