shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".
quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.
the jws in the crowd gasped.

Muslims take priority Zeb. 5 Years ago I dismissed the whole White genocide claim as pure bunkum, it's getting harder to hold that line.
when i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.
Good point Data Dog, charity work would actually make people feel useful, it would do wonders for the depression epidemic.

good news or bad news first?
i'll do bad.. my grandmother is becoming more and more strict as i turn closer to 18, which is in 3 months.
i ask for the most simplest thing and it's like "let me think about it" i don't wanna seem as a complainer to you guys but i just want to be normal.
Ditto the girl next door, Your sister really need help right now and who better than you, somebody loyal and trustworthy for both of you. It will have difficult times with the young kids and their needs but it will help you mature quickly and if it works out you two will be closer than ever before.
does anyone else feel overwhelmed on what to believe?.
i've been doing lots of research on beliefs, evolution, creationism but i feel no further forward about what i truly believe.
for example i looked at the fossil record and tiktaalic and thought great it proves a lot but then i've seen counter arguments on youtube of people basically saying its a load of rubbish and doesn't prove anything.
i have listened to steven unthank`s podcast and found it very informative and interesting and thought i would ask this question for anyone who is still a practicing member either a pimo or a pomo who only goes along for a family member ,whether this doctrine is still a part of the religions teachings ,or whether it has been dropped altogether .. your replies are much appreciated ..
Hey Room 215, can you please provide a reference on the - 2013 usurpation of the FDS title by the governing body... there's no longer a "class."

we all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.
at least that is their official stance.
it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.
A similar call went out in Australia much more recently than 2015 - as per Sparkys letter, probably only 6 months ago.
a little backstory.
please comment, is the just childish imagination or something unexplainable.. when i was nine we lived in modbury, it’s a small town, in devon the southwest of britain.
we lived in a very hold house, several hundred years old and down the way was 2 battle sites of the english civil war (one a minor battle won by the royalist and a larger battle won by the parliamentarians which ultimately lifted the siege of plymouth).
...confronted by a a soldier dressed in full Roundhead battle dress.
Holy Moley!
trying to pull another motor cyclists handbrake on at 135 mph!!
this nut job should be banned for life!!.
the bbc news link shows this, while the youtube link reveals his past behaviour.
This is not a new trick by any means, really dirty and should be dealt with accordingly.
For those who would like an insight into what it is like to ride elbow to elbow at up to 200MPH, get a look at this, if you can watch it, I'm a long time rider and it makes me shudder.
last week was a big week for me in terms of coming totally clean to my wife and her being more than on board to leave the jw’s with me.
we know what to expect but things happen from family and it still hurts just as bad.
last night my wife got a long text message from her brother that has seemed to be in the fence and he told her that same guilt tripping rhetoric that the wt uses about life in the paradise etc.
if you just happened to be looking at this site because you have recently become associated with JW's and decided to learn a bit more from sources outside of "da troof", this is just one of hundreds of examples similar experiences to be found.
The warm welcome has big hooks with very sharp barbs and your exit path is sewn with emotional land mines.
