  Index of acronyms : help for new forumers

  by Mary J Blige in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am finding a whole lot of acronyms that are really foreign to me and i now have an appreciation for what cult language sounds like to non-culters.

  wondering please if you can post your definitions so i can get up to speed.

  otherwise, as an indoctrinated ex-culter, i am inclined to create my own new light and swiftly it will be gospel.

  Maybe Simon could make this a sticky so newbies could see it readily?

  Hi Funchback,

  Nice to meet you! Lots of us have been talking about the pinkie rings and there has also been some discussion about certain watches as well as suits also.

  Heres something you may remember from years past that seems to fit the Governing Body of today...

  Splane and Morris Should Thank Raymond Franz, Their Organizational Father

  by Hold Me-Thrill Me in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the whole elder body teaching and governing body teaching was based on research by a well known "apostate" raymond franz.

  franz wrote the aid book articles which gave rise to the changes made in the congregations and bethel.

  knorr was deposed by the johnny come lately new governing body members who in turn gave birth to those in charge today.

  Well, they got rid of the AID book by copy/pasting the best parts and adding a "so then" and a "therefore we see" in a few places and calling it the Insight book.

  Thus enabling themselves to think they can still have talent in their writing department but we know better....

  Wow! You're right, but I think the WT version is way more dangerous than Harry Potter!
  

  and way less successful at drawing a fan base.

  CalebInFloroda2 hours agoOh Faye, you can't hide gay! (Ooo, that rhymes!) You can only dish what you see!
  Never apologize for speaking your truth, especially when when the totally apparent bitch-slaps you in the face and a purse falls out of a man's mouth. There were so many times in the Kingdom Hall I would see elders walk up to the platform to give a talk and my insides were just screaming to call out: "Mary! Has your wife seen how you walk?"

  You sound like such an awesome person!

  I look forward to getting to know you more here on the board.

  Convention Before Op

  by disillusioned 2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mum today was told that she urgently needs a pacemaker.

  the doctor said he would push this through as quickly as possible.. my mum was more concerned about it clashing with her convention!

  she told me she would rather leave the op till after the convention even though the doctor said it was urgent.

  sigh...that has to drive you crazy!

  For a lot of the older JW women that is the highlight of their year socially and spiritually and its hard to budge them.

  When does the Dr suggest and when is the assembly? The two times may line up ok?

  I hope so.
