  Ideas to discreetly identify the awoken among us

  by Truthexplorer in

  ok. i know this has been brought up in the past, but i have often wondered who in our halls are awake (for those of us who attend).

  there are some i would consider a 'maybe', but no way of ever really knowing.. so here is my idea.

  i hope it doesn't sound too masonic,.

  One of my family members is COMPLETELY awake. He knows, and sees that its all complete and utter BS.

  He even has a very close friend in another congregation 20 minute away, who is an ELDER, and is COMPLETELY awake.

  They meet once a week for breakfast, and or other outings, and discuss the current nonsense that is being pushed. His elder friend even gives him "dirt" on what craziness is going down in his congregation. Believe you me, some of it is indeed CRAZY, too.

  My point is, that these are 2 men, one of them even being an Elder, that are in 2 different congregations, that a COMPLETELY awake. They are not kinda on the fence, or half and half, they KNOW whats up. That being said, from outside "perspectives" they are both "IN". so you never know who may be, or not be "awake".

  I don't remember the details of how they both realized each other was "awake". I should find out, and post it here. Maybe it will be an example of a good way to find out if someone else is awake.

  I don't know which one in the picture above, with all 8 of them, is in charge.

  However, what I DO know, is that the one in the picture above who's wearing a suit and tie, is a self deluded, megalomaniac, money hungry, twisted, blood guilty, charlatan, who's days are numbered.

  Don't worry, though, its just the ones wearing a suit and tie, in that picture, that are this way.

  How delusional is Tony Morris actually?

  by Festus in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  anthony morris iii was representing gb in international convention in helsinki, finland.

  in his final talk he mentioned that at the fight of armageddon jesus will fight together with the 144 000. he then reminds the audience that one angel destroyed 185000 assyrians.

  so what are "144 000 immortal creatures together with jesus going to do".

  Lets think about that statement by Tony Morris, of him one day being able to control the weather.

  What he is saying, in effect, is that when he dies and is shot up to heaven in the blink of an eye, he will then have the power to stop thunder, and control the weather.

  So, based on what HE SAID, we can only assume that the OTHER "anointed" who have already died, are up in heaven, immortal, and with the "powers" that Tony describes.

  Well then, I guess the anointed must HATE Louisiana in America, with all the flooding. They anointed MUST hate the California wilderness with the lightning strikes causing forest fires. The anointed, are causing rivers to surge in Texas, drowning souls, and homes a like. BEWARE the next tornado in middle America, BEWARE the mud slides from rain, in South America, BEWARE the hurricane that hits the Eastern seaboard, BEWARE all the weather patterns around the globe that will kill thousands, this year alone.

  BEWARE it, because according to Tony, his "anointed" brothers up in heaven already, are controlling ALL THAT WEATHER.

  He's a fu#$ing idiot. Self deluded prick, who has no clue whats up. He believes his own bullshit. BEWARE Tony, pride is what befalls ones one destruction. BEWARE Tony, that YOU don't get washed away by your own anointed brothers raining down on YOU.

  Wasn't there something recently in print, or given in a talk, about brothers not having tight pants, and sisters not having short "male" haircuts.

  Another thing, Lett smiles like a 4 year old child, who is still learning how to smile for pictures. They tend to over-exaggerate their smile, just like him.

  Jw's and beards

  without going into details.

  it appears that new light might be coming down the pipes that beards are acceptable.

  I've been rocking a beard/goatee since I left in my very early 20's. I love it, cause I am lazy and hate shaving. I let it go for about 3 or 4 months, then trim it down, rinse repeat.

  Honestly, on the rare occasions when I am with a bunch of JW's, I think a lot of the brothers are jealous I have a beard. These brothers only knew me as being clean shaven from youth until I left, and all they ever say when they see me now is, "you look real good". Lol, I like to think its my beard.

  I remember that bible as well. It was definitely the green one, that had the dinosaurs. In my 4 and 5 year old mind, while sitting thru those boring meetings, I would always stare at the dinos on the inside covers. It was the "coolest" thing in any WBTS, that I remember.

  Now in response to the OP's showing of those calendar pics, I do not remember them. They were probably before my time. One thing I do notice about the baptism picture, it looks like everyone being baptized is an ADULT. I do not see any 12 and 13 year olds getting dunked. Looks like a fully bearded man going under, and one leaving the water. The female entering the water, appears to be very adult as well, lol. Everyone else is observing.

  This is VERY telling of what is really going on with these charlatans. My friends, these are very interesting times. We are clearly observing, in real time, the demise of this organization.

  They are very AFRAID. They are TREMBLING with fear. They are self destructing, because of their own desperation. This is all do to the final culmination of over a hundred years of FALSE PROPHECY.

  If this speech, alone, doesn't show that these men have no direction, and are blowing in any direction the wind is taking them, then I don't know what does.

  These men should be very afraid. Their perceived "power" is shrinking, and they are fully exposed for all to see. They have shown their hand, in this big "game" they have been playing for decades, and it is a WEAK hand, and easily beatable, with logic, critical thinking, and facts.

  The sands of their hourglass are at the bottom now. They are swirling the "drain" at a fever pitch, soon to be "flushed" away for ever.

  i've been watching the show all over again, with my kids.

  we are in season 6 and there has been at least 3 mentions of jw in the show.. in one episode, mulder and scully get to a house and when they get there they realize the doorbell button has been ripped off.

  they look at each other and mulder says "frustrated jehovah's witness?".

  Family Guy has had a few JW references over the years, too. If you think about it, its usually always mentioned in the context of a joke.

  That's essentially how JW's are looked at, or thought about, as a joke. They are either made fun of, or put into the context as being an annoyance by knocking on your door.

  This is the "legacy" of the JW movement. A bunch of annoying people that come to your door, and should be made fun of. They are a joke.

  If You Refuse to Question, How Can You Be Sure of the Answer?

  by xjwsrock in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ..... let's pose a forbidden question....is the jw faith actually the one true religion?

  if you refuse to ask this question with a true open mind and heart, how can it be said you know the answer is yes?

  put another way..... if you refuse to ask this question today, how can you really say you know today that the answer is yes?.

  I think most JW's, or at least the hardcore, brainwashed, hardliners, would say that they have the one and only true religion.

  Its funny, though, because the ones who say this, are usually the same ones who never questioned anything about it. They usually have never studied other types of philosophies, scientific theories, or even how the stories/myths of the most ancient cultures like Sumeria, have the same stories that pre-date the bible.

  They think they have the true religion, based on ignorance. Just like back in the day, the "great minds" thought the earth was flat, and resting on the backs of giant turtles. They believed they had the truth too.
