by Chook in

wt 1973 p568.

"did you know, for example, that mothers and fathers that stroke the genitals of their fretful babies to keep them quiet are unwittingly encouraging them to become maturbators later on?".

what sick fu... writing this article thought the the average person did this to keep kids quiet..

Chook

Is there any other statement of this calibre , these are the one which will help the stray sheep find the real Shepard.

Husband Turns Up With Circuit Overseer And Wife!

by disillusioned 2 in

my husband said he would be gone for the day.

the circuit overseer is at their cong and he trying to get brownie points.

i was just chilling watching tv with a cuppa, when i heard a car outside.

If confronted by them and can't escape ask them about their salaries and benefits, also ask are their jobs at risk due to cut backs, that will get them out pretty fast.

Lett is such a comedian..

by Festus in

cant help it but in this video - "win the inner struggle" - during the first minute he points to his head with his index finger.

and i was just waiting him to shout out loco loudly.... https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/vodprogramsevents/pub-jwbmw_201609_1_video.

and those facial expressions..sweet jesus!.

Could you imagine if mr Lett was before the ARC . It would have to make the rank and file wonder out of all annointed God would choose this guy to be the guiding force on earth. It doesn't reflect well on God.

Elder asking for help

by untruth in

this is my first time posting on here so i’m not sure where to start.

i’m trying to keep it as short as possible since i could expand much more.

i’ve been in the process of waking up in the last year and a half.

Hi untruth

you are in an unenviable position, I feel sorry for those born into this cult. Nearly all JWs have flat earth syndrome , I hope one day your wife can come around . The emotional roller coaster will be wild especially if your fellow elders smell blood . This religions legacy is broken families and some spouses will choose the cult over their spouse. You might be glad that there are no children, especially if you can't get wife to see the light. You will eventually have to decide how many days wasted in the cult verse freedom from slavery. May you be blessed in your endeavours and also you are in a great position to sow doubts. Again welcome aboard this forum.

Chook

I'm sorry to hear your mums got cancer, maybe ask her that you have doubts and seeing she has special position in heaven ask her to give you a sign so you can be certain Jah is in agreement with Brooklyn.

Why cant Judicial Committees be taped?

by HereIgo in

i have never understood this.

was it because of legal reasons?

i cant think of any other reason why it wouldn't be allowed, but i know the elders ask you repeatedly that you are not taping.

Chook

Couple of reasons, 1 - closed courts with no records for defendants can't be disputed on the grounds of it being conducted outside their guidelines.

2 - they can't be sued for mis conduct on their part or improper procedure.

3- verdicts will ALWAYS be correct in their eyes

4 - If wordly people ever really heard what was really said in JC they would know what a kangaroo court it really is.

im sure they got their Judical process from fat boy in North Korea,

Secrecy?

by HereIgo in

were any of you shocked by the secrecy in the org?

i remember hearing that elders have to turn in their "flock" books if they resign, get deleted, etc, i didn't even know they had their own books and i was an ms. is the bible not enough?

i remember i asked one of the elders if i could see my publisher record, they refused to show me!

Chook

The letter sent to next cong you attend . I always referred that letter as the undefendable slander, I even had a elder tell me that they slandered me in that letter, but couldn't tell me what was said .just like you said secrecy.
