loyalty appears to be the buzzword constantly promoted by the gb at the moment.
we hear it at conventions, assemblies, and meetings.. let's face it loyalty covers so much.
shunning of family, friends etc.
Also in Micah 6:8, 'asking' was changed to 'requiring'. What was once a beautiful scripture is now harsh and demanding!
And "kindness" was dropped altogether and replaced with their buzzword "loyalty". Nothing kind about JW taskmasters anymore.
I have taken to using an (un)intentional slip of the tongue when I say anything these days to any JDub about the "Mid-Week Beating." Funny thing, no one seems to even notice.
again with the pants... tony, if you can't stop looking at young men in tight pants don't take it out on the rest of us.

So he clearly aware of what sites such as this are saying about the borg. Good. I hope he does a world tour, telling the rank and file, noooo, we are not a cult.
Me thinks he doth protest too much!
i don't really need to explain anything really.
all i can say is that i was gob smacked at the sheer audaciousness of the entire study article.
i'm still speechless.
As Christians, however, we must humbly “consider others superior” to us
Yeah, THAT is really something the gibbering boobies in Warwick do...isn't it?
a reliable source has informed me that a bethel contact has informed them that paul gillies - a london branch committee heavyweight - is moving to warwick to join the legal department there.
anyone else aware of this?.
during the recent court case in russia, he posed for a photograph with the gb member and the rest of the wt a-team..
Somebody told me, that someone told them, that....
each individual may have their own views as to why they feel the meetings are boring and uninspiring.
in my case i find the midweek meeting so, because of the constant emphasis on pitching watchtower literature.
its just monotonous and one big yawn.. i watch other christian faiths where they open up a chapter of the bible and discuss it's contents.
Listen and obey the GB (virtually always described as the F&DS)
I am getting a lot of push-back, from the elders in particular, for referring to those seven guys in New York as the governing body instead of "The Slave". They say it is disrespectful and elevates men making it sound like we follow men. WTF!! What was it those same seven had printed in a WT? "Who really is the 'faithful and discreet slave'?, IT'S US!!! Now shut up, sit down, and do what we order you to do! Especially GIVE US MONEY!"
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.
