  Governing Body; Villians or just Deluded?

  by pistolpete in

  are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.

  thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.

  the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.

  Like I keep saying...

  ...they know it's wrong... but believe it's true... at the same time.

  Has anyone still in or otherwise heard anything about JWs think we only have 12 months before Armageddon?

  i’ve noticed a change in family attitude recently, like there is just something extra on their mind.

  i even had to call my brother to check if he was dying and too scared to tell me.

  anyway, i saw a video last night my saying jws think we only have 12 months left before armageddon so thought maybe this is the reason for changes attitude.

  hoser - "The reason they are building is that the end is so soon. With all the resurrected after Armageddon they will need these facilities for education work... That is their spin on it. I heard it at an assembly one time from a DO when that was still a thing..."

  This.

  Same reasoning they give for the shiny new compound in Warwick...

  ...the New System will be governed from there as the de facto planetary capital.

  stan livedeath - "is 'truthmatters' the same person that was on here with several usernames recently?"

  If he is, he'll be due for a JC if his local elder body finds out.

  That video pretty much confirms what I suspect...

  ...the Org leadership doesn't like long hair and bears because they often can make a man look more attractive.

  And they don't want the rank-and-file to look too pretty.

  So telling that there are no little children

  by eyeslice in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  watching in on my wife's zoom meeting last night, there was an item about discipline is love.

  they played a 'caleb' animated cartoon and then the instructions were 'if possible, ask selected young children' several questions.. it seems however, that there are no children in my wife's current congregation so the questions were all answered by retired brothers and sisters.

  the congregation mainly consists of elderly people (like us) and the few of childbearing age seem not interested in having children.

  JW GoneBad - "Two things are certain. JW rank & file membership numbers will continue to drop & JW partakers' numbers will continue to climb... this outcome is the complete opposite of what the 8 clowns at the top of this cult hope for..."

  They definitely dislike the latter, but the former?

  I actually think they want to prune the membership down to a more manageable size (without actually looking like they want to, of course, because "growth=God's Blessing" has been burned so deeply into the Org's ideological DNA).

  Do You Know Of Anyone That Has Seen A Therapist Because Of Being A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i really don’t know of many people who got into therapy because of their jw dealings but i would think that if someone remains depressed or severely affected by their past witness life, it’s not a bad idea to speak to someone to get you on the right path.

  i think this site has been very therapeutic for many over the years..

  I remember when I first realized that the JW lifestyle and worldview might not be the most conducive to mental and emotional health.

  Fairly early in my fade.
