just read this over on jw talk:.
will we be willing to leave unbelieving mates and unresponsive kids behind when given direction on what to do???
what about grandkids who fall under their parents who are not witnesses???
Yet if you try to post facts or personal experiences which cast WT in the slightest shadow, those that police JWTalk refuse to allow that post to be shown.
Not to mention that if one of the more subtle comments make it through the vetting process and then it receives complaints, and if that happens more than once or twice you will be promptly "disfellowshipped" from the forum and banned.
greetings, dreamers:.
i guess it's never going away: daytime carryovers of jw-related stuff seeping into my dreams.. the majority of these dreams take place at conventions but with really weird trappings.
last night i dreamed i arrived at the site with no books, no lunch, nothing but my car keys.
Yes. I have them too.

I described one of them to another JDub who I still get along with. They asked me if I was watching internet porn, because the demunz come through the internet porn and then influence your dreams.

And this...:
They attack, maybe start by rounding up those of us they can find. Angels gather anointed and everything is in place for when they go for the kill.
Can you feel the love?

Or this other little nugget:
And brothers and sisters not only being disfellowshipped right now, but out there enjoying life as if Jehovah and his organization ever existed. That's a catasphrophe of mammoth magnitude for the individuals, their families, the congregation

Will we be willing to leave Unbelieving mates and unresponsive kids behind when given direction on what to do??? What about grandkids who fall under their parents who are not witnesses??? We must be READY TO OBEY ALL INSTRUCTIONS..
THIS TOPIC CAN BE TOUCHY...but lets keep prying...when you consider all that is involved...Now is the time for self examination not is the time to get it RIGHT...if one chooses not to respond there is nothing we can do but prey for them...
But..when Jehovah comes that's It..No one will be spared.
Doesn't that just scream CULT? And notice the uneducated spelling.
this was the first part in the "living as christians" section of the meeting tonight.
speaker had two pioneers on the stage to relate their outstanding experiences for 2017. we have 23 pioneers and over 160 publishers in the hall.
our territory is densely populated with single family houses, apartments and condominiums.
As it ended, the entire congregation clapped in approval and self importance.

Anyway, the reason they say that is all about money! If they don't get what they negotiated for, Watchtower won't get their kick back!
Specific instructions this year to make online reservations through the designated reservation site set up for WT. As I still need to assist elderly still in relatives I will be keeping an eagle eye on the rewards points for the room. Those are MY rewards, NOT the WT and if they try to take them that is theft!

The two billion hours reported as field service is beyond a waste of time and effort.
Yep, an average of 241.9 hours per person spent to get 284,212 dunked. That is a paltry 7,198.8 total hours per person baptized. I had a WTF moment when I heard the 7.8% increase number tossed out, when the number printed is 1.4%, an likely much less if the ones dying, getting fed up and walking away, or getting booted out are taken into account. A comment was made about the 10,071,524 studies reported as being a sure sign that there were oh so many wanting to know Da Troof. No mention of whether that was individuals or annual total of cumulative weekly studies.
The saying "Figures lie, and liars figure" seems to hold true.
i was talking to a jdub yesterday about child abuse in the organisation and this was his response:.
"it has been known for kids to make stuff up.
we have to trust the society on these things, also the legal process is there.
Kids make stuff up?
Not when it comes to sexual molestation, especially very young children. I know of a fellow whose JDub wife left him for another JDub, took their two year old daughter, and less than one year later the poor little girl was waking up screaming from nightmares. When her dad asked why on one of his visitation weekends she described in perfect detail the type of sexual rape that the mom's Jdub boyfriend was forcing on the little girl.
When the dad confronted the eldurrs in the mom's town they used that same goddamned excuse. The girl makes up stories! Nothing ever done about it! Well except for the dad getting threatened with DF'ing if he pursued it. He did, and he was!
the jist was that we all should sing.
then the first 6 or 8 paragraphs describe how early bible accounts have trained and set aside musicians to do the singing while everyone else listened.. the songs they have put out have no soul, rhythm, or soothing melodies as a whole.
the old hymns are some real music, even if you don't agree with the "teachings".. there is no admission of poetry using archaic language at times for affect or to add to the rhyme, they have to have everything agree with the grey bible.. anyone speak foreign languages?
SHALL?? No longer in use??
I guess these brainiacs in NY have never had to read a certain large Fortune 500 company's equipment installation standards, operating procedures manuals, safety manuals, or DOT compliance instructions.
Of course it would take more than a third grade "simplified" education to do so and then comprehend what was just read!
