Hi Kaik I have a lot of family in Sweden and Germany and they whatsapp me everyday with all kinds of things going on over there but that is almost never on the mainstream TV. What they do is wait until it goes viral on Facebook or Instagram and then they will squeeze it in the news for like 30 seconds as if it is not important at all. Downplaying is getting really scary. My aunt who lived though the DDR in east Germany said it feels like the way they controlled the media and everything was edited for the public to portray what the gov wanted you to see. Not the truth. Sounds like the JDub cult! Sanitized history. Sanitized brains. Sanitized faith. That is what I see now.

I almost died laughing at the meeting last night. OMG WTF is going on? Have I been away this long?
by macys inok so most of you guys know already that i am going through the reinstatement process for my parents but i do have a partially sinister plan which i will not mention here since someone told me that there are b-lites that read boards like this.
last night and it was the funniest experience i have ever seen.
besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke.

Anyways, I went to the C.L.A.M. last night and it was the funniest experience I have ever seen. Besides that the brother doing the sound and video screwed up the whole thing when showing the videos and it took 3 brothers to fix it after 10 minutes, the whole thing was a joke. Once they got the videos to work, I was expecting real like videos, not silhouettes!
I was thinking this was nothing but another cost savings move. Why? Because doing the syncro for the voices in 100 languages is easy. Second filming real life on a set is costly. Third even cartoons are costly to make. Cheapest way? A low resolution silhouette! It was embarrassing.Next thing they will have us close our eyes and imagine the demo in our heads!
The bible reading was just as boring. The brother doing the reading could barely read. I think he was one of those people who didn't finish school. It was that bad.
Skip the boring as hell "book study" and move on to the best part, the new song! Now I heard a few seconds of it before on YouTube but this time I really got to hear it in full. It is as if Jurassic Park and an airport calypso band made a song together! It was embarrassing but so funny I almost peed myself laughing so hard. I was in tears. I am still laughing because like a bad commercial jingle that gets stuck in your head I hear it all day long now and then the mental picture of the dancing!
This hall is very mixed, many black and spanish and they were all kind of dancing to the beat! I am not kidding. I was like WTF is going on? I got to glance around and the attendant in the back was watching them as well and he was laughing with another brother. One elder was not laughing and it looked like he was planning the next local needs part in his head, "No dancing to Kingdom Song 143" It was a circus. I was thinking the JDub cult is moving towards mainstream now as a ploy to appeal to other people.
I always found the black halls to be more "warm" and joyful than the all white ones which are more serious but this reminded me of one of those baptist churches where they all get up and start dancing and singing and praising Jesus! Next thing we will know is hand clapping and live music! Seriously not what I was expecting, but very funny in a comical way. NE ways I just had to tell you guys about my experience. I thought it was so funny. I hope they make more funny music like this!

Hey Bangalore I like TOTALLY agree with that statement!
I was always "left" or whatever you want to call on many, many issues now but have shifted to the right middle right on more topics than before. Maybe my boyfriend is having an influence on me. Maybe it is my maturity. idk really. Well whateva. All I know is that there are two issues very close to my heart right now and on both I agree with the "right" and we can not continue down the same path we are going on. We can not!
Hey parkave Boy welcome to the board in case I forgot to welcome you! Read my bio! I think we have a lot in common! Send me a pm if you feel like talking about your story.
Just wanted to tell ya that video was really upsetting to me. This topic is very close to my heart (read my posts about the Paris attacks you will know what I mean) and I am no longer supporting the Democratic party for this very reason. How can they openly support and defend letting millions of people from a religious background that HATES HATES HATES our sexual preferences into our country and expect them to fit right in nice and cozy????? WTF?! Paris, Cali, Cologne??? What is next? My BFF who lives in Hamburg said that what happened in Cologne also happened in the Hamburg train station on NYE but to a smaller extent and that she is frightened to walk alone at night now. Only a few years ago she said it was a different feeling. She said EVERYONE is talking about it and what to do about it.
Hey memphis I agree. Someone like me is very "left" on social issues like gay rights but I am very "right" on other issues. But we need to rethink the direction of this country.

Women in this Org are looking for a Father Figure
by xjwsrock inthis is a rant mainly in response to my wife's reaction to the stupid clam meeting last night.
bear in mind, while i am not sexist, i am also not politically correct.
.... it is no secret that the women in this organization outnumber the men.

As a woman I never needed to have that father figure feeling of safety. But I guess that is cause I am young! -

I have a lot of family in Germany and they are very anti-JDub so whenever something like this comes out they send me an email or whatsapp message so what you posted must be quite common cause there is a JDub old age home in northern Germany near Travemunde run by a JDub family. Anyways my one cousin knows a JDub that works there and she said that they are making so much money it is crazy! And by law they have to accept other religions but they make it more difficult for them so they don't like to stay because then they are preached to. Says it is a kinda scammy how they do it and they do not treat them well. Then again sounds like every old age home I have ever known myself! -

I miss my family so much. I thought I was over it but I have breakdowns every few months thinking about my family
by macys inas most of you know i have been shunned by my family for 2 years because of a photo posted on facebook of me kissing another girl at a party.
the matter was not dealt with fairly but it is over now and i am 100% certain that jdub org is a cult.
but i miss my family so much.

Hey clambake all good points I am definitely aware of! :) I doubt I will even be there for more than the first or second memorial after I am reinstated. I will simply tell them I have to take care of my sick elderly father (wink wink Geoffry Jackson) and can not stay too long here. But I will put in my time as average time which is what now? 10 hours? Yeah, they deserve nothing but lies. I am still going to college so I will do my homework there. -

Finally heard a Dub defend overlapping generations
by Socrateswannabe insince the overlapping generations doctrine was introduced, i have found the jws i know to be uncharacteristically silent on the subject.
i can't remember hearing a single dub try to defend this idiocy.
but that all ended recently.
