the gb bit off more than they can chew.

they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.

as a result, they are in damage control mode.

A Complete lack of Empathy with a huge side order of Foulness !
by Thirteenth tribe in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
over the last few years i have experienced in general a lack of sincerity and empathy from jw's .. i won't lie 2 sisters i knew to be different and quite genuine ... all be it still sipping the 'cool aid' though.

but on the whole most brothers/sisters i've met couldn't really care less or just have no idea how to genuinely connect.

one sister asked me a year ago how things were with my husband (an un-believer) i replied " a bit strange right now" (in hindsight it was always made worse because i was in a cult!!

Overlapping Generation

2. beliefs
the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

Live by the sword, Die by the sword
by Thirteenth tribe in
1. jw
2. experiences
i may be on a diatribe now but something has came back to me tonight.. during my studies i was always told that "silence is compliance".

this would come up whilst i was 'putting on the new personality'.

i would be reminded of possible social situations or associations where if my integrity was at all compromised by someone else's standards -my silence to their un-christian actions would be deemed as compliance.

Just handed in my Disassociation letter
by Thirteenth tribe in
1. jw
2. experiences
tonight my dl was posted by hand by my husband (a worldly guy).

i had the luxury of being at work distracted whilst he posted it.

i have been baptised for just over 2 years and studied since 2010. i couldn't take it anymore, not just the zealous dislike/disgust for 'people in the world' (this includes my husband and 99% of my family btw) but the obvious.... the investigations into child sexual abuse.

Not One of them is missing
by pandorasbox1914 in
1. watchtower
2. bible
.

here is a question, if "not one of them is missing" how does the org explain super nova's, the destruction of a star at the end of it's life cycle?

because by definition it is missing, i have never heard of any explanation from the org to explain this contradiction..

Leaked Elder's Video: How to deal with a suicidal sister
by cappytan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this video will be played at one of the clam meetings in march 2016.. the content is kind of old news because it is a recut version of a previous video produced for the elder's school.

however, it's still significant because it shows that the organization still has dissenting brothers in positions of leadership.. my thanks to the leaker.

feel free to claim credit here.
