  What a load of BULLSHIT! Total indoctrination. I will say this though the elders ive been around for the last 10 years most certainly do believe themselves to be princes. Hence why they will never wash the feet of the rank & file.

  Impressions of the Governing Body; who's smart, who ain't?

  based on what we've seen, it seems to me that of the seven, splane and jackson are the smartest; herd, lett and morris the least intelligent; and sanderson and losch somewhere in the middle.

  .

  what's your impression?.

  I agree with Divergent about steven let, I watched his delivery on how the Borg doesn't have a pede problem 100`s of times over, every movement in his face, licking his lips, nodding his head, his eye movements & direction. He knew 100% that he was misleading/lying. He`s the one I think they would throw to the wolfs.

  Matt, Geff Jackson looked smug when in front of the RC, I wished someone could have smacked him straight round his face. His whole attitude was "you cant touch me & I know", nothing but pure arrogance.

  As far as the group one of them is a psychopath, who is manipulating the others. Has to be because they are becoming more cult like every day & it will most lightly be the one we least expect. They are constantly changing which allows this type of individual to hide their manipulative personality in full sight, they have the opportunity to exert power & control over the others & the resources. His ability to get others around him to do things is often of more importance than his intellectual ability. Well that is my opinion anyway.

  2016 Calendar: Give us more money!

  by wifibandit in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just got a peak at the 2016 calendar and i cannot tell you how much it bothered me.

  it's all about constructing new kh and assembly halls, which is completely ironic given that the construction stopped almost worldwide.obviously this is proof that the borg is shifting from a magazine publisher to a real estate conglomerate, no wonder they're getting rid of 12 issues of magazines all together.. now, while the pdf of this is not up on the site yet, i will post confirmation as soon as it becomes available.

  weather that is by legitimate means or other wise..

  I tell you what I think they are doing. Getting rid of a load of Bethelites doing up there rooms, ready to offer holiday accommodation to JW`s . They got all the facilities there ready to go. If it`s all done on a gift of money or you pay via the congregation & go through the elders so it get`s sent as a donation, that`s the loop hole to get out of calling it a motel. Only those who are pioneers/ Ms/ elders, get the privilege, who is going to question it. It`s makes sound business sense to me, it would be a real money spinner. & everyone will say see how loving our brothers are to the one`s who have made so many sacrifices to serve the congregations, they have made sure they can afford to have a holiday. The one`s working there will still be doing so voluntarily serving their bro`s & sister`s. Bloody hell it`s perfect. I bet you that`s the road they go down.

  i don't know what to do.... i married last year and things have been very rocky.

  we dated for 4 years and did have normal issues but always had a lingering doubt something was just not right in our relationship-behavior to be more specific, he is not a jw, but i am.

  yes i know i married outside the "lord" but after my first marriage to a jw ended in divorce for physical abuse, i was glad i didn't married another jw.

  @cappytan, What is OP?, & also I think that there are some who just go through the forum pressing the dislike button to stir things up for people, just ignore it.

  What other Shenanigans can we expect to see in the next 2 years?

  by John Aquila in

  its been a little over 2 years since i left the watchtower.

  in that time the magazines have been cut, the birth of jwtv, jw-org.

  carts for preaching, removed district overseers, cut assemblies, demand all the money from the congregations, stop construction and layoff bethelites, change the format of the tmschool .

  1fingersalute, I am so sorry they did that to you, I don't know why it still surprises me but it does. There was a young sister D in the cong I was in, I got up to go to the ladies, saw her looking sad & down so as I walked past I winked bent down & squeezed her arm. Her mum told me down the line that she went out to her car & sobbed cause she thought nobody cared bout her. I would have said something to that elder in your defense had I been at that meeting, discipline is one thing cruelty is quite something else. I have been D`d myself I was never treated this way, I was sure of my brother`s & sister`s, that they cared about what happened to me. But the one`s I`m surrounded by now BASTARDS! wouldn't call an ambulance if your were run down in front of them. I am coming to the conclusion that JW love to hate people. I think a lot of the old ones who came under the influence of Ray Franz had a kindness that is lacking in the lot we have today. Hug for you.

  Super JW Cart

  i have a confession to make.

  a strange urge is building in my brain... each time i see a jw literature cart on the street it builds.

  it is becoming a stronger and stronger thought in my mind.

  I think your all being incredibly mean running away with their cart`s, spilling things on the literature, taking the books & placing them in bin`s. We should think of something that is more christian, like PETROL & a MATCH.

  Khaleesi, it is so nice to have you join us. WoW! what a 1st thread you`ve written here. 1st I`d like to say you are very brave to speak of such a personal issue & I think alittle anxious yourself. To be truthful I believe you maybe blowing this a little out of proportion, 80% of married women don't have a fulfilling sex life & the average couple have sex once a month, so the fact that you are getting it 2-4 times is way above the average. Also you mentioned at the beginning that he was having trouble finding a job, this can have a real devastating effect on a mans self- confidence most men are wired with a need to provide for their spouse especially if they have grown up with old fashioned principles when they feel that they are not doing this in a satisfactory way( in a way they are happy with) then yes it absolutely can have a profound impact on their bedroom performance & in other areas of intimacy. Calm yourself down, most men would never dream of going to the doctor`s to talk bout this, he will, sounds like you got a good man there don't be so quick to throw it away. You talked to his MUM about his inability to perform, I`m sorry but I have to say it THAT IS WRONG, put yourself in his shoe`s, how would you feel if your dad came to you & said "so your husband tell`s me you don't orgasm during sex, well my girl you better do something about that God say`s you should". I`m not meaning to be a cow, I just want you to see it from another perspective, HIS. Also you may need to look at your own issues here, you said you were in a abusive marriage 1st time round, so I`m guessing you are alittle insecure right. Sometimes us girls when we`ve been shown WRONGLY that we are not loveable we find it easy to shower some-one with love but cant quite except that they love us back just the way we are. So intimacy & sex becomes our way of allowing our man to love us back, & we need a lot of loving to make up for all the love we imagine we are missing out on. I don't know if this is hitting the spot, if it is then I would say it`s 6 of 1 & half a dozen of the other. The thing is you can work it out together if YOU BOTH want to. Your marriage the 1st time was not nice your second can be great, however I promise you it will not be perfect. Hope this help`s. SABIN.
