  Pathetic manipulation at the Zone Visit to the Mexico Branch (Central America)

  by avaddohn94 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gb helper robert luccioni paid a visit to the branch that oversees mexico and central america and, you can probably imagine all the "excitement" among the witnesses who were tied in via internet.. this time they really emphasized that none of the information that was shared during such a "magnificent" event was to be posted on social media.

  the fact that they are becoming more secretive should alert anyone about the dangers posed by cult-like religions but, truth be told, that is a very difficult thing to understand from within.. still, this picture might be of help!

  in the end, luccioni's objective as representative of the governing body was very clear: money!

  they end up donating more than they need to cover the cost of the magazines that they use, but in some congregations in the US, they don't even cover the costs

  
  

  they didn't mention that the sister walked 20 miles through the jungle and crossed a crocodile infested river to be at the meeting to donate?

  CO kept mispronouncing "debt"

  by Red Piller in

  2. experiences

  so, this happened a while ago - but i never posted on it.

  during a co visit, he gave a talk relating to jesus ransom (i think) and the "debt" that was owed by sin, etc.... he kept saying "debt" and he kept pronouncing the "b".

  so it sounded like "deb-t".

  I Have a Terminal Illness

  first off, no, i don't have one.. but, was researching, and this article "when a loved one leaves jehovah" ( sep 1, 2006, p. 17 ), has a box "have you left jehovah.".

  this box includes: "you cannot know if you will even be alive tomorrow.

  (psalm 102:3; james 4:13, 14) one man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness said: this illness caught me serving jehovah full-time, with no skeletons in my closet.

  More fear mongering by an abusive entity. The watchtower claims ownership of our eternal destiny.

  WT is trying to scare off memorial partakers

  by cookiemaster in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.

  even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.

  a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.

  At some point in time all of the governing body members were partaking for the first time and may have received criticism.

  The lyrics talk about the best choice I can make. As a Jehovah's Witness I know first hand the social pressure to conform is strong. The choice was made by the organization for the girl to skip college and the man to turn down the overtime job. It wasn't their choice
