Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

by Ron.W. in

a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

elder: 'yes.

i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

Of course I trust young children alone with Governing Body members. What could possibly go wrong? It's not like they're covering up a problem.

Armageddon DID come in 1975. It had to because they actually said it would.

Who Was The Biggest Jackass Circuit Overseer You Ever Met?

by Sea Breeze in

there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.

even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.

.

I didn't like Ray Shah, Charldon Johnson or Richard Cullen. There was an older bloke, white hair but I don't recall his name. Arrogant old turd. Ted something? Probably just as well because I don't care anymore. I found all the newer CO's were corporate shills. Not like the ones from the 60's and 70's when they still had some compassion. The ones I met before I escaped were grotty specimens.

How does the Govering Body get enlightenment?

by no-zombie in

from the earliest of times of the catholic church's ecumenical councils were used to make major changes to its doctrinal direction.

decisions were made by bishops, they were ratified by the pope ... and it was done.

and the laity had to accepted them or not.. and while splinter catholic religions accepted most of these councils, non-trinitarian faiths which developed latter (of which jehovah's witnesses are apart) did not.

how does the Governing Body receive spiritual enlightenment

Since the JW's are a fake religion, a cult even.............

They do whatever they think brings in money.

God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit have nothing to do with the JW leaders. These men are totally self serving, like most politicians.

Follow the money!

does anyone know how punky is ?

he hasn't posted in a while ?

jan from tam .

punkofnice

Yes. Where is he?

Oh, wait......that's me!

It's nice to be missed.

Several reasons I haven't been here.

I don't need reminding of the JWs anymore. They're a distant memory that I no longer identify with........or want to. That is no longer me.

After Mum died I saw how FM the troll used my pain to score attention seeking points along with a PM from another poster chiding me for my reaction. I don't need trolling from fake JWs or fake ex-JWs.

A lot of the threads about JWs are meaningless to me now because the cult has changed almost beyond recognition.

Lastly, my internet at work won't let me on this site anymore and I don't like using my phone with my eyesight. I am usually too tired to be bothered with going on the internet after work. I usually get more involved in family visits now that I have a new grandkiddie.

The band is no more.

I am just getting on with life i guess.

Thanks for all the best wishes.

Regards Paul

The ''dreaded'' birthday cake

by RULES & REGULATIONS in

the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.

11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?

or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?

punkofnice

The money you'd spend on Birthday gifts and such.........the Governing Body(tm) (Pee be upon them), want it.

They need to continue to protect their like minded perverts in lawsuits.

Are Jw's God's Organization?

by wantingtruth in

here i will quote a post written by "littleone" on another forum:.

when that original congregation apostasized, it formed the roman catholic church.

was it that the roman catholic church was jehovah's organization?

punkofnice

Are Jw's God's Organization?

No. Nor is anyone else.

Since when did 'organisation(tm)' make it into the Bible?

Manners and Respectfulness

by IWant2Know in

i would like to know if there are any ex's or formers who still appreciate good manners and respectfulness?

but i hope this question isn't offensive to this forum.

.

punkofnice

We're all individuals and have different values. Ex-JWs aren't a hive mind.

Perhaps the fake religion of Watchtower corporation(tm) would imply or say that Ex-JWs are all bad and go off the rails. What balderdash. Life is not that black and white.
