anyone else at this zone visit?.
more higher education bashing, with an embellished "experience"...... more quoting prov 4:18 out of context.. faithful and discreet slave definitions etc..... all the new "understandings" since 2012...... .
we are already in the great tribulation...?.
Maybe its the beginning of the overlapping tribulation.
Good one!
Whatta bunch of bullocks these Orwellian fear-mongers keep coming up with.
The hubris of the WT is astounding.
But their path is increasingly darkening not becoming brighter. (Prov 4:18)
And, I do hope the ARC proves to be a major tribulation for this sickening 0rganization.
watchtower released at tv.jw.org a new gb video with samuel f. herd, with the theme:.
why reduce the number of special full-time servants?.
it seems there is a reason to release this special message.. http://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodstudio/pub-jwbrd_201511_4_video.
while the vast majority of posts that the majority of posters share are perfectly fine (which we appreciate) i've noticed we have a few cases where bad language, crude innuendo and outright misogyny is creeping in.. this is not acceptable.. we're not certainly not prudish and neither are we going to enforce puritanical rules - sometimes a politically incorrect joke is funny as hell and sometimes strong language is justified.
but often times content is completely out of place and cannot be justified.. so, please don't post crude content or use expletives just to be "shocking".
it's childish and immature and won't be tolerated.. thank you to all the people this has nothing at all to do with..
All right this is it!
NO MORE #$%&@ BAD WORDS *&^$%# ALLOWED is that clear!
Can't we all just get along?
does anyone know the years of appointment to the gb of its current members please?
is the longest serving member in any way the senior?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governing_Body_of_Jehovah%27s_Witnesses#Governing_Body_members
The following people are members of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses[80] (year appointed in parentheses):
Prior to 1971, various Watch Tower Society directors were informally identified as members of the "governing body". Jehovah's Witnesses publications began capitalizing Governing Body as a proper noun in 1971; The Watchtower that year announced "The present Governing Body comprises eleven anointed witnesses of Jehovah." These eleven members are indicated in italics in the list below.[87][88] Years active are shown in parentheses. All members served until their deaths unless specified.

why are you guys so obsessed with organizations?
there has to be order in the world and organised people!
Dear Richard C B, whose member account name must stand for "Richard Cult B*tch" am I right?
JW's prefer the term 0rganization because their turd of a Company President Judge for four days Rutherford told them the term religion was a no-no.
So today the JW religion that Rutherford founded on the schizophrenic Millenerian Bible Student movement, is an 0rganization and they proudly display their JW.0rg signs because the money-making religious and litigious company wasn't successful in getting it copyrighted, otherwise the religions-minions wouldn't be able to brandish it about like the previous religion's Watchtower logo which was a no-no to use.
So that's the obsession about 0rganization, or as much of an answer I venture to give you nincompoop of a troll.
so since the last time i posted regarding my fade, you all learned that i was having some health issues.
that came along just right to quit going to meeting without raising much suspicion.
somehow everyone at the hall seemed ready to tell my wife they missed me but attended the memorial and no one bothered to take the initiative to back those words with actions.. i guess that having seen me at the memorial they at least felt bad because last night i got a call from one of the elders telling me they want to come today and visit with me.
Turn any shepherding call with more than one elder down!
Tell the kind elder you'd rather meet up with him for a coffee somewhere and then just chit chat with him and avoid any theo-cultic-talk, to any question he might ask in this regards just say "hum, I dunno, I guess I'll have to think about that" and "hum, I guess I'll have to think about that too" and "I guess that's another one to think about".
To any theocratese expressions from him squint your eyes a bit and tilt your head like he just said something in a foreign language you don't understand.
Keep changing the subject to non-theo-cultic topics and try to speak to his genuine personality not his cult-personality.
Anyway, that's how I handle these types (and their anti-types as well).
only a few days ago i was walking around the house in a mindless wander thinking if i needed to seek professional help.
then i got the courage to seek the comfort of complete strangers on the internet and found a world of support here on this website.
thank you simon and whoever else has made this website possible.
What is a CLAM? I guess I've been out awhile and this is something new?

my name is christian and my wife is katja, and we have been out of the organization for a year and a half.
we were both regular pioneers and i was a ministerial servant.
we were very much happy to be witnesses and doing our best to do more for the organization.
I looooovvveeee your YouTube channel videos. Two thumbs up!
Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing your experience.
since 1995 gorby likes to investigate the organizational behind the jehovah's witnesses, and is working now on a publication about it.
i will keep you updated about that.
now, in the memorial week, i found a new watchtower trade brand under the wings of kingdom support service, inc. and it's name is hudson valley.
