The Two Forces

by N.drew in

the ark pictures the response to one kind.. it means the customs of the people can cause catastrophe.. and most people did not stop the destructive behavior , but some used it to be redeemed.. .

sodom pictures the other kind.. it means the people respond badly to the intuitive recognition that doom is ahead.. .

in one case what the people are doing causes something bad.

I am now dumber for reading the first and last pages of this thread.

Oh dear god, someone please tell me that that picture has been photoshopped.

I find that more disturbing that the article on 'mentally diseased apostates'..............

How do I respond to this? from my father

by alamb in

a daughter .

daughters are precious, in so many ways,.

from the day of their birth, till the end of your days.. .

Holy Christ! And he has the balls to write you that shit??!! What an asshole of the first order. Well, here's a little something you should write back to him and send a copy to every member of his congregation:

A FATHER

Fathers should be precious, in so many ways,
From the day of our birth, till the end of our days.

You look up to them as you think they know best;
But you never expect, that you they'd molest.

You hide your shame with a bright fake smile;
Wondering how they could possibly rape their own child.

They go to the Meetings, pretending they're good;
You'd like to tell someone---oh if only you could.

You pray for release, from the horrors at night;
And hope you'll make it through to next morning's light.

Please God! Protect me, and help me get through,
Because fathers like mine, are neither seldom or few.

YOU DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH.

Call to legal department Jan 6, 2012

by koolaid-man in

troubled former witness calls legal department at the watchtower organization.............. dale beckman says, can the "society" be guilty of "alienation of affection?

" in my case, my family has been told it is proper to hate me and to do nothing to help me in any way - otherwise, they could be considered a sharer in my works of "unforgivable sin.

" they are told not to even greet me.

Unfortunately, 'Freedom of Religion' still trumps everything, including what it does to families, marriages and lives. Until our countries realize that 'Freedom of Religion' should not be a blank cheque for cults to destroy people's lives, cases like this are going to continue.

The three Magi Why did Joseph let them in?

an interesting question, since they were "practicers of spiritism".

Isn't St. Nicolas the Anti-typical King of the South?

Can you be a JW in good standing and NOT go door to door?

by Terry in

the 2nd president of the watchtower bible and tract society, j.f.rutherford was criticised by some elders in the (then) independant congregations for urging members to go door to door while neglecting to do so himself.

rutherford responded:.

frequently some elder says: the president of the society does not go from house to house selling books.

Mary

Wow! Terry! I've never seen that quote before.......Of course, what Rutherfraud really meant was:

The Lord has graciously given me about as much as one man can well do. When I have looked after the management of the work at headquarters with its many departments; when I have given attention to a voluminous mail; when I have managed thirty odd branch offices in different parts of the earth and kept in close touch with them by correspondence and examination of their reports, and given advice and counsel as to what shall be done; when I have given attention to many legal matters that have arisen against members of the Society by reason of the opposition of the enemy; when I have given counsel to the various parts of the radio work; when I have prepared copy for The Watch Tower and other publications; and occasionally written a book or booklet and followed it progress through the manufacturing thereof; and when I have attended to many other details, Ensuring that I have plenty of good Canadian whiskey that's been smuggled across the border, I have not had very much time to go from door to door. If all of your time is as fully occupied in some part of the Lord's service trying to obtain illegal alcohol from another country so that my mistress and I can booze it up on a regular basis, then you have no time either to go from house to house.

No, the King of the South is Saint Nicolas, who is from Turkey.

That is such a lie.....everyone knows that the King of the South is Elvis.

CO visit. New light

by 2tone in

jw
friends

if you want to skip to the new light or understanding, its underlined for you pleasure.

i think some will find this interesting.

we had the co tonight.

Mary

How can this CO get ahead of wts? I don't remember this new light being anywhere in a wt so is he the only CO telling this or has anyone else heard this from any other CO visit?

I can't imagine any loyal CO trying to pass off his own personal ideas as "new light from the Slobbering Body Members"----there'd be no quicker way for him to end his career in the Organization. Plus, I think they like to test the waters before putting it in to print just to see what the reaction of the R&F will be. Not only that but they know full well it'll be posted on JWN, JWFacts and FreeMinds.org before the ink is dry on the WT.

So Jesus hasn't sat down on his throne yet eh? So if he hasn't started ruling as king since 1914, then what exactly has he been doing for the past 98 years? Working out how to make an 'overlapping generation' work? Just unbelievably retarded........

I think the morons at the top realize that the R&F are losing faith in their nonsense, which is why they are re-emphasizing more and more 'blind obedience' to the Governing Body members---no questions asked. And while their statement that you can't see the F&DS is absurd, there's method to their madness in stating this.

One of the things that kept the British Monarchy up on a pedestal for so long was the idea that they should not be 'seen' very often in public. "We must not let in daylight upon magic." The public knew they were there behind palace walls, but the vast majority of them had never actually seen them---it gave a sense of awe and reverance to the whole set-up. I believe the Organization is trying to do the same thing. The vast majority of Witnesses today have never seen a member of the Governing Body, even though they know they're there behind the walls of Crooklyn New Jerusalem. For many Witnesses, it adds a sense of awe and reverance to the whole set up and puts the GB basically on the same playng field as Jesus.

It should be interesting to see how this plays out in any future WT study articles. While they're trying to sound authoritive, their "new light" is getting more and more ridiculous every time they open their mouths.

Thanks for posting that!

Sparks are gonna fly in my home

as i've mentioned in a previous post, my wife has been sending mixed signals to me for years on what she does concerning violating jw rules.

what i didn't mention at the time was that she has also gone through gung ho sprees from time to time.

she is now insisting on taking the kids to the hall.

Mary

Troubledmind, your story is so sad. And altogether too familiar amongst ex-Witnesses. The boyfriend of a friend of mine (Rob) has an ex-wife who became a Witness and is raising their two young kids to be Witnesses. Rob's ex moved 100 miles away with the kids so he only sees them every other weekend. I'm thinking of talking to him about trying to get them more often because the poor guy has no idea that his ex will be raising those kids to see their father as 'part of Satan's world' and will probably have very little to do with him when they grow up.

When Gumby's hypocritial family helped him get re-instated, (even though they knew he was an 'apostate'), they assured him that once in, he could do The Fade again, and they would still be able to socialize with him. Of course, once he was back in, their story changed and his creepy son-in-law told him to his face that they only said that because they figured he would re-embrace their bullshit once he was back in and under no circumstances would Gumby be allowed to see his grandkids if he stopped attending the meetings. The lot of them make me sick.

Mouthy does not see her daughter, her granddaughter or her great-granddaughter who are all in Montreal (I think). Even though the granddaughter got pregnant out of wedlock (still a big no-no in WT world) and is living with a guy, she also won't have anything to do with her grandmother because she's an "apostate" (although she has no problem accepting $$$ from Mouthy).

What a screwed up cult.
