  why do you think many jws are hostile and rude?

  or is that just my imagination?.

  Does anyone actually believe that Russia blew up its own gas pipeline?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. social
  2. current

  the claim that russia blew up its own pipeline functions, whether intentionally or not, as a test of our collective intelligence, and it’s worrisome how many fail the test.

  as a former pentagon official put it, “a child could tell you that doesn’t make sense”.

  they talk a lot about russian propaganda and suppression of their media, which i don’t doubt for a minute.

  At this point, I wouldn’t put anything past Putin.

  The guy’s a living, breathing, real-life Bond villain.

  Wow. It really is the end of an era.

  😳

  Can’t help but wonder if this is yet another example of circling-the-wagons-slash-closing-ranks.

  After all, the fewer publications there are, the less material is available to be offered door-to-door, the less door-to-door work can be done, and the less any halfway-knowledgeable householder can ask uncomfortable questions to those going door-to-door.

  i just read about a disfellowshipped person who was looking for other disfellowshipped persons to socialize with.

  ThomasMore - “As I recall, the C.O. felt that DF'd persons should have NO ASSOCIATION WITH ANYONE. That seemed particularly cruel to me!”

  Not to mention a perfect recipe for eventual paranoia and psychosis.

  Staying in physically for all the benefits

  by Indoubtbigtime in

  i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.

  also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .

  there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

  Why is this thread still going?

  I honestly thought the original thread title was meant sarcastically.

  What “benefits”? 🙄

  I’ve long felt that if the WTS wasn’t already its own worst enemy, they at least had one ready-made.

  Watchtower is Run Like the Mafia

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. bible

  anybody else notice this?

  the have a syndicate (governing body) regional bosses (district overseers), captians (circuit overseers), and elders are their "made men" that enforce policy at street level.

  if you run your mouth too much, they wipe out your whole family (disfellowshipping).
