I can't bring myself to say the phrase "the Truth" anymore....

by stillstuckcruz in

i used to be able to say the term "the truth" with no issue.

that was whether i was speaking to jw's or not.

now all i can say is the "witnesses"(catching myself before saying 'witlesses').

The quicker you can drop using the loaded language words and phrases the quicker you will recover from being in a cult.

USA/Australian alliance could not defeat China in World War 3...agree?

by Witness 007 in

china has protested president obama's plan for increased usa military in northern australia this week.

i was just thinking, the usa is bankrupt and china has all the cash...not to mention 1 billion people!!!

if war broke out we would be totally screwed!

Mad Sweeney

Um, the US and China are HUGE trade partners. War talk is idiotic. They need each other.

Yearbooks should be out any time now and someone usually scans and posts the report.

"Feeling sorry for yourself" about being hit by your husband is not Christian 2/15/12 WT Page 25 P 12

by yourmomma in

have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?

its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .

if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?

I have it on good authority that rather than phrase the scripture "won without a word" there was a faction of the NWT translation committee who wanted it to say "STFU Bitch!" but it didn't get the requisite 2/3 majority to pass.

The Borg is one of the most misogynistic groups on the planet. It's disgusting.

More rancid meat lovingly provided by the F&DS

by serenitynow! in

in the 2/15/2012 koolaid there is an article about finding happiness in a divided household.

i found this to be particularly offensive: .

"when facing a challenge, it is important to seek scriptural counsel from publications of the faithful and discreet slave class and from the elders.

Mad Sweeney

Cedars made the point I was going to make regarding this part:

He said that I was being brainwashed. Instead of arguing, I said that he could be right, but I also told him that I could not honestly see how.

That's the ENTIRE POINT OF BRAINWASHING! You DON'T KNOW it is happening.

I am so glad these "experiences" are made-up. I would hate to think people say such idiotic things in real life. (yeah yeah, I know they really do say such stupid things but the delusion that people aren't idiots gives me comfort, ok?)

Looks to me like we're talking about Hal FlemingS and not Hal Fleming.

Neither of them look like anything approaching Ian Fleming though.

Congregation Coordinator Disfellowshipped

my sister just told me that the congregation coordinator from my last hall was recently disfellowshipped.

his wife passed away within the past year.. all i know is that the first announcement was that he was no longer an elder.. and then a while later that he had been disfellowshipped.. he was quite prominent in the city where i live and he has been specifically named on this website at least once - if not twice.

specifically, there was at least one post by 'dogpatch' where his name was mentioned.. just thought i would share..

A widow has every right to find some pleasure, IMO. Congratulations to him!

I hope he finds the REAL truth about the Borg soon, too.

I hope he left of his own volition and isn't a perv. Please keep us posted. A conscious elder leaving is a good thing. A perv getting the boot makes the Borg look like it cares about abuse, which it doesn't.
