Unnecessary bad language

by Simon in

i've noticed a few posts where bad language is used when it is completely unecessary and detracts from the message.. please consider what your choice of words will have on other people who read the forum before you post them, especially for regular posts that are not in the adult section.. there is a time and place for anger and expletives but most regular topics are 'not it'..

hi there everyone, looking for some advice on helping my sister who is studying the bible with a jehovahs witnesses to escape.

shes been studying for over a year now and attends meetings occasionally.

i have been looking for a way to help her for a while now and the answer fell into my lap last week, during her study last week she mentioned that her son was going to a birthday party.

Good luck Ed- it's great that you are getting all this informative feedback. Here's one that helped me quite a bit on the birthdays:

Link to Golden Age 1925 prediction- primary evidence of JW cock-up on Archive.org

by Julia Orwell in

trying to convince a jw that the wt predicted 1925 is hard because they won't look at anything from 'apostate' sites.

but the american archive organisation is a disinterested organisation who publishes anything ever printed in america online for research and scholarship purposes.

they are not apostates because they publish all religious, political, judicial, legislative etc online for the public to research.

in an effort to get some help and hopefully help others, i'd like to start this thread about psychology, specifically starting with the subject of anger management.. .

what i do have, i've learned to control.

Great advice and example Billy. You've helped me several times over the last couple years with your posts.

Since Great Crowd has no mediator

by sosoconfused in

i am thinking that maybe i missed this discussion or something.

now for years in the org i never ever paid attention to the article that says jesus is the mediator for the 144000 alone.

yesterday talking to my 70+ year old dad he got violently angry with me and threw his cane at me because he said i was a liar.. .

Tech49 on HOURS, TIME, and REPORTS

by Tech49 in

i thought i would share some of my observations on counting field service time, reports, etc.

and how those reports are viewed, to those that are still so fixated on numbers.. i served as secretary on the service committee for many years, and have seen it all!.

i was really disheartened when wt changed the requirement for aux pioneering to allow for 30 hrs, instead of the 50 it has been for so long.

RayPublisher

We had one CO in particular that made me HATE being secretary...I never fudged a single # the years I did it. It didn't even occur to me that I could do that... So every CO visit from this guy, Bob Kirk was his name I think, he would bust my balls because there we a few missing numbers on some time cards.

I would call the few pubs with missing time nearly every day for two weeks before the visit and still they would not get back to me...I explained this to him, and he said, "Well it's your job to get me these numbers."

His visits sucked and made me so nervous that week it held no joy whatsoever.

Anthony Morris The 3rd Talks About Human Hot Dogs At Armageddon, There Will Be No Picnic For Survivors

by frankiespeakin in

watch out for armageddon it is going to be numbing to human sensibilities:.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=micq4iqrklm.

i guess he's thinkin jehovah's gonna roast them like a hot dogs burned to a charred ruination over a fire.

RayPublisher

It's the same as the Baptist preacher scaring his flock with threats of them burning in Hellfire...EXACTLY the same!

What a disgusting symbol-manipulator spewing rhetoric designed to shock scare and frighten his thralls into utter submission.
