  Dumplin,...

  Is it possible to get a link to that cleaner picture without the chalk board? I would like to redo mine so that it is cleaner.

  "Be Generous" caleb cartoon

  by EndofMysteries in

  anybody see the new cartoon?

  the girl has a quarter and is going to get an ice cream but then puts it in the contribution box instead.

  the gb want to make sure they guilt and suck the kids meager allowances dry as well and prep them as they grow up to keep giving!

  Plastic Surgery and JW's

  by lurkernomore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  has anyone ever seen any articles on the appropriateness of plastic surgery for wittos?

  just popped into my head at work and don't think i can ever recall this even being given a mention at the meetings or in the literature.

  i guess it would fall into the same sort of bracket as tattoos, but then again looking at some of the mutton in our circuit it looks like they've indulged in this at some point.

  But what will happen to all those titanium rods and screws holding bones together in the new order? Will they dissapear into think air? Will the same happen to all the sisters that have had breastusist implants? Will they slowly deflate infront of everyone in a roar of " I knew it!!"

  FROM FEET TO FINGERS: THE WATCHTOWER EVOLVES INTO JW.ORG

  by steve2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the official letter from the gb to all bodies of elders, a stylized jw.org banner can now be appended to kingdom hall signage.. what an auspicious year this will turn out to be for the organization!!.

  among other outcomes, the "link" with the old, baggage-ridden "watchtower bible & tract society" recedes into the background.

  furthermore, now you don't pretend to need feet trudging door-to-door - your worker is done at the press of a few directed fingers.

  Many cities have a sign ordinance that limits the amount of square feet allowed for a "business" . Usually an entity will use up all of their allotment when th initially build the sign and would need to get an approval for additional sq footage to be added.

  We know the kingdom halls will be adding these logos in the near future it might be nice to find out ahead of time from the department that over sees this from the city if there is a sign ordinance and if a church would need to be compliant with the ordinance.

  Do you think there would be any benefit to explaining cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, sunken cost fallacy etc prior or at least early on in a conversation like this to prepare them for the mind wanting to back out of the logic trail?

  I would also explain what the Mormons etc that are discovering their religion is not what they think it is are experiencing when they start to investigate.

  Here is a great link to share, IMO, with someone willing to look at the WTBTS as possibly being wrong. It is the story of a Mormon thinking his way out of his religion and he uses the jws as a proxy religion so that he could remain somewhat unbiased.

  Interview on YouTube with a former Bethelite who ended up homeless

  by RayPublisher in

  2. experiences

  this is one of the most extraordinary interviews i've done on youtube to date and i'm not just saying that.. shawn "zen" dean shared his harrowing story with me of being raised in the jw "truth", going to watchtower farms and then getting his teaching degree only to end up homeless... lots of stories along the way, told with humor, sincerity and a heart full of love.. this is a tender-hearted guy that has had the ass-end of the stick his whole life... that's "the truth"!.

  What did I learn from this thread?

  I learned not to be quick in calling "troll" at the expense of scaring away a person who came to this site for answers

  about the WTBTS/Jw. The upside of making the "troll" comment was being first to call them out with the downside being that you more than likely prevented a person from seeing the WTBTS for what it truly is.

  There are so many variables that could happen in the future that could make a person "look" like a troll but in reality are not. A person could have misunderstood what was said, the person that share story X could have been lying, the story could be true and would be dealt with on a Judicial Commitee later, etc etc etc,..

  I hate seeing a person come here and get pounced on in a free for all with everyone jumping in sharing stories. I think its almost like information overload for the person asking the question. I wish there was a better way to handle situations like this although I do not know how to go about doing it.

  I would just ask everyone to think about the potential fallout regarding this person from the way this thread went down. I'm sure eventually she will hear from her study conductor about those that have left the WTBTS and their motives etc, What do you think JNJ will remember when this topic comes up?
