We should all emulate the Watchtower in this regard: find better accomodations for yourselves NOW, because it might be handy "after Armageddon." (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

WATCHTOWER BUILDING PROJECTS REVEAL HYPOCRISY ABOUT STRESSING URGENCY OF PREACHING WORK
by steve2 inbased on a letter elders in the united states have just received in the past week from the governing body, work on the warwick complex will take " a few years" to complete.
concurrent with this, the organization urges the rank and file to urgently preach the "good news of the kingdom" because we are so deep into the end.
so, why bother with the warwick project - or indeed the just advised project in the united kingdom to relocate the london bethel?

I'm wondering if folks here have more insight than our clueless chief executive.
Shout out to Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh! Dittos, dudes!

Have your kids ever seen a really scary movie? Maybe Godzilla, Frankenstein, The Mummy, Halloween, etc.
When you have a chance to talk with your kids without interference from Dad, ask them if they remember seeing the movie, and explain to them thay some prople can't tell that the movie isn't real. In the same sense, a few years ago YOU thought that the story of Armageddon was real, and for a long time you believe it was real, and you even made the mistake of teaching THEM it was real, but you've recently rea;ized that Armageddon was only a story, that it isn't real and is NEVER going to happen, that it was meant to SCARE people into going to church.
Anytime they even hint about Armageddon, remind them that it is just a story and isn't real. Reassure them that God (or Jesus) is LOVE and that people who are afraid of Armageddon have forgotten that god (or Jesus) is Love.
Basically what they need to do is de-program themselves to get rid of the scary pictures in their heads.

Improving Critical Thinking Skills
by GloomySunday ini'm out of the jw religion, but still have trouble thinking critically.
when i was in, i had no idea what a logical fallacy was, i used all sorts of false arguments, yes, even "if man evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?".
i would fall for just about everything.

"False Prophets" part notably uncomfortable
by Separation of Powers inso, service meeting last night.
bro handling the "false prophet" part was notably disturbed.
every time he spoke of previous "expectations" his body language was like "oh my god, can you believe i'm saying this?

"Jehovah's organization has never claimed to be inspired."
Then why do any damn thing they say?

I Know A MS That Just Got Reappointed As An Elder After 5 Years And Still Thinks He's Not Qualified
by minimus inhe's a very good man and recognizes his limitations.
he still dislikes field service and considers himself inferior to the other elders.
he has almost no contact with his disfellowshipped older son.

"The lawsuit says the church’s elders told her that to be appointed as a regular pioneer of the church, she would have to prove to the elders that she had forgiven him for raping her. She was instructed by the elders of Los Lunas that she should demonstrate her forgiveness by hosting … (the elder) and his family in their home, and by permitting her children to spend time, including nights, at … his home under (his) supervision,”
Note that the Elders are not saying the rape didn't happen, they're saying that this sister must demonstrate SUBMISSION by now putting her own daughters at risk! WTF is wrong with these idiots? They are mentally diseased!

The precision with which the "Truth Be Told" campaign has been conducted has been impressive: it's like a well-oiled rock.
Take this thread for instance. No details.
No answers to the essential questions
who
what
WHERE
WHEN
how
why
I tried to contact the man behind the movie. No contact information for him is available anywhere on the internet, so I write to one of the 3 or 4 websites involved in promoting TBT and request contact. No relpy. Does he have a staff or is it all entourage and groupies?
I can think of three XJW movie projects that I have heard of in the past couple of years that have been express trains to NOWHERE.
TBT is yet another object lesson in how to run a failed campaign.
Good work! NOT!
