A beard? Where I live when I was still full in I was hauled into the back room and pretty well ordered to trim, thin, and shorten my mustache, or else. I had the typical Marlboro Man mustache, and they thought I should have the pencil line shorter than the corner of my mouth mustache. Kind of like that goober on the big screen of last years convention that had a Hitler mustache. That was just another straw added to the camels load that finally broke it's back!

Now that is is some sick s*^t!
by OneFingerSalute inso the bible reading talks about some "good" appointed man who valued the office more than his wife and turned her over to the crowd to be repeatedly raped until she died.. then the sick hoser dismembers her and sends the body parts around the nation.
later the "faithful" jews from eleven tribes go up to do battle with the one "bad" tribe at god's okay and suffers defeat...twice!
finally the third time god lets them win.. wt says that we have to realize that women were expendable in those days.

for dialogue can you give some references to the articles? Thanks
*** w60 9/1 p. 524 Abraham, “Father of All Those Having Faith” ***
Both Abraham and Sarah recognized the fact that in their day women were considered expendable.
I'll have to find the other references. I couldn't believe the warped viewpoint that was presented, at least that is the way I read it.

WT says that we have to realize that women were expendable in those days. The "good" guy let his wife be raped and murdered because he valued his appointed office. And of course the "faithful" thousands who died listening to their OT leader were only allowed to die so the rest could prove they really wanted to go to war with their fellow Jews.
No wonder the JDubya's are such sick freaks, salivating at the thought of billions being turned into human hot dogs. They see nothing wrong with god letting his faithful servants die at the drop of a hat just to test them. What if humans treated their children like that? Oh wait, sorry, they do in WT land. Sacrificing innocent children on the altar of pedophilia!

Do you feel bad throwing away literature?
by stuckinarut2 inso do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.

Didn't bother me a bit when I loaded up three large trash bags of books, and assorted mags. When I was asked by a well-meaning but somewhat intellectually challenged uber-dub why I was throwing away all those spiritual treasures I told them it was because they were all now "apostate" teachings as "nu-lite" had changed the "truth".
He didn't get it!

Is this what the society imagines will be above that 'secret hiding room' in the basement?

Please explain.
It is not clear to me that the people are not witnesses. How do you come to that conclusion based upon the image?
None of the men are wearing the GB ordered suits and ties. No Payless dress shoes. The woman is wearing tennis shoes, not flat, plain Payless dress shoes, and she is not wearing the GB mandated mid-calf length "modest" skirt with a high collared sack with sleeves.
And the most obvious sign they are not JDubya's. . . no jdubya dot (B)org pendants, lapel pins, or stickers to be seen.

Are we seeing the beginning of a mass exodus out of her?
No, not by a long ways. As long as there are people who do not think rationally, who fall victim to the love bombing, who think that ever changing interpretations of the Bible, who believe seven imperfect men are the sole mouthpiece of God himself there will be no mass exodus.

This made for an interesting read. However the WTB&T$ will never admit to those accusations. The claim is, "We in no way deny anyone the "freedom" of choice. There will be consequences for those choices though."
Never have they denied anyone the choice of leaving. They do not even deny still in family members the choice to associate with ones who leave the church. They also do not deny the "choice" of "good" JDubya's to have nothing to do with someone who has left. That is their get out of jail free card. They will never claim or admit to promotion of shunning. They just strongly encourage the "sheep" to do so, all the while claiming that it is the R&F who make that choice. That absolves them of responsibility for the actions of the amah-arets. Just like it was the R&F who "ran ahead" and assumed that the Big A was coming in 1975.
