  Disturbing/Puzzling Skit at JW Function Last Night Plus Odd Choice of Music

  by Cadellin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i attended a fairly large jw gathering last night with my active, elder husband.

  it was a good-by party for a former special pioneer couple who have been demoted to reg pios and have now moved to a larger city to find work.

  anyway, there was music and skits.

  JWs aren't logical thinkers. They get an idea in their head and simply run with it without working it through to its logical conclusion.

  The doctrine is what happens when you get caught lying, but instead of fessing up and admitting you lied, you stack another lie on top of it.

  Commercial activism.

  by Ben131895 in

  1. jw

  in his last couple of vlogs, john cedars is wearing a t-shirt saying shunned.

  some people liked it and asked him if they could purchase one.. in his last vlog (#111) he is advertising it and mentioned the link www.apostee.com, based in the us.

  comments attached to vlog # 110 mentioned the fact that this company will close in april and that the business will be continued by cedars itself, who has also a stock of anti-witness items.. besides that, he was not the owner of jwsurvey.org, but since january 16, 2016 he is.. it looks (as mentioned before by simon in an earlier thread), this guy is making a living from his activism, a paid career.. one should seriously question his true motives, demonstrated in his activism.

  CLAM - 24th March 2016 (Video Vignette)

  by Nicholaus Kopernicus in

  video - "use insight when comforting others"this was a wt contrived video of a sister who was widowed a year ago, and turns to members of the boe after a meeting in the kingdom hall in a distraught emotional state accompanied by suicidal thoughts.

  two members of the boe saw her in her own home later that day.she conveyed that she wanted her life back - that her heart had been ripped out.

  the elder acknowledges that "you and dan had a wonderful relationship".

  Really enjoy your writing, Nicholaus. Excellent points all around.

  My own thoughts on the ignorance of the Org regarding suicidal people. They just don't get it.

  The governing body=the faithful and discreet slave. No longer is it the 144k collectively. Not that they gave a shit what the rest of them ever said before, but it definitely is more a of a "we are the boss" message.

  We all sin? Really?

  Who determines what is sin? You? Your holy book? Your invisible friend in the sky?

  interesting article and even more interesting comments.

  author was molested by a jw elder, told her mom (and others) about it, was not believed, her behavior spiraled out of control (acting out), was placed in foster care by her mother that refused to believe an "upstanding member of the congregation" could do something so despicable.

  article here (i hope this works/i'm such a luddite): http://news.yahoo.com/happened-mom-dumped-foster-care-160000998.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=ma .

  Didn't go to memorial this year

  by silent in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i had business to attend to out of town today and i had thought if we made it back home in time, we'd go to the memorial.

  as it turned out, we didn't get home in time and we missed it, but we had a real good talk with each other on the way home.

  we are largely successful faders and at the very least, i like to try and make the memorial.

  Which beliefs are you clinging to that you feel the witnesses have some sort of monopoly on? There are quite a few religions out there, a buffet so to speak. You probably can find one that fits your system with a few hours of online research.

  Or why not just live your religion privately? Give of yourself where you can and to causes you support. You don't need some heirarchy to tell you do this or do that. Its a pretty damn good feeling to just do good things on your own because YOU want to do it.

  Circuit visit elders meeting

  by Saltheart Foamfollower in

  first some context to this post.

  historically the elders meeting with the circuit overseer has had the following format : outline for meeting including ministerial servants then, after they have been dismissed, discussion of local issues.

  the last visit there was an additional outline for the elders only, the notorious "gender blurring" discussion.. you might wonder what is being discussed this time round, so here you are:.

  Which delusion will you choose?

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it occurred to me while at today's wt study that over 100 people were wasting an hour of their life studiously examining the differences between two delusions, paradise earth and the heavenly hope.

  everyone made it sound so serious when in reality it means nothing at all.

  either choice is wrong and foolish nonsense.. it was mentioned that mark sanderson found his heavenly calling at very young age.

  I drove by a KH today by chance. Parking lot was full at 2PM and it was an absolutely beautiful day outside. I wondered what sort of myths they were considering inside today. Sad.
