If you're too dense to understand that then perhaps you belong back in the truth.
In the what?
i'm sure many of you are aware of the jwtalk site, a message board which has yet to succumb to apostasy (give it time).. some of the forums there are visible to the public, and i've seen some crazy stuff.
here is a sampling:.
"satan is really trying his best to make things worst for the witnesses, knowing the 6,000 years is almost up, from eve's creation!".

i think the wt will never give up this practice unless forced to by the courts, even if they are financially failing terribly they will keep it because the moment they do get rid of it the whole thing will collapse even faster and they know it(or afraid of it happening).
they have painted themselves into a corner of financial ruin.

The jws still view the Bible as more important than or above organisation, even by representatives of their organisation. Only until they reinterpret "remove the wicked man among yourselves" as a removal from congregation rather than family...
pomo, the org literally re-wrote the bible. Lots of things they do contradict the bible but the members just "wait on Jehovah". The GB is their God.

Ask many JWs and they'll claim they're not being forced to shun us, but they shun us because they want to. They've actually convinced themselves it's their own decision. Like many of their rules they think that it's not about being allowed or not allowed, it's about loyalty to Jehovah.
Of course they have free will, but acting upon that free will will have repercussions for them.
december 6, 2017 to all congregations re: study of jesus—the way.
jesus—the way, the truth, the life.
Oh man im so glad i dont have to sit and study any of those stupid books. Back in the day, the Greatest Man book was actually interesting... until you got to the group, then they sucked all the interest out of it.
so yesterday was the midweek meeting - the first of the month for december so instead of locals doing the little talk skits we get the on screen shadow puppets.. after each one the ms taking the item asks the congregation for "positive" comments.. part way through i get a text from a pimo brother enduring the show which reads thus (and i quote word for word ...).
"it's like listening to a bunch of people from a mental institution.
".
hey everyone.
i have a question and i hope i'm not confusing this with something else i heard.
while watching ex jw videos on youtube many of them talk about how noah's ark and the flood didn't happen and it's impossible.
The replica they tried to build that houses the Creationist Museum is proof that it cant have been built.
They used modern machines, modern methods and even then they had to fortify it with metal girders and concrete. Any shipbuilder will tell you that a wooden vessel of that size wouldnt be seaworthy. It would bend in the water and would be smashed to smitherines as soon as the big waves come.
There's a reason the really big ships are built out of steel!
the life saving message of death and gloom brought to a town centre near to you!.
A picture speaks a thousand words.
No ones interested in them.
No ones interested in their message.
No ones interested in what they're doing.
For all the public knows they could be waiting for a bus or for someone to pick them up.
i awoke in the middle of the night to banging on my door.
i went to the door half asleep and asked who was there.
i heard “police.” my dog was going crazy, so i slipped outside to talk to them.
Whenever the police are parked in my street my immediate thought is "what have I done that the police could know about?" and immediately hide my stash.
i recently asking this women out who here has problems with women after being a jw.
i still do.
i will try to talk with with women..
I find the best way to ask them out is to simply say "we'll hang out". And that's it. Say it like you hang out with lots of people all the time anyway, like it's the most normal thing in the world because you're social life is just brimming. Even if it isnt, she doesnt know that does she?
"hey it was cool to chat, and i gotta go now but listen, we'll hang out ok?"
Done. Get the number. Hug close. Leave.
I watched this last night, thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd never visit myself either but glad i got to see what they had there.
Credit card machines... really? How very Catholic of them.
