  Ginge then told us we need to save water from his mansion with 16 bathrooms.

  It should be pretty obvious what the problem really is with someone that needs 16 bathrooms.

  (Full of ...........)

  With a whimper, not a bang

  the thread about old timers got me thinking about trends i see with the watchtower.

  i've changed my opinion about where the organization stands.

  when i joined the religion in 1973 it was dynamic, even the small congregation i attended sent out three or four pioneers.

  It must be tough when you're the #2 son all of your life. His only ticket to stardom was to kill off the older brother. Fast forward and now he's got some 2nd fiddle starlet to play the fiddle for his sad song.

  Losers. (Just because you have cash does not make you anything more than that.)

  israel retaliated and some are accusing israel of an “act of terrorism”.

  evidently these rockets are trying to get to tel aviv but the dome is getting overwhelmed.. i wonder if the usa and other nations will come to israel’s defense..

  I would not be surprised if Israel finds all this as a good excuse to stop Iran from continuing to pursue nuclear capability. Israel is kinda like the JWism. They really think they are God's Special People. But, they have BIG GUNS to kick ass. (JWs only have lawyers.)

  J Dublethink

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm just thinking of examples of jw doublethink.. here's one - jws will tell a bible study or unbaptised publisher that there is no hierarchy within the org.

  they typically remark on christendom's hierarchy but then say 'we are all brothers'.

  but as a person gets further into the cult, jws will constantly stress the need to obey the governing body.. jw hierarchy .

  What is your status (as of today) as a Jehovah's Witness?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  active believer...still attend meetings, go out in field service, believe it's ''the truth''.

  active non-believer... go to meetings and field service to please family... living a double life .

  inactive believer...don't attend meetings but believe it's the truth, one day might go back to kingdom hall.

  #4 -- Inactive agnostic.

  Convinced the WT bOrg does not have The Truth(®) but still have lingering thoughts about a Higher Power somewhere, somehow involved in it all. Just haven't really been shown any hard evidence to make a convincing argument.

  Announcement coming soon:
  

  It was at the 1990 Cedar Point "Somewhere in our dreams" convention that it was pointed out that the works of the modern day locust would soon draw to a close. In that end we see the end of the publishing of the Asleep magazine has now arrived. We rejoice with you in seeing this further understanding carried forth.

  Surely the Service Dept has someone reading this boards to find great ideas like this on how to spin this shit. Think about it! We are like their free polling numbers.

  Bathing Daily Doesn’t Help The Planet

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the new york times as well as other news agencies are reporting that in order to help save the planet we should limit our daily bathing.

  they say daily bathing really because popular in the 20th century because elites decided to impress and use petroleum based soaps and take advantage of their indoor plumbing.

  a lot of this daily bathing ritual was just for show.

  Bathing only once/week would surely help with social distancing and lower covid transmission rates.

  i woke up early in life.

  it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.

  in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?

  Divine Justice is what made the New World really attractive. Joe Hoover was going to "make all things right".

  Didn't happen. Ain't going to.

  No one (else) said life is fair.
