WTS Throws Hail Mary Pass with Major Paradigm Shift

by Socrateswannabe in

let me begin by stating that i have no insider information, this is merely my observation.

i believe that some time ago in watchtower land, somebody at hq posed these questions (probably an outside consultant because i don't think the gb is this hip): .

what would happen if we cut in half the average age of the responsible brothers in the organization?

Over the years I've heard speculation that maybe they've consulted outside the religion for any number of things.

After watching this clown show evolve into ever greater stupidity over the last decade, I have no reason to believe that anyone other than the insulated fools at the top continue to call the shots. They are a random group of seven high school graduates who suddenly have massive power in their golden years - with zero talent to back it up. Its a sinking ship, slowly sinking I'll admit, but sinking nevertheless.

What was your ''the last straw that broke the camels back'' moment

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

there is a limit to how much straw (long yellow grass) a camel can carry on its back.

if you keep putting more straw on top, it will finally break the camel's back.

when you are at the last straw you are finally angry and will not take any more.. my moment (to stop attending all watchtower meetings) was after the harsh treatment from the elders and fellow congregation members of my second cousin who was disfellowhipped as a teenager.

That pic is so absurd! Hilarious how the chairs continue to get shittier as you go down the food chain!

Also absurd when the vast size of the universe is considered. Here these tools are, amid a universe so vast no human can even comprehend its size, sitting at the top of the chain - Jesus' right hand men, so to speak!

by All for show in

jw
friends

looking back we had been fading without even realizing it.

life happened...and we weren't regular.

then we woke up and have actively been fading for 9 months.

If he wants to show them up have him ask the elders why the sisters have not brought the accusation to him, you know, how you are supposed to to it according to Matthew. Game over.

Noah's ark

by dothemath in

for those that believe in the flood story as genesis says, then they also are forced to accept a huge amount of evolution, way faster than any evolutionist would propose.. from a basic selection of "kinds", to the several millions of land species there are now, and in only about 4000 years.. not to mention the many types of birds that made it to remote islands, and then somehow lost their ability to fly... not even possessing wings( ex- dodo bird, moa).

scientists agree this was a process that took eons of time.. i was thinking of this because we just had a public talk on noah.

i sure couldn't make a fool of myself on that subject, going on how "factual" it all is..

That BBQ point DD made above had escaped me for the longest time. Pretty damn funny when you think about it!

Feigning warmth and feeling

by stillin in

this is a counsel point in the tms guidebook.

the guy who did the reading last night was supposed to be working on that while he read the account about how jehovah fought the unfaithful isrealites for judah.

jehovah killed 500,000 people that day.

LostGeneration

Just another reason for putting a slug in the head of the TMS.

Hard to generate much warmth and feeling when you are reading from the OT.

by Brokeback Watchtower in

i was just reading this news clip about a mayor from my home town of waterbury, ct how was given a 37 year sentence for raping to minor girls.

the fed were watching him " trying to determine whether giordano was taking bribes from a mafia building contractor, fbi agents learned he was systematically raping the 9- and 11-year old daughter and niece of a prostitute in his office in the city hall.".

Cracked under pressure

by breezy in

a big problem i have always had when talking about anything related to jw teachings, is that i get aggravated and frustrated when logical black and white concepts/scriptures are not seen/interpreted in a logical way.

it really frustrates me having to hear '' oh no this does not apply here '' in every scripture that i bring to my parents attention.

starting from when i was 16 to about 20, my frustrations would lead to these anger fits.

LostGeneration

Don't be so hard on yourself, it's all ok from what you described. Conversing with a cultist is like repeatedly smashing your head into a brick wall. I don't do it anymore, I admire those that have the tolerance to do so.

Kenneth Flodin: ‘This Generation Will ... Not Pass Away’ (Matt. 24:34)

WTF was that schpeel about FWF not knowing when he was baptized? (starts about 7:00 in) Here is the supposed brainiac of the WTS and he doesn't even remember if he was bapped in November of 1913 or April 1914? Then they say he was in his 70s when they asked him so he just "accepted" that it was in 1914??

Not that it really means a shit in the real world, but here these dipshits are tying their entire theology onto this clown and don't even know when "this generation" started??

Didn't get the Watchtower today at all

by Pioneerbot in

i know it's dumb to think it would make sense.

i've been telling myself to lay low because everytime i ask a question now my husband says i have a negative attitude and i sound like an apostate.

hmmm wonder why.

LostGeneration

Amen!

Youre a funny one pioneerbot! Good luck with everything!
