  just a thought.

  would those who are resurrected (if it existed) to the new system have bellybuttons.

  The bigger issue is whether they would be "innies" or "outies".

  March 2018 Broadcast - When quotes become rumors

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

  the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

  the method of spreading rumors is not new.

  Jehovah, Jesus and the Faithful Slave. To a reasonable degree you also trust all of your fellow Brothers and Sisters...something else we need to trust in – God’s Word...

  There we have it. They have placed The Bible in LAST place!

  This is the man who “does not answer to Watchtower” and is “not related to Watchtower”. ”Watchtower does not have control” over him. This is no rumor, it’s well documented evidence and signed by himself. A liar and a fraud.

  He is, in his mind, telling the truth. HE does not answer to WT. HE is not related to WT. WT does not have control over HIM. WT answers to HIM! WT is related to HIM! HE has control over WT! After all when Jesus is supposed to turn over everything and subject himself to God the GB will be elevated to a position OVER even Jesus! "... they will rule, not only for a thousand years but for ever and ever."

  This probably sounds uppity. I'm saying it anyhow

  has anybody else noticed a pattern that is here among us outcasts?

  there seems to be, on average, a higher level of intelligence here than there is at the kingdom hall.

  actually, intelligent conversation seems to be looked down upon among the witnesses.. also, the simple language skills found here seem to be above average compared to those among the witnesses.

  As a teen, I was told, 'you think too deeply.'

  In my seventh decade of life I am getting told very regularly that, You think too much!" I mentioned it to a non-believing friend who told me I should just give the other person a hard stare and tell them they don't think enough!

  Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

  by pale.emperor in

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  Sounds like the eldurr that made the statement during his PT (Are You Building With Fire Resistant Materials) that Proverbs 22: 6 meant that if youngsters grew up and left Da Troof it was because the parents failed.

  I asked him after the meeting if he REALLY meant that the parents were to blame for their children leaving Da Troof? He very forcefully said that is what the Bible says! So I asked him to explain who was to blame and failures for Satan leaving, Adam and Eve leaving, and Judas Iscariot leaving.

  It took two other brothers to restrain him, and one to restrain me if I had to defend myself! What a moron he is! I pity the southwest United states congregation he is ruling in now!

  Why did you leave?

  by Fred Franztone in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we all have many reasons for leaving, most are doctrinal, some are emotional.

  it's a religion which obsesses over factual proofs (counterfactual though they are) of its veracity rather than faith, so it's inevitable that most who leave will do so for intellectual reasons.

  which doctrine above all others forced you to reconsider your position?

  The glaring hypocrisy of the way these two scriptures were ignored by the "oh-so-humble" jack-wads in the congregations.

  (John 15:12-14) . . . This is my commandment, that you love one another just as I have loved you. Absolutely no genuine, non-conditional love shown by anyone in the cult!

  (Matthew 7:3) . . . Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the rafter in your own eye? Always willing to engage in malicious gossip, tearing other's down behind their back but putting on a pretense of "love" to your face. Digging up things one did decades earlier as the excuse to continue punishing you, because of alleged "stumbling".

  Well, anytime im having a Bible study in the ministry and we get to d study 6 in the brochure; Listen to God and Live Forever which has d topic : What Do we Learn from the Great Flood?

  The last part in the study reads: "Some people are like Noah. They listen to God and do what He says; they are Jehovah's Witnesses."

  I know we have the truth, but sometimes i feel when we openly rub it into their faces like that, it can make them angry and they might think we are judging them.

  
  

  And one of the first replies was this little bit of goofiness, "Sooner or later, you have to tell them the truth. If they want to get on the road to life, they will have to join us."

  Nope, JDub's don't judge people, or condemn them do they? No wonder we use the term jw.BORG

  I equate masturbation with blowing my nose. It has to be done. It isn't a public affair nor anybody's business but my own.

  I was told by a super-eldurr that proof of masturbation being a sin was that it was done in private. I asked him when was the last time he took a shit in public view of others.

  Unhappy being asked to give a Disfellowshipped Sister a ride to and from Meetings

  by Isambard Crater in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.

  except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.

  it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?

  It is all about the $$$$ and the time with them. They would be falling over themselves to give her a ride IF they could get a boatload of praise from others for it.

  I went through this with an eldurr in my locality who always tried to guilt me into giving rides to his bible indoctrination victims, dis-fellowshipped people, and the loons who no one else could tolerate. Then I finally got FedUp and told him "NO"! Now I am a persona non grata in his book, and I am just fine with that.

  Idiotic Thread On A Cult Site

  so as is my habit when i need a good laugh at stupid chat forum threads i popped in to the jay double u talk site and happened on this hilarious thread.

  of course i have not read the whole thing, it was just too mentally painful to read those nitwits "reasoning"about "music".. why jehovah's witnesses do not use drums.... .

  Here are a couple of the answers:

  Did you let the person know - it is because it is a "hall" where we discuss the Kingdom - hence "Kingdom Hall" and NOT a "Dance Hall" or a "Music Hall"??

  The purpose of our music is to worship Jehovah in song and the musical accompaniment is solely to help in that purpose.

  Music should be done tastefully and not detracting from the style the brothers have chosen (avoiding the gospel style or the traditional catholic choir sound)

  Had to stop reading after some of these comments, however I noted three pages of back and forth about drums.
