  When I worked at the hospital many moons ago, the nurse educator - an evangelical christian - made the comment to me "If my son chose to be gay, I would be very disappointed." I responded thoughtfully, saying "You know, I don't EVER recall making a choice to be heterosexual, do you?" She didn't say another word, but she looked like she'd been hit by lightning.

  Sorry to hear that about Terry, she was a genuine, down-to-earth person. Didn't know about Uzzah either, that was a bit of a shock actually.

  We had a few pedophiles (male and female) in the congregation where I grew up. One was Disfellowshipped™ and Reinstated™ *twice*, and later targeted me, at the Book Study™ that was held in *my own home*. Another was a Sister™ who liked grabbing little boys' bottoms and squealed with delight in so doing. The third was an Elder™ (50+ yrs old) who got away with crap like sitting with an older teenaged unbaptized girl in the back seat of a car doing Return Visits™, explaining to her how to put a condom on a man while the other half of the Car Group™ were at the RV, and also corralling her into her bedroom after the Book Study™ at her home and trying to French kiss her. She was intimidated because #1, he was an Elder™ and thought nobody would believe her, and #2 because he had gotten away with it before.

  Also my own dad bent over backwards to help anyone in the congregation, and gave them his full attention, and we got the cranky leftovers.

  My guess for August WatchTower: GB claims we're in beginning stages of Great Tribulation due to World governments turning on JW's

  the september watchtower has already been released and is being discussed over on reddit.

  some highlights: .

  1. more hitting the flock on total reliance and obedience to god's representatives on earth today, the f&ds (the governing body, of course).

  Oh my! You poor little thing! <crying emoji> The big bad old Governments are holding your feet to the fire for practices that are harmful to people, particularly children!! HOW DARE THEY WITHOLD PWESSSIOUS MONEY FROM YOUR DRYING UP COFFERS!! It's not YOUR fault that you allow CHILD MOLESTERS, CHILD ABUSERS, WIFE BEATERS and their ilk remain in positions of oversight in the Congregations™, is it now?? And it's not YOUR fault that individual members are likely holding onto their money rather than contributing to your PEDOPHILE DEFENSE FUND, is it??

  Pioneer Hours

  does anyone know how many hours were required to be a pioneer back in or around 1970?.

  140 hours for Special™ Pioneers™; 100 for Regular Pioneers™ - don't remember what the quota was for Vacation™ Pioneers™.

  But when they changed the title from Vacation™ Pioneers™ to Auxiliary™ Pioneers™ the quota went down a bit to 60 hours, which was meant to be a bit more achievable.

  I remember one Brother™ bragged that he opened his bathroom window when he got up, and just as he went in the shower, he tossed a Tract™ out the window to start his Time™.

  When JW.org drops 607BCE...

  by Nathan Natas in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  probably everyone else thought of this long ago, but i, being an "independent thunker" thunk of it just a coupla weeks ago.. we all know that since the year zero (on the fredfranzian calendar) the wtb&ts has defied archaeology and insisted that jerusalem was destroyed in 607 bce, even though the physical evidence shows that 587 bce is a more likely date.

  in fact, the book "the gentile times reconsidered: have jehovah's witnesses been wrong all along about 607 bce?

  " by carl olof jonsson and rud persson made this conversation public.. it is a difference of 20 years.

  There are so many people who were Disfellowshipped™ for not believing that 1914 was a pivotal date in Theocratic History™ - people like our dearly departed Grace Gough, aka Mouthy, must be spinning in her grave at this upcoming nu-lite. The WTS needs to stop the practice of Disfellowshipping™, because they always - like the snake-oil salesmen they are - eventually change their tune. They justify their position, saying that the person Ran Ahead of the Organization™, and were therefore an Apostate™.

  I f-ing hate them for ruining family relationships like that.

  Watchtower intentionally misleading the court?

  by Vanderhoven7 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  seems to me wt lawyers and witnesses cannot be trusted even under oath.. mara mitchell writes.

  as far as their family members are concerned, normal family relations continue with the exception of spiritual fellowship.”.

  attached is a video on how watchtower presents family members being treated by their family when defending themselves in court.. .

  David Gnam. Even slimier than he's ever been, waging Theocratic Warfare™ in the Supreme Court of Canada.

  Back when we were in the same Congregation™ in western Quebec, he wasn't a WT legal lapdog yet, but he was a mealy-mouthed slimeball even then. He (and his family) even shunned JWs who were struggling to stay regular in Service™ and Meeting Attendance™.

  Do you recognize the Truth? Watchtower July, 2024

  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the stated focus of this study article is.

  focustraining ourselves to discern the difference between the truth we have learned from jehovah and the falsehoods promoted by satan and our opposers.. of course, the article goes on to claim that the truth is not only in the bible, but also from the watchtower organization.

  the first of two qualities needed to discern truth is -.

  Hi there, Listener:

  The second quality needed to discern truth stated in the article, is -

  HUMILITY
  Comments under this quality include
  Jehovah will help us put his thoughts, which he provides through his Word and his organization, ahead of our own.

  Being prideful could lead us to consider our personal opinions to be just as valid as Scriptural principles and direction from Jehovah’s organization.
  

  Funny how the GB stresses the quality of Humility™ which permits the GB to act in such a presumptuous, prideful and egotistical manner. Classic narcissism.

  https://youtu.be/uvdmjpmgxk8?si=qdvgimktegx4fepm.

  the watchtower's nightmares have just began in france.

  on april the 9th the french senate passed a new "anti-cult" law that will basically strengthen the hands of miviludes, the french agency, the official anti-cult agency that is cracking down on dangerous cults.

  I think I know what the GB is doing

  by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  read:.

  but if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘my master is delaying,’b 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards.

  hmm... let's see is anyone on the governing body a strict master and a drunkard?

  OTWO:

  The lawyers and accountants are telling the Govering Body members to lighten up on rules that cause people to leave, or else the lawyers and accountants will declare the GB to be the evil slave.
  I am sure they didn't think it through, but they are saying they were led astray when Ray Franz happened. But it will all be declared as necessary to remove the weeds until the harvest time is so close that we now need to be kinder and show mercy, letting Jehovah decide which are now weeds.

  Excellent points! The accountants and lawyers are watching their retirement plans going up in smoke while the governments pull their funding based on causing harm to young members by 1) compelling children to get Baptized™ before they are mature enough to understand the gravity of that decision and 2) Disfellowshipping™ these young people for behaviour befitting young people who by virtue of hormonal disruptions and becoming aware of alternatives to the JW lifestyle, have their eyes opened to other options available. Also 3) JWs who wish to save the life of a child who needs a blood product to do so.

  Then there are the CSA lawsuits piling up and draining away even more of the billion$ in reserve at WTBTS HQ.

  That's why they are constantly crying out for CA$H INFUSIONS.
