  They Need War Now

  http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/10/26/israel-issues-warning-to-iran-over-nuclear-bomb-report/?intcmp=latestnews.

  there have been similar headlines on usa today and the drudgereport.. they need ww3 and they need it now.. the israelis understand what will likely happen if peace with iran breaks out.

  there will be a movement towards eliminating all nuclear weapons in the middle east and the intensification of declaring 'apartheid' as regards the palestinians.. in other words, the practical end of israel as a zionist state.. in addition, there are senators who lust for war (lindsay graham, etc) they realize that the fog of war would move the us towards becoming a full police state, eliminating what's left of the bill of rights and distracting the whole nation from its failing economy.. i think it's too late for a phony false flag attack - to blame iran for some made-up terrorist attack.

  In just a few years I will be celebrating 50 years since I was in the WT Borganism, but as I recall, no one was *required* to join the TMS, but it was considered a sign of "spiritual progress".

  Like the Chinese Finger Trap, once in it is difficult to withdraw. The best strategy is to begin missing a bunch of assigned talks, which means that someone else will have to prepare a talk with only minutes notice. After a few of these stunts they will probably be happy to let you go.

  As I recall, that was part of how I went from Pioneer/MS to zero in a brief time. I didn't want drama, I just wanted OUT.

  I'm Taking A "Newly Interested One" To Her First Meeting

  i've been out of the organization for quite a number of years, and still feel that uneasy feeling that was washed into every cell of my being by wt indoctrination since birth.

  never seems to go away completely, does it?.

  i use to feel the need to talk about my experience in the organization to others, to worldlies, and they never quite seem to understand.

  Letting go of Highly Qualified Men

  by James Jackson in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have been posting for a few months now and have read the life stories of tech49, confusedandalone, winston smith and other brothers who have held prominent positions in the organization who were dismissed not for any gross sins, but mainly for not keeping their child toeing the line.

  they have been "cast aside", nit picked to death, and made to feel unworthy for their years of dedicated service.

  even in my case, having my best friends treat me like the plague to jockey for position of recogntion.. is this what the organization is resorting to now?

  Brother Jackson, it seems to me that you have yet to experience ILLUMINATION; you seem to still be functioning as though you believe The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society is Pure Worship™.

  I have left garlic bread at the altar of The Flying Spaghetti Monster on your behalf. May you soon be embraced by His Noodley Appendages.

  Let this strike your consciousness like Lightning from Thor's Hammer: The WTB&TS is a man-made CULT not much different from all the other religions and CULTS that the WTB&TS condemns as "False religion"! ALL religions are FALSE!

  Wake Up, man!

  LET GO of your faith-based speculations, expectations, hopes and dreams!

  "Thus shall ye think of this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud; A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

  You were lucky, the tapes contained Old Light, so Jehovah let you off with a toe stubbing.

  Try a stunt like that with the new gray NNWT though, and all bets are off. Jehovah might send anti-matter after you.

  I think Laika is correct.

  I make an effort to ignore SfPW's posts as often as possible.

  Don't feed the trolls and don't take their bait.

  Imagine if SfPW started a thread and it was completely ignored?

  I know, call me a dreamer...

  Abiather (you presumptuous JW twit),

  GOOD FOR YOU! IT IS GREAT THAT YOU ARE HERE!

  Here's how YOU can improve your standing in the XJW community: remember that NONE of us are here to fulfill Your needs or desires or live up to your "thoughtfully worked out" standards.

  We HAVE NOT been prayerfully awaiting YOUR arrival here. Each INDIVIDUAL here has their own story and their own reason for being here.

  You may be AMAZED to learn that NONE of these individuals was waiting for YOU to show up and tell them how they can IMPROVE themselves.

  You can be more ELEGANT if you keep this thought in mind: Everyday, the Universe provides THOUSANDS of opportunities for you to SHUT UP. When you are inclined to offer a left-handed compliment with advice about how the reader can further improve themselves, take advantage of THAT opportunity to SHUT UP.

  Other than that, it will be perfectly wonderful having you here (at last!) to guide us out of gloomy darkness and into YOUR dazzling light.
