US Zone visit: disappointing, depressing, discouraging
by sir82 ini will have plenty of "snark" to post later on, but please indulge me while i get this out of my system..... suppose you are the leaders...yes, the leaders...there are only 7 of you...for the one true religion in all the universe.. jehovah the god of the whole universe speaks to you, you alone, out of 7 billion+ people on teh planet.. you have an opportunity, thanks to the advancements in technology, to speak to 750,000 of your followers "live", and another 750,000 or so within 24 hours.. 1.5 million people!
hanging on your every word!.
this is the first time in history you can simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, address so many of your adherents.. what message are you going to present for this special occasion?.

It's true - Religion rots your brain!
by Coded Logic inthe more religious a person is, the more likely they are to suffer from hippocampal atrophy.
i guess a lifetime of cognitive dissonance can really take its toll.. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3adoi%2f10.1371%2fjournal.pone.0017006#pone-0017006-t002.
(early symptoms of hippocampal atrophy can include difficulty recalling the recent past and disorientation.

Got ratted out for celebrating Halloween...
by cognac inone of two things will happen.
i'll get disfellowshipped and never have to worry about being "told on" again for living a normal life, or; they won't do anything.. either way, it's freeing and i feel relieved... it will be sad if i get disfellowshipped but i've come to terms and made peace with it as much as can be expected.
it's a huge weight to have off.. was told on a week ago and haven't heard anything.

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.

JW attitudes to women
by Frazzled UBM ini 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.

is the big show on 1914 at Service Meeting evidence of factions in the GB?
by Wasanelder Once insometimes 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

Catholic (not JW apostate) exposes bizarre 1914 doctrine CONTRADICTION
by yadda yadda 2 ina 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:.

How do Jehovah's Witnesses get around this one?
by runForever ini 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.
