  New Cringe Worthy Music Video From July Broadcast

  by JW_Rogue in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the song is supposedly about marveling at god's creation but instead includes over the top adoration of the elders, conventions, and family worship.

  lol getting a brother who sounds like a wannabe josh groban only adds to the cheesiness.

  Todays WT, study with worldy kids if you can

  by purrpurr in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  according to today's wt, jws are now encouraged to start bible studys with worldy kids even if their parents dont want to join in.

  the wt suggests that the study should take place with the parent present or with another mature jw present.. the wt suggests that studying with the kid may make the parent eventually want a study too.. ...

  in what situation would any worldly parent allow some stranger from a werid cult to come jnto their house and convert their children?

  That was just part of this WT.

  Another topic was the unique trial of someones mate dying, FedUp actually got to comment on this one. The comment was that the death of a mate was "A unique trial to JW's because many older ones spent decades believing it when they were told they would never have children who would either go to school or graduate from high school, let alone that they would get old and die before Armageddon. And now they have grandchildren and they find themselves alone after their husband or wife have grown old and died, like generations of people before them."

  Despite that comment FedUp got called on a second time in the review. Question was how we could offer comfort to others. FedUp commented, "By following the brothers examples when they offer congregation prayers and mention those who are facing trials in our prayers. It is easy and takes no effort or time, and after saying our prayer we can just wait on Jehovah and trust that he will somehow comfort them."

  So, would we call the GB our Uncles, Aunts, Sisters or Cousins???

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ok, so try and follow me here.... according to jw doctrinal teachings, the gb are "christ's brothers".

  humans are all "god's children".

  so does that make the gb our "uncles"?.

  Jw mummies boys

  by purrpurr in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.

  men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.

  their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.

  Have you met jw mummies boys? Is it a common phenomenon in the cult? What do you think causes this?

  Oh hell yes! I knew of one that could not even have morning breakfast or noon meal with his wife. He had to go to mommies for breakfast and dinner. Supper was the only meal he ate with his wife. He could not make a decision, even simple ones without consulting mommy and daddy first.

  I believe the WT reference to "Mother" all the time is a factor. And the constant berating of using ones normal individual abilities without first consulting with "Mother's" chosen leaders is another. JW men are for the most part emasculated wimps!

  Yeah, you're right, the guy with the girly-man voice actually says "...with Jehovah's erection" strange use of the word.

  Well after listening several times with volume up I believe you are correct..he did say erection. But in all fairness he probably had erections on his mind.

  opportunity for fornication

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ever see brother ugly who is 86 being taken to the doctor by sister frigid who is 65 and also not good looking?

  they have to have a chaperone or at least sit in back and front seats.

  or a man who can't bring the freezing daughter in the house when he stopped briefly by because hubby is not home.

  I took an extended vacation trip with a woman friend some years ago. Funny thing was that even though we shared the same motel room several nights in a row we did not have sex.

  I guess in JW-dom if that is proof of sex happening I am in a world (see what I did there?) of hurt for all the times I bunked with guys in the same room to save costs when I was playing one night stands with a road band. Did that make me a homosexual?

  I have maintained for a long time that when a JDub throws around the term "sex mad" they are mirroring their own personality.

  Using Illegal Means for Righteous Activism

  by John Davis in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i wanted to get people's opinion on something.

  how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.

  there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.

  There is an old adage..."Fight fire with fire."

  Before the days of small digital recorders I was asked to participate in a JC inquiry about an alleged wrongdoing. When I arrived, of course the lying accuser was nowhere to be seen, just the three judges and the accusation. So I politely informed them that the entire proceeding was going to be recorded by multiple "eye witnesses" to their JC meeting. They excused me and said they would get back to me at a later date. I did not tell them that it would be angels, Jesus, and God himself "recording" everything said. Is that "spiritual warfare"?

  So sad, and makes me as angry as one can be, but this is NOT an isolated incident in the JW community.

  This is the normal way of treating the young ones. I know personally of a young four year old that was sternly informed by her grandmother that she(the little girl) was, "going to die at Armageddon, and I am going to watch the birds pecking out your dead eyes!"

  A cult that promotes joy over other peoples deaths is nothing but pure poison.
