having endured three days of dashing attempts at further indoctrination, i feel the need to write up some of the stuff i left with.
it is just good therapy.. right away the change was noticeable in the air.
the assembly hall in la feria, tx still smells like new.

i've been doing a lot of research about mind control, cults etc which led me to look into the world and beliefs of mormons.
the similarities between jw's and mormons are staggering!
it's almost a carbon copy which only a few differences.. did the jw's set out to copy them i wonder?
Steve, dont they also have their version of Caleb and Sophia and wasnt theirs put out first?
Seems like we had a thread all about that last year?
personally i think this is wonderful.
i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.
a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

Now everyone is going to get to use everyone insurance plans and be entitled to each other pensions because they had sex with each other ?
Well lets reverse that thought and see what we have....
should two people who have worked at jobs for 20 or 30 years not be able to have their pension work the same way as anyone elses?
Shouldnt what happens with a pension be based on years worked paying in to the system itself and not on type of genitalia?
Is that "more/less" fair?

And lets not forget the 7th Day Adventists,
which cousin are they? :blush:
am3rd life story is in may 15th 2015 study wt.. after reading, he sounds very mental unstable.
i know you guys will be saying "yeah, obviously he is"...but we don't have any concrete evidence saying he has a mental condition.. has anyone ever dug a little deeper, perhaps try to find some people who would have known him from the army?
i mean, he probably doesn't know that many people, he was only serving for a year for christs sake.
campaign of hate.
Also, from baptism (1971) to GB appointment (2005) it took him 34 years to rise to the top. That is an alarmingly short period of time for a convert who was 21 at his baptism.
He must have licked some serious ass to rise that quick.
Isnt he the one from a rich family? Maybe that had something to do with it.
Most people hate Mondays...
I bet your loving this one Startrek!
Its over!!!!!!!!!!!
so ofs was at the wt this morning, and on par.
14 the question was, "what trust can a faithful christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have?".
after awhile when no one else raised their hands ofs did, and was called on.. ofs commented, "one of jw can have the trust that god will lovingly give them the ability to uphold the disfellowshipping arrangement by totally shunning family members.".
You are very brave!
Glad to know that is on the website - I avoid that place.
So obviously I am not the only one who didnt know that the word shunned is used on the site.
How embarrassing for your counselor.
He didnt know till you showed him....the information merry go round that is the Org is spinning faster and faster
would you consider the members of the governing body of jw's to be in black magicians in the modern world?
for your consideration their effects in society.. 6.2 black magic spells.
in black magic, the priests cast spells: they recite formulas, conduct rituals, make magic items.
Dogpatch,
I would also really value your thoughts on the thread vidiot mentioned.
a sister came by my house today.
not to see how i was or why i have not been to meetings for the past months - she needed to borrow some money for the upcoming convention.
we chatted a little, and i cound not keep my mouth shut about some questions i have and some discoveries i made about the doctrine.
wow paradisebeauty. That is the opposite of what the Boreans were commended for isnt it?
this interview was posted april 16, 2015 on youtube.
lorenz reibling's replies to the reporter in argentina are in english.. lorenz reibling is intimately connected to the watchtower society and, according to some sources, is a jw himself.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ssa-9yvii.
so who is lorenz reibling?
Fascinating.
I dont want in any way to throw this thread off its track but we have been wondering for a long time who the real movers and shakers are behind the Governing Body.
I think OrphanCrow is showing us one of them.
