  JW's are refrigerator magnets.......

  by Lied2NoMore in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  wt has deified the a/c outlet as "god".

  the cord carrying power from the outlet to the refrigerator is the "gb" .

  the inner workings that make the freezer and cooler, well...."cold" are the legal dept, writing dept, and to save ink, the wt "bureaucracy" that stores and dispenses "food at the proper time".... and the body of the refridgerator which insulates and embodies all the contents of said refigerator is the "organization".... loyal jw's simply need to "stick" themselves somewhere on the refrigerator, or "organization" wherever there is room, and salvation is assured.. so its a large refrigerator, because some 7 million have affixed themselves to the "organization" or "cooler of salvation"........ but as you look on the floor, several have fallen off, and more have been peeled off by wt df / shunning policy.. so watch your step, someone may get trampled!.

  brother of the hawk, newly enlightened & gojira, recorded an elder's meeting on 5/7/03.

  both does a great job of defending me and making the elders look foolish!.

  thank you raypublisher/jj and jwstruggle for the awesome job you did on it.. follow up story was not recorded but we will post it here hopefully over the weekend.. enjoy, it's pretty hilarious how they try to control us and come after me on a work of fiction!.

  Don't you know a JW certainly cannot write a book, fiction or otherwise.... The Printing Company hates competition.

  It got to be hard being a JW today!!!!

  i can understand why they think the end is near.. in the old days, one was proud to be a jw (well maybe.

  not for you young ones) but for us that came in the 60,s.

  and 70,s, we felt no shame in our game.

  It was a whole different world to have grown up in a JW family. We lived and breathed the Witness lifestyle. We were a lot of things, but hypocrites we were not. Not so among the Witnesses today.

  I have noticed this as well. We walked the talk and towed the line. There was not one aspect of life that was not affect by JW beliefs. And.. if you even appeared to be stepping out of line.. in the back room you'd go! Remember: Sisters cannot disagree even with their eyes?

  I also believe they are becoming more of a social club than anything else. When I was taking my elderly JW mom back and forth to her meetings, just dropping her off and picking her up, I couldn't help but notice all the little kids decked out on a Wednesday night and carrying a matching bookcase just like their parents'. Shoot... before I left I brought my young son in his PJs because he would fall asleep and it was easier to plop him in bed. No one ever said anything because I was there and dressed the right way.

  In the recent 5 years it does seem the WBTS is targeting the very, very young with their videos, "family worship", and great need to make little adults out of 5 year olds. Anyone else see this?

  Hey, this article was written November 6, 2012, either just before or just after the recent presidental election. Since then the Dow has risen to 15,000+. Not to say that with Bernackie's money printing there will not be any consequences. There will be.

  Maybeso,

  The Chinese have the same word for the two words, opportunity and crisis. How about looking at your very real crisis as a very real opportunity? The whole world is now your oyster and you have an opener in every pocket!

  Oh it does keep getting better. I think it took me 3 years to really believe I actually had Tuesday and Thursday nights just for me and family...to the point where I did not stop and think of meeting first. The weekends were easy to get used to.

  Oh I hear ya recovering. I've worked at many a hospitals as a psy social worker in the inner city of Detroit. War zone, and yet we can't get any accountability even from the mayor's office. Staffing would be so low they'd have me on standby for chest compressions and I'm just a social worker.

  Jehovah's Witnesses - The religion for the lazy zealot

  by sosoconfused in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  after taking a few steps back and really taking a look at the really zealous people and fairly intelligent people i knew in the j.w.

  community and adding myself into this lump of people i realized something.

  for anyone who wants to be seen as a very religious person - completely dedicated to god(or atleast give that impression to onlookers), this is the perfect religion.. .

  i usually shop for most things at wal mart but i have learned some things at publix and kroger are cheaper than wal mart.

  if you are conscious shopper, tell me what things do you buy at each store to save some money!

  i am thinking about being a member of bj, if you know of any good deals at bj, let me know too.

  This is the same response I am getting from others who dare talk to me. I told 5 people about the July 2013 WT and 3 responded back that they were done. One said, "This is just too transparent".
