  ''brothers, let's not fool ourselves.

  this virus is really hitting our business finances.

  our brothers and sisters are loving every minute of the local congregation zoom meetings.

  "Well of course, I have a great idea, lett us emphasise the great value of our teachings and how this pearl of great price is provided without cost. But is it free? Noooo. Without cost does not mean free. But we can provide the money. Yes we will lend every publisher £15 trillion and all they have to do is pay it back in regular installments with minimal interest.

  Some people actually question whether we care for our fellow domestics. Of course we care because we want them to benefit from this generous loan which will pay for a very rewarding education."

  Nod nod, smile smile, gurn gurn.

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  My letter of disassociation, what do you think?

  by James Jack in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  dear brothers, july 27, 2020. in 1919, the president of the watchtower society made a bold prediction, “millions now living will never die”.

  that quotation was constantly repeated by the organization till the year 2000 when they realized that everyone in attendance at that assembly, who listened to j.r. rutherford repeat those words, are dead.. that teaching has guided my life.

  statements were repeatedly made at assemblies, conventions and in print that there was no career in “this system of things” so you don’t need a job with benefits or retirement, your fulltime job is to “preach the good news”!

  Top tip for anyone still in and wanting to leave. Set up your own WhatsApp (or similar) group so when they throw you out those who want to stay in touch can do so without the prying eyes of elders. Make sure those you care about know how to find you privately.

  I can tell you more are leaving. Patience, a helping hand and understanding of their confusion and difficult situation has worked wonders. Elders are having to chew on sticks.

  Oh, I'm no film buff but I've seen trailers - that looks like Star Warsie kinda thing.

  I guess the key Islamic element it doesn't have is a merchant called Mohammed/Splane/Lett/III who sets himself up as a profit and claims he met Gabriel.

  Then he lays limp on the floor chants and comes up with the Watchtower - oops typo - Koran.

  High five James Jack. We've all got to do things our own way and this gives you a clear straight break with them.

  When will people wake up and understand the WTBS is talking about the 2nd coming of Elvis. Elders in my ex-cong have been eagerly awaiting the day.

  They are not interested in Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ did not sing this:-

  Hi Vidiot - love the idea of Scientology suing WTS.

  Now check this out - I just read this comment by a blogger -
  

  I believe that in the Arab countries they have already plans to open up a ‘Chrislam’ centre in 2022...

  If that blogger is right, there's going to be a new religion which involves Islam plus bits of Christianity - oh so very Watchtower.

  Maybe Watchtower will start to call itself Chrislamic - and maybe Scientology will sue it.

  Will there be new light that, with a bit of mathematical jiggerypokery suddenly gets the 7 times from 607 BCE landing on 570 CE the supposed birth of Mohammed?

  All they gotta do is change the times in time, times and half a time from 2 to 6 and it's job done.

  Place your bets folks. Will they, wont they?

  2020 Convention Friday Highlights: Information Control and Hypocrisy

  by neat blue dog in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  there's yet another talk to add to the list of talks written specifically for damage control against "apostates".

  the speaker says, "some who were once part of the christian congregation attempt to mislead us", that they tell "false accusations" & "lies".

  to combat this, he says that you should "protect your ears from damaging noise by not listening to it", comparing it to wearing "noise canceling headphones".

  Tony must realise that those who are fully in rarely listen to/understand Watchtower teachings. Therefore when confronted with conflicting information they'll swallow down any old camel.

  Sea Breeze - evidently the Watchtower is the solution to the World's problem. Oppenheimer just gave us weapons of mass destruction, but Watchtower brought us boredom.

  What a wonderful vision of life in a peaceful new world.

  Thank you Sea Breeze.
