@LV101=> This is just another marketing ploy of the Borg. They are very anxious to keep those who are PIMI from considering leaving and trying to convert Non-Dubs by no doubt showing that "We are the happiest people on earth". Pathetic, from actual charlatans running a corporation disguised as a religion!

Why the BIG 4.5 day elder "school"?

by eyeuse2badub in

just wonderin' if anyone has heard of anything about something big going down in the borg?

good friend of mine just told me today that he will be attending a 4.5 day elder "training school" all nest week!

the "special" elder "schools" are usually only 2-3 days.. lots of dumbing down coming?.

This "arrangement" will motivate elduhs who are to a certain point humble haughty and elduhs who are haughty arrogant, turning into el-thugs-bullies!

Ending Bible Study

by Maria Nieves in

i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

Maria, I like my other fellow posters are very happy that you saw the "light" about this organization; but one thing I would like to really suggest which would be very helpful to you which was no doubt helpful to others here on this forum and other similar forums re: WT: Please read this book=> "CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE" by Ray Franz.

Ray Franz was a former Governing Body member of the Jehovah's Witnesses who wrote about his experiences within the hub of this organization at World Headquarters many years ago. Seeing the inner workings of this caused him what was really going on there. I truly feel that if you check out this book (although you have decided to discontinue your "indoctrination sessions" with the JWs) will solidify your decision to not be converted in that "religion".

Also, I would like to suggest various YouTube videos to watch=> ExJW Critical Thinkers, Marcus Vaughn, JW Rebuttal, ChristianKatja, plus many others--a plethora of these to choose from, though all of these people can enlighten you re: the JWs. Good Luck and Congrats!

When you were an active JW, did you ever have dealings with a pyramid scheme?

by Tameria2001 in

i'm not sure why this memory popped up, and i was wondering if any others, when they were still active jw had dealings with a pyramid scheme involving other witnesses in the organization?

at the time it was 1993, and my husband and i were still newlyweds.

once in a while, we would attend a neighboring congregation because that was where he grew up, and some of his family was still attending there at the time.

Jephthah's daughter : A shining example of singleness

by Diogenesister in

really watchtower?

jephthah's daughter as an example of what a girl wants to be when she grows up??.

a burnt offering?!!.

Like I mentioned this a number of times before: The GB doesn't give a damn about the status (present and future) about single women in the Borg. They rather see them very sad, lonely and especially depressed, Stepfordly doing everything to make them, their helpers plus those they personally hold dear happy and comfortable (financially, that is!). In fact, IMPO, I bet those 8 old geezers are laughing all the way to the bank about how they are able to subliminally influence a nice amount of single women to be lifetime spinsters, while they themselves are able to marry multiple times while living the life of Riley!!
