SlimBoyFat, I'm trying to seduce you. How am I doing so far?

But seriously, folks... when you're correct, you are correct.

I'm sure at some point in the future - the year 3535 perhaps? - we can resume our more usual incendiary combatives...

until then...

“A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God. . . . Accept truth wherever you find it, no matter what it contradicts” (WT 7/1879, pp. 8-9).

COMATOSE observed,

" We can use this to our advantage. Perfect to make them think."

How can we "use this to our advantage" if it was WT doctrine since the 1950s [at least; that's when I personally encountered it]?

"Make them think" -- About WHAT, the Grand-Slam breakfast at Denny's?

SlimBoyFat is exactly correct, this is not a new understanding.

You guys need to dial it back a notch and fasten the chinstraps on your thinking hats.

Let's try to be AT LEAST as accurate as the WTB&TS.

Histrionics is SO unbecoming of a dedicated apostate; it's in the UADNA handbook.

new bible.

new insight volumes (starting 2014 theocretic school year talks will be taken from the insight books).

I hear they're going to slap some crap between two covers and call it "good."

And so I felt inadequate again... for a moment
by ohnightdivine in
1. jw
2. friends
despite knowing ttatt recently and trying my very best not to absorb the fds-supplied "knowledge" any further, i could not help but feel inadequate again during today's meeting.

strange, right?

yet, normal.
Nathan Natas

Here are a few ideas I picked up years ago that helped relieve me of "theocratic performance anxiety:"
The JWs assert that the Bible is a communication from God to the members of Christ's BRIDE ( the anointed).
Thus it follows, as the Watchtower teaches, that the command to preach and otherwise outperform is a task given to the ANOINTED.
I never considered myself to be "anointed," and no one ever suggested I might be. If that is true for you too, a lightbulb should be coming on by now...
The Warchtower says it is your "priviledge" to "share" the work of the anointed. There's NOTHING that compels you to do so, however!
Take a day off!
Go fishing!
or sleep late!
Let the anointed "exert themselves vigorously," you're going for the Grand Slam breakfast at Denny's!
The idea of being someone's "bride" just never appealed to me.

My Mom Is Finally Seeing The Light!
by minimus in
1. jw
2. friends
i am very happy that my dear old mom is finally seeing the truth about the "truth".

what hit her like a ton of bricks is the latest wt.

study article that exalts the governing body and pretty much negates everything the bible students and russell, the founder of the watchtower, ever said was truth!.
Nathan Natas

The worry is always "they've given such a large portion of their lives to the Watchtower, how will they go on knowing it was all for nothing?"
But the saying is, "Where there is LIFE, there is HOPE."
Maybe just knowing that they are now FREE of a LIE is comfort enough.
I really am happy for you Min, and especially so for your Mom.

Writing a book
by DeWandelaar in
1. jw
2. experiences
dear all,.

today i decided i will write a book.

it will not be a book about my findings or revelations about ttatt and neither will it be a book about my personal experiences.
Nathan Natas

May I offer one suggestion?
In order to apeal to the largest possible audience, make sure your book contains an absolute minimum of Watchtower dogma and mythology and misology.
Try to keep it kinda-sorta mainstream Xtian.
