  Lines you would never hear from a Jehovah's Witness

  a slightly tongue in cheek, but also serious roundup of jw speak and why trying to reason with them is like trying to chip through concrete with a plastic spoon.. how many can you think of??.

  elder: 'yes.

  i read through the material you asked me to at your judicial meeting - you're right we're both in a cult!

  Hey, lets take a collection and see if we can help those Refuges that just arrived in our community. If anyone has any extra pots, pans or furniture they don't need, it would really appreciated.

  What is the difference between a birthday party and the wingdings we seem to have everyday four days.

  It is almost like Secular people plan annual events so they can live productive lives and work on there careers, homes, projects etc etc, while we have to waste every waking minuting preparing for the next bash, gala, function, reception and soiree.

  a pair of young blokes came to my door @ 10am (ish) today (wednesday, if that matters).

  i opened the door a crack to : hi!

  just asking a question: do you think that the world is getting better or worse?*".

  Tell them that the worst time in human history was the 12th century when Genghis Khan and the Mongols killed 1 in 4 people in the known world, then followed by the black plague in the 13th century.

  Why didn't Jehovah end it all ??

  When my wife was pregnant , she was summoned into a backroom meeting with two elders about " their concerns " about her pregnancy. I showed up unannounced and basically ended it. It was about the blood issue.

  I later asked my wife who seemed to be prepared to die for god, if she even knew who wrote the book of Acts or could give me a brief summary of what the book was even about.

  Dead Silent.I am going to be loyal to the borg, just sure not why.
  

  I am dead serious, fuck these want-to-be Martyrs. Make them explain there nonsense using nothing but a bible and they are free to go. I am not even joking.

  Tell him he can be released when he can explain the " overlapping generation " just using a bible without any JW study aids.

  I Visited Auschwitz Two Days Ago

  auschwitz concentration camp in poland may not seem like a very happy vacation spot to visit.

  but, if you have a home, a family and your freedom - you will be far less likely to take these things for granted after visiting.

  we made the sobering decision to make the 2.5 hr.

  I grew up in a community of about 15,000 with a surrounding area of maybe 20,000 people. We had a single high school that had maybe 1800 students in it at any given time. The school had everything ( athletics, academics, trades, accelerated programs, remedial programs ). Being a weird JW kid , I seemed to make friends all over the place without really fitting into any group. I took a standard academic program with some trade classes.

  I am 50 years old now. Most of those people I haven't seen in 30 years. No big deal, life happens. Of course we have all reconnected on facebook.

  The funny thing I notice is the remedial kids seem to now be the resident experts on Vaccines, Ukraine , Chem Trails etc etc. You don't even need to pass high school level biology or chemistry to suddenly know more than all the world top scientists and doctors.

  Back to my original point, Visiting Auschwitz and still shitposting about transgenders is kind of disappointing. You figure there would be some kind of Road to Damascus moment but I guess not.

  I have an old friend , now just facebook friend who travels the world on a big inheritance. His facebook feed is nothing but this endless right wing tirade , most against trans-people or the LGBTQ community or whatever it is called. Not exactly my cup of tea but live and let live. I don't really care.

  He visits Auschwitz and talks about sad it is humans could do that to each other and then goes back to his endless tirade of shitposting.

  You didn't get it. The whole point. Fucking idiot.

  New instructions on not using sisters to manage KH computer ?

  by fifth.column in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  since covid in france, especially in the countryside with lack of brothers, it was quite common that some sisters were using the computer at the back of the kingdom hall to manage zoom session.. i heard a rumor that new instructions, maybe a july letter, stated that this was reserved for male only, even unbaptised publishers, but no sister if there is at least a male available.

  that would be a steps back and disappointment for these sisters.

  last week i heard at my mom’s house how they were happy that this service was available for them, a proof that the org was moving forward.

  Being “ removed “ actually sounds worse. It is like they have a mob hitman on stand by ready to kill you.
