  hey guys.

  i was recently talking to a old friend who is a very active elder.

  i was talking about ' the truth' and he suggested i sounded like an apostate because i used terms like ' the society' and ' watchtower '.. i am aware that ' dubspeak ' has changed over the years and i am pretty sure that someone posted about it here but i can't find the thread.

  Was looking at my childhood book "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained" I found something interesting.

  i was showing a friend of mine what kind of books my parents allowed me to read when i was very young.

  no children books that was age related but the so called orange paradise book was my only children book i had.

  she was taken back on how violent it was and showing little kids being killed by god was just unspeakable.

  I remember the horror pictures.

  I hated that F**King book even when I was a witness.

  i have a relative who is a "dyed in the wool true blue jw" and yesterday he sent me this link with the jw method of evaluating the news " more to come !.

  sounds like they're grasping at straws now to put meat on their failed prophecy bones.. http://www.freep.com/story/money/business/michigan/2017/02/23/family-christian-stores-close/98310234/.

  Funny how they found this article and sent it to you, but if you sent them the one about the ARC, what would be their reaction. When witnesses send links about failures of other religious places, they are showing you....See, if they had Jehovah's blessing this wouldn't have happened....

  You took the words outta my mouth tor

  That's what I see berry.

  As I pointed out in that thread, I think it must be from a drama that maybe takes place in the past?

  Guess we'll have to be there eagerly awaiting the answer!

  I can see where you might be looked upon with suspicion for using those terms.

  I've noticed when you are talking about the org you CAN say organization, the branch, the society and of course "the slave".

  I have to really bite my tongue when they start talking about all this crap in dubspeak. Usually I'll just try to stay out of it.

  Crazy is right though, it is lame. Sounds like that elder was fishing to me.

  So I was looking at some of the other pictures.

  I think I figured them out.

  T. Pants is probably going to speak on the first day via recorded or tie in talk.

  The picture from Saturday afternoon...

  I'm thinking is a scene from the drama "remember Lots wife"". The creepy lady is going back to the world while her helpless husband looks on from the kitchen where there is no dinner because his rotten wife is headed to a birthday party...haven't figured out the butterfly or the (what I am assuming is Jonah) part yet.

  And of course...

  
  

  Must be a scene from another drama that takes place in the past. They are using the blue "truth" book. Isn't that like "old light"?

  This pic...

  
  

  Gives a hint that the nasty backsliding lady has come to her senses and we get a happy conclusion the the drama of "remember Lots wife.

  All in all it looks like an adventure filled joyride for a fully awake exJW to have to endure.
