What to do with old publications

by TonyMorronTheTurd in

hi guys,.

it's been a while since i posted here, but i feel like posting again.. it's hard sometimes to find the energy to post here after i expend all my time working a full time job and pretending i care about the wt$ at the same time.. i've been trying to slowly wake my girlfriend up ever since i first posted here, and i must say it is a long waiting game that i am playing right now.

almost all my efforts are dismissed and i've been slowly losing hope.. anyways, what i meant to really post here today is about old publications.. honestly anything that has to do with the watchtower and jdubs, as of recently makes me feel like vomiting.

Repercussions for sexual immorality

by Veryconflicted in

hello, i was hoping to get some clarification about how people are disciplined for immorality as a jw.

i became involved with a co-worker a few years ago, she was fairly aggressive and she initiated a physical relationship very quickly.

at the time i did not know she was married and a jw.

Likely the best thing you can do for yourself is move on! Fast!

This lady is totally f*cked up with the JW Bullshit!

Obviously she has moved on. You should likewise.

Good luck!

Best way to preach to a JW

by Youngaposthate in

when they come to your door knocking... the best way to preach back is.... handing them a comic book when they hand you a watchtower magazine..

If your question is serious -- the only thing you can do is "plant a seed" of doubt. Some thought that they might Google when they are alone or something that will nag them every time the matter comes to mind in the future.

What is that "one" thought or issue? There isn't "one" answer for that.

A person with whom I "studied" is who planted some of my doubts that contributed to my awakening to TTATT.

WTB&TS And The Lawyers They Employ.

by smiddy3 in

i have been thinking about the legal departments that look after the wts interests around the world.i can`t believe these legal eagles offer their services on a voluntary basis like the r&f do.and i don`t believe their services would come cheap.. as an organization the size of jw.org and its offshoots of companys and interests around the world ,the cost of keeping them gainfully employed must amount to a considerable sum of money.. especially the law suits against them with child abuse court cases that arise on a regular basis ,and the government inquiry`s into the jw religion that is happening in different countries now.. all paid for by the voluntary contributions that come from the r&f for the worldwide preaching work .. contributions to pay for the wt organization`s legal department to defend themselves in court ?.

did jesus and the apostles pay lawyers to defend them in a court of law with funds donated by their supporters ?.

There are some attorneys who are JW's. The couple that I know donate their services to WTS. One was a convert and he/she even semi-retired from their law firm and worked full time at Bethel for several years. The other was a paralegal and his/her employer put them through law school and he/she works pro bono for WTS with the estates of local JW's wanting to gift $$ to WTS.

The high profile cases -- I suspect WTS hired the high profile (worldly) attorneys for some of these as there is too much liability at risk just beyond the case at hand.

Midweek Meeting looooooooong prayers.

by Davros in

jw
friends

one thing that aggravates me is long concluding prayers, especially at the midweek meeting.

you work all day, rush home, grab a quick bite, dress up in meeting clothes.

then, go to the meeting.

There was a dear old CO that I loved that always told anyone assigned to a prayer at the assembly/convention to be mindful NOT to pray for so long that the audience thinks you are jealous that you did not get the talk as your assignment.
