there is so much wrong with the newly released october, 2019 but that's not unusual.
what stands out is there statement claiming that survival through armageddon depends on loyalty to those 'taking the lead'.
since they claim there will be a point during the gt that they (the gb) won't be physically around, jws must still be loyal to jw leaders.. whats interesting in this article is that they make it clear that they, the governing body are going to take part, from heaven, in the war of armageddon.
Sounds like the gb are planning their exit strategy - Nowwhat
If these child abuse court cases snowball would the GB just disappear with all the cash they've gathered into offshore accounts by ripping off the r+f, grabbing their KHs? Their other sheep helpers take over making out the GB have raptured because the GT has started. Those who take over are not liable for any charges because they weren't there at the time.
in a bizarre world where spaghetti straps are a machination of the devil and a clean browsing history can bestow powers to resurrect your dead child, examining religious claims brings to you a side-by-side cringe fest of watchtower propaganda and latter day saints "education".. this video is part of a series revealing the "one size fits all" nature of high-control organizations.

Yeah Vidiot it reminds me of H.L. Mencken who once defined Puritanism as “the haunting fear that someone somewhere is having a good time."
from my cong .
something uneblievable just happened.. i am pomo for a while not too long though.
while we were away (i and my best friend for the weekend), i received several texts from my 2 friends, from my ex-cong ,who are pimi(but starting to have doubts) who have been asking me questions about the jdubs.the texts seemed quite urgent n serious, so got the lowdown .at the weekend meeting , 3 families walked out!.
Wow Zing it's all happening in your old cong. Even studies can research and find TTATT, which puts my still in family to shame. I'm glad for you that your friends are doubting the cult and may soon leave. You can support each other, well done!
do you find yourself, as i sometimes do, skimming through channels on the tv remote and not finding anything interesting to watch?.
growing up, we only had four channels on our tv (nbc, cbs, abc and pbs).
and yet there always seemed to be something of interest to see.. sadly, i often find myself watching shows where some guys are auctioning off storage lockers, killing alligators, picking junk from peoples' garages or barns, catching tuna, towing cars, driving trucks on the ice, catching crabs, running pawn shops ... etc etc etc.
British drama has been brilliant lately. I've enjoyed Summer of Rockets, Years and Years and Gentlemen Jack. Look out for them if they come over the pond.
I've got rid of cable and just have the actual free freeview, no top box nonsense. Very happy with freeview if any Brits want to know.
study watchtower september 2019, page 12, par.
16 - “....to be saved at armageddon, we must show that we “know god” and that we “obey the good news about our lord jesus.” (2 thess.
1:7-9) we “know god” when we know his likes, dislikes, and standards.
So no personal growth from living a valuable, interesting life and learning what matters and what doesn't. What hurts and what makes us happy. How to get the best from relationships. The values of hard work, job satisfaction, stretching yourself to do better each year. The joy, the intellectual buzz of learning something new.
Just follow these rules boys and girls and wait for paradise. Don't forget to despise all the others who aren't following them as well as you.
the longer i am out, the the less i understand the logic of this organisation.. i thought that the kingdom hall my wife attends was perfectly fine and adequate, in fact i liked that it sat in grassy grounds, surrounded by trees.
it probably wasn't in any dire need of re-decorating at this point.
others, obviously, thought otherwise and so the hall has recently been subjected to a make-over.. the parking lot has been extended in true joni michell they've "paved paradise and put up a parking lot".
That sounds vile, chopping down the trees and pulling up the grass. Paving a car park they don't need but then the WTS don't really want beautiful KHs for the members do they? They want them ready to sell as plain office buildings or industrial sites. Paradise is for the bigwigs in Warwick with their landscaped gardens.
... or is that one of our memes?
thanks..
made absolutely no sense to me, and no matter how much I would try to figure it out I couldn't, only to discover those things didn't make any sense because it was a total sham.
I was like that Tameria with things like the ransom, the seven times prophecy and why we celebrated wedding anniversaries but not birthdays. You end up feeling I must be stupid if everyone gets it but me.
In reality we were brighter than most, independent thinkers. That terrible thing! Hasn't it made you trust yourself now though? If something sounds like bullshit that's because it is.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
i'll start it off:.

Time to move the starting point. - stillin
Yeah stillin they're going to have to do that eventually once everyone who overlaps with the 1914 generation has died off.
The thing is from what newbies on here say, young adult born-ins and new converts now don't know anything about the generation teaching at all! Yet still they convert or get baptised! Following all those life-crippling rules with no end in sight. Why?!

Thanks Listener!
