The laziness of JW parents....

by stuckinarut2 in

it struck me that the society has created a culture of lazy jw parenting.. rather than parents being there to guide and direct and help their children through all stages of life, the gb / society has become the "go-too" for everything.. if the child has an issue, there is a wt article for that.. does the child need help with something else?

ah, there is a caleb and sophia cartoon for that.. what about that other topic?

ah, there is a book for that.. so rather than being present parents, the average jw parent simply outsources their parenting to the organization!

I know so many that fell into this trap. As full grown adults, they struggle to make ends meet, are heavily in debt, have no savings, no health care insurance, no retirement, and no meaningful employment that provides some satisfaction.

Oh but wait...they do not care. After all as I have been repeatedly informed the Bible tells them that they will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will become abhorrent to them. Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them. So it is there own fault that they are in that situation. I have ZERO sympathy for them. Besides we all know where to find "sympathy" in the dictionary...right between "shit" and "syphilis".

Is he interested?

by Sunnybear in

i met a wonderful man on match.com several months ago.

on our first date, there was amazing chemistry and we ended up having sex.

it was not planned, it just happened.

FedUpJW

If he is just having fun with me (place filler) I will end it.
Any advice?

You already given yourself the advice you need. Now listen to it!

You Just Can't Make This S--t Up!

by FedUpJW in

i know this is kind of trivial but i don’t want to partake in something that might have connections with something that jehovah disapproves of.

i checked the watchtower library and i didn’t find anything on gingerbread man cookies.. .

good lord...how incredibly stupid and helpless are jdubs getting?

FedUpJW

So I checked in on the cult members chat forum and there is a new little nugget of discussion that is just about as goofy as the cupcake thread.

Some pin-head had to ask if it was "okay" to say dammit?

Several pages of comments on that. Geez these people are helpless. I swear they would all curl up and die if someone didn't tell them when to breath in and when to exhale!

When Rutherford Changed the Name to Jehovah's Witnesses

FedUpJW

If what was written in the 1932 Yearbook was an accurate presentation of God giving "his" people a new name, and if as it is written it was given to ANOINTED ones, then WTH are the rank and file called Jehovah's Witnesses if THEY are not anointed?

Either they screwed up then (not hard to believe) or they screwed up now. (Also not hard to believe)

The Anal Retentive Biblical Jehovah

by Brokeback Watchtower in

freud came up with the idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anal_retentiveness.

i would like to sight some examples of a anal retentiveness of the biblical deity.. the garden of eden and the death penalty for eating a fruit, which by the way was passed on to all future offspring requiring an anal retentive jehovah to provide a suitable sacrifice of his only begotten son to correct the situation and thus make it possible for forgiveness from the big guy and remove the death curse.. working on a saturday= death penalty.

mandatory blue thread and fringes on all israelite garments.. death penalty for touching the ark of the covenant to prevent it from tipping over.. exclusive devotion only to be given to him, bowing to other gods/idols forbidden.. grows hot with anger and becomes violently enraged killing off all kinds of human and animal life with a flood when humans not living the way he feels is right.. threatening to tread on mankind like a mighty man crushing grapes under his feet when pissed off.. loss of self control when pissed off over insignificant trifles.

I noticed that Tight Pants said, "I have always said..."

I wonder where the Bible as the alleged words of God himself enters into his I have always said?

Arrogant SOB!

They are all dead!

by Sour Grapes in

the watchtower company and the jdubs talk so nonchalantly about the year 1914, the year they say jesus became king in the heavenly kingdom.

they talk about the year like it was just a short time ago.

the invisible king began ruling in the invisible kingdom.

FedUpJW

I'd say that there are likely scarcely any individuals who were old enough to comprehend the significance of events unfolding in 1914 who are still alive, including JWs.

Ah, but lest we forget the Great Oracle FWF was alive then and did not die until 1992 (?). By that chart that Splane 'splaned" things with if one were to consider 14 years of age the age of comprehension someone born in as a JDubya in 1978 could possibly be part of the "over-lapper" class. And they could be "anointed" by H.S. (Holy Suggestion) of the current anointed ruling body, like the new kid on the block. If that happened they could be as young as mid to late thirties or early forties. That buys "this generation" another possible fifty years or more. Of course by then WE will all be dead, and no one else will be around to contradict whatever drivel THAT bunch of over-lapping over-lapping over-lappers will trot out as their definition of "soon".

Brazen Conduct???

by Vanderhoven7 in

how is brazen conduct defined by the elders?

.

do you know of any cases where it has been improperly used against the r&f...you-know, like squeezing the toothpaste tube the wrong way is sometimes touted as mental cruelty?

FedUpJW

Agreed. "Brazen" conduct is anything that does not fall into the normal "kiss-the-elder's-asses" JDub conduct.

Regarding this so called judgment message..

by nowwhat? in

will our fearless leaders the gb call a news conference and invite all the major news networks and outlets and put their asses on the line and declare "you are all doomed!

" or will they have the rank and file do all the dirty work while they sit back in their gated corporate country club?!

ask any jdub that question!.

FedUpJW

God’s people will boldly declare a strong message of judgment that will affect all people. The message may be that Satan’s wicked world is about to be totally destroyed. The Bible compares this message to hailstones when it says: “Great hailstones, each about the weight of a talent, fell from heaven on the people, and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, for the plague was unusually great.”—Revelation 16:21.

So where do they find the proof for their assertion using their Bible? Or did they not really mean ot when they said unless the Bible is clear about something having a meaning for these days they would not....OH WAIT! I forgot, what they say today doesn't matter tomorrow! Sorry 'bout that!

In case you want to see mass quantities of ignorance / stupidity on display....a dinosaur thread on JWTalk

by sir82 in

https://jwtalk.net/forums/topic/34840-what-does-the-bible-say-about-dinosaurs/.

amazing how many words can be expended discussing things that people have utterly no clue about..

FedUpJW

And of course there was this little nugget of ~~wisdom~~ shit, "I came up with that is that there was only one Garden of Eden, so the rest of the earth must have been a mess." Well so much for their claim that God looked and saw that everything he had created was GOOD!

What a bunch of dumb-f--ks!
