Apostates At War With Jehovah's Delusional Organization Strategy

by frankiespeakin in

as the "truth about the truth' (delusional thinking bible interpetations) becomes more wide spread and the rate of jws leaving the clutches of the wt corporation increases a war/battle results, it is true some are just happy to get out with no need to inflict any retaliatorial injury to the corporation that held them hostage through deciet.

many on the other hand want to get their families out of this cult and a restoration of their good name from the cruel slander of an organization that has made a fortune off of their free labor and now forbids it members to have anything to do with them causing a great loss in former friends and family members.

is retailiation in order for these offenses?

JWStruggle post: Bethel Layoffs Reveal a Kingdom without Clothes

http://www.jwstruggle.com/2013/07/bethel-layoffs-reveal-a-kingdom-without-clothes/.

despite everything, i still have a lingering admiration toward those who serve or have served in bethel.

it is not that i believe it is gods organization in any way, shape, or form.

That's the point Bangalore- The downsizing of Bethelites shows that the WT Corp is like most (if not all) big companies, protecting their bottom line at all costs.

Your views and ideas on forum areas and organization?

by Simon in

this may come as a shock to some people, but the current forum structure was kind of thrown together without much real thought and then evolved a bit over time.

there are a few things that particularly grate on me and areas where i don't think the subjects work particularly well.

'friends' is a bit vague and becomes a dumping ground, news & world events vs politics & current affairs is hard to decide sometimes, child abuse is a scandal but isn't contained withing 'scandals & coverups' etc.... with a new forum platform imminent, it's a good time to solicit ideas to improve things.

Yet Another secretly recorded Judicial Meeting for you...

by RayPublisher in

yet another secretly recorded judicial committee hearing...the hero of this story is rachel... this brave and funny kiwi lady stands up to the local elders and goes through this scary situation with grace and logic and so much class!.

bravo to her husband who comes along to support her and her goal is to awaken and perhaps reach the hearts of these men that are poised to spiritually execute her.

this goes right against the false label applied to so-called apostates by the wt society that they are insincere, slanderous people out to hurt the faith of others.. listen to the story unfold as rachel boldly shares her research and her conscience with these men.

It underlines to me how odd and unantural these tribunals are. The elders (for the most part) don't enjoy doing these and just want to get out of there, and are winging it as they go.

I see both sides on this one. When I was at Bethel there were many that were kind and sincere. However I saw a lot of snide, entitled Bethel people with no training or education that were running their little fiefdom and giving their cronies pictures on the cover of the mags and cushy jobs in the office...

And some were very disdainful of the lowly publishers.

Great article Londo- The WT once again shows itself to be like any other corporation, concerned with the bottom line and saving money. The people are grist for the WT mill and hence disposable.
