Apostacitis
by Rufus T. Firefly inapostacitis is a term denoting a condition with which the watchtower society has become thoroughly infected, particularly since the year 1981 when sincere christians who merely resigned from the organization over principled differences in belief became viewed the same as unrepentant wrongdoers (1 cor.
5:11) and as those rejecting the good news about the christ (2 john 9-11).
there was a time when news of one becoming an apostate was so rare among witnesses that it sent shockwaves throughout the organization.

Another elder came and told me I'm not an apostate and no-one can judge me.
by Julia Orwell ini'll call him bear, like teddy bear because he's big and nice.
bear's the coboe, an intelligent but jittery man who suffers from a host of anxiety disorders.
he 'just happened' to be driving down my street after the group, and 'just happened' to notice i was at home, tending to some animals.

So if Russell was the "greater" John the Baptist paving the way for the GB...
by goatshapeddemon in... what does that make the "governing body"????????.
wait for it....... yes, the greater jesus.
they stopped short of saying that in the july 15 wt (all they said was that russell was the greater john the baptist), but what other conclusion is there, especially since now they're going to rule with jesus over the messianic kingdom.. talk about a messiah complex.

Scary - yes, very brazen indeed.

We Are Telling You. You Cannot Go To University! Why? Because You Are A Drone!
by LoisLane looking for Superman inthe governing body members do not want anyone to have "higher" education, unless, as we all know, it benefits them.
lol.
to keep millions of people, under educated, under fulfilled, strictly obedient to them, makes jehovah's witnesses, easier to manipulate, easier to handle, easier to make into drones.. wake up people!.

My dad was axed because he let us go to college. I don't think I'll ever "get over" that little gem of a teaching.
At least we GOT an education though!

I heard Jehovah's Witnesses were the first ones on the scene in Boston providing assistance.
by Theocratic Sedition inyou know those articles from the wt are coming, along with emails from jw friends and family.
all the shameless self-attaboys, and fictitious observations by non-jws remarking on how jws provided the most and best assistance to the victims..

JWs don't run marathons. Too much time away from service spent training.

Governing Body Hates Higher Education Because It Destroys Their Delusion
by frankiespeakin inin an effort to keep their delusion alive it is only natural for them hate something that lifts the vails of their delusion and lay it barren.
their hate is transfered to the faithful rank and file and manifested in their forbidding it to the young who will surely see the ignorance of their delusion.
narcissistic delusions of divine appointment are resisted at the expense of the young.. they hate higher education to the same extent they hate psychiatry because both tread on their delusion and identify it in clear terms..

This subject nauseates me.
It's fear, plain and simple. Their cultishness is exposed at university.
You can't be a good, honest student in college and NOT start to question things.

Anyone know why Will Gorham was taken off the road?
by goatshapeddemon inthey were a great co couple (he wasn't much of a speaker but...).
heard awhile back they were removed from the circuit work.
curious why..

goatshapeddemon
Humbled, I'm glad you shared your experience. It reaffirms what I believed to be tue about them.
I wish someone on here knew what happened. Apparently after everything happened to my dad, Bro Gorham called a couple times but at the time, we thought they were just calling to save us... And we don't want no saving.
My dad said he'd try to find out what their number / address was.

The Only True Doctor A Parable
by goatshapeddemon ina friend of mine recently found out a few years back that she had an aggressive form of breast cancer.
she went to many doctors, but all of them told her she had to have a mastectomy and undergo radiation therapy.
that seemed really unappealing to her.

Thanks, TFC. I came up with it in the shower last night and quickly ran upstairs and typed it up. I started with "the one true pizzeria" but that didn't seem serious enough. I hate what this org does to people... While pretending they're really helping. *sigh*
