so the local jc decided to df my girlfriend because of basically premarital sex.. she confessed few weeks back to the elders, and the judicial system had its wheels rolling.. they confronted her today, and eventually came to the conclusion described above.. .
she told them that she regretted our sexual acts, and that we wouldn't perform that kind of actions before we're married.. they talked with her about getting married etc.
a week before the jc.. now the reason they decided to df her was not the sexual acts itself, nor the lack of regret,.
This my your shot to get her to see that this is not gods organization.
There is a article written in 1952 , I think, where the WTBTS slams the Catholic Church for ex-communicating its members and goes on to say that it is based on paganism and is unscriptural to do this.

Check out half way down the heading "Are you also excommunicated ?" For more info on this if you think it will help her see the changes.

i have a youtube channel and make videos from time to time.. i recieved a personal message today in which the person asked me for some information:.
"i had an email from someone saying that after ww2, the jw's campaigned for and received financial compensation for the witnesses that died in the camps.
and that the monies were not used for the victims families.
Hey Saintbertholdt

so i'm still going to the meetings...my spouse is still very much active...however, after i learned ttabtt...i feel like such a hypocrite in reciting (commenting) the wt writings and teachings at the meetings...in your own experience...how did you handle this situation?...and if you did comment, what did you say?...i still go out to service, however, i only use the bible and do not distribute wt literature...so far nobody has said anything lol.... .
thanks!.
I have an idea, win win,..
Start practising you best monotone Robot Voice and get it to the point where it is slightly discernable where you sound more like a human with just a hint of a robotic voice. Then when you comment you can share your comment in that vasi robot human voice to show that anoyone participating in this is just basically a robot. lol
You could start EVERY comment off as "The correct answer, as taken verbatim from this article is,......."

i mean no disrespect to sd-7 or his fine thread on which this picture has already featured, but i think it is just so ridiculous that it deserves a thread all of its own.. lurkers and apologists, this is how your precious organization views itself.... behold the madness.... .

I remember once many years ago someone saying that there are those that know the names of ALL the Presidents of the USA but do not know all the names of the GB.
So they were trying to get us to learn the names of the Gb at the time so there is some that hold them a little higher than they should.

I don't think that anyone can 'wake someone up" using that picture as it only is relative to those of us who have already woken up.
It borders, in my opinion, on subliminal to an extent. A way of reminding us that we do not have any REAL direct link to spirit creatures above and that if you want to recieve that reward sought after for decades, you gotta come through us, without having to actually vocalize that thought.
It's shows who each level answers to and also shows that the GB are the ultimate ones when it comes to us Earth bounders.
Also it shows that the GB is familiar with the old adage "Crap flows downhill"

there is anonther topic about the new organizational sheet of the jw organisation.. it's nice to see the gb (=fds) on top of the earthly part of it.
read some interesting information about the.
severe disorder they must have:.
What about the person who enters the party and assumes to take the seat at the head of the table next the host and the host has to tell the person that the seat was saved for someone else and he has to be asked to get up and move to a lower position. Happy is the person who takes the lower position and is asked to come to a higher position.
I see the GB did not get that memo.

Here you go, this is evidently the cause of some of the cases I have read before.

how long do you think the watchtower can speak about 1914 and have followers think it relevant?
i think for people born in the 1900's, it feels like an acceptable year.
but what about those born since 2000, will 1914 seem like a year of relevance?
I would not put it past the GB from saying something like "Some in the past, evidently, thought that we should have used Earth years when calculating Daniels prophecy, as it were."

after this whole thing with him talking to this other girl on fb, now he deleted me as a friend.
i have his username and password.
it's like, he doesn't want this marriage to work at all.. i don't even have it in me to argue with him.
And if he does IM her, I think that they could delete each and every message before logging off and you would not see any of that.
Anyone know about this for sure?
