@stuckinarut2 I arrived late to the party and missed the days when Cedars would post on this forum. I don't know what went down with all this Cedarphobia, but I really love his work.

this latest video shows shot after shot of gb member mark sanderson helping/comforting/consoling/encouraging etc etc like he is some saint offering spiritual "gifts of mercy" - it seems that when mark decided to have himself videoed in this manner he forgot jesus words in matthew 6:1-4 .

@stuckinarut2 One thing you WON'T see a GB member do is lavishly and openly put their own money into the temple contribution boxes.

how does watchtower.org feel about this site for jehovah’s witnesses who want to find a partner?.

@pale.emperor You probably would have gotten more hits if you went under PHINEAS - the genital stabber. I know of one Circuit Overseer who would have swiped right on that account.

Today's Watchtowe Study, Child Baptism

by BluesBrother in

suffice to say that i fundamentally disagree with the point of this article, a cynical attempt to boost numbers.

it goes against bible precedent and their own long standing practice.

they timothy as an example of a youthfull christian, a young man.. sure but he was not baptized young .

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

If a kid is old to enough to decide to get baptized at the tender age of ten, then they are old enough to decide whether or not they want to get out of bed on Sunday mornings and go to meetings. There shouldn't be talks about the non-negotiable rule of parents bringing any children under their roof (even those in their late teens) to meetings.

Interview with an Apostate: Nic-MightyV8

by MightyV8 in

tell us a little about yourself and your family.. male, single, 62 yrs old.

adult adhd.

married in victoria moved back to western australia to start our lives far away from her parents as possible.. two kids, son 37 yrs old, daughter 34. both are married and still jws.

Hey, Nazi Lou - if you ever get the courage to click the link Nic messaged you and are reading this...

You're missing out on some quality family like the man who posted here. And there's nothing "special" about being a pioneer. You're a saleswoman for a billion-dollar corporation working at your own expense; the expense of your time, your energy, your kinship and your "perceptive powers trained to distinguish what is right from wrong" (Heb 5:14). Spoiler alert, sister: the WTBTS is demonstrably WRONG. Facts don't cease to exist because you're choosing to ignore them and shut out your own brother. Wake up, Gestapo Girl.

The Label Of "Apostate" And It's Effects

by pale.emperor in

in my psychology studies we've been examining the use of "labels" and how they influence peoples behaviour.

i sometimes wonder if the gb or their helpers know exactly what they're doing when it comes to psychological manipulation.. it's been observed that by labeling someone or something it changes your entire perception of that person or thing.

it colours it entirely, quite unfairly in some cases.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

@Desirous of Change: The Governing Body are "completely aware of what they are doing... They have a clear and determined plan."

I am SO glad someone finally said this. I agree wholeheartedly. This is carefully crafted manipulation and propaganda. One just has to look at the series of articles written by the Society warning AGAINST "worldly propaganda" and "manipulative techniques Satan's world uses" to know they are FULLY aware of what they're doing.

Furthermore, those in charge of discarding old publications or tampering with them to whitewash history (even the '75 drama that came out at a recent convention) are not ignorant of what they are doing.

I'm calling it: these men up the top are insidious, calculating and cunning. Some of you may think they're too dim-witted to carefully craft the divisiveness they've caused between JWs and everyone else in the world, but when you see the intricate legal wranglings and their masterful swapping of hats (for one issue in court, they hide behind religion/"Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses". For another issue, they front as a corporation. Recall how Gerritt Losch could honestly state he has nothing to do with "Watchtower"?)...

...You just can't assemble this monstrous cult by pure chance.
