" with regard to elder paedophiles in the news all over the place, Did God and his Holy Spirit know that an elder or MS would turn bad and choose them anyway?"

"If not what use is the Holy Spirit! If yes, it makes the HS and God responsible for the feelings of those stumbled by criminal and sexual/violent crimes committed by those people. it makes the HS responsible mass disgust at such activity."

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!

by EndofMysteries in

.

after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.

i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

I don't think it is a nod to apostates, menial work and poor wage has become a normality for JW's, this is how far from reality the org and it's members have become.

Ambition and career aspiration are actually dirty words to JW's. So, so, so, so brainwashed! In reality, this kind of image and article is an indicator for how irrelevant and harmful the bible and religions are to society, nothing to be celebrated. Knowing this, the org brainwashes further by cheering on poverty and menial work.

AAWA activists burst into a Kingdom Hall in Kent!

Not the best approach, but we have to remember how it felt when we left, sometimes this may seem like a good idea for no other reason than self healing and misguided urge to shout what we now know, to non violently and legally retaliate.

Don't misunderstand me, it would not be a method I would use, but let's not be so judgmental, there is no right or wrong here, just opinion.

I must add that a friend of my family that I highly respected as a JW, spoke from the platform about his true views, I was told he spoke as an apostate in a meeting, I can't lie, that contributed to the many reasons that led me to one day leave. Seeing people outiside the assembly hall, people without horns or demonic eyes (mostly) helped re-humanise apostates for me.

So it isn't all bad, but not the best methods used.

How and why?

once upon a time, there was a world in flux, undergoing change and diversity at an imperceptible pace.

only with hindsight was it possible to catalogue the various paths being born that led to a word and humanity so very different one hundred years later than compared to any time in the homo sapiens past.. technology, warfare, the universe, the discovery of atoms... born in stars, all things forced upon the fragile minds of mortals in a short period of time.. these overwhelming changes led to the birth of many things, including comforts and hopes that were far to readily available to grasp ahold of.

as the founders of these comforts could not themselves grasp the world they found the self in, they sought the worlds they knew, the past, 4000 years in the past......the technicalities and truths were to be ironed out at another time, a time never reached.. some had no choice in the matter, the grasping was done by their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents.....when the time came for personal analysis, not only had they inherited comfort but great, great fears.

Exactly,

It is as easy as making a desicion, it's not even difficult if you are honest, its's just a big one!

Despite what they would have you believe, the sky does not fall onto your head when you decide to simply question what you have been told. Though, in honesty, your life will never be the same again.

Anonymous JW readers out there, sound a little scary? Ask yourself why? It shouldn't be scary at all......if it is all true.

Couldn't agree more, once you decide truth. It is ironically very comforting, but it is only something experienced when you cross the threshold of letting go the living forever on a paradise earth, on someone else's land at the expense of your God murdering everyone alive on earth...

Technology, warfare, the universe, the discovery of atoms... born in stars, all things forced upon the fragile minds of mortals in a short period of time.

As the founders of these comforts could not themselves grasp the world they found the self in, they sought the worlds they knew, the past, 4000 years in the past……the technicalities and truths were to be ironed out at another time, a time never reached.

Some had no choice in the matter, the grasping was done by their parents, their grandparents, their great grandparents…..when the time came for personal analysis, not only had they inherited comfort but great, great fears. They found they had lost not only freedom of thought and question but also autonomy itself, the most valuable token gifted to humans. After decades being disconnected from reality, we had questionable capacity remaining.

The world had changed and some do not like change, though some thrive on it, strive for further change. Hence the movements born out of fear and xenophobic ignorance, as the knowing stood the other side of the fence of the unknowing.

But now we move toward a new era, where the unknowing and the knowing merge. An age of information where all are free to seek knowledge and all knowledge is seek-able and free, not even requiring a voluntary donation.

This, the most considerable of all the changes born out in this short time, for with this knowledge comes reality. The untruthful comforts and hopes born out of fear and feeling ‘no part of the world’ specifically the real world, have to be equated with the reality. Now anyone can seek out information and truth and here lies the current dilemma of many in mankind….

Truth or comfort?

And this is how one movement born out of the fears and passions of a confused linen salesman leaves several million confused souls, one hundred years on….

At This Point In Time Would You Ever Subject Yourself To A Judicial Committee?

i certainly wouldn't.

and if the elders wanted to have a meeting with me, i would respectfully decline.

if the elders wanted to deal with you, would you talk with them?.

snare&racket

It would be like two uneducated, inexperienced Middle aged men from the local town wanting to come discuss your personal life with you then tell you their judgment of your life actions.... Ermm go f*$k yourself....

Seriously these guys don't know the bible, don't know the doctrines, don't know science, don't know law, don't know medicine....

They only know the elders book. What value do they have to anyone but the organisation they serve?

Another subliminal picture in the WT!!!!

by DATA-DOG in

i just happend to wonder if the current issue had any hidden goodies.

imagine my delight!.

a gold star to the first person to correctly identify the image!.

snare&racket

Btw....... i truly belle there is NO subliminal images, just poor artists and the odd possible artist adjustment for their own fun e.g. The songbook hand, the face in the dress Etc, there is nothing subliminal about a face in a dress, it's just dumb.
