Now we know where that expensive scotch was used. I have never been drunk enough to make that big a fool of myself

Please don't give them new ideas!

by Lost in the fog in

spotted this question on another site.

my first thought was "please don't give the local elders another excuse to badger those leaving.

" mind you we haven't signed non-disclosure agreements like this person did.. https://www.cultnews101.com/2019/05/can-i-be-sued-by-former-cult-i-was.html?m=1 .

The reason for suing is aften to intimidate people. Sound familiar?

In need means the suffering "brothers of christ";

I propose using a koolaid container

not sure if this is being done in other countries, but here in canada they've just announced the need for holiday trailers for ldc volunteers to use.. they're hoping people will donate these evidently.

not some run-down thing, it's got to be a fairly recent model and also a fifth-wheel.. i guess this is where the more materialistic witnesses will have to step up!.

In fairness lots of camper parks will not let in older things (white trash syndrome) but the things will be used up

Interesting but sad video

by LoveUniHateExams in

very interesting, if very sad, youtube video by a young woman who grew up in a jw household.. i wonder how many more jw kids grew up in similar circumstances to this poor young lady?.

That business of horny elders is way to common. Some follow through, a lot more just wish. Remember it is about appearances, not a actual morality

what prevents me from getting baptized?

by road to nowhere in

todays wt what a bunch of hooey.

try: nobody can explain the beliefs from the bible; there are lots of "rules" beyond tdhe ones on morals enforced(beards, movies),.

the "gifts in men" are in the least incompetent overworked well meaning; but others are overbearing power hungry bullies.

todays WT what a bunch of hooey. Try: nobody can explain the beliefs from the Bible; there are lots of "rules" beyond tdhe ones on morals enforced(beards, movies),. the "gifts in men" are in the least incompetent overworked well meaning; but others are overbearing power hungry bullies. Having a job that pays well enough to actually live is discouraged as is getting any education or planning for a future retirement.

There was no mention of really studying the bible, coming to a realization of what was needed; it was all bullying.

Watchtower hires off-duty law enforcement

by Diogenesister in

an indignant law enforcement officer wrote kim & mikey to let them know watchtower had placed an advertisement on a facebook page dedicated to law enforcement staff only, looking to hire a fully uniformed and armed officer at $35 per hour.

the commission was for the memorial in a specified texan venue.. the officer was particularly miffed at the hypocrisy considering the terrible way law enforcement was portrayed in the 2018 convention video, where the jws had been herded into a field to be slaughtered by a large group of officers.

not to mention the fact they are only too willing to call police for their own protection, yet won’t do so when it comes to protecting children from potential or actual abuse.. https://youtu.be/-rpcsztnvyo.

Armed!? I remember how the program chair bragged about how they asked the police to not carry, and they didn't. I bet every one of those flatfoots had his backup if not his service side arm.

this is the same religion that used to picket churches. They now put carts on public sidewalks. Maybe there should be 7 burly (bikers") just stand there in front of them.

Back when I was well able to ignore apostates without help. The brothers made more trouble stopping traffic, redirecting it, and causing confusion instead of just letting us exit and get to our motel.
