i was just thinking of something i read recently, a thread about the district convention talk, that mentioned how 'apostates' are always picking at 'the organization'.
i just had a thought about that.. pick up any copy of the watchtower or awake!
or any other publication the watchtower society publishes, and more than likely, in every single one of them, there will be several statements made against all other christian religions, all religions in general, or the scientific community so far as it conflicts with jehovah's witnesses' doctrines.
We should all know by now that it's perfectly normal for them to pick at things but o ok for anyone else to do it.
I bet if you asked the GB about real truth they'd say, "No, no real truth here, who told you that? We're not interested in real truth, we no speaka truthanese."
boo!.
some of the utterly ridiculous comments that i've read on jwtalk.net:.
'i pray fevently jehovah will sanctify his name.
My questions to these idiotic posters, well all witlesses, is this,
If jaybooger is protecting his org. and personally keeping it clean, would these people be allowed to wonder freely inside of his "house"? And if jaybooger and his org. really wanted to protect children, and the R&F for that matter, why would it be let go at all if someone like this was discovered in your midst?
What do you have to say about that?
Quite a conundrum you've put yourself in isn't it?
ol' sparlock won't go away, he's just giving the podium to the candace conti story for the moment.
gosh they have a lot of lawsuits going on, blocking use of sparlock on the internet, blocking the making of sparlock or caleb items for sale, the candace story, and they just came out of the australia lawsuit where they admitted the faithful and discreet slave doesn't exist, and britain was looking in to hate crimes for their calling apostates mentally diseased, and what went on in brazil.
boy i think they're getting from all corners!
Uh-oh.
Looks like donations for the world wide "work" is including an awful lot of legal fees these days.
Maybe they should set up a dummy corporation that either makes sparlock merchandise or sells licenses to companies to produce sparlock products, because it looks like their gonna need a whole lot more than the measly millions they're pullin' in off of the poor-ass rank & file.
Hypocritical assholes.

they posted on their media page the story and that they are appealing.
they are sounding all vicitimized.
Do they really think we're gonna believe that THEY are the victim?
Even my Mom, a devout dub, doesn't think they are; so who do they think they're fooling?
It's just sofa-king disgusting.
well hello everyone.. after some thought, i realized that i've created a middle world for myself, that is neither jw, nor included in the other 99% of the population.
in fact, living here in jwn is like a cong sometimes.
the rumours, the gossip, the clicks, it's all here, if that's what u want.. what's happened to me is that i'm almost in a jw state of mind with the small group mentality.
Sorry to see you go, I always looked forward to reading your posts.
Good luck and may you find what you're searching for.
Best wishes, DLL
i was rasied a jw, and today was my first official time gambling.
i placed a bet on the horses and won $15 dollars.. i also completed an application to get my gun license, and joined a local gun club.. i'm also thinking of joining the local martial arts lessons with my son.. three things i've always wanted to try, but not allowed as a jw..
WOO HOO!
we are always urged to "make sure of all things", namely, that anything we preach or teach is verifiable and true.
especially when we are referring to the bible.. at our convention, two things which came from the platform made me cringe, especially as one of the statements came from a regular and experienced convention speaker.
first; "over a quarter of a million new brothers and sisters were baptized last year - doesn't this show love on jehovah's part that he is allowing time for such ones to get to know him".
Why should they stop it when all the little birdie witlesses gobble it up like birdseed on an iceberg.
They know exactly what they're doing, they just hope they have you conned enough not to notice.

notice from her comments that this woman is a very well-indoctrinated christian.
in her world view this is as close to demon possession.
Religionists, Christians and especially JW's love to say the best trick the devil plays is making you think he doesn't exist.
To that I say, and the best trick religion plays is making you think he does.
Think about it, quite sobering isn't it?

deadlocked or not, the priest sex-abuse jury did its job.
philadelphia daily news.
The fact that the WTBT$ is being publicly shamed, and not the Catholics, is just fabulous.
Huge victory won for the abused and a massive humiliating loss for the accused
Catholics? No
Jehovah's Witnesses? Yes
Priceless!
now, we realize things are tough right now for you guys, but...you are telling the world how unfair the recent damages awarded against you are because he was not in a position of responsability "this is the first time that an organization was found responsible for the alleged misdeeds of a member who held no position of leadership or authority''.
11 the second question asks the candidate, first of all, if he understands that his baptism serves to identify him as one of jehovahs witnesses.
after undergoing immersion, he becomes an ordained minister who bears jehovahs name.
Awe SNAP!
How's that grave commin' wash-towel? Is it gettin' comfy in there?
Great Post OZ! They just need to keep talkin' and they'll bury themselves soon enough.
