  Witness Royalty and the last day at the "Towers"

  by Lynnie in

  my uber elder cousin and his wife got the "privilege" of having one last "toast" of wine at the rooftop garden at the towers in nyc since the jw's are vacating to warwick.

  his oldest daughter and son in law are quite high up in the inner circle so they get invited to all the "inner circle" activities.

  even though they aren't supposed to toast to anything it was pretty darn close.

  Again, it's an example of a shift toward a diminishing outreach to the uninitiated public and an increasingly desperate bid to hold onto what they have by dazzling the masses with impressively produced puffery devoid of any intellectual weight.

  And just how are the rank and file .. so conditioned to going door-to- door with printed materials -- supposed to adjust?

  Once again, kudos to you wifibandit for your invaluable contributions to this forum!

  i'd like to show you a short video i made about exjw activism in poland.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt3qdtyxgd8.

  i'm one of the people responsible for those information campaigns/protests, so you can ask me anything you like.

  there's a lot i didn't show on the video because of the limited time i have for editing, i have tons of footage more.

  It seems the ex-JW literature cart attracted a lot more interest than the usual JW setups!

  The Ever-Changing Song Book

  by Cimarrona in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the songs in the old brown song book were way better than these new ones.

  had they not changed the songs, i may never have left (halfway joking).

  they gave no feeling, no soul (but of course there's no such thing as soul or whatever)!

  Generally the new songs reflect a shift away from praising God and Jesus, towards self-adulation, behavioral modification and propagandistic appeal to emotions.

  Stupid, stupid nonsense in the October JW broadcast

  by sir82 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so in the october jw broadcast, there is a "morning worship" segment in which g. jackson goes to great lengths to explain how the term "those taking the lead" are not "leaders".. the terms are exactly equivalent, of course, but jackson, with a wink & smirk, pats himself on the back for his own cleverness on how different they really are.it's just so bizarrely absurd.. imagine if such tortured reasoning were applied to other areas..... -------------------------------------.

  restaurant manager: i'm sorry, the only position we have open is for dishwasher.

  applicant: that's insulting!

  The current policy represents a 180-degree volte-face from JW thinking in the 50s/60s.

  I clearly recall a talk on baptism encouraging any young JW who harbored misgivings for having been baptized too young to really appreciate the consequences, or to please his/her parents, to consider getting re-baptized.

  What is the Baptism all about?

  by Old Navy in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  does the act of baptism make us a "member" of any group or organization?

  or, is it something much greater in its purpose?.

  when we as former jws came to the truthful conclusion that what the wtborg cult inc. was teaching/preaching was not an accurate representation of the word, many of us decided to look into every nook and cranny to see if we could discover the real truth.
