"did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers that stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become maturbators later on?".
what sick fu... writing this article thought the the average person did this to keep kids quiet..
Funchback, that's too funny! It's especially funny because I can see them writing exactly that.
From the same Washtowel article: "Sisters, when you wipe after doing your business, take care that you do not wipe so hard as to arouse yourselves. Some have chosen to avoid wiping altogether so as to flee from unclean desires. Should you fall into unclean habits, report said habits to your ever loving elders in elaborate detail so they can get off."
so in an effort to relieve some pressure here are what i term the low-lites of yesterday's assembly that i had to endure for the sake of family still in and my progressing fade.
apologies in advance for being pretty long winded.. these may not all be the actual words used, but the ones i use are close, and they pretty well say what was said from the platform.. right off the bat in the opening prayer the praises of the governing body were spoken.
thanking the g.b.
Doubting Bro, wasn't the supposed reason behind ending the Book Study so the dear brothers and sisters could save on gas money? I was gone by then so don't know firsthand but that's what my JWmom told me. Now here they are telling members "Gee, we sold your hall so now you have to drive 20 miles away." No concern about the high price of gas. No concern about the possible dangers of traveling in nasty winter weather. Just "Suck it up, Buttercups!"

Well, shadow, we're talking about a magazine article written for a largely Western audience. And around here, any adult caught stroking their babies' privates would be in jail. Or I would hope so anyway.
This is a good example of the WT's obsession with sex, sex, and more sex. It's almost pornographic the way they write or discuss various sexual practices in detail. I really think someone in the Writing Department gets off on this crap.
did anybody see the service meeting video this week?.
australian sister was sexually abused as a child and thought of ending her life at 14 years old, sometime later jw's call on her father who accepts a study and eventually the whole family becomes witnesses, life gets much better as the sister immerses herself in pioneering etc, she still has some dark days but prayer along with going for walks and swimming has helped her cope with bad memories of child abuse, the new system (just around the corner) will completely fix everything......... i'm dumbfounded, the hypocrisy has literally rendered me speechless......comments anybody?.
This is no accident. This is the WT propaganda machine trying to undo whatever damage might have been done by believers who have heard or read about the ARC. Sick. Disgusting.
And notice they don't suggest victims of child rape get professional care. Nope. "Pioneer and all will be cured!" "Wait on Jehovah! One of these days, someday in the future, he'll wave his magic wand and make everything ok." Makes my blood boil!
i think the single biggest mistake the governing body have made in the last 10 years has to be creating jw broadcasting and putting their gb members on there... on a weekly basis too.. when i was a kid, i had no idea who the governing body were, what their names were or what they looked like.
there was one or two long term pioneers that knew the names of two of them but that was about it.. when i was about 10yo i imagined they looked something like this:.
ahh.... those learned men with a lifetime of bible knowledge just oozing out of their very hearts.
This while venture into the wicked WWW could be a two-edged sword. Yes, the truly hardcore glassy-eyed zealots will eat this poo up and beg for more. They won't question because that would require thinking and their brains' thought centers have rusted up. That sort won't see anything wrong and will merrily carry on as usual.
But, there are others in the JW ranks who WILL see something wrong. If I were still in, I'd have been offended by Tight Pants Tony, embarrassed by Lett, annoyed by Splane. The broadcasts would have been a big help in getting me out. Too bad it wasn't around way back when. Sigh. But others will be helped to wake up by the broadcasts. And if outsiders are exposed to these videos and see the GB in all their idiocy, they're a lot less likely to join. 'True believers' can keep the whole thing ticking over only so long without fresh blood.

The writer was probably a pedophile writing about one of his sick fantasies.

Don't you just love it when the CO sneaks an important tidbit into the afternoon session when he knows no one is going to catch it? He brilliantly snuck in the hint that soon KHs are going to be sold out from under the R&F between idiotic comments on shunning and how good the little drones were being. He knew damn well at that point in the day people are too tired/bored/hungry/desperate to leave that they aren't paying attention.
Well, dubs, that was a hint as to your future. Your halls sold and you forced to waste to YOUR time and gas money (oh wait! You don't have gas money cause you don't have a job!) driving long distances to share a hall. All so the GB can have Apple watches and fly in business class. On the up side, you will now have more travel time to sit and wonder why the hell you're doing this. With any luck, you'll wake up.
i turned in my letter of disassociation on september 18, 2001 but it was 9/11 that showed me what the witnesses really feel about human lives and the future wished for.. i was in limbo after my wife of 27 years left me on july 30, 2001. she knew i wasn't buying the jw program anymore.
she told me she come back to me when "i got my head straighten out about god and the church".. so for 40 days i was in limbo.
i stopped going to meetings.
What's ironic to me is that my mom is a fairly compassionate soul. It hurts her to see people suffering from natural disasters and war, terrorism and accidents. But she doesn't seem to grasp what she's really praying for when she prays for her Paradise. She's praying for something a billion times worse than 9/11 or Katrina. She's praying for billions of people to die including: her own mother and brother; her only niece; one of her daughters; that daughter's husband and stepson; numerous friends and neighbors.

I was at work that day, listening to it over the radio. I got home that evening to a call from my Jovamom begging me to come back to the KH because this was 'the beginning of the Great Tribulation'. I refused. What good would it have done? According to their doctrines, I'd have been doomed because Jah won't accept any new recruits or returning sheep after the Tribulation starts.
i had been watching handels "messiah' on computer.
i mentioned this to my wife (uber) and got a "oh oh!
" reply so it looks like this most wonderful work of choral music is proscribed.
No "Amazing Grace' or "O Holy Night'. I listened to them anyway.
