  i talked to a current jw today and he told me that it came out in print from the wtbts that you can be a memebr of the ymca as long as you don't associate with the other worldlys that go there..

  just a few years ago i was told that i couldn't be at the ymca because it was a christian org.. .

  The reasoning on that is you are buying an item not necessarily donating and getting nothing in return.

  Paying a membership to the Y, getting the use of the facilities in return.

  Has anyone here been a 'chairman' for an assembly? Question with regard to the script for introductions

  by ThomasCovenant in

  does anyone know if the chairman's introductions and announcements are completely scripted?

  particularly with the use of adjectives and adverbs when introducing talks and speakers.. 'as we listen intentedly....'.

  'we eagerly look forward to bro so and so's talk'.

  Control? The talks aren't scripted (at least not all). All things orderly and by arrangement. It makes sense to me to script this. I think it would be true for most an similar scenario in any organization.

  Nobody's telling me I can't join the Y. More than half of our congregation shops at St. Vincent DePaul Stores. I put money in the Salvation Army pot. I buy the little poppy from the Vets. I know Witness children who have benefitted from St. Jude's Hospitals and The March of Dimes. They perform good services for people. They don't discriminate because of religion. Why should I?

  It seems whenever there is a letter read to the congretation about available downloads, it is also mentioned that there is a cost involved for each download, although less than producing a hard copy of course, there is still a cost.

  Do you think the organization is paying additional cost for bandwidth because of downloads? Are they not hosting their own web servers? Just curious if anybody knows?

  MP3s !!! 2010-2011 DC TALKS

  by yknot in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  commentary on mp3s: (in addition to circulate as you see fit!).

  in light of the wts's recent attempts to conceal it's talks from broader inspection and documentation, mp3s to the public are now mostly the works of the 'conscious class' and those exjws who force themselves to endure hours upon hours of control-laced presentations.

  kudos to all those who embody anonymous.

  Watchtower installs a "Trojan Horse" in their followers and take over their brain

  by TastingFreedom in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm convinced jw's are under sooo much brainwashing and fully indoctrinated that their brains are disabled.

  they will never analyze or question any beliefs.

  it is all about the emotions, their brains are literally paralyzed.

  If your brain is cluttered with the WatchtowerWorm Trojan, these malware tools have proven to be quite successful in removal.

  "Judicial committee"

  by Newborn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it strongly bothers, upsets and irritates me that they call it judicial committee!!!

  as if it's a real supreme court with real lawyers and judges.

  are they even aloud to call it judicial???.
