Hmmm...
"Show by your acts that you DESERVE UNDESERVED kindness."
It certainly seems that the GB speech-writers have reading comprehension problems of their own, Silly Gooses!

by UBM101 ini went with my husband tonight for the first time.

then passing the wine and bread for nothing.

To those taking a stand and not attending the Memorial tonight
by doubtfull1799 ini salute you.
many of you, like me, are probably under enormous emotional pressure, whether from a lingering false sense of guilt from your indoctrination, whether from "invitations," and assumptions that you'll naturally be coming, or whether from outright emotional blackmail, even begging and pleading.
i am thinking of you whoever you are, all of you, even though i don't know you in person.

Nightmare on memorial night. This cult really sucks.
by Still Totally ADD inthis morning i woke up from a good night's sleep to a horrible nightmare.
as soon as i woke up i asked myself when am i going to get this cult out of my head.
as a disclaimer i just want you all to know my wife would never do this because she is a hard fast atheist.

"There is a crack, a crack, in everything.
That's how the light gets in." -- Leonard Cohen
Perhaps your dream was a consequence of cognitive dissonance;
on the other hand, it might have been a bit of un-digested potato.
Nothing to fear, either way.

Was it just me or was something different about the memorial last night?
by kpop inthis was the first memorial that i declined to do any work for the memorial.
i was assigned as a parking attendant after getting downgraded from doing the sound and had no intention of doing either task but i had to attend for my family and continuation of my fade.
i sat there last night listening to the talk and couldn't help but shake my head as my brain attempted to process the bs.

You're welcome. Maybe someday you will let go of the fear that every distant thunderclap is the beginning of Armageddon.
Not only is it not, it never will be. We were all taught tales invented by fairies.

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

I'm going to let you have the last word, Elder Cofty.
I suspect you could be diagnosed with both Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. You will not seek help because YOU are the ultimate authority, but you should.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages and walks of life, and occurs when a person gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are unwanted, intrusive thoughts, images or urges that trigger intensely distressing feelings. Compulsions are behaviors an individual engages in to attempt to get rid of the obsessions and/or decrease his or her distress.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality disorder in which the individual has a distorted self image, unstable and intense emotions, is overly preoccupied with vanity, prestige, power and personal adequacy, lacks empathy, and has an exaggerated sense of superiority. NPD is closely associated with egocentrism - a personality characteristic in which people see themselves and their interests and opinions as the only ones that really matter.

One way to check your biases is to examine the evidence, which you refuse to do, preferring instead the warm coziness of your suspicions.
You are not a seeker of truth, you are seeking to build your own image, Nebuchadnezzar.

Russell thought that his job was to collect the scattered members of the "Bride of Christ," so, to his thinking, EVERYONE who joined with him was a part of that "Bride" class.
A problem arose when the ranks of those associating with the WTB&TS rose well beyond 144,000. Slogan Engineers and Bible Apologists were assigned the task of making this reality fit in with doctrinal expectations, and voila! -- a new "class" was revealed to worldwide seekers of excuses.
From the twisted perspective of the WTB&TS, it all fits. For fanatics it always all fits.
I do not agree with the claim that "the rejection of blood transfusions is consistent with the rejection of the blood of Christ." Convince me.
