  Mark Sanderson - Why Is the Newest GB Member Suddenly So Prominent?

  by Oubliette in

  1. watchtower

  i've noticed something that is very odd even by wt/gb standards.

  why is mark sanderson suddenly so prominent in all things wt/jw?.

  others have commented on the obvious narcissism of the gb pushing themselves to the fore recently, in particular after their huge doctrinal change at proclaiming themselves and only themselves as the faithful and discreet slave.. this is clearly true as evidenced at the agm, not only throughout the agm, but also in the video that was featured as part of that meeting.

  Maybe his prominence has something to do with his bloodline - his mother was a Rutherford. Maybe that is more than a coincedence?

  thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

  i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

  Getting Stuck on the Idea of Closure

  by OnTheWayOut in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i may be suffering twice for having left the jehovah's witnesses and watching my jw wife and other family members stay in.

  once for the changed situation (or loss) and another time for expecting to make progress in getting over it.. the 1969 book on death and dying by elisabeth kubler-ross introduced us to the kubler-ross model , commonly referred to as the " five stages of grief.

  " they are very helpful, but the original idea of the book and the hypothesis was that when a person is faced with the reality of impending death , he or she will experience a series of emotional stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.. it isn't always the case, but those stages are often felt by terminally ill patients.

  OTWO,

  I feel your pain. From knowing you, I think that you would be able to gain closure from the past if circumstances were different. The problem is that you are not truly removed from the abusive religion if you still have immediate family that is still in. You can get close, but then something happens that throws the religion back in your face.

  I call these moments "zingers." They suck you right back into the emotions that you have otherwise dealt with. It is like you have buried the dead cat, but your family keeps pulling it up by the tail. Situations like that cause you to have to do another mini-grieving, where you do a little bit of work on each stage of the grieving process to get back to your zen state.

  just when you think you've made friends with a "normal" person

  rode over to the farmer's market with a couple of neighbors, nice women, seem sensible.

  the driver stopped in the middle of a block and stared at the coca-cola truck that was parked there.

  she said, "do you see the round tower?

  I hate to say I told you so, but I did tell you so.

  I knew that eventually AAWA would muck up on Twitter as bad as as it mucked up the FB rollout!

  Hey Cedars, Anthony Weiner deleted his tweet too! Interesting that you know where all of your emails from that time period are, except for the ones you want to hide from.

  Carry on boys!

  Don't Allow Common "John and Jane Doe" (spiritually dead) to Corporate Broadcast! Keep us Clean!

  life's not so great, i've been sulking after it was annouced, the annual meeting of directors is allowing everyone to view the event!

  here comes the congregational corpes "john and jane does" to a meeting they should not be allowed to attend!

  jehovah's witnesses enjoy their royalty just like americans do.
