Embellished assembly interviews/"experiences"

by ab.ortega in

oh how wonderful those experiences at assemblies and "schools" are - not.

at times it seemed as if these "experiences" were scripted.

the speaker gets criteria in the outline regarding what the experience or interview has to be about.

So I have given many district assembly talks, and have experience in this area. It is one of the things that really upset me.

In consecutive years I had talks that needed real life experiences . Both times I knew exactly who would be perfect for the parts. They and their experiences perfectly fit the theme and the intent of the part (in my opinion).

I was shocked both times when the C.O. made them actually change their "true life experience"! He didn't like the details and thought it would be better if he modified what really happened.

The first time this happened it was with a sister who just meekly went along with it.

The second time it was a friend of mine, and though he did it (completely lifeless presentation - who can blame him) he was confused, hurt, and angry about it. I believe it has put big doubts in his mind since then.

These are not the only occasions I have witnessed. Having been giving assembly parts for years, I saw in rehearsals this happen to other people, or having "important" sections cut out (always so it looked like dogs hand was in the matter).

I was VERY VERY DISGUSTED! I was happy most of my parts were longer talks where I had control.

Update - Talk # 6 THE FLOOD OF NOAH’S DAY AND YOU

by ttdtt in

instead of scraping this talk they updated it.. so they still try and make this look like it happened, and that there is plenty of evidence.to do that they refer to the (w08 6/1 8) found at http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2008411the main evidence is that floods have happened in the past, including.... geologists studying the landscape of the northwestern united states believe that as many as 100 ancient catastrophic floods once washed over the area.

one such flood is said to have roared through the region with a wall of water 2,000 feet [600 m] high, traveling at 65 miles an hour [105 km/hr]—a flood of 500 cubic miles [2,000 cu km] of water, weighing more than two trillion tons.

similar findings have led other scientists to believe that a global flood is a distinct possibility.. i could not find such an event, except for remembering one of those "disaster" shows on discover about that.

i left behind my sister and her two daughters by mid 2015 both her daughters (both are in their early twenties) were disfellowshipped and left the organization.

dozy - I think back at the stupid things I backed up in talks. All us exElders have done that.

I remember when is was still under the spell, I knew enough that the flood could not be caused by rain. I found all kinds of research done by the Air Force on atmospheric studies. It had very specific info on how much water was in the air, how much could the atmosphere possibly hold... I did research on the atmosphere in general, and had a long debate with another elder that the waters had to come from underground (stupid as well - but I thought it was more likely).

All his arguments about the Canopy (never mentioned or implied in the bible) and rain, were so easily dismissed but to no avail.

The Spell is Strong!

2016-4-4-BOE!--Scanning and Sending Medical Records through Emails!

by Atlantis in

i was always under the impression that only "licensed" persons had the authority to do this.. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.

2016-4-4-boe scanning and sending medical records through emails!.

.. this is the last paragraph of the main body of the boe without the top and bottom, which revealed the congregation and information which could expose our source.. .. "therefore, brothers, i appeal to you to make sure that a copy of the new add for every publisher is kept in alphabetical order, perhaps using an a-z filing system to expedite it's location and so that it can be kept neat, clean and legible for scanning and emailing for up to 4 years, after which a new copy should be completed.

This is NOT an official letter from the WT. Maybe its a letter from a C.O. I dont think so though.

I could not find such an event, except for remembering one of those "disaster" shows on Discover about that. A giant tsunami long long ago.

Notice there are NO references. Also NO note stating that those "100 ancient floods" happened over the course of thousands and thousands of years, not at the same time, thus proving nothing about a global flood.

And what similar findings and what scientists think there was a global flood, and do they think it happened 4k years ago?

TONS OF INGENUINE BS

Here is a list of past ones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatsunami#List_of_megatsunamis

OH HERE IS THE NEW OUTLINE.

If only every person who is part of a religion forever stopped having sex - all our problems would be solved in a "generation".

Thanks!

Talk 5 is funny.

Glad to see they are spending as much time helping men who have viewed porn as with a man who has cheated.

The are roughly equivalent:)

My 14-year-old niece is being disfellowshipped

by keyser soze in

jw
friends

i was contacted by my ex sister-in-law yesterday.

she asked me if i wanted to spend some time with my niece, while she went to her sister's baby shower.

it turns out my niece can't go because she's about to be disfellowshipped at the ripe old age of 14. .

ttdtt

Sorry keyser - it really is just horrible.

Wait I got an idea! - let's practically force little kids to live by a set of rules they have no idea about, are not mentally ready to process or understand, and then lets punish them harshly when the act on normal feelings a few years later!

Oh darn, the WT beat me to it.
