  The Watchtower Penitentiary

  by stuckinamovement in

  learning the truth about the watchtower society can be very painful for a number of reasons.

  first, it is so disconcerting to realize that the core of your existence and the foundations of your beliefs are false that it can throw you for a real loop.

  as witnesses we are so confident in all of the answers we have been given, to questions that we never asked, that we mentally put ourselves up on a pedestal above the masses of poor, blind, wicked humanity.

  I read your powerful and satisfying post to my wife this morning. She knows how I feel and listens more and more to snippets from JWN and JWFact.

  I fantacised with her about using a talk slot on the platform to say exeactly how I feel and why I feel it. I would love to stand up and be counted. You have my vote SIAM.

  Good Luck.

  Is "full-time service" a cult within a cult?

  by brokethechain in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the bite model, mind control groups keep their members busy, tell them they are special, have special lingo, etc.. doesn't that make "full-time ministers" into a deeper level of mind control?

  it's a "special privilege" to be among those "ranks", there are extra meetings "anual pioneer meeting", "pioneer school", and a whole other level of guilt/indocrination/control for keeping pioneers/bethelites busy.

  as "examples", they shouldn't socialize too much, they shouldn't miss field service groups, they should start their time early, they should study all the publications, etc.

  Absolutely on a self made pedestal. See how someone is treated when he leaves bethel, resigns as a circuit overseer.

  He suddenly despite his @@@years in full time service is treated like something to clean off the bottom of your shoe by those still in "full time service".

  I loved the story, you and the younger sister down the dirt road? Nobody in? You go a bit further? I thought you were going to get it on for sure. Why didn't you?

  January 2013 Watchtower - HAVE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES GIVEN INCORRECT DATES FOR THE END?

  by TheStumbler in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i was just on the new jw.org site and i have to say, they've done a good job.

  it looks pretty sleek and is easy to navigate.

  the production values of their magazines (in particular the photos) seems to have improved since i last spent much time on the site.

  The old pregnancy gag. My wife was put on the stage to illustrate that point. She was probably eight months pregnant. Did she know when the birth would be? No but it would be soon.

  That baby is nearly 40 years old now. Hmmmmm!

  About what one thing do you find yourself being a real SNOB?

  you know, to fit in....to be a part of our own family or group and not be a total nerd or contrarian.. we hold our tongue.

  we smile and nod.. but, then....there is at least one thing we just can't go along with because it is too important.. why?

  because we are a total snob.

  Malt whiskey over blended, Armagnac over Cognac.

  Battered repaired hand made leather shoes over rubber soles, I’ve got some I have been keeping going for 40 years. They just get more and more character. Just get 'em out and polish 'em, (you could try that wth the shoes)

  Whale learning human speech

  by Satanus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a beluga whale at the national marine mammal foundation has been making sounds uncharacteristic for belugas.

  it has lowered the pitch to make it similar to human voice.

  scientists there surmise that it picked it up from its yrs of human interaction.
