by ILoveTTATT2 in

.

when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

Will the talk where They say treat inactive ones as apostates back fire?

by Crazyguy in

a few years ago they had a similar talk and my mother stopped talking to my sister.

after a few weeks the sister called and when mom told her my sister said but i love your my mother.

something to that effect.

ttdtt

I do not believe they are asking you to treat Inactive ones like Apostates.

They are saying if you know baptised ones who are doing things "against the JW laws" you should not associate with them.

That has always been the case.

Orwell's 1984- a text book for the GB?

by purrpurr in

i'm in the middle of studying 1984 by george orwell .

it's a frightening book but more so for me because it's describing the borg to the letter almost just by another name.. right down to the changing of history to suit bb doctrine, the younger generation not believing anymore but finding ways around the rules to live their own lives.

the culture of squealing on others and kids being taught to do that even to their own parents.

Combine 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 with a little of Brave New World - and you get the GB

Yes for sure - the parallels are uncanny.

I read it often - and am always shocked to see how similar the org is.

Witness Carts - A Vehicle for Significant Decline

by slimboyfat in

i was stalking to a jw today about her recent experience on the carts and with being a jw generally.

until this conversation i considered the carts as just an ineffective preaching method and a harmless waste of time.

but now i wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in jw numbers.

ttdtt

But now I wonder if the effect of the carts might be to produce noticeable decline in JW numbers.

For sure it HAS and will continue to. The baptism and hrs in service numbers were down last year, and one of the factors is this Cart witnessing crap. It is got to be the least effective way to "preach" they have ever thought of.

P.S. look for the Hrs for Aux Pio to drop since so few people are doing it now. They will want to bolster those numbers:)

Reaction of the JW believers to the 2016 RC

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

there are threads on the content of the rc and reaction of awake jws here, but how are indoctrinated jws reacting to the convention.

my family and i have not attended yet, but i am bracing myself for it.

anybody talking in jw circles?

Which Public Talks did you enjoy giving/hearing? And which ones did you dislike giving or hearing?

by humblepotato in

i was just going through some of my talk outlines and i've decided to git rid of quite a few of them.

i'm still serving, but as time goes on... there are many subjects i will not teach anymore.. i got rid of the outlines dealing with blood, the field ministry, and ones talking about 607 and 1914. i can barely stand hearing them let alone give them.

in fact, talk 41 "stand still and see the salvation of jehovah" is one i got rid of because its whole point was about having blind obedience toward the gb and the elders during the great tribulation, and that we need to start practicing obedience now if we want to survive.

ttdtt

I used to love giving any talk that dealt with history or science. They were almost always butchered by people who barely understood the world was not flat.

But after learning TTATT I stopped giving those in favor or ones that dealt with topics like love - resurrection - love - forgiveness... I took as much of the crap out of them that I could, minimized use of the bible, and used the J word as little as possible.

But it didnt take long before I could not even give those. It was time to get out.

And Most Hated EVER! Were almost every wedding talk and the Dogly view of Sex and Marriage.
