  My Parents have gone FULL CULT MODE! Having a job is SATANIC!

  by BU2B in

  to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.

  around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.

  he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.

  Eventually they will run out of things to sell and reality will set in. They probably had a recent circuit overseer visit and he told them to simplify their life and it would go well for them. These clowns are good at messing with peoples lives because a lot of them have never had a real job or had real bills to pay.

  A similar thing happened to my parents when they were in their 50's. They had a growing business happening and then some of the elders and the CO started giving them advice. They sold out some of their equity and pioneered and went on quick builds till they were too old.

  The sad thing is that my dad is still working at 75 and trying to buy back what he sold when he was 50 and he and my mother are very frustrated at getting old in this system.

  To all of you hoseheads south of the 49th. It is winter in the great white north and all the broadband cables have frozen up. Nothing can be streamed into the local kingdom hall until the permafrost thaws out next July. Besides, we're all too busy building our winter homes aka igloos.

  Night and Day from GB to Writing committee? Someone explain?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  im sure by now most of you are familiar with anthony morris talk from this weekend.

  im even seeing memes posted all over instagram from jw mocking it.. here is my question, why are the things written so different from how the gb members, like anthony morris are?

  i know the gb dont actually write the stuff but i was under the impression that they come up with the spiritual light pass if off to the writing committee and they put it in the publications.

  It is just like in Jesus' day. There was the written word and there was the oral tradition. Same thing today. The oral tradition( no beards, 10 hours per month required, no coloured socks bla bla bla) carries an equal value to the written word but is easier to change if needed. Same shit, different pile. Religious leaders have been treating the average joe like garbage for thousands of years. Nothing really changes over time.

  Does having priveleges in the congregation mean you will have a successful marriage?

  by hoser in

  after reading about tight pant tony's rant about sisters only marrying ministerial servants lest their marriage will be a failure what anecdotal evidence do you have to support this.

  the divorces that i am familiar with in the congregation show me that having priveledges in the congregation do not improve the odds of a better marriage.

  i would say about 60% of the divorces had at least one spouse who was a pioneer, elder or ministerial servant.

  Apparently, I'm a "unique case" and they are going to talk to the other elders and CO. They want to meet with me and might be sending me a letter requesting a meeting but said that I should not be worried about getting disfellowshipped.

  And pigs can fly. Anytime you meet with elders you should be worried about getting disfellowshipped.

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.

  "Life is so hard!...tribulation and problems abound!" Persecution complex of witnesses.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the meeting this week is mind-blowing in the way it fuels the crippling "persecution complex" of witnesses!.

  paragraph 1 set the theme with this gem:.

  does it shock you that you can expect to face many tribulations before you gain the prize of everlasting life?

  Paragraph 13 and 14 are the worst. Blaming satan for being discouraged when the real culprit is the toxic culture of the Jehovah's Witness religion.

  About 10 or 15 years ago members of the governing body were no longer officers of the watchtower corporations. This was done in anticipation of a day like this so they could weasel their way out of any legal problems.

  Looking from the outside in, it is so easy to see the scam. When I was a believer I would have wholeheartedly subscribed to the idea and cut them a check.
