how many of you dutifully told this lie to your friends as a kid?.
Most of us. Actually a selfish religion. Some did party days, not prom dances, costume getups,picnics. Mostly verboten now.-get in your time, no fun
My mom n dad were skeptics way back so I got to bday parties, Halloween, t giving. A school buddies mom gave me a real taste of xmas one year--decorating tree and the works
there have been a few exjw circuit overseers that have woken up, left the organization and have posted their experience on exjwreddit.
all of them deleted their accounts not long after for fear someone might figure out who they were.
it’s not easy waking up as a circuit overseer.
Whoever it was at the xtime of overlapping bs seemed to have lost his zeal. I did

i just discovered this translation into 'hawai'i pidgin' and for some reason found it very amusing.
they even dubbed the caleb and sophia cartoons into this dialect.. not because i look down on pidgin speakers in any way, more about the way translations like this are revealing and telling in unintended ways..
Let me guess. A million dollar translating office for a few hundred speakers who use it only for tourists.
How about a run down tenement for ghetto speakers? More of them.
abc news, stephanopoulos settle defamation lawsuit with trump, pay $15 million, apologize.
trump has started winning even before he takes office.
in other news, it is unclear what will be the fate of fbi director christoper wray who authorized the invasion of trumps home and the rummaging through his wife's underwear drawer.. .
Speech to text and spell check will be the downfall of mankind.
yesterday's wt study; giving to help others of course mentioned contributions to jw.org.
the example was covid.
what a crock.
Yesterday's WT study; giving to help others of course mentioned contributions to jw.org. the example was covid. What a crock. The disaster was manmade from start to finish with over reactions and stupidity. The org provided aid consisted of government boxes of soft potatoes and moldy cabbage. I'm sure any good produce was skimmedby the bigwig elders.
...put a christmas wreath that featured the jw.org logo on your door?
🤔.
Who would waste money to do it?
Howzabout tge logo on a fence post and crown tie pin. Pioneers can sell them for support
jehovah’s witnesses boast that theirs is a “spirit-directed organization”.. see w88 3/1 pp.
10-17 (my life in jehovah’s spirit-directed organization).
they believe that their deceased founder, charles taze russell (who faced legal action by his wife for inappropriate behavior in his maids bedroom), is directing the modern-day work of jehovah’s witnesses.. after the founder, c t russell died, it was stated that he was still directing the work from heaven.. "though pastor russell has passed beyond the veil, he is still managing every feature of the harvest work.
Looks like a photo bombed picture. Did they really assemble or is it another photo shop.
Not infallible but don't cross them

Marry a MS, pioneer, etc. By their standards I am the worst husbsnd around when actually you will have to look hard to find any nearly as good and they almost always are non JWs.
There are the peas in a pod career pioneers and up who are actually leeches

Nothing scheduled here but they slip things in last minute. Has your wife caught attention for an indiscretion? Or is there some hanky panky? It could be just the talk in rotation from regular outlines and they just happened to mention it.
Here goes: common sense tells us a stable marriage is better for society and details of arrangements and personalities (and bedroom practices) are no one else's business. Just saved you an hour.
the concept of strategic deception exists in several religious and ideological contexts.
in this article, we will explore and compare the theocratic warfare doctrine of the watchtower society and taqiyya in islam.
both concepts have parallels in their mechanisms of permitting deception for religious purposes but differ significantly in their application and historical roots.. 1. theocratic warfare: the "rahab method".
Unusual for me to read anything that long. Points right on. I will add atheist, governments, skeptics employ the same for their "god" be it a nation, race, sky daddy.
Of course the GB abd JWs will say only they are right and entitled to such.
