Keep telling yourself that!

by Lost in the fog in

in the latest copy of the elders textbook someone kindly made available to us on this website, i see that "independently organized meetings for spiritual feeding" are still not allowed.

no wonder because independent research would let the scales fall from the eyes.. the gb still insisting that they are guided by the (always lower case) holy spirit and the bible!!

not that the rank and file members need the bible or holy spirit themselves because they are fed through meetings, conventions, assemblies, jw broadcasting and the publications.

The only 'spirit' the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), are guided by is top brand Whiskey. Just watch TOMO slur his words as he gives his drunken, delusional, hate speech on the Broadcast(tm).....and the Jobots lap up every bit of hubris from this alcohol infused bunch of sexual predator protectors.

Looking back to when I was a Jobot, I wonder how I never saw through the lies and hate from the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them).

I wish I'd woken up sooner, although I'm not going to say I didn't have doubts, but I suppressed them. I didn't want 'Jehovah(tm)' to lovingly murder me at 'Armageddon(tm)'.

They guilt tripped me bad. I can never forgive them or myself for falling for it.

Combatting Cult Mind Control was the best thing I ever read.

Do the old boys on the GB actually report their field service hours?

by eyeslice in

this came to mind as my 71 year old wife got up at 6:30 to drive 1.1/4 hours to meet the field ministry group.

we live a long way from the kingdom hall and the traffic is horrendous where we live!.

somehow, i doubt the good old boys do much themselves.

TOMO the 3rd will be too drunk on expensive Whiskey to be bothered.

I'm sure the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), are exempt from anything other than a rock star life style.

I can imagine TOMO drunk (like he usually seems to be), hurling TV's out of Hotel windows. Goosing the Bell Boy's bum and winking.

I feel the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), will never live by their own (not the Bible's), rules as they sneer down on the great unwashed. (Unless one is a sexual predator, then TOMO and the boys will rally around to protect their like minded nonce).

Safe to say, they won't count time(tm). As Smiddy says quite rightly, it's below them.

why celebrate xmas?

by enoughisenough in

many on here are ex jw....they have left the jws because of coming to find out the many false indoctrinations.

one of the things learned as a jw is that there isn't anything true about xmas being the birth of jesus.

( matt chapter 2 tells a whole different narrative about the baby jesus than what is portrayed by the christian churches) they learn the ways that are celebrated are pagan practices jesus told the samaritan woman that god wanted to be worshipped in spirit and it truth.

Pioneer couple sense of entitlement

by nowwhat? in

so there's this middle age pioneer couple.

he works part time and the wife doesn't work at all.

their daughter is getting married and even though it is known they go on multiple vacations a year, they expect the grooms parents to pay for 100% of the wedding!

Is it because they're Pious-sneers or because they're just grotty people?

Perhaps being pious-sneers, it enhances their grotty nature.

Call The Police and Press Charges.

by Lost in the fog in

it strikes me as a double standard - if someone in the congregation is known by the elders to be a child abuser they wouldn't call the police and "bring reproach on jehovah" as numerous reports have shown.. however, if someone disturbs a congregation meeting the elders are instructed by the org to call the police and tell the police that they want to press charges against the individual.. you couldn't make this stuff up!.

The 'disruptive individuals(tm)' are not giving money to the Corporation. Therefore, they are of no use to TOMO the 3rd's Whiskey fund. How can TOMO remain drunk and slurring his words if the 'disruptive individuals(tm)' are not forcing money into the 'contribution box(tm)'?

The WBT$ disgusts me to the very core with their tolerance and protecting of child abusers. It is to do with reputation which aids with money.

They are duplicitous filth. It makes me wonder if there are nonces on the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), and they are thereby protecting their own.

As has been said before many times.........................FOLLOW THE MONEY!

It leads straight to TOMO's liver.

BB - The customs and traditions and the food are unappealing to me so I have no problem with sitting it out.

Me too.

....and can someone stop that bloody awful X-mas music on the radio without me having to turn it off?

No. I can't stand Michael bloody Buble singing off time and like a limp cabbage and people thinking he's great. NO! He's SH1T! And I wish Chris DiReah had darned well got home so he can shut his gob. Nor am I interested in some bloody alien coming to Earth for the b@stard 100th time. It's a song that is almost going somewhere but because of poor writing never gets to the high point. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

It really drives me insane.

When people say, 'Oh, I feel all 'Christmassy''. What are you on? Ritalin got to you ducky?

If any time of year makes me want to wipe chimpanzee pooh all over a supermarket and pee in the freezers, it's bleedin' Christmas.

WHY ARE PEOPLE SUCH SHEEP? ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Jehovah's Witnesses discontinue online Bible Study program today 12/12/2022

by Balaamsass2 in

well, that went by the wayside quickly.

another flip-flop by the indiscrete slave?.

december 12, 2022what’s new.

NBD - Jehovah's chariot is on the move I guess right?

I suppose something needed to move. It looks like the 'Pale Horse(tm)' threw a shoe and fell over when Covid (The pestilence to end all pestilences), fizzled out and prevented Armageddon(tm) happening any time soon.

Have the Jehovah's Witnesses brought reproach on the name Jehovah?

by Vanderhoven7 in

i would have to say yes...by tagging god's alledged name in their title and attaching to it unusual doctrines, end of world date predictions, deadly blood interpretation, abusive shunning policy, csa cover ups.. is there more?.

punkofnice

I'm not sure I believe in God as such....yeah, I know, not sure. Almost certain it isn't a Bible deity if it's still alive though.

However, regardless of that, I find that most religions are a bad advert for their chosen deity and holy book.

To the outside world, the Jobots give a semblance of living a clean, toothpaste smile, Christian(tm) life but just scratch below the surface and the Organisation(tm) (With a 'z' instead of an 's' if you're reading this in Americanese), mired in perversion, drunken leaders and dishonest filth,

Have the Jehovah's Witnesses brought reproach on the name Jehovah?

If Jehovah(tm) is God, then I don't know. the God of the Bible seems a bit of a disgusting character. So, I don't know if they're just following Jehovah's(tm) lead.

Pioneer hour requirement returns

by FFGhost in

so, just posted on jw.borg:.

as of march 2023, the hour requirement for pioneers, which was suspended during the pandemic, will once again be enforced.. elders will review the activity of all pioneers in june 2023. if it appears that any do not have a “practical schedule” (aren’t getting at least close to 70 hours per month”), elders are to “kindly and frankly discuss their circumstances”.. what’s that sound that seems like a torpedo plane diving on its target?

that’s the sound of the number of regular pioneers in complete free fall .

punkofnice

Oh, tittle pooh. Jehovah's Chariot(tm) engine has been stopping and starting again like a plane without fuel.

Sputtering out.

May the Tower fall and TOMO the Turd be rehabilitated from his possible obsessive alcohol addiction,
