  Even after many years out, why can't you stop thinking about them.

  there is a lot of exjws who have been out 10-20-30-50 years, but for some reason, when they see a group of jehovah's witnesses, sitting by their carts, drinking coffee, scrolling through phones, laughing, something inside happens.

  most can't explain it.

  some say it makes their blood boil.

  It is called "Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome," which should not be confused with "Kellogg Traumatic Stress Syndrome."

  Post and Kellogg are two US breakfast cereal companies.

  Well, they can't drink coffee or alcohol and can only drink water after enough salt has been added to float a fresh raw egg (see Naphthalene 3:7).

  Sometimes I'm just silly.

  Hoser confessed, "Neither my wife nor I were born with the intelligence or family background to become medical doctors."

  My comment wasn't about you personally. I intended to point out that a casual, unstructured (it seems I left some words out here; I meant to say "curiculum") like that will not produce a medical doctor

  Hoser notified us, "We learned the skills we needed along the way."

  OK, yes, that is a GOOD THING, but no one gets to be a medical doctor with a casual, unstructured like that.

  Things Rutherford got wrong that Fred Franz had to clear up

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was interested by the suggestion in a recent discussion that rutherford was in some way preferable to fred franz, because i’ve not come across this view before.

  it made me rethink my assumptions and try to work out why i hold the opposite view and prefer fred franz to rutherford.

  i haven’t done any additional research, so i’m only drawing on what i can remember off the top of my head, but i thought i’d list a few things where i reckon fred franz’s approach was preferable to rutherford.

  This is amusing to me, because to me this is a contest to decide the better of two evils. I understand that many here are in the "believers" class, but I'm not. I'm an atheist, and to me the entire issue sets off on the wrong foot:

  First, with the assumption that there exists a "spirit realm" containing creatures both friendly and unfriendly to man. Maybe I should also add creatures who are indifferent to man's plight.

  Second, that there *might* be elements of Watchtower dogma and expectations that are TRUTH.

  It is like having an imaginary barrel that contains imaginary rotten, maggot-ridden fish and thinking, "Some of that fish might be tasty."

  Rutherford was, MAYBE, an intelligent man whose major concern was HIMSELF, even to the exclusion of his wife and their son.

  Franz was a religious fanatic who believed that he was "blessed" with special "spiritual" insight.

  History has shown both of these fools to be LIARS.

  Which LIES do you like more?

  Even if you're "spiritually inclined," how can you think that there was any crumb on the table these guys set that was not poison?

  If it was Tuesday and either one of them said it was Tuesday, I'd still check a calendar.

  What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?

  by Sea Breeze in

  2. experiences

  i knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.

  she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.

  no one even remembered her.

  Yes, SeaBreeze, please share those "similar stories.

  "There is no time like the present" applies here. If you are concerned about being persecuted for telling the truth (and that is understandable), tell your truth in the most generic, anonymized way possible, without real names of people or places and without dates.

  Too often things have gone unsaid because "time and circumstance" have made individuals mute. Please don't let that happen to you.

  if anyone needed any further proof of how low and despicable this cult has become, here's more evidence.

  I had no idea WHO Mark O'Donnell is, so I asked my robot friend, Gemini, "Who is the Mark O'Donnell being sued by The Watchtower?"

  Gemini replied, "Based on the search results, the Burholme Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, along with other congregations, has filed a lawsuit against a Mark O'Donnell in the Eastern District Court of Pennsylvania. The case number is 2:24-cv-00304, and it was filed on January 22, 2024. The nature of the suit is listed as "Other Statutes - Other Statutory Actions," with a cause of action related to 18:2511 Wiretapping."

  I thought I'd share this if anyone else was also clueless like me.

  If anyone wishes to add additional information or further clarification (in case Gemini was WRONG, which happens, those comments will be welcomed, of course.
