Desperate JWs At My Door Today

by TOTH in

i have been in terrible pain for several days now.

i don't know what i did but my low back hurts like hell and there is a lump like a knot there.

nothing had helped until i used my wife's tens unit.

TOTH Sorry to hear of your excruciating pain; please go get yourself checked out and don't think it will all go away. I woke up one morning about a year and a half ago with the worst neck pain imaginable, I couldn't think of anything I had done but was in so much pain I really didn't care. When I went to the chiropractor he said I have a bulged disk in my neck; I said "what? I didn't do anything to hurt myself", he said, "sometimes things like this lay under the surface for along time and then just pop up out of nowhere".

I'm also sorry you had to deal with your evil-MIL (again); you can bet there was another reason she dumped your dad's appointment on you, besides tract work. Either there's something' else going on, on the down low, or she just wanted to be an evil bitch and make you suffer by hauling your pain ridden body out to take care of your father. Witlesses love to profess, “the Bible says to take care of one another”, however when it comes to dumping infirm one's on unbelieving family to further their interests then magically it's ok. WTF!

Enough of that.

Hope you feel better soon.

Could the Governing Body be the "Evil Slave" of Matt. 24:48-51?

by matt2414 in

48 but if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, my master is delaying, 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites.

there is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.

" mt 24:48-51 nwt.

Well, does the gobbling body-snatcher lovingly and warmly embrace it's members in security making them feel protected and watched over or do they brow-BEAT their "slaves" into submission and eject (spiritually kill) any who don't uniformly obey?

The answer to that question will, in turn, answer yours as well.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm an adult that doesn't live at home; however I am close to my family and also live close to my family. My father and I own a business together, so hard as I may try, my parents still know every Goddamn move I make. This is the reason for more covert ops, and don't worry I've quite an arsenal of tactics up my sleeve; believe me too when the time is right I'll hightail it outta this stoopid cult.

Out of the 20 kids I grew up with only 6 are still in and three of those lead double lives.

Years ago information wasn't as readily available or easily obtained. Past generations haven’t always been able to check up on things, but that’s not the case anymore. Gen. y, x and beyond have free flowing available fast private information; they can find out anything they want, at anytime and do it without prying eyes. Most kids are pretty smart and when the “what the hell is wrong with this picture” light goes on they peek out from behind the wash-towel veil simply because they can. And when the cat gets let out of the bag it’s pretty hard to put it back.

red meat: what makes it unhealthy?.

What makes any of you think that such studies are not padded, or backed, by an entity looking to cash in on results that "prove their point". In other words look at who is testing, funding and benefiting/profiting from the study before you accept it, or pass judgment.

The fact is when we eat anything that's not in its original form, IT IS UNHEALTHY.

Even plant-based foods are unhealthy if they are genetically modified, non-organic, cooked or processed; the same is true with any meat.

We are the only species that cooks and processes it's food, thus making it unhealthy.

Verbal definitions exclusive to the WT?

by Chariklo in

i've been meaning to ask this for a while.. just what, exactly, do the jw's mean by "shepherding"?.

being a naive ex-/ or rather lapsed catholic i assumed that "shepherding" calls were the same thing as pastoral visits by a priest, which involve basically a friendly cup of tea/coffee and a chat, or a visit in hospital to the sick.. it's gradually dawning on me that there's not a lot that's pastoral about "shepherding" visits by the jw's.

reading through stfog, i have a feeling that their brand of shepherds are a mixture of policeman and agents provocateurs.. similarly with "counsel", and "counselling".

Disillusioned Lost-Lamb

Whenever I think of shepherding calls, counsel or encouragement from the elderberries all I can hear is a whip cracking, beating us back in line.

Miles3:

I still "go out" because I'm in a small conned-green-nation, people notice, and my mom rides me like a rented donkey about going in service more, so I use these campaigns to throw the hounds off the scent. Month to month though, I stay "active" by just writing down a number and then telling everyone I "informal" witness; I know its all just a numbers game, so I give them a number, and for the record, unless someone answers the door and takes the invite, I don't leave one at the door; when we blanket the territory we usually go to doors alone, so I just pretend I left one.

I'm just doing what I gotta do to survive, for now.

Will non annointed be allowed on GB?

by hamsterbait in

jw
friends

notice in the "proclaimers " book that hayden covington resigned because "at that time it was understood that" non-annointed should not be part of the gb.. it's the "at that time" that sticks out to me.

in a witchtower study in the 90s (instead of kings and sulteans there will be sheiks) non-annointed would become assistants "given ones" to the annointed gb.. they have to know they cannot spin out the annointed only rule idefinitely, even though they are currently increasing exponentially.

eventually even the dumbest r&f has to realise there have been more than 144 000 involved with the borg since the 1870s.. do you think they will allow non annointed on the gb again somtime?

Disillusioned Lost-Lamb

Doesn’t matter.

If you meet the qualifications (you're a cranky old man who doesn't mind lying to, manipulating and misleading others) than all you have to do is say you're anointed and abracadabra you're in like sin.
