LMsA A t-shirt with a Jack Daniel’s logo with a red X through it. Another with the visuals of a needle and a bottle of pills.
Now he’s extolling the euphoria behind drug use to already vulnerable people who are conditioned to believe anything they hear.Great analogy.
It's called "Euphoric Recall" and it's a real thing. Exjws definitely get it in spades with his s-l-o-w, neverending, dragged out rebuttals of JW broadcast.
did anyone else find the teen section on the meeting tonight massively cringeworthy?
i saw two kids who will be laughing stocks for life after their world wide exposure.
complete exploitation in my opinion, unforgivable..
It's all phooey.
My boys are 18 (not JW oc). I think they have maybe two friends who are in relationships with school sweethearts, but otherwise one is not interested and too busy swotting for exams prior to uni (he's had provisional offers from several Russell group unis to do maths and IT). The other is joining the army after 6th form exams & would like a girlfriend. He met one girl, had a few dates but she lived too far away to go "steady" which is what he wants. The other potential he liked moved back to china after a year at college here.
They and their friends are far from 'sex mad' and very sensible all around. In my opinion far more so than my generation!!!

"" a twisted jehovah's witness bludgeoned a woman he rowed with over incomplete building works to death with a hammer, then merrily whistled as he packed up his tools and went to lead a service at the church where they met.
Was Ms Gordon a sister in the cong.?
I wonder whether he was DFed or jumped at the chance to use the "new light" and just claim, "I'm repentant."
Yes she was and this happened way before the noo lite. Probably over a year ago, given the court case happened a month or so back and murder cases take a long time to come to trial.
Edit: Sorry I realise you meant after the conviction! Boy they must be mighty desperate for elders if they have!

These men leading the witnesses at this point (who aren't very elderly) just HAVE to be complete narcissistic tools.😡😡😡
They *know* the score yet crave the power. You can just imagine the jumped up little toe rag thought "how dare this lowly female publisher question my abilities!!!

found guilty of $1.2 million scam targeting seniors.
ex-insurance agent brett e. lovett convicted of fraud, elder abuse, grand theft, and money laundering".
Not the first time I have seen this. A lot of con artists have operated in Congregations targeting seniors over the years. Watchtower's prohibition against "suing your brother" and "handling matters quietly through the elders" provides fertile ground for criminals
Watchtower itself is the biggest criminal of all, targeting seniors and conning them out of life savings, property and investments!!!
Watchtower hid behind these teachings to protect themselves from fraudulent "borrowing programs" from members...that they then refused to repay... guaranteeing to disfellowship if a JW victim brought charges against Watchtower. This happened to my Mother-in-law.
Heard of this multiple times. Sickening.
completely unrelated to the wts.. i have a co worker who i use to hang out with his son in high school.
he doesn’t remember me.
that was 30 years ago.
Imho you should say something. It's been my experience that people love to have the opportunity to talk with people who knew and remember their loved one. This is especially true if it's been a long time since they passed. I mean your coworker will probably have friends/associates /colleagues/neighbours etc who came in to his life after his son passed and therefore he can't even reminisce with them about his son. You have a bond with him he won't find with just anyone.
Yes, he may get upset....that's natural. But I'm sure having someone that shares precious memories of his son with him will mean the world. Just let him 'take the lead' (lol) in when and how much he'd like to open up to you.
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!
Here's a other you'd never have heard until last week:
[New Publisher struggling with pushchair...]
Elder: hello let me give you a hand. My name's Elder Maradonna and my wife's the sister over there sitting at the front of the Hall...in the blue 👖👖👖trousers!

repeats an anecdote about how his dad tried to school him on sexual behaviour during field service.
“Lloyd, at school in the toilet boys will touch themselves and will make it grow huge. You should not do this”
Lloyd then relates how he misinterpreted it and thought his penis would explode to an abnormal size, complete with gestures and making a “whoosh” sound.
Figures. So Lloyd your piss poor jokes aren't even your jokes. This idea has been straight up pilfered from a Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders skit. I kid you not.
