back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.
some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.
women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.
A mustache that looked "like the Marlboro man", side-burns longer than the part of the ear called the Tragus (that little flap of cartilage over the front of the ear canal), western boots that were bone colored with caramel colored lizard wing-tips, a two-door sports car, a four-wheel drive pickup, livestock.
I was always on their radar as an adult because I did not scrape and bow to the eldurrs.
have you ever had to deal with these crazy intrusive people flipping out on you?
just curious.
.
I am fee to kick them in the rear end.
Just be careful that you do not hurt their head.
so you all probably heard that the awake magazine is back, .
https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/?contentlanguagefilter=en&pubfilter=g&yearfilter=.
and one of my jw relatives said they were told by some elders that meetings and field service will resume before the end of the year.. they said this covid virus was a test, like when the romans breached jerusalem and retreated, only to come back later and sack jerusalem.
Now is not the time to focus on Education, Entertainment, and Work, retirement, etc, but now is the time to send us all your hard-earned $$$$$. Now back to work you worthless slackers!
donations to support theocratic activities.
2021-june-s-147-announcements and reminders.
zipped folder.
Thank you!
I did notice this little nugget: When visiting donate.jw.org it will default to your present location.Therefore, you must update the location to India in order to donate as an Indian citizen. To update the location, simply click on the country name displayed, and enter “India” in the search form that opens.
Isn't it strange that WT condamns lying as being from Satan out one side of their mouth, and then in order to get more $$$ in donations instructs members how to LIE when setting their actual physical location to a country location where they are not at so that the money will roll in! HYPOCRITES!!
to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?
I have adopted the saying, "Trust, but verify." That has served me well, except when I was still running the JW treadmill, as they seem to believe whatever slop they are fed without question.
what do you guys think....the topic seems to being on fashion lately.
some in the borg told me one time "of course, they are for real, they could be angels, demons".. .
UFO's are real. They are how Bigfoot gets around y'know.
we are pleased to provide you with the closing video of the 2021 convention which was prematurely uploaded to jw.org and subsequently.you can download it here.. warning: the music and scenarios play heavily on the emotions.
this is how watchtower subtly removes all rational and critical thinking after 3 days of emotional manipulation.
the song's chorus somehow contains samples from josh groban - you raise me up.
The music sounded nearly identical. I played both videos at the same time and mostly heard no difference.
Of course WT will NEVER admit that they copied most of a song as long as "two or more" notes are different.
….for the anniversary of george floyd’s death per president biden.
smh .
I see a number of thumbs down votes on the first few comments that seem to indicate someone who is pro BLM and anti- law enforcement. It must be the troll is back?
this should work.

Do you wear the badge in your best meeting clothes, and with all the family so adorned, ? Do you prepare a packed lunch and drinks , open the windows to get that outdoor feel while gathering round the laptop .....so as to pretend you are at stadium?
Yes, and not only that but get in the car several hours early, drive several blocks from home, park the car in direct sunlight so it gets good and hot during the day, then trudge back home dragging the over-sized cooler of food, all the books and notepads one can lug, then stand at the front door until 8:00 A.M. and run to the most uncomfortable chairs one could find to put in front of the computer, make sure the chairs are as close as possible to each other, make sure you have zero leg room to stretch out, then sit there until the whole snooze fest starts.
