What grinds my gears most about being part of a high control religion!

by UnshackleTheChains in

the one thing that annoys me most about being a jdub is the control watchtower has over everyone.

for a start, there is absolutely no liberty in christ.

there is no freedom to openly express your own thoughts on scripture.

What annoys me most of all is that I actually like everyone at my hall.

Let me ask you this though, if it wasn't for the forced closeness of the KH, would you have chosen them as your friends?

I liked everyone at my hall, but when I learned TTATT, I did not feel a loss at not seeing them.
It was very obvious the vast majority of the friendships were completely superficial and not real friendships.

Then I realized, If I had met them in other areas of life, I would not have chosen them as friends.

Less magaiznes per year

by punkofnice in

only 6 very thin magazines per year and then recycling the propaganda within.. how are your local congregations spinning this?.

i heard a local congo-abongo-i is launching a campaign™ to place as amny magazines as possible in the month (this or next...not sure..sources sketchy).

which i find a bit strange.

What I want to know is - years ago - Reading all that literature was the MINIMUM we needed to survive the big A!

Years ago the Book Study was going to be our last and only link to keep safe during the GT!

The long meetings and long assemblies, the tons of books and magazines we had to digest was all - the BARE MINIMUM we needed to worship DOG and make it through the BIG A!!!!

So now everyone needs less?
Did DOG downsize the big A?

March 2018 Study Watchtower

by Listener in

the first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.

there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.

they try to impress on others the need for urgency.

You are right.

The problem stems in that MEN have 40 times the Testosterone than women.

That's why Men are more violent, commit more crimes and tend to like going to war, and accumulating power.

Oh and want to F anyting that moves.

Well the "god used her" doesn't seem to jive with the unholy scriptures?

James 1:13

13 When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he himself try anyone.

I don't think the reaction people are hoping for is going to be the result:(

I think it could become normalized in peoples minds, or become a just "whatever".

Especially since the groper-in-chief got rewarded for his bad behavior.
