  Now that the S**t is hitting the fan how are the JW's reacting??

  by highdose in

  this article is starting to go global now i think ( please everyone keep it spreading) how are the jw's reacting to it?

  i don't mean the offical spokesman statement, i mean the individual jw's that we know.. what are they saying about it?.

  I am the Co-ordinator of the body of Elders in a Jehovah's Witness congregation. I agree wholeheartedly with ANYTHING the Governing Body says. They alone are used by our heavenly father Jehovah to dispense Truth at the proper time. Matt 24:45. If the Governing Body asked me to kill myself I would gladly sacrifice myself as only they have words of truth. Apostates deserve all they get and are 'not of our sort'. When the watchtower plainly says we should hate apostates, who am I to argue. After all God will destroy them at his great war soon. I have noticed apostates are normally from troublesome families anyway. Good riddance I say. Long live the Governing Body. Praise Jehovah!

  I have told him he is doing more to hurt the organisation than any apostate could.

  Comments like this one are precisely why the WTS doesn't want any JWs responding to media critiques of JW doctrine and practices.

  Perhaps Christopher Hitchens will also add those quotations to the next edition of God Is Not Great - How Religion Poisons Everything.

  I liked feeling as though I was part of a Brotherhood™ that would live to see something amazing - that JWs were specially chosen and were doing Jehovah's work on earth. It sucked the big one when I realized it was all based on bull$h!t.

  Goodie night was great - and I daresay that I still make awesome treats, just not as frequently as then. But we could do exJW goodie nights, without having the Book Study™ first!! That would be fantastic!!

  Actually, to be completely honest, I learned enough about public speaking from the Theocratic School™ and going Door-to-Door™ to give really effective presentations at school and at work. That's probably the best thing I took away from being a JW - it's a skill that's served me well.

  Child Health — Watchtower deception!

  child health watchtower deception!.

  today i uploaded a new article addressing a particularly evil deception watchtower promotes in its july 15, 2011 watchtower journal.

  when watchtower does what it does in this instance the higher-ups have to know they are misleading folks.

  Just recall WT's position on truth-telling:

  While malicious lying is definitely condemned in the Bible, this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it. - Insight on the Scriptures, Volume II, pp. 244, 245 (heading: LIE).

  The average JW does not realize that the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses - the very individuals they are entrusting their lives, and the lives of their children to - do not respect them enough to consider them 'entitled to truthful information'.

  That quotation was one of the most important discoveries I made about the religion that I almost died in childbirth for. The sense of betrayal I felt over that realization was enormous.

  I think you make a lot of people angry here, with your creepy adolescent attitude toward women.

  I also think you find it amusing because you make no efforts to remedy your attitude.

  last night at 2am i was awoken by the sound of cuboards in the room next to mine being opened and iteams falling out of them.

  it terrifiled me, i lay awake listening further for hours in case the burgalars tried anything else.... when the morning came i went into that room, to find it all as it should be... nothing disturbed at all... no break in at all.. this has happened several times to me over the past few years.

  no its not the neighbours i live in a deatched house.

  It sounds like you might have a bit of PTSD going on, related to your previous break in.

  Perhaps you could download some relaxation music or other audio recordings to listen to before you go to sleep, to help clear your mind of those anxieties.

  FWIW, I have experienced dreams in which I hear the phone ringing or my alarm going off, which wakes me up. It so happens that my working shiftwork makes me anxious about sleeping through my alarm - which becomes the focus of my thoughts before going to sleep, and then I'm hearing alarms in my dreams all frikkin' night long. I started taking my iPod to bed, and listening to audio books as I slept. It drowns out external sounds (except my real alarm clock) and gives my mind a different focus as I drift off to sleep. It works quite nicely for me, to be honest.

  Necessary business with Disfellowshipped ones

  by Quarterback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was reading our study article for next week's wt study there is a subheading in there about treatment of disfellowshipped ones.

  in one paragraph they slam the term, "necessary business" when dealing with a family member who is df'd.. this is so confusing.

  in one hand they have coined that phrase "necessary business" with relatives that have df relatives.

  Rule of thumb when applying the term Necessary Family Business™:

  If you need money, are ill or require other manner of material support, and would otherwise have to rely on JW Friends™ or the Congregation™ for such assistance, then contact with DF'd relatives as Necessary Family Business™ is permissible.

  If your DFd relative(s) need money, are ill or require other manner of material support, then fuck 'em.
