  i know this is true every week, and i say it all the time, and i know blondie will be doing her review later, but.... today's watchtower was bat-shit crazy!.

  i knew it was going to be a bizzare one just reading it, but the comments at the meeting took it even further.

  i can't post all the crazy ones, but in summary what they were saying was:.

  Some people don't feel comfortable talking to Witnesses at the door, so we can direct them to the jw.org website."

  I bet they went though all this mental gymastics just to say something about their website

  What if you simply IGNORED being disfellowshipped and continued as before?

  i know this is an odd idea.

  maybe it is even silly.. but, i do daydream..... .

  what if you were informed that you are disfellowshipped and you flashed a huge smile and said, "nah.".

  Unless you are causing a disruption in their program they can not do a damn thing to you. A KH is a public place. Imagine calling the police on someone who is trying to be friendly????

  Reaching Loved Ones Stuck in a Cult: Reciprocal Letter Writing

  by 00DAD in

  i've been toying with an idea that i think just might have some legs.

  so here i am trotting it out for all of you to consider and comment upon.

  for many of us, we are extremely frustrated by the fact that we have no way to communicate with our loved ones still stuck in the organization.

  Ok I know I am a devil,

  How about using the same system to send apostate information without any reference as to who is from except for the post mark? Now that would be fun! As you may guess I am beyond trying to reach those who shun me. I think it would be rather spooky to get a bunch of letters from all over the world. You know how paranoid they all are.

  w92 7/15: "It is the obligation of all JWs to hate apostates"

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  today i was doing some research for a new article, and i came across the following quote which succeeded in raising my eyebrows.... "the obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates.

  our attitude toward apostates should be that of david, who declared: 'do i not hate those who are intensely hating you, o jehovah, and do i not feel a loathing for those revolting against you?

  with a complete hatred i do hate them.

  i asked if they were witnesses.

  Welcome Julia,

  I feel sorry for men who have wives in the Printing company, but wives with husbands still in like you are much more powerful on their man. Being a born in and sexually suppressed, I had no idea the power of a woman. Turn up the heat on his love life and he will follow you everywhere.

  Welcome to the board....

  by BlindersOff1 in

  please give any examples you've heard of jws verbalizing cognitive dissonance , delusional reasoning .

  in other words crazy jw logic .like.

  one jw mother recently told her son " even if you did have proof it wasn't the truth, i wouldn't want to read it".

  I have a fairly good one, but on the other side:

  "If I have to live with this bunch for eternity, I don't want to live" That is the gospel truth for me.
