we thought we had heard all the stupid things printed by watchtower thru the history.
nope!
this one takes the cake and gets the applause!!!.
the pattern of behavior is just as vile today as it was back then.......disagree with anything the watchtower does or teaches you get cast out and shunned
they keep the same pattern as Rutherford started which is one of the few things that remains from the Rutherford era

The thing I would add about Rutherford regarding anything he said would be the clip from the Faith in Action DVD where Rutherford was berated for hours and then those who did the berating were cast out of the WT and shunned...we can assume correctly these associates of Rutherford knew what a crackhead he was...brought it to his attention and since he was the head cheese..got rid of them...NOW that Rutherford is dead and rotting. .WT can abandon everything he taught and believed ONLY because the self proclaimed ASS is dead...

your brothers,.
No one will dare come shepherd my inactive ass...last time I had a "shepherding visit" it ended with me filing a harassment complaint with the local PD....plus our COBE is a slacker in this department...all him and his family are concerned with is counting time and being self righteous...treating others in the KH who they don't approve of like complete shit
i recently got an unsolicited lecture from a well-intentioned but nevertheless misguided jw friend.
the gist of it was that i needed to go to all the meetings or i would miss out on "everlasting life.".
i responded that i do not need to go to meetings to have a relationship with god.
Once again it is the JW / WT hypocrisy at work here because it is actually THEM who forsake the gathering together with one who is "weak" or "lost" or "inactive"...they will seek out associates who are by appearances "spiritual" .....they actually withdraw from ones who actually may need the gathering the most....
this went bad, i hit click before i could post my thoughts about the fear factor going through our crazy kingdom hall.
the title of this thread was aimed at asking why the governing body is becoming so afraid and demanding the elders and rank and file to put their trust in the dukes of the kingdom hall.

if you were a lady and you were 55 and had $5,000 or less to spend on a used car, what would buy?
top concerns: good mpg; reliable; in not having major issues like ball joints breaking, timing belts breaking, etc.
not too expensive to maintain.
No Cadillac either....the perfect cheap reliable easy to fix 4wd vehicle is a chevy blazer....tons of them made...4.3 v6 is bulletproof..and for five grand you can get a hell of a nice one that will look and drive like new...just buy an adult driven one

I used to be in car repair and was once a certified master auto tech...my advise?
Do not buy a used audi ..volvo...bmw...saab...pick a car that has been in production a long time...a car that has sold to millions of buyers....reason? Parts to repair are plentiful...cheaper....and mechanics have more experience with cars they see alot meaning less chance for errors while fixing..
Dont buy anything supercharged...turbo..all wheel drive...4 wheel drive is ok...the above mentioned cars will have you in the poor house when they need repairs

my husband on his own went out and got fireworks for our daughter and her friend to set off tonight.
he did this with no prompting at all from me.
in fact, i get nervious around fireworks, so i grimiced a bit when he told me.. but, wow, again, if this is another step showing he is not allowing himself under the complete spell of the wt.
Celebrating anything fun is wrong because the WT wants everyone who is being stepped on by them to be miserable
i could go on and on about my personal journey over the last 2 years or so, but i don't need to.
everything i needed to hear to finally lay my doubts to rest happened on one meeting night.
it could only be divine providence.
So let me get this straight...jewhovah confused the minds of those building the tower of babel so they couldn't communicate...
Now jewhovah is powerless to reverse what he did back then but can help to make a print system that makes communication possible thru printing in many languages....
So all the printing of publications by the MEPS system that have been disposed of due to predictions gone awry and doctrine flops has been used to publish...OLD LIGHT!
I wonder how many trees have died to be used to publish "old light"
one fb friend posted the faq link about "why dont jw's celebrate xmas?
" after reading the link i concluded that it is either another collossal lie the wt is telling, or it is now ok to celebrate x-mas!.
from jw.org faq:.
It would be more honest to just say JWs don't celebrate xmas because they will be disfellowshiped if they do.
Honest and to the point.
