@dubstepped Gosh, you've given me flashbacks to the earlier Watchtower and Golden Age issues where they'd sling around all sorts of bizarre (and derogatory) theories about Jehovah's purpose for the blacks.

Something about the look on Tony's face tells me his underpants are too tight.
I'm not sure if it's big in Western culture, but when I was younger, we had these German books by the Brothers Grimm. And I swear, every witch looked just like Tony does in this picture. Total "hexe".
To translate into more familiar, yet disturbing characters...

How many are PIMO ??
by Phizzy ini know we cannot answer this, how many are physically in, mentally out (pimo), but i heard an amazing piece of news the other day.. an ex-p.o and ex-elder, a long time regular pioneer, and when i knew him a stalwart believer, went for a drink with another jw who has actually left, but is not df or anything.. in the course of conversation he came out with this bombshell "well, i am actually an atheist now, i just go along to keep my wife happy".. i also heard of a number of youngsters that i know personally who are simply living their life as they want, whilst making sure they don't get df'd for family and social reasons.. if as it seems the pimo's are a huge number, could there be a huge " awakening" where they all realize they are in a huge group, and they all say " eff it, lets call it a day on all the jw s**t ".
?.
wishful thinking, but.....just possible ?.

To quote cognitive psychologist, Steven Pinker:
"If dissenters are punished, and can anticipate they're going to be punished, then you might have a situation where no one actually believes something, but everyone believes that everyone else believes it. Therefore, no one is willing to be the little boy that says the emperor is naked."

Try Not To Vomit When You Read Todays Text
by pale.emperor intuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.
5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.
this is especially true of the elders who are taking the lead.

" We do not idolize well-known representatives of the Christian congregation or react in their presence as if angels were standing nearby."
That is such a bizarre thing for them to write. Shows the GB's perception of what goes through publishers' heads when they stroll among those mere mortals. The Society has likened the GB as wrongly regarded with celebrity status in one WT a few years ago. Now they've bumped it up to angelic status. What's next? "We should try our hardest not to bow before the Governing Body as though they are manifestations of Jehovah himself. Instead, we should humbly lick the soles of their shoes."

"Thank God I'm Athiest" podcast. Episode #325. So similar to JW experiences!
by stuckinarut2 inepisode 325 of "thanks god i'm athiest" has a great segment that is so reminiscent of jw judicial committee judgement!.
starting at approx.
51 minute mark, the guys highlight the example of a mormon lady who faced their equivalent judicial judgement for "apostasy" for "not being obedient, and negatively speaking publicly" about her ordeal.. it also highlights the culture of their insular community (so similar to jws insular community!).

@stuckinarut2 Oh yeah, I forgot about that! She was "done" for...
dum, dum, duuuuuummmmm: BRAZEN CONDUCT. Not heeding her superior's "counsel"!
How dare she rock the boat.

"Otherwise some may associate with us only for personal advantage."
Boom. Freudian slip exposed. You hear that, folks? Becoming a Witness is not of any personal advantage for you. "Bestlifeever only applies to the Governing Body. The rest of you rank and file can rot.
