  Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?

  by olongapo joe in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  just wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.

  i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.

  Million miles away?

  Totally inaccurate... Ol' Chuck is laying about 5 miles from where I'm sitting right now.

  And Wing Commander appears to be angry about practices that the majority on this board once held dear instituted by an organization whose policies you personally do not control.

  in your request you didn't come off as arrogant nor did you require anyone to obey. Heck... People ask for money all the time.

  Wing, I can't think of a post you've made that I didn't appreciate but right now, you aren't speaking for me. I am quite capable of declining a request without being insulting. This guy did not create your problem. The intensity of your anger makes me wonder if you've ever assaulted a street beggar. I mean... if this is all it takes. Jeez

  And C'mon! Did anyone REALLY know Lett had a face made of rubber before JW TV?

  still love ya

  From the outside distrust is just embedded into the JW mindset. Over time that may change.

  Scared and lonely, as a non and never have been JW, my recommendation to you is to stay grounded in what your goals are. Someone else's inability or apprehension to trust you IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. Do not add to your existing challenges by making their problems yours. And STOP apologizing.

  "I'm hurting." .... "you're a liar AND a troll!" It's like I'm watching Trump in a debate.

  Personally, I don't need protection from the self appointed Troll Police Force and I'd be glad to make myself available to help you understand the general mindset of non-JWs from my perspective.

  Let me know how or if I can help you.

  Pepper is the best at acquiring literature from carts and witnesses and tossing it. 😀

  Ninety tossed is phenomenal. I have to guess you're better at acquisition and disposal than you were at distributing. Heehee

  Lacking some of the pieces in the puzzle

  i had a chance last weekend to talk with an elder i used to serve with.

  a very kind hearted and understanding elder, always showing sympathy and concern for others, looking out for the little guy, the downtrodden and oppressed, even willing to stand up to uncaring company-men co's .

  he was po way back then and became the cobe in the new re-0rg, until, that is, the gb came out with the age limit.

  These are the types of things that may contribute to multiple people's awakening amongst those that know the real story.

  C'mon WTS - keep making these calls. It's only getting worse for you.

  I have been no less than SCREAMED at and .... I guess you could call it non JW shunned behind this. This would have been GOLDEN some time ago.

  I showed it to the very person who lost their mind when I said in essence the same thing and the response?...

  "we all know that."

  I hate this cult

  Worshipping the Governing Body

  it is very obvious that jehovah's witlesses worship the faithful and discreet slave.

  during last sunday's washtowel study, everyone bowed before them for the excellent job they did in translating the new bible into so many languages and for the direction they give to the congregation.

  (i guess i sorta thought that jesus was in charge of the congregations.

  😀. My JW friend said that he had some theocratic work he had to do.

  To a non JW that sounds very pompous.

  Told him I had to look the word up. The definition? Priceless!

  On a cell phone so I can't copy paste. Typing is tedious

  Google "theocratic definition" the 2nd option made me laugh even harder.

  GB bites off more than they can chew!

  the gb bit off more than they can chew.

  they promised that the nwt revised would be available in so many languages by now, and they have failed miserably.. english stands alone.

  as a result, they are in damage control mode.
