"You don't get a second chance to make a first impression" AAWA

by yesidid in

the first impression one has of any group or organization is its name.

that is my problem with "the name'.

active, or even questioning witnesses will undoubtedly be alarmed by the connotation of name.

I have not read about the "name controversy" that is going on about AAWA, just noticed that this subject has come up again and again in different posts.

People, relax. There is a whole universe of possibilities out there. This is what the WT thaught us: black-and-white thinking.

There is JW.net, there is jwfacts, there is AAWA, there is........... a whole gamut of different ways to do the same thing. It's like restaurants, you will find 10 different Italian restaurants in town and I bet the Lasagne tastes slightly different if you try them all.

Let's be thankful that nowadays people have this diverse universe of possibilities to get information about this cult. Hey even Rick Fearon (is that how you spell his name?) has his place in this "universe". Everybody has different tastes and if it doesn't appeal to you: good one, move on.

AAWA is not the "ULTIMATE AND LAST ex-JW ORGANISATION". It's just one more arrow shooting into the air. It's like the Spartacus movement: gauls & barbarians & greeks all fighting in diverse ways for the same common cause.

Personally, I never read ONE single argument from apostate websites, never even went to the "evil www" to check things out. 10 years of Bet-HELL service where enough for me to leave cold turkey. Had seen. heard enough and came to my own conclusions.

Disfellowshipped from Bethel??

by gma-tired2 in

my question is it harder to be reinstated if you were disfellowshipped while at bethel.

i have someone who i worry about because of fear what he might do?

he has been denied at least twice even though he goes to all meeting and has tried so hard..

BluePill2

Barbara, thats easy!

1. Write the letter

2. Crumple the letter, until you have a nice little ball

3. Throw it into the air. If it gets snatched up, then they are for real and will read his letter. If it falls down to earth...well, move on and get a Life.

What's the most extreme thing you ever did to apply Matt 6:33?

by Julia Orwell in

as it's conflated with witnessing, meetings and so forth...what's the most extreme sacrifice you made for those things?

for me it was my mental health and maybe a career in something cooler than being an office fungus.. you?.

At 18: Falling in Love with a stunning, beautiful - NON WITNESS - girl and telling her that our relationship is impossible, because...

At 20: Winning a full paid scholarship by a big European corporation. They found my application and I was invited for interviews - me and 300 other students - only 3 got the invitation > Paid studies, traveling abroad to do internships in several of their offices all over the world, renting fully paid, and a job guarantee after the studies where over. Instead: I started pioneering... YES, I KNOW I'M AN IDIOT!

At 21: marrying, way to young, a Regular Pioneer. That's it. Regular Pioneer = Ideal wife.

At 25: Started selling stuff to support my Pioneering, made one fantastic-mega Sale and banked an instant commission of around 15.000 US$ - I was broke, and barely meeting ends needs - than the CO sweet talked me to contribute for the new KH: I donated the WHOLE FRICKING SUM (again: I'm an IDIOT)....

At 26: Going to Bet-HELL and spending the next 10 years, well, forget about what I was going to write.

All for the Kingdom Baby, the Kingdom of Heaven!

Yep it IS harder. The elders will be hell bent to bring him back in, because he was "special" and "houlier than thou" and should therefore have known...

SO WHY DID THE WATCHTOWER RETAIN WICKED WORLDLY ATTORNEYS?

by nowwhat? in

in appealing the conti case why why did the wt retain non-witness lawyers?

they are from the world!!

who knows what kind of detestable things they engage in?

BluePill2

Interestingly they do have their own lawyers. The Borg has been for years sending "suitable" Bethelites to Law school (paying for all the expenses) to have their "own" breed of defendants. They only use them in certain kind of cases. If the dirt really hits the fan, they prefer to use "worldly" lawyers, as they can do things that they wouldn't allow their own to do (worldly people are OK, as long as they do the shit work for them!)

Aaaah, I forgot. "Suitable" as in: totally fanatical-brainwashed Gestapo-like guys that will NEVER EVER speak, talk or leave Bet-HELL.

At least every single one that I've meet during my Bet-HELL times was like that.

Now excuse me, bringing those memories up my poor brain, I have to go and or have a few (aaah, who am I kidding, there is not enough booze to make me forget)

Okay I believe the Andre thing now.

by Sharpie in

before, i was thinking, this whole thing with the character the writing department has must be a coincidence.

they must use other names?.

nope.

BluePill2

Hey! Someone could put up a fake "Andre" Facebook page and re-create his wonderful JW Life and befriend lots of Witnesses. If they check him out in the Literature: BAHM, they WILL find him....and maybe more...

Bbbbuuuaaahahahahahahaaaa....

You see, Andre is like this guy from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" (I have not read the book, because ...ahh, just read the reviews at Amazon about her writing style),

He is a...

...Billionaire

...plays perfectly the piano

...never works

...has a pilot licence

...was a former elite soldier

...is a brain surgeon

and only 21 years old.

Or Andre is more like the Watchtowers Forrest Gump: been everywhere, done everything!

WT just follows good principles of FICTION writing.

What Is Security Like At The Bethel Compound ?

by frankiespeakin in

just currious, when i was there you could sneak in but now security is a lot tighter..

BluePill2

Also certain areas (like Service Department - all the "juicy stuff") are double locked. Some with number keypad and double doors (like a bank - you have to close the door behind you and then you open the next one). They are pretty paranoid that someone could steal certain kind of documents.

Damn, after Vatileaks, we need Towerleaks...

Internet is right now mocking Memorial tract - hurry before taken down by BORG. Here is the link

by BluePill2 in

remember the guys that started the shit storm with the deaf sign language video?

the multiple funny versions at youtube?.

this time they are mocking the tract (the guy that started this isn't even a ex-jw, but they are pretty good at taking down cults!).

This is fantastic. Love Gordon Ramsey...
