  Is the Governing Body trolling us?

  by kneehighmiah in

  i'm starting to believe the bethel higher ups are trolling us.

  the outright contradictions and stuff like overlapping generation is too ridiculous.

  calling out the harold camping when we did the same thing.

  so--in the UK--does the WTS pay the national insurance contributions for these CO's & DO's--so they get the state pension--or do they fall back on pension credit ( guarantee )--which is non-contributions based--but is means tested ?

  by LogCon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  many, after leaving or being cast out of 'the society,' have felt so strongly so as to write a book.

  some well thought out and good reading.. my questions are the following:.

  if you were to write such a book what title would you give it ?.

  JEHOVAH'S WITNESS

  nah--ridiculous. no sane person would buy it.

  it would just be an expensive vanity publication.

  I think my D.O. Is a closet apostate. References Stanford Prison Study and hints he sometimes disagrees with the Branch

  i find it odd that the district overseer today made.

  1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.

  4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.

  or--just ask him if he reads "jwn"

  if he replies--yes--wait for him to continue

  if he replies--no--he does !!!

  but if he replies--"whats jwn ?"---its up to you how you handle it. could be fun.

  as a ex jw i am cyncial to dating perhaps because i did not do much dating as a jw.

  do any of you still feel this way?

  i am not against dating but i am still that dating and getting yourself emontionallt attached is sort of a way of being in chains..

  I do too I love and respect women but I feel that many would look at me and scream and run the other. I recently asked a girl out and she just walked away.

  yeah--i see what you mean---i think you need to change your avatar---it really sux

  by the way--youre going about it all wrong with women--let them chase you--and reject the first 100 or so--just to be on the safe side.
