  they were doing a good job keeping a straight face while listening to him. Someone ought to show them stephen Lett. Pretty much anything he says and they will lose their composure.

  Unbelievable KMS example

  i've been to the kingdom ministry school (for elders) recently and can report that it is mostly the usual mix of cliches and platitudes.

  several letters where basically just read through one line at a time.

  one point early on though almost made me laugh out loud.

  I keep getting the little blue pill ads in my email box and I am a middle aged lady with no interest in blue pills. I am the only one with access to my computer, so its a mystery to me!

  Slowly killing them…

  by silentbuddha in

  so yesterday a family friend who was never age overs witness give me a phone call.

  he says that he is quite upset with me and wants to give me a chance to explain why i'm treating my father so portly.

  mind you i have not seen my father or mother in about 3 years and they refused to talk to me except for the occaisional crazy letter that my mother will send.. anyway my the family friend stated that he spoke to my mother and brother and they both told him that because i choose to leave the religion and in turn separate myself from the family it has caused my 80 something year old father a tremendous amount of stress and she is becoming sick and they're not sure how much longer he will be with us.. shoot felipe nothing they say really bothers me much anymore but the fact that i'm being accused of slowly killing my father because i've decided to make a decision that's better from my own family is actually quite frustrating to me.. give you hours after having of the conversation with our family friend i get a call from my older brother who then begins to be raped me and tells me that i should accept responsibility for the fact that i am the cause of our ejean father's poor health and that leaving jehovah causes problems not only for me but for those who love me.

  he is getting old and he will die because that is what happens to human beings. THAT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. He had wrong expectations and that is not your responsibility. They refuse to communicate with you and you are causing stress for living your life on your terms.

  Hard to muster up any sympathy for that kind of nonsense.

  Send him a sympathy card about how much you regret that he was under the illusion that he would never grow old and die.

  Geez.

  In need of your advice. November broadcasting 2017

  by pleaseresearch in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  so my mum asked me to watch the broadcast and to my astonishment i got through it without smashing my screen haha.. so i let her know what liars they are for saying they would never deliberately distort a quotation.. she is ok for me to give her some printouts of watchtower material where this has in fact happened, contry to what they say.. where should i start and what would be your best link, or way to approach this.

  i think this is a good opportunity of waking her up, if she can see that the broadcast has lied to her, she won't be happy.. any advice is you can give is so appreciated.. thanks everyone..

  Only share the ones that she can't justify with some vagueness clause. They have to be the real ones and there can be NO questionable ones in the mix. I know how they think and you do too-one example of yours that lacks credibilty will destroy the rest by association.

  I wish I was that bold and fearless. About anything, about everything. Everytime I say anything that is true(unpopular), it is deliberately misunderstood and I am shunned, ejected, removed and silenced. She has talent in being able to say what is true, and saying it in a way that others HEAR and UNDERSTAND her message. Good for Apostate Chick.

  last thursday i bunch of us working decided we were going to head down to the state fair and badge our way in to get a fletcher's corny dog for lunch.

  we had to go to a specific gate to park and show our credentials to get in.

  this meant driving halfway around the perimeter of the entire fairgrounds.

  Classic situation at Circuit Assembly Day

  by freddo in

  2. friends

  so i've just skived off to the car park half way through our assembly day - what a classic morning.. i'm sat right behind an early-teen kid with some sort of special needs (autistic?

  ) who's sat with what looks like his late-30's harassed single parent mother.

  (or married to an unbelieving mate?

  A lot of people with special needs are not lacking in intelligence at all, but do have a different filtering system and ways of interacting with their surroundings. I think the condescension can add an extra layer of difficulty because both parties can become angry and frustrated. I think the young man was being real when most of us are faking assent with our passive silence.

  since me and my siblings had to go to service every saturday, and i mean every saturday, i missed out on something so normal as watching good ole saturday morning cartoons from the 70's and 80's.

  i remember wishing i could stay home just one saturday so i could watch cartoons.

  but noooo we had to go save lives!

  Taking home my art masterpieces that my mom would have rejected. My school bus driver ,(the recipient) probably talked about the nasty watchtower church for years. A kid afraid to give a school project to their own mom? That's just wrong.
