did you ever refuse to go in service with someone?
i did.... i went to the kh to meet for service and 3 brothers were there.
i told the brother taking the lead, that when he made up the car groups to take note i had a plan of my own -the 3 brothers could go together and i would do my own thing.
When I was FS group leader(tm), I had instructions from the CoBE(tm) that certain individuals were not allowed to 'work(tm)' together.
There was one brother(tm) who was a nightmare to work with. You couldn't tell him he was bonkers either. He was 'enthusiastic(tm)'.
hi folks.. i put this in abuse as i thought it relevant.. a physically in mentally out friend that considers our friendship greater than religion told me that on the latest broadcast steven lett alluded to satans voice being behind people that claim the organisation protects pedophiles.. my friend then went on to say they must be in damage control.. he added, but that is correct, they are hiding their internal records.
is not that construed as protecting the accused?.
if i get the inclination i may post a snippet of what was actually said.. sadly my friend is trying to protect his family relationships and so goes along with the charade.. his situation weighs on me but, as many of you here know, it can be a difficult road to travel.. jtg.
jtg - steven lett alluded to satans voice being behind people that claim the organisation protects pedophiles
Satan = Fiction, a lie. Steven Lett = Using fiction and lies so he can continue to protect paedophiles.

Information control. Obviously the balloon would burst the moment a Jobot looks behind the curtain.
just wanted to say hey.
i’m in australia.
i’ve just woken up… i’m disfellowshipped and finding it hard without family although i do have one sister who isn’t interested in the truth, so that’s good… at least i can talk to her.
Hello Chicky. Welcome to the land of the free.
I do have one sister who isn’t interested in the truth
I would advise you to stop using the term 'the truth' because this is their term to trick your brain into thinking it it indeed true. I now use 'in the corporation' or 'in the watchtower' or 'in the cult'.
I have no idea about the land down under but www.jwfacts.com is the place to go. I believe Paul that runs it is a fellow Aussie.
......so i thought i'd treat myself; i placed an order with the acme escort agency.. damn it, they only had a fiesta available!.
It's the usual case of, 'Oh. But it's okay when WE do it!'
what i mean is the mormon's have their own set of wacky beliefs and are a pretty insular group, engage in a form of door to door ministry but don't discourage higher education.
in fact, the handful of mormons i went to school with were pushed to excel academically and go to college.
yeah there are ex mormons but for a great many, going to university doesn't turn them into atheists.
BH -
Do you think the JW's ever will or could go the Mormon route?
Only if there's money in it for the GB(TM).
examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.
know ye not your own selves, how that jesus christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

I saw Jesus on a piece of toast once. I also saw 'Allah' written in Arabic in a slice of tomato. I know, I saw the pictures in the papers.
Now I'm confused about God and all.
when i was a teenager a younger fellow workmate was involved in the sport of judo.i got interested and went along to a number of sessions and took to it like a sponge to water ,and as a sport i was happy participating in.. not that much longer another workmate was getting re-activated in the religion of jw`s.
which i had never heard o before and then got interested in that .. conflict : was judo a sport that was compatible with j.w beliefs?
sadly i decided it was not and stopped any further involvement.. to this day i resent that decision i made back then .and i`m 82 years old now.. it was a sport i was comfortable doing and i enjoyed it.and i gave it up because of the religion .who knows what i may have achieved had i continued with it.
Smids - I went to see the Chris Barber Jazz band at the Cresset, Peterborough ~UK back in the 70's.
here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .
I wonder if my Jobot indoctrination is still working in me. IE. All politicians and people in authority are utter liars and filth.
Is that Jobot indoctrination, or reality?

Sorry, Jan. I didn't read your post, I was looking at your battery charge.
We're being conned is all I can think.
They think we're all sheeple.
