Scriptures That Bothered You as a JW Kid.

by Sea Breeze in

my big one was: .

rev.

20: 5 "but the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished.

Diogenesister

The stuff about the lady being tested for adultery by having some mud put on her thigh - if it withered she was guilty.

.....hope she worked on her cellulite🤷‍♀️

Also the scripture about no angel ever calling himself God's son.

It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

think he was angry because she wouldn’t agree to his open marriage proposal. I don’t think he was interested in sex with Dijana. I think he only wanted her to maintain the married man facade, to look after his children and to be his housekeeper and personal chef. 🤷‍♀️

That video is what did it for me with

Lloyd. I've worked with some extremely manipulative men with narcissistic personality disorder, who will excuse ditching devoted spouses because they "enable" their bad behaviour! In other words the "my wife is too nice" defense! I saw a great deal of similarities in his behaviour. He was so calculated in that video and you could see he was beside himself with anger at not getting his way. Yet whilst he was claiming to have mental health issues at the same time he was being heartlessly dismissive of someone who was genuinely in Crises and even considering suicide. It was such an act. Clearly so.

Yes I did notice that he’s not getting the views that he used to get. I’m wondering what he was thinking when he shared damaging information with Kim. I believe that he did so intentionally in furtherance of an objective. The question is what was his objective?

Because hes a fetishistic pervert with absolutely no respect for women other than as sexual objects. He would have gotten a little thrill from telling not one but TWO women his nasty little sexy secret. I know how these men think, unfortunately.

Who really is the faithful and discreet NATHEER SALIH ??

by Calebs Airplane in

we know he was faithful to frederick franz (or frederick franz was faithful to him).. we know he was discreet because so little is known about him today.

for example, we know that he was in the writing department (even though he never professed to being a jw), that wore expensive jewelry and that he was frederick franz spokesman (or did i get that backwards?)....

also, much has been said about salihs strange hebrew-to-english bible translations (supposedly used by frederick franz when writing certain wt articles) and several illuminati and/or freemason conspiracy theories have been analyzed, yet this guy has managed to slip under the radar almost completely unnoticed by all jws and will probably be completely forgotten in just a few years.. so, who really is the faithful and discreet natheer salih?

Diogenesister

virtually no name is completely unique.

NATHEER SALIH? How many JWs do you think there are with such an unusual middle eastern name, of Indian origin? How many christians with such a name, let alone JWs, let alone Bethelite JWs? There can only be one.

Watchtower cashing in on the Hamburg tragedy?

by Listener in

thank you very much atlantis for all your hard work and for emailing a letter written by the watchtower (coming from the german branch possibly) to be read out to congregations by elders.. there is so much wrong in this letter.

maybe some of it is due to being lost in translation but since the watchtower is predominantly english, it doesn't seem likely.

the letter is as follows -.

Diogenesister

They use that expression "we are pleased to inform you" for nearly everything they "do" - which is nothing - but "announce" that things are going to take place. It is a wholly innapropriate expression to use and nothing to do with translation, since translating is the one thing watchtower does well and you can guarantee this was gone over with a fine tooth comb by the society before release.

The also dont specify what help is being offered because there isnt any - at least not from watchtower. They might coordinate elders and COs to go visit the famillies of victims. But the only material help will come from the community itself, who will donate money, food and clothing etc. Individual JWs will be a part of that for sure, but watchtower wont give a dime.

200-Year Anniversary of The Even Tide (1823) by John Aquila Brown

by Chevelle in

this is my first post.

i am a pimo who has been lurking for a while and i hope to make new friends here.. for now, i would just like to highlight that this year marks 200 years since john aquila brown wrote that crazy book(let) of speculations that charles taze russell practically copy/pasted into his "studies in the scriptures" which eventually affected all of our lives in one way or another.. cheers.

chevelle.

Diogenesister

other than that, he is a complete mystery

lol

welcome to the forum friend. Interesting info, incredible that such a crazy piece of random musing should have such a profoundly destructive influence on millions of lives even 200 years later!

Mass Shooting at Kingdom Hall in Hamburg, Germany

by EdenOne in

mass shooting at a kingdom hall in hamburg, germany this evening.

at least 6 or 7 killed, dozens injured.

single shooter on the run, police doesn't rule out more shooters.

Diogenesister

The memorial service will be attended by a member of the Governing Body, who take the lead in coordinating the Witnesses’ international activities, as well as representatives of World Headquarters and the Central Europe branch.

interesting....so they admit the Governing Body are in charge, eh? Have to remember that next time they try to weasel out of responsiblility for anything.

As for Lloyd, he was trying to take the lead in something, even when the deceased was hardly known to him. Always policing the threads, making unsolicited comments about what Oopma would or would not have liked despite not knowing him.

Imagine if Lloyd had never left the UK. Had brown nosed his way into becoming a CO.....?!! kept the whole thing on the down low for another 25 years until he gets caught .... sniffing coke off a hookers ass in Bangkok by the UK's Branch office representative and The Daily Mirror... whose come to watch Cedars give a talk on "Godly marriages"
