this has been something that is bugging me lately-.
jehovah is all knowing.
he knows that to do away with evil, he has to do away with satan.
The same way he wants to make sure his name is held up against a bully (Satan), by allowing innocent people to be tortured, children beheaded, rampant disease, starving families, etc.
Makes sense, right?
Hey man, wouldn't you let you children be tortured to make sure the neighborhood 'knew your name?'
Stupidity doesn't cover it.

Matt 8:20....."the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head"
...but he is directing a major real estate transaction.
LOL.............stuff like this shows how JW's are choosing ignorance.
after 1975, the vast majority remained as though nothing has happened.
but some left the organization.
however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..
Please help us understand WHY you stay connected to JW's, though disobedient in silence.
Seriously, what is the point???
there is a certain elder in my wives hall that has seemed to developed a real interest her.
first he seemed to feel a need to make sure all her blood cards were signed before she gave birth to our child.. he sends her text messages if she misses a meeting saying how much " we missed you last night ".
he finally sent her a text wondering where her oct hours were , knowing she had some pretty serious tears from child birth and could hardly even walk, much less do field service ".
I'd kick his teeth in for not respecting you as her husband.
Texting?
Seriously?
the wts has published over it's existence during the years a flood of books and magazines.
many of the content of this publications includes topics about the medical, social, history field and also counsel about life style.. the achilles heel of all these publications is, that they are written mainly by amateurs, without verification and validation.
most of it is worthless.
They got away with it because the vast majority of JW's don't read the Bible, their literature or anything else.
They go to meetings and get pounded with cult reasoning/phrases and repeat it over and over over.......dare I say "repetition for emphasis'
It is literally shocking how FEW JW's have ever read anything from the Society.
Proof? Listen to those 'elders' on the stand during the Australian hearings. They are clearly very, very uneducated people....regarding their own damn religion!!!!
"would you do absolutely anything which the governing body instructed you to do?
for example, sell your home and possessions, move in with another witness, and send all your money to the org?".
if 'no', they're showing that they will pick and choose which org directives they will follow.
I've used this line of reasoning since I left the Borg
Step One: Ask the question
Step Two: Open up their Bible to Psalms 146:3. Read. Ask them to explain.
So simple.........and so fun.
thought she was gonna take a pic of me on the sneak.
im df'd...been df'd for over 19 years already.
so she probably would have gotten away with it without anyone knowing.....except that her flash was on.
...is that most jws don't know anything about the financial news that is happening right now.
sure it has trickled down to the elders and those who volunteer for construction but the average jw has no idea.
no one in my hall has said a thing about it.
The vast majority know nothing about nothing.
Talk to them about Australia, who owns KH's and Bethel layoffs...
They just look at you like 'huh?'
And this includes elders.
They are deluded people who just go about their weekly schedule with no thought as to what they're a part of.
my thoughts are.
1. they want to avoid being made to comply with any laws that come with anything classed as a "school" especially a school with children enrolled.. 2. the mid-week meeting has been dying in the ass for years and needs a revival.
i predict happy -clappy-sing-a-longs to be included in the program.. anyone else have any thoughts ??
Beth Sarim,
WOW.....thank you for the response. This is a rumor I hadn't heard........ that is honestly mind blowing. How will they indoctrinate weekly??
before i was fully awake (i was never really) i would use the time at the meetings for day dreaming, for solving work related problems (in my mind) or just simply not fully listening to the talks.
after awhile everything just sounds all the same to you, nothing new.
think about it, i was really disappointed when they got rid of the announcements part, because actually thats the only part, where you could have heard something new (when the announcements where not from the kingdom ministry of course).
That is really the bottom line isn't it?
If more JW's used their minds, studied and listened......they would wake up!
They don't study....they don't read....that generation of JW is already out (as seen here daily)
