Of course they fear the truth. They have prohibited the members not to read anything negative about the WT. Instead of engaging in dialogue and discussing matters, they just tell the members everything is a lie from immoral proud apostates. The truth has nothing to fear or hide. They are hypocrates as they are happy to publish experiences where a priest or pastor tells its members not to read WT literature. They use that as basis to say they have the truth & churches dont want to lose members. Yet they do the same!

Does The Governing Body Fear Worldwide Exposure Of Their Delusional Bible Interpetations?
by frankiespeakin ini think in the deeper recesses of their minds they know that soon they will be loosing this battle and that some video on youtube will go viral bringing them shame and exposure.. the way i see it, this battle is just starting and is going to get much worse in the future, they are multiplying the number of people willing to expose them by their cruel practice of disfellowshipping used as a form of information control.. people who are waking up to the governing body's deceptions are growing in numbers all the time, and what starts out as a trickle of people leaving can become a flood in time which seems very likely.
as the numbers become greater and greater the more worried they should be, and this is seen in their more merciless treatment of those who no longer beleive their crap, they are willing to do what ever it takes to keep the rank and file in darkness and under their control.
it all spells desparation to me.. .

Your friend needs to call the police & write the branch. Also call problem solvers or the local news station. Evil wins when good people do nothing.

Hypocritical comments by JWs regarding the Catholic Church in light of the new Pope.
by Theocratic Sedition ini'm curious, what can you expect to hear from jws this week?
or have you heard anything already.
since awakening, i find it to be hilarious when jws badmouth catholics and the pope but are completely oblivious to how hypocritical they are considering the gb and other wt heavyweights..

Our P.O. made a comment while conducting the book study that the Catholics shouldnt need a Pope to lead them if they truly followed the Bible. The Bible alone should be enough and not an imperfect man. I wondered that anyone who really beleives that is completely stupid as JWs doctrines, polices, procedures are dictated by the GB and not from the Bible. Its amazing how JWs dont use their thinking abilities. I cant believe how I use to accept everything from the GB as if it was from God.

All of Bethel Know About The Child Molestation Law Suits: And The Governing Body Is Looking Very Bad In Most Bethlites Eyes I'm Willing To Bet
by frankiespeakin inok we had the silent lambs march years ago right there at head quarter over this issue, don't you think that caused a lot of gossip, and expose on a big abc network called 20/20, and many in europe, canada, all about how bad the governing body's policies are on children.. now we have out of court settlements with victims with a gag order, conti big case, and many more.
so i would think everyone at bethel knows about the governing body's mishandleling of these matters.. i'm sure this, a long with the big new light about the governing body alone make of the faithful slave are causing many a lot of irritation and so are seeing these guys now in a different light..

Unfortunately Bethelites are extremely sheltered from any negative facts about the WT. I was there 6 yrs and never knew about Olin Moyle lawsuit, Beth Sarim, Leo Greenlees pedophilia etc. Most JWs are conditioned to avoid critical thinking and life away from being a JW is to be on Satans side even if the facts prove they are outright liars and false prophets. Also consider that leaving the WT means losing family, friends, marriage and the special feeling of being important.

Evil Elderettes, the true Hounds of Hell!
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inmy wife was told a brother was going to be disfellowshiped, "how do you know this is going to happen?
" sister so-so said "he was not repentant or humble to the brother's kindness.
" instead of engaging into a heated debate, she knew who the leak was, so-so's husband.

The way to stop those elderettes is by confronting them and apply the 3 step process outlined in Matt 18:15-17. The OD book p. 147-150 approves of this when you're a victim of slander or negative gossip. Remain calm and talk about the matter. If they deny saying anything (most likely) tell them you will bring a witness and meet another time. This will scare the crap out of them and their elder hubby. Remain calm, do not say or do anything that will cloud the issue andgive them ammo to use against you. Slanderers in the Congs know that almost no one will confront them and thus enjoy abusing others.

Temporary Special Pioneer Assignment...?
by goatshapeddemon inmembers of my extended family were recently given a temporary special pioneer assignment as a result of the bible school for christian couples (vomit).. anyone got details on how this works?
why temporary?
is it a testing ground for circuit work or a "we dont want you on our payroll for good so we'll use up what you have to offer and dump you back into reg pio status when this definitely not-cushy assignment is over"?.

A couple from the new school were assigned to a foreign language congregation in our area and the Congregation has been providing them with food and housing. The branch imposes on the locals to support those brothers financially. They criticize you for running your business and getting an education but they are more than happy to benefit from your work.

Special Pioneer hours is 130 a month. I have been told by SP themselves that the branch now tells them to work at least 2 days a week to complement their stipend. The society has cut the monthly stipend by 20% according to my sources. This reduction is for central america. I dont know if they did the same for the U.S. A couple from the b

Assembly Talks... Are these assigned based on the thickness of the envelope?
by Calebs Airplane infrom talking to several fading jws over the years, it really does appear that assembly talk assignments are usually given to those pos who consistently hand over the thickest envelopes to the co at the end of his week-long visits.
if the envelope was too thin (or there was no enevelope at all), chances are that no one in that congo would get an assemby talk assighnment.
also, if the co and his wife were treated well or taken to expensive restaurants during their visit, that apparently increased the po's chances of getting an assembly talk assignment.

The C.O. assigns the speakers for the SAD and2 day circuit assembly. The branch assigns the speakers for the 3 day convention. I completely agree that green handshakes will not get you speaking assignments. It would be too obvious and the DO or bethel speaker would catch on quickly. In 2007 they started an arrangement where the COBE, school overseer, and the auxiliary couselor would grade elders in their Congregation from a-d in different speech qualities along with comments about family etc. Then that would be sent to the CO who in turn send to the branch.

I have to admit that this thread got me upset for reminding me how I should've gotten an education and learned practical skills at an early age instead of my 40's.

I pioneered 20 yrs beleiving that all material needs would be provided. I got tired of always not having enough for a decent car, vacation, decent clothes and money to help out elderly parents. I finally realized that I srewed myself for believing that baloney that you just need to peddle literature and not worry about aquiring any practical skills. Ihave no one to blame but myself for being too naive. I now run my own construction business after realizing I dont want to be a useless, ignorant ,unskilled peddler.God gave us a brain and expcts us to use it by getting an education and learning a trade or skills to support yourself in a decent manner and not depending on miracles to eat.
