  J.W. Women Should Stop Wearing Mascara!

  by The Searcher in

  the wtbts/ org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a bible truth/principle and what does not.

  example: it-1 p. 319 birthday - ".....there is no indication in the scriptures that faithful worshipers of jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.

  the bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of pharaoh of egypt and herod antipas.

  Welcome P.A.B.

  The hardest thing to do is get a J.W. to "step outside" the J.W. box for 5 minutes.

  I told an elder & his wife today about the Australian Royal Commission. Reaction? "Even government agencies will lie!!"

  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

  The WTBTS/ Org dictates to its subservient followers what constitutes a Bible truth/principle and what does not.

  Example: it-1 p. 319 Birthday - ".....there is no indication in the Scriptures that faithful worshipers of Jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays. The Bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of Pharaoh of Egypt and Herod Antipas."

  The Org's cast-iron "scriptural reasoning" - that any act/practice/celebration which the Bible records as only false worshipper having done, must be pagan and sinful - should be applied in every case.

  2 Kings 9:30 says, "When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes with black paint and adorned her head and looked down through the window."

  Therefore, the WTBTS should warn every baptized sister that applying mascara will now be a disfellowshipping offence!

  "Did you feel Shocked? Betrayed? Lost? Doubtful? Etc..."

  All of the above.....................but then replaced with anger for accepting what I was being told to accept................. and now replaced with anger & frustration at those blinded ones who are being bled by the parasitic Conglomerate!

  according to charity commission records - http://apps.charitycommission.gov.uk/accounts/ends60/0001065860_ac_20120331_e_c.pdf - the chelsea & kensington kingdom hall in the centre of london had in 2012, "funds-on-deposit arrangement to branch" which amounted to 220,000.. i wonder how much they still have "on deposit", and how the fleeced sheep in that congregation are feeling now?

  Plans for huge Jehovah's HQ take shape

  http://www.chelmsfordweeklynews.co.uk/news/11227290.plans_for_huge_jehovah_s_hq_take_shape/.

  its going to be a real beautiful place when its finished.. they are going for quality over quantity.

  it used to be accommodation for a few thousand permanent residents, now its looking like less than a thousand permanent with the possibility of a few thousand more in temporary accommodation should the need arise.. some say the plans are going to be like a garden of eden in england :) i mean they had farming in london over the years but this is going to be epic what they are planning for temple farm at chelmsford.. they are planting thousands (literally) of fruit trees, including tropical fruits in huge green houses, huge vines yards and then the same basic farming activities as before.

  Welcome Pandx - So sorry to hear of your distressing treatment. Perhaps once you start researching some our topics here, you'll be so glad not to have been reinstated. Keep digging, and help your wife to see what's going on.

  #1 - Do not ignore them, and don't offer excuses - build a wall and stay behind it at all times! http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/428170001/fading-beginners-guide

  #2 - Demand that they give your husband the name/s of his accuser/s, and tell them straight that you do not dignify someone's gossip by replying to it. Your husband should tell them that he wants to follow the Scriptural counsel on how to resolve this misunderstanding. (Matthew 5:23,24 & Matthew 18:15)

  #3 - If they try to assert "their" involvement in the matter, your husband should respond by telling them that he will write to the Service Department at Bethel to ask for their opinion on how this should be properly dealt with, and he does not want to discuss it further until he's received their guidance!

  Don't give these idiots any information whatsoever - because they will pervert it and turn it against you both.
