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.

Wingy. Here, here. Absolutely agree with you, squire.

I had it shoved down my throat that I was to be a good-little JW at all times

Me too. I was mainly embarrassed to do it, but 'preach(tm)' I had to. Lawdy, it was an uncomfortable life. The Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), have no idea....or if they do, they laugh at the Jobots discomfort.

a member of the "world" approached him in casual talk.......and he completely missed the opportunity to lead it into a preaching opportunity

It shows that they probably don't believe their own crap-house nonsense.

freedom of speech and loss of rights

by enoughisenough in

i was thinking about freedom of speech after watching a clip about the jw suing kevin mcfree.

they wanted to take away his freedom of speech.

but in thinking about it, that is the way of the organization, save they want to control thought as well.

When you consider how the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), stifle the speech of victims of Watchtower approved nonces, then is it any wonder they want to stifle anything that might damage their reputation?

Damaged reputation = loss of money. Oh my, oh my, how would poor TOMO get into a drunken stupor then?

FM - The first amendment legally applies etc & I don’t know the case you reference

The Youtuber is British, mate. Like me. I'm not sure how American amendments apply to him.

Beth's Serum - the Borg hates being proved wrong.

It's hilarious how many times they are proved wrong and even prove themselves wrong. Where do you start with that one? No wonder TOMO tries to remain drunk.

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.

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.

In the universe of grooming gang protector in chief, Kier Starmer?

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!!!!!

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.
