  Dropped my family off at the thought control assembly 🙄

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  well that's my family dropped off at the assembly for their mind control charge up.

  .

  from what my 2 sisters (non witnesses) in ireland said about my mother (pioneer) after her assembly, was that she seemed to more fanatical and that they couldn't change the subject as obsessed with the end etc.. i hope their mind control coercive talks don't have too much impact on my family.

  They push the persecution mantra a lot, and worst times ever. Along with last minutes last day

  If you knew any oldtimers who came out of the depression and WW2 it was worse then

  Do You Think “Higher Education “Is All That??

  as jehovah’s witnesses, we were regularly told how awful a college education is.

  i’m no longer associated with the religion but i am not so pro university.

  it’s not because i think you are better off without a degree.

  Older JWs who go Overseas to Live

  by LongHairGal in

  i know of two older couples who have gone overseas to live in recent years.

  one could be classified in my opinion as a “need greater” although i think it might also have to do with getting more for their money.

  the other i think was seeking out a cheaper and more naturally beautiful environment to live in their retirement years.. what i wondered is if these people are disenchanted and bored with life in the states.

  Big joke is need greaters move to a place that needs them because so many move there.

  They also almist always abandon a congregation that needs them to start with.

  It is all about a cushy retirement

  Challenge a professor and you will flunk. There are too many stories about having to agree with the latest political dogma.

  Naturally i cant find a reference now. J ran across a bully being a drunk.

  Liquid courage equals lessening of inhibitions and common sense and increases combativeness

  Hypocritical elders

  by JimmyYoung in

  2. beliefs

  i used to work with an elder every day for several years.

  one thing that helped me out of the cult was his hypocrisy.

  our work was in construction and it would often run us late for meetings.

  the phrase “pray now, pay later” appeared in a headline of the philadelphia “inquirer” in reporting on a church experiment due to go into effect shortly.

  a group of ten u.s. religions, including some major lutheran, episcopal, methodist and baptist denominations, have decided to try church collections by credit card.w75 11/1 p. 651 - the watchtower—1975.

  WT pay 3٪? Surely they have an angle.

  As for the rest, a debit is a usual way to handle money now. The spiritual benefit is as great or greater in churches. There is an argument that the small local outfit needs support for ehatever community good they do. My donations go locally only to support what my wife receives.

  How old is old?

  by joey jojo in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  having a conversation with a pimi elder and i asked him how he deals with the fact that he never expected to get old.

  i get the feeling that some dubs still have the original generation explanation hard-wired, even though they claim to accept the new version.

  so my question is, how old do you have to be to be considered old?
