  fm - So you don’t blame the DA for dropping this case blah de blah

  Vid's inference is correct. You put words into people's mouths that they haven't said. Oh, you are a card!

  You make me laugh.

  Let's be honest, we, as mentally diseased apostates(tm), know more about all things Jobot than the Jobots do.

  They are happy in their Jobot haze of naivety

  I wager most of them have no idea who the GB(TM)(Pee be upon them), actually are. Just some greasy, gluttonous fat blokes in America that must be obeyed no matter what.

  Jobots are too happified(tm) to look into their own cult.

  Whether this bloke is a nonce or not, we all know that nonces are prevalent and positively enabled by the Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them). within the congregations(tm).

  Let's not be naïve about it.

  There's no arguing on behalf of the GB(TM) (PBUT).

  Does the Governing Body already know that Jehovah (the name) came from Babylon the Great?

  by Chevelle in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'll start by stating the obvious... according to the watchtower, the catholic church is a huge part of babylon the great which is led by satan and his demons.

  raymundus martini, a catholic monk (who "represents" babylon the great to some extent), woke up one day in the 13th century and decided to alter yhwh so it can be easily pronounced.

  hence the spanish-ish version of yhwh was created... jehova... (sounds something like this in spanish: heh-o-va).

  I shouldn't think they're bothered providing they can get, money, adoration and download Jimmy Saville class images on to their laptops.

  dear leamington spa and warwick elders.

  i wanted to thank you for your letter that has set me free.

  you have finally confirmed to me how ignorant you are as an elder body.. you should all be ashamed of yourselves as elders.. .

  Gav - Dear Leamington Spa and Warwick Elders

  Leamington Spa, so good they named it twice. Sorry, couldn't resist. I imagine the BOE(tm) will only read this bit then not bother with the rest because in their watchtower(tm) eyes, it's all apostate driven lies(tm).

  It would be nice if at least one of them read it all and some of it sank in.

  I'm happy you got that out of your system tho.

  My old congregation is being shuttered

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.

  it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.

  the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

  So, the 'dedication(tm)' talk they did when the structure was built didn't work?

  So much for the 'growth(tm)' they boast about.

  The Kingdumb Hells in my neck of the woods, it's laughable.

  1 is now an Islamic centre.

  1 Became a Mosque but I don't know what it is now.

  1 Became an African Pentecostal Church.

  

  I wonder if this means JWs are not the true faith?

  Watchtower (Study) August 2023 gaslighting and deflecting again.

  by was a new boy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  'they turn the story around to make it seem like you are at fault, deflecting attention and blame away from them to make you feel guilty.

  this type of emotional manipulation is called gaslighting.. .

  deflection is manipulation, and if it's coupled with other toxic relationship behaviors, it may be necessary to remove yourself from the situation.'.

  Whether you believe Scripture or not, It does say 'no one knows the day or hour', or words to that effect.

  The Governing Body(tm)(Pee be upon them), have relentlessly told the r&f(tm) that we are in the 'final part of the final part of the last days(tm)' and other such predictive platitudes. They ramp up the fear and guilt so that they can get money, power and protect their like minded Rolf Harris/ Gary Glitter class.

  More evidence that it's just a big business posing as a religion.

  CULT!

  Likes and Dislikes. How about making the identities known to the poster?

  2. suggestions

  i haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but i think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.. just your own topics and posts of course.

  what do you think simon?.

  How many new converts do you remember as a JW?

  by SydBarrett in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  inspired by the "whats the reason you think jw's are in decline" thread.

  my belief is that almost all the growth, at least in the western world is due to jw's having kids.

  i was a 4th generation jw from birth till about age 20, so the timeframe i can comment on would be my teen years.

  More have left the filthy disgusting cult than have been enticed in by 'witnessing(tm)' in my experience. This is based on the folk in congos I've been in or associated with over the years.
