  Rocketman - "Actually I'm in the opinion that when people visually see the great FDSL ones speak they may be more accepting to what the glorified spiritual ones say, in other words better brainwashing."

  I just got the weirdest slogan image in my head... "Jehovah's Witnesses: Better Blessedness Through Brainwashing"

  
  

  Seriously, though, I'm sort of on that page, too...

  ...Stephen Lett is the first example to come to mind. After all, the rest of the Crazy Eight have gotta know just how fucking ridiculous the guy sounds, but they still put him on.

  The only reason for that (that makes any sense to me) is that he's gotta be some kind of litmus test...

  ...they realize if a dutiful rank-and-filer can drink Letto the Clown's Kool-Aid and still say "please, sir, can I have some more" and mean it...

  ...the Org's got him for life.

  Like I've said before...

  ...the Org should produce a true-to-the-text adaptation of the Revelation Climax book (after the JesusVision miniseries is finished... shared universes are all the rage, now, after all).

  I swear, it'd be the most fucked-up, batshit-crazy-looking thing ever seen.

  Jeezus, it's getting to the point where it's weird if the Org isn't in some kind of trouble with the law.

  Looking Back Were There Any “Apostates” In Your Congregation?

  i remember knowing some jws that expressed their own personal viewpoints regarding what a scripture meant that was at odds with society teachings.

  in the 60 and 70’s, that was pretty much tolerated until the great purge in 1979 and 1980. as a matter of fact, it wasn’t unusual for witnesses to get together and discuss personal questions and viewpoints they might have.

  it wasn’t unusual to send letters to the society asking what was considered the right or wrong view.

  What “Secret Sins” Do You Think Many JWs Are “Guilty “ Of?

  by minimus in

  i know a lot of witnesses that drink a lot!

  secret sins people would confess to the elders were masturbation, dating and touching certain areas and anger issues.

  some fathers/husbands looked like model figures until you heard from the family that the dictator ms were horrible at home in more ways than one..

  Two Quotes Jehovah’s Witnesses in Particular Need to Consider

  by PhilosophicalLogic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  “he who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that.

  his reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.

  but if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations.
