  Big Cull of Foreign Language Groups and Congregations

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i overheard mrs eyeslice listening to '2021 governing body update 3' yesterday.

  apparently, they have started ditching foreign language groups and congregations as these weren't exactly roping anyone in.

  of course there is a positive spin on all this - '4,000 plus elders freed up to serve in local language congregations' and of course there has been immensely positive feedback from various branches about the benefits of this.. i suspect though there will be an awful lot of elders who were serving as king pins in these congregations who are going to have their noses put out by going back to local language congregations where they will barely be used.

  I love the drive-by witnessing; it's always good for a laugh.

  Although sometimes my eyes roll so hard I can almost see my own brain.

  "The person voting things down is probably some butt-hurt Bethelite..."

  Well considering that this post hasn't had any, he's probably gone by now...

  JWs and Chastity Belts

  by Stephanus in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  in this day and age, chastity devices tend to only be used by the bdsm community and it also seems to be a male kink, where a man's wife/mistress "locks him up" and only "lets him out" for her pleasure, blah, blah, blah.

  however, the use of chastity belts for women still exists in many muslim countries and some strict parents in the west will lock up their daughters until they marry, in exchange for college tuition or other incentive (have you thought of this one, tr?

  does it happen in the jw community?

  I will say this...

  ...at least the average rank-and-filer doesn't actually have to keep up on all the constant changes, anymore.

  WTWizard - "These days, the jokehovians are such pansies that they could not defend themselves against a regular cat lick, faith wise."

  Crude, but succinct.

  Like Outlaw once said, "...old-school JWs were Watchtower warriors...today's Witnesses are soft..." (paraphrasing, but not much).

  Another bad faith video

  just sharing this for all the people who hated me saying it.

  funny how truth finally comes out if those of us who care enough to become lightning rods don’t let up.

  it’s taken a year, but the left wing ( not the same as a traditional liberal ) nut-job bs is becoming quite evident, and this will continue across multiple subjects as time passes.

  Even though he hasn’t died for my sins (yet), I’ve accepted Fauci into my heart as my Lord and Savior.

  Praise Fauci!

  How long did it take before you realized that you missed the obvious?

  remember when the public speaker in the kingdom hall or convention related the ten plagues and the parting of the red sea?.

  the finale when jehovah closes the red sea and swallows pharaoh's entire army of egyptian men.. when i was a little kid about 5 years old and listened to this story, i would think---wow jehovah is strong.

  when i started school and started learning compassion as early as the first grade i started wondering?????.

  mynameislame - "When I saw the children's version of the story of Sampson, it dawned on me that the story is really best suited to a comic book."

  Noah, Samson, David... superheroes of the ancient Hebrews.

  The Old Testament... the original Shared Universe.
