re: magazine requests .
dear brothers: in our letter to all congregations dated october 20, 2015, regarding making wise use of printed magazines, publishers are encouraged to use good judgment to determine an individual’s interest before offering magazines.
Omg and the thing only has a few pages in it now! Couldn't even blow your nose with it!
They are cutting back yes but what I see is a getting rid of a bunch of junk. I would just have a garage sale when junk collects ....but they get their slaves to deliver it all around the neighbourhood! They are clearing out ..... maybe they will grabb the money and RUN!
slightly redacted for privacy of those involved.. so, this is "park witnessing" in oklahoma.. the parks in this community are basically walking trails and some tatty playground equipment.
most of the time, sparsely used, and today was a very blustery day.. notice the justifying comment- "quite a few" checking out the cart.
i am sure they were..... .
>>the bible reveals that jehovah issaddened when people pursue a wick-ed course and ‘the inclination of theirthoughts is only bad all the time.’ (readgenesis 6:5, 6.
) from this we can per-ceive that sexual fantasizing is wrongbecause it can lead to serious sin that isforbidden in the scriptures and is out ofharmony with jehovah’s way of think-ing.the disciple james wrote: “the wis-dom from above is first of all pure, thenpeaceable, reasonable, ready to obey,full of mercy and good fruits, impar-tial, not hypocritical.” (jas.
3:17) beingaware of this, we should be moved toreject entertainment that fuels impurethoughts and inclinations.
It is all about controlling you by guilt!
Do you really think JW.org (aka watchtower, jw's & GB) ...care about your principles or morals? Really?
Their every magazine, rule or command is presented only to GUILT you!
Guilt ...... a powerful motivator. Guilt is used to beat you down & keep you begging.
Guilt ........a religious tool of control.

the man asked jesus who is my neighbor jesus stated the one who acts mercifully toward other humans.
not good enough for watchtower neighbor must fit in three catagories only according to yesterdays wt wow changed the words of the son of god.
As a jw what bothered me, were the self righteousness & time counting thoughts that occurred when helping a neighbor down the block or some poor woman who has fallen on the sidewalk.
Before I was mixed up in this cult, I wouldn't give it a second thought to help someone .......it just happened 'naturally'!
Mind control again!

in my old congro the p.o's wife came 1st before anyone and i mean anyone!!.
karter..
As Freddo said, the Co was a great guy, if he & his family were not I would not have been interested either.
This was before the body of elders thing happened about the mid 1970's. After that things really changed ..... position & money became the important thing. There were the unspoken levels of groups in the congregation. The "friends" started having only people on their A list as friends ......& maybe some B list people. This list got right to the bottom where only the bits & pieces & undesirables were placed ......their lives were hell!
it seems that some co need much more $$ and in some countries they started to promote multilevel sales among their contact network.
have you been involved in any offer of such nature?
Oh yes big time! Mostly vitamins & Tea Tree oil products, Amway. Seems like it comes naturally to them ....always trying to flog something!

The deep things, are the depths of their depravity.
The story of Lot & his daughters was mentioned .......just like to say that it is a mans world now and was a mans world then. It was not the daughters who raped their father (hello!) it was Lot who blamed his child abuse & rape on them, Of course it would be written that it was the 'womans' fault!

it has been along time since i have posted something.
my wife and i have just moved to ny just west of jamestown.
our log house in pa was so far from everything it was costing us to much time and money.
Hey we've missed you guys ...... house sounds great! Do still make doughnuts ? Seem to remember you were doing that for awhile. Hang out with us here more often, once you get settled OK.

i tend to avoid the subject because it's too depressing, so i've probably missed lots of discussion about this issue.
but i read a comment on youtube yesterday that shocked me and made me wonder.
the person claimed that many years ago abusers in society generally identified jws as a safe haven for abusers and joined en masse order to exploit the situation.
Brooklyn admits, some who are prominent within Jehovah's witnesses engaging in...wife swapping, pedaephillia .........
