LOL....I had to give a "local needs" talk to mention NOT doing this back in the early 2000's.....mindless people man........ kinda like Jesus directing the GB to 'warm' to the idea of using the Internet.
You just got be dumb as a f***king brick
so, i guess an upcoming wt has some new light on clapping!
evidently, jesus has misinformed the gb/wtbts since the late 90's.
clapping was disrespectful, because jesus felt that those who were df'd should not be given a pat on the back.

Can't you just picture the New Testament Jesus Christ giving that talk?
No......didn't think so.
JW's should be embarrassed of what they are.
a segment from the royal commission in australia where gb member geoffrey jackson is grilled by a, very fantastic, lawyer.
this should be watched by all people contemplating getting baptized as jw's.
once you're in, you cant leave and keep your family.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpir8vjsdre.
Isn't it something to watch a young man.....question one of "Christ's brothers" ..... a man that claims he will judge the attorney's right to everlasting life himself...... and just BLOW him away with common sense and logic????
Jehovah's Witnesses are embarrassing. Its just absolutely embarrassing to watch these morons........... they're so stupid, so dumb and so pathetic.
Jehovah's Witnesses should be embarrassed.

a disgraced jehovah's witness elder has been jailed for eight years for sexually abusing a girl.. martyn barron (55) pleaded guilty to four counts of sexually assaulting a child under 13, more than 10 years ago.. the victim, now an adult, said the abuse had devastated her life.. leicester crown court was told barron, of walton street,belgrave, leicester, sought to blame the child for his wrongdoing in a pre-sentence report.. .

But wait....wasn't he appointed by Holy Spirit????
to briefly state this: we were hardcore jws, my siblings, my wife and her two sisters.
we have 18 nieces and nephews among us from late 20's to 55. only one is a card-carrying, practicing jw and he's had his problems.. what's hilarious, is that most of the 18 in the next generation would still identify themselves as jws to the rest of the family, but all are leading double lives extraordinaire, doing exactly what they want to do.
most would be honest with me and have been.
I have several friends in their 40's and 50's doing the same thing.
The problem is that I have lost respect (not love) for them...... I don't understand being fake .....why do it??
my heart goes out for all people stuck in all high control groups, either with insight into the falsehood of their beliefs or none.. to remain a member whilst knowing it false however, must be soul destroying.. my question is, would you carry on living the lie if you discovered that we get one life, one go at existing.
it's short, it's fragile and nobody in 100 years will care we even existed..... .......if you came to that realisation would you quit?.
.......if you had children, would you leave in order to set them an example in strength and appreciation of the short time we enjoy?.
I know several people that are doing this......they are absolutely miserable. It shows on them physically....it's staggering to see the toll it takes on them as they 'live on a fence' or 'fake it'...... I couldn't do it whatsoever. No way.
hi everyone, it has been a while since i've last updated!
(refer to my previous posts for the full story) here is a quick re-cap: 2 months ago my mother found out that i am living with my boyfriend, she told me i was discovered by an "anonymous" tipper who turned me in for "living in sin".. first of all, that is nearly impossible, the congregation i was in is 100's of miles away from where i currently live.. no one would have ever known i was living with my boyfriend unless i told them, which i never did, i cut off all communication with that congregation in part of my attempted fade which was blown into pieces and discovered.. anyways, my mom tells me if i don't go to the elders and confess like a good little sheep, then she is obligated to tell them.. ( don't see why, i don't even live under her roof ) well i never went to them because why should i?
so they met with my mother and she told them i live with my boyfriend... let me remind you, this was two months ago.. i was told i was going to be df'd and that was that.
PLEASE NOTE:
You don't have to put up with ANY of this. There are laws in most states that can be invoked....in your case, harassment and stalking.
Congregation elders are mental midgets. The Watchtower Society sent out several letters to Body of Elders admitting they will distance themselves from elders if they're hit with a lawsuit.
Go to a lawyer and get them to write a letter stating they will sue the local congregation, as well as the Society if you are contacted ONE more time. (or make a fake one yourself with a fake letterhead)
They will crap their pants and disappear.
I never understand why so many people put up with elders. They are NOBODY! Absolute zeros.
You could also do what I did .....and I was a former long time elder.......if they knock on my door, I come to the door with a gun. You'd be amazed how quickly they leave.
was talking to a good buddy of mine a couple days ago (we pioneered and were in bethel together and have both left the cult a few years ago), about the current cart and d. and the consensus was that it is now a complete joke.
was watching a couple witnesses last week sit at a table with their literature display.
no approaching people for conversation, no initiating stimulating dialogue with passerbys, as was encouraged when i "pioneered" back in the day.
You think the average JW knew nothing before......this cart 'witnessing' is pure gold for 99% of them. They don't have to think, know anything or answer or question. They're mannequins.
I honestly feel nothing but embarrassment for them.
it seems that when i ask witnesses questions about 1914, they really don't understand the relevance to their message today.
i am told that they preach about the coming kingdom and that they don't preach a message of 1914. if a person doesn't understand 1914 then i can clearly see how showing them the inaccuracies of the doctrine wouldn't matter.
can we compile a list of ties 1914 has to their current beliefs?.
The VAST majority of JW's can't tell you a damn thing about what they believe or would die for. Seriously, you're wasting your time to discuss 1914 ......those still in have NO clue what it was about. They just keep showing up on Sunday's because everyone else does.......
...is an epic triumph is emotional manipulation.
bringing together all of the stories they told thus far and placing them int he "new world" complete with the little boy who was killed in a car accident coming back from the dead.. i have a good friend who is stuck in with family and plays the role.
he said everyone was crying, and the people next to him rated the videos by how many tissues they needed to dry their eyes.
To see this video is to understand the levels of evil this organization will go to. There will be many that are 'touched' by this video. "simple" people who just want health or a to see a loved one again.
It's all a fantasy. It might as well be a Disney movie.
It is this type of messaging/imagery that should convince anyone on the fence how evil this organization is. It is not a passive decision to remain a JW.... they are teaching many damaged people an outright fantasy.
