  i've been on this board for years.

  99% of the posters here i do not personally know.

  a few, maybe not so much...lol..... do posters here get you upset to the point that you really don't like them?

  A "Simple Life": Who's Footing the Bill?

  by thebrokenkite in

  after much lurking and even sporadic posting under an alias account, i've decided to come out of the "apostate" shadows.

  this month marks my 1-year disfellowshipping anniversary.

  it's been a long, arduous journey, one that nearly took my life.

  This is a great topic to discuss.

  The fearless leader of the JWs here locally (COBE) gets disability and is not disabled in the least. His wife worked tirelessly at the paperwork and hoop jumping required for years and finally got herself and her husband a nice check coming each month for them both, along with free health care.

  just to get others opinions and experiences.

  out of everyone in the jw organization, how many do you think never get caught doing a "gross sin "?

  and how many do you think actually get caught?

  I would say at least 50% KNOW they have done something considered "elder worthy" but dont tell.

  Most of that is young couples about to be married.

  I think the number I gave is a conservative one.

  JUNE 2017 Watchtower - Lost a loved one? Go out in service!

  by pale.emperor in

  apparently going to the kingdom hall and getting out in the door to door ministry is the best way to get over the loss of a loved one.

  who'dve thunk it?.

  Hi dub,

  I read that they did that here on a thread somewhere a few years ago.

  So I started watching for it.

  I got my mind blown too...

  Of course it was a short trip for me...I didnt even know they made those names and experiences up until I read here. I thought they were real.

  It does the same thing that volunteering does.

  It gets you out of the house and thinking of others.

  It is no more or no less (although I could argue it is less lol)

  But the Org would NEVER say you should volunteer for any group in the community except theirs.

  The number of translations boast

  by Just stopping by in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just stopping by to share this... .

  after seeing a watchtower representative paste the same thing over and over, about jw.org being available in 850 languages.... we all know how the watchtower loves to boast about the number of languages it translates into.

  what are the facts?

  I am not sure no-zombie but I think I remember someone on a thread talking about partnerships in some countries to help preserve indigenous dialects by use of publications in those languages and the Orgs attempt to provide materials to the few who still use the nearly extinct languages?

  It seems (if memory serves) the Org was getting some funding or grants provided by government sources in this attempt?

  If that is so, that information is the kind of thing the Org would have kept as secret as it could but once it made its way on to "apostate" websites, they would have jumped to get ahead of it and put out their statement about it.

  Funny how you can see the subtle (or not so subtle but somewhat pathetic actually) tools being used to steer your thinking about what you are reading...

  In this little section Pale provided, I noticed that they named the modern day concerned "sister" Ann.

  A way for the article writers to help underscore their attempt to identify the biblical Hannah with their fictitious "Ann" in the readers mind.

  When I saw the girl being helped was named "Paula" I left off reading looking for some mention of Paul and BAM. Yep theres the reference to Paul. LOL

  When you are swimming along in your stream of consciousness like an unsuspecting little guppy just gulping in the water and happy to be there (this is my analogy of myself when I used to attend meetings) you dont notice all the little "tie ins" and cross overs they are throwing at you.

  But your subconscious does and it feels "satisfied" and "convinced" when all the little subtleties all mesh. When all the little threads get tied in to a nice neat package complete with a bow on top!

  This MUST be the truth! Look how good it feels and it all worked out!

  (Notice how "Paulas" mom even came back? Could "Paulas" life have possibly be any better????)

  I also thought it was funny that in the last paragraph on the right column, they encourage you to study with other peoples children in a public place so others cant "misconstrue" what you are doing.

  Like when the congregation pedophile is molesting the children?

  Ok! Way to spit on your forest fire there ORG.

  Good going!
