  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.

  Way way way back it was Angelo Manera. (You have to be very old to remember him.) But all JW's had a bit harsher personalities back then.

  More recently, a CO named Frank Barr (not sure about that spelling). He was a poor excuse of a CO. They were obviously scraping the bottom of the barrel when WTHQ sent him on the road. His wife was even a worse bitch, especially to the young/teen crowd.

  And even more recently, I think they all seem to be "Company Men" who know they'll lose their cushy little job if they let something slip by that costs HQ a few bucks.

  Know it’s not true but stay anyway

  how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.

  my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  Five generations? Or, one "overlapping" generation?

  I might agree that most JWs think that some of it is NOT TRUE, but still they will tell you that IT IS THE CLOSEST TO THE TRUTH that is out there anywhere.

  BUT, there are plenty that just lap up the KoolAid and truly believe.

  The Elders' decisions are directed by Holy Spirit and are merely confirming the decisions already made in heaven.

  Yeah..........right!

  Still Confused About The FDS

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this was prompted by another thread where it was revealed that the gb were referred to as "our future kings" in a wt video.

  https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4911685446402048/fun-moment.

  if i've got it right, the 144,000 are (or were until recently) the fds.

  Confused?

  They are 8 (or 9, or 10, or 12, depending on when you're counting heads) delusional men that really, honest to God, think that God is "talking" to them, and "through" them to a few million sheeple followers (less than 1/10th of 1% of the world population), who have declared themselves, and them alone, as the Faithful & Discreet Slave spoken about in Matt. 24:45. Though just a few years ago, they taught that it was all of those who declared to be of the remaining members of the 144,000 (the "remnant"). Evidently that changed to it being ONLY the GB when the "F&D Slave" was named in a lawsuit and served to one of those claiming to be of the "remnant".

  Wake up! It's all bullshit!

  Let's review: It's a Cult!

  Kingdom hall cleaning

  by Farmer Jim1 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what are your memories of hall cleaning?.

  i actually enjoyed it on the whole, my dad as the elder always tried to keep it to under one hour but in my later years in a hard-line congregation it was a chore.

  the po's wife had a printed list and we had to complete it all before left (or got disapproving looks if we left after an hour).. as well as vacuuming the whole building the lost said you had to dismantle the vacuum and clean and polish all the internal elements.

  Crisis of Conscience

  by Freeatlast2024 in

  2. beliefs

  this is my first time posting to this forum.

  let me start by saying i was born and raised as a jehovah’s witness.

  i’m thankful that i was raised this way, because i feel it protected me in some ways, especially with regard to moral issues.

  Now that you've read CoC, run out and get (or click on Amazon) Steven Hassan's book, "Combatting Cult Mind Control". I kept putting off reading and when I finally did, I was SHOCKED! Hassan is actually writing about his time in the Moonies, but it paints WT/JWs as though they are the Post Child of Cults.
