OMG!! the Stereotyping!!

did anyone notice the blatant stereotyping in the ' remember the wife of lot' video?.

the only thing missing with the oriental family was a pony tailed servant named 'hopsing' and that they all go off to work at the family laundry.. the mexican family ate tacos, refried beans, and hotsauce ('not there is anything wrong with hotsauce'....,sienfeld) at every meal, and of course the dad was a landscaper.

wtf!?!?

Chinese real estate investors and Mexican construction workers. Stereotypical? Maybe a bit

The most dangerous congregations are the isolated ones that only have 1 or 2 elders

by Chook in

the elders only have to fake it for cos visit, then the poor sheep get shorn for anther 6 months and just when publisher billy thinks the co will save their souls from these tyrants elders a new co comes onto the seen, and of course he is trained only to listen to the elders.

so the vicious cycle of religious rape continues until billy and his mates burnout..

I have to also agree. Small congregations are the shits. As a brother you are stuck doing all kinds of crap. Accounts, giving talks on school each week, running the sound board and doing service arrangements when elders are gone almost every weekend.

It is much easier to hide out and fade in a big hall.

I've Just Noticed Something About The "Remember The Wife Of Lot" Video

by pale.emperor in

maybe you guys got on to this right away, but i've just noticed something about the remember the wife of lot video.. we all know the scene where the judgmental jw dad gives that disapproving look to the girl who has lesbian parents:.

this look actually appears again throughout the video - but on other jws.

in the scene where the new brother is out in service with the former co. look at the new brothers reaction to when a "worldly" person knows the former co from work:.

They manipulate facts to prove their point.

The real estate sister that worked in the so hot real estate market so that they mortgaged their condo to buy something better, but couldn't rent out the condo because the rental market was soft?

Happy are those concious of their spiritual need?

by NikL in

that was the title of the public talk given by the co today.

it's a statement i've heard over the years many many times.it's based on the nwt translation of matthew 5:3i always use a different version of the bible when i follow the scriptures because it lets me get a better view of the scripture in question.well, imagine my surprise when i read the scripture in the nrsv bible to realise it says something completely different.the nwt renders it...3 “happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them.. however the nrsv says...3 “blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.. i was quite surprised at the completely different meaning so i looked at other translations and they pretty much all say the same thing.

the only one who says anything like spiritual need is the nwt.

hoser

Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need. That means if you're not happy it's your own fault. Blame the victim.

Some prayers really annoy me

by stillin in

i realize that prayer is a really personal thing, but representing a group in prayer has become so full of cliche's that i just want to vomit sometimes.

co week almost every prayer has the phrase "special week of activity" in it.. then there's "please look after the sick and afflicted.".

not so much anymore, "please bless this food and the hands that prepared it.".

Outlaw you forgot to thank them for the fine threads on the bolts and nuts.

Im not pretending to believe anything. I know it's all a lie. Bullshit as we call it in these parts. I stay in good standing for selfish reasons and along the way I have helped many of my loved ones wake up which would not have happened if I were an outsider.

Those people who would act like they were reciting their own version of the Gettysburg Address stressed me out.
