friends

for a future project i'm searching for remarkable quotes of current and former gb members.. i've two personal, validated quotes:.

"sprechen sie deutsch?

" "ah, ein bisschen!

Ultimate Axiom

Most of them are quite old, but just in case you haven't seen them all before...

“I don’t want you to do anything with it for the next four years except pee” - Knorr. (Giving one of his “new boy” sex talks to some new arrivals, some of whom were women).

“I can replace any of you, with a 25 cent stamp” – Knorr. (Referring to Bethelites in general).

“It’s good to be here on Monday, it happens about once a week.” - Swingle. (At morning worship).

“So thank you Brother Couch for that announcement, it was given with sincerity and all the love in your heart. Yes time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all and especially to those with cars.” - Swingle. (At morning worship).

“If you have a tendency towards ‘apostasy’, get a hobby and keep yourself busy to keep your mind off of it. Stay away from deep Bible study to determine meanings of the scriptures.” - Klein. (At morning worship).

Inside Scientology and Escaping the Witnesses - Mon 24th channel 5

by not bitter in

jw
friends

thats it really.

uk channel 5 at pm mon 24th.. maybe its already been posted but sounds interesting.

Ultimate Axiom

I gave it eight out of ten, which is pretty good for a Channel 5 program. But it kind of amuses me when the professionals on cults speak of the fear factor that keeps people in a cult, and say things like, “Jehovah’s Witnesses threaten their followers, saying that if they leave they will go to hell when Armageddon comes”. It makes me wonder how much they actually know about the cults they deal with.

Jehovah's Witnesses Timeline To Judgement

by Timothy X in

hi there.

please take a moment to review the following information:.

http://www.pdf-archive.com/2015/08/21/the-key/.

Ultimate Axiom

Some things never cease to amaze me;

the amount of crap there is out there
the amount of time people spend producing it
and the amount of people that give it serious consideration

Oh well, I suppose I can't talk, I once gave what the Watchtower said serious consideration and wasted half my life as a result.

Summer Convention at Twickenham now gone, UK

by jookbeard in

i believe this is the first year that the uk wont have a summer dc at this historical old rugby stadium (which is now one of the finest arenas in the uk) the costs to rent it must be astronomical these days, and it appears they are having multiple dates at the excel arena in london plus milton keynes is being used , many memories for me from a baby onwards making the yearly trip there, the dusty old stadium, the long walks to the car parks, working on the field security, getting burnt to a crisp or being poured on, binoculars !

food tickets, meeting at the lion gates checking the talent, and on the final day drinking the local pub dry the barny arms, end of an era!

Ultimate Axiom

JB - The Wembley assembly was an international, so no Twickers DC anyway. And that was in 69, the year before I swallowed it all and got baptized. I only remember one DC being at Chrystal Palace, several years later. I left in 80, so there may have been others since then.

Ultimate Axiom

I remember Twickers very well too. But there was one year, back in the 70s, when there was no DC at Twickenham (can't remember the reason, but probably money). I had to make the pilgrimage from North London over to Chrystal Palace, which was a right pain.

Do or did the JW's believe dinosaurs were vegetarians?

by Crazyguy in

i thought at one time or maybe they still do believe that the dinosaurs were vegetarians?

Ultimate Axiom

When the dinosaurs had fulfilled their purpose, God ended their life. But the Bible is silent on how he did that or when.

Oddly enough, it's also silent on "whether" he did it - but let's not let truth get in the way of our beliefs.

Does This Mean JWs No Longer Point the Finger at Child Sexual Abuse in Other Religions?

by steve2 in

those who still attend meetings will be better placed to answer this question.

since the conti case - but likely some years before it became more widely known in ex-jw circles and beyond - there appear to have been no watchtower or awake news snippets on child sex abuse in the churches of christendom.

also, do rank and file still talk to householders about the churches of christendom's cover-ups of such abuse?.

Ultimate Axiom

Also, Watchtower July 1, 2012, page 5.

"Religion’s involvement in ... the toleration of child abuse has led even prayerful people to say, “I don’t believe in God.”"

Ultimate Axiom

Well this appeared in the Watchtower May 1, 2012, page 16, in a subsection called, "Is all religion good?"

"Many religious groups include sincere people who want to please God. ... Sadly, though, some people have used religion for evil purposes. ... Today, according to news reports, some religious leaders have ... been involved in child abuse. ... The Bible teaches that there are two types of religion—true religion and false religion. False religion does not teach the truth about God. ... Soon, God will bring a sudden end to religion that deceives and oppresses mankind."

Placement of KH

by rebelfighter in

from reading my previous post many of you know i am a worldly person and have been a life long child advocate.

my heart goes out to the jw children and women.

these last 5 months education here and jwfacts, jwstruggles, has been very enlightening.

Ultimate Axiom

I doubt you would have much to fear from JW paedophiles. They tend to target the kids of other Dubs, as access is so much easier, and because of the Witnesses phobia of bad publicity, they know there is very little chance they will be exposed (not to mention the two witness rule).
