hello all and happy saturday morning!
(at least in my part of the world it is morning).
i am sleeping in and drinking coffee... while on this day five years ago i would have been stuffing my appendages into an ill-fitting suit to go out and stump for wt coffers!
LOL LOL
Oh man, we have the EXACT same story......I'm so GLAD to know other guys were appointed at 27, abused to death with parts and JC's.....and experienced these SAME stories......my god, it's eerie!!!
I can't stop laughing. These stories by we former elders are all the same..... like you, I went from young guy listening at these ridiculous problems.....to running the congregation ....
Love this stuff...and the goatee........I have one myself......we are such rebels.

Yup.....this proves it alright!
If only he had seen the need to warn innocent children from molesting elders that He chose with Holy Spirit.
LOL.....oh boy
i would be very interested to hear from you ladies on this one.
i know that the society keeps women in subjugation through the headship cr@p but didn't ahve any sense about hoew prehistoric the attitudes are until the other day when we were driving out of the supermarket car park and my wife spotted a woman dressed in tight shorts (it has been very hot here) and she commented 'they say that women who dress like that dserve to be raped'.
i did a wtf and overreacted 'how can you blame the victim like that - such attitudes give men a lciense to commit rape and make women feel they are to balme if they get raped which in turn means that rape doesn't get reported and it gopes on with impunity.
I wrote a little blog on the Watchtower's view of women.....let me know your thoughts:
sometimes the gb do end runs around each other, as when freddie franz didn't agree with the whole governing body concept and spoke against it at the gilead graduation.
could this video/demonstration at the service meeting tonight on why they believe in 1914 and how to explain it to others be an effort to bolster that belief because there is a challange coming against it by factions within?
i guess we can't really tell but i wouldn't put it past the boneheads running the society.
They are definitely causing some to leave. There are some people.....the minority among them..... that aren't totally stupid.
This 1914 stuff continues to get more and more embarrassing
a catholic (nb - note a jw apostate) utterly demolishes the jw's chronoprophetic 1914 creed here:.
http://catholicnick.blogspot.co.nz/2011/01/1914-house-built-on-sand-jehovahs.html.
in doing so he points out as follows a strikingly arbitrary and contradictory application of the 2520 days used to arrive at 1914 and 1260 days used to arrive at 1918:.
The vast majority of JW's would have no clue what you were even talking about.
Yes......it's that bad.
gods kingdom rules!
the convention book released yesterday....say hi to group 2 of the 1914 generation!!
a graph shows group 1 being fred franz john barr etc...with a group 2 consisting of the current young faithful slaves we "met" the "group ones.
Wow, can someone post this or direct us where to find it?
i am the vine; you are the branches.
if you remain in me and i in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.if you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.".
according to jehovah's witnesses this only applies to the annointed brothers of christ.
They don't think and 95% of them wouldn't even recognize that verse as being from the Bible.
Trust me............. they are completely clueless.
hello all, as you know, when jw tv was announced, our board went wild.
many comments, much speculation and alot of negative feedback on the quality, etc.
well, what has me concerned is that i have not heard a peep from any of my connections left in kingdom-land.
1009 absolutely nailed it.
These folks are incredibly uneducated; have no interest in knowing the truth; and frankly, really lazy.
There certainly isn't any subconcious irony in the fact that one posters wife won't misse Game of Thrones or Walking Dead (I don't either!), but completely passes on the refreshing waters of truth found on JW TV.
Very few of them have a freaking clue what being a JW even means.

This 'religion' has cost children, women and many men their LIVES
Whether it be the blood issue (children have died on tables) or Nazi Germany/Malawi....
To say this 'religion' isn't evil is incredibly ignorant
here's my prediction; the gov body giving regular talks will come across as crazy ass idiots.
this will strengthen the opposition and give something to refer too that is concrete evidence of crazy town in the jw headquarters.
there will be screen captures and clips that will be used all the time on youtube accounts to show the ttatt.
What OneEyedJoe described is 90% of JW's..........they are in it for the same reason Mormon's and other groups are in: Its a social network.
