son of thunder is saying he has relatives that we're running bethel in egypt for years and they have been let go reassigned as special pioneers yet according to him this job no longer pays a wage.

he also states that 5000 total bethelites world wide are being let go.

Wow. You know something. A psychologist would have a field day here analysing the rheteric being listed here. Although not mentioned here. What I see is John Cedars never lies - Mike and Kim always lie! I see black and whit ethinking is alive and well.
We do know people can make mistakes? And we do know mistakes are corrected, as have been. Unlike cedars who lies about just about everything. Including his not so honest activism 😋
Its a bit like Russia is bad and the US/UK is good when this is not the case when we delve a little deeper.

If all the world were JWs....

in my former indoctrinated state, i used to yearn for a time when all the world would be jws.

but hang on minute, let's just think about what the world would be like if everyone was a jw,.

first of all, no higher education, so no medical advances, no scientific research, no modern day medicine, infectious disease rife, no doctors, no engineers, so no modern day comforts.

Imagine what Facebook would be like!

Instead Of the like button, this would be the marking button.

All posts would be closely scrutinised by "elders," if anyone steps out of line, (like posting a dog picture,) instead of everything watchtower, there would be a cyber visit arranged by two cyber elders. If it is a wanton act of "apostasy" then three elders would be cyber arranged. When your judged to be guilty, you would be banned from, not only Facebook, but the internet!

Poking will be banned, as this may stir up unnatural sexual desire.

A direct "praise us" button to the gobod.

Messenger will be exclusively used for the purpose of "shepherding."

Although dog video's would be a no no, Panda video's and video's of kids playing with Lions and Tigers would be encouraged.

Thoughts during the meeting today

by stephanie61092 in

while i'm politely sitting during the meeting today, restraining myself from rolling my eyes as the brother drones on about how "having an independent spirit is devilish in nature" and "independence from gods organization only results in pain and strife", i only have one thought going through my mind over and over.

"what would happen if i pulled out a gun and blew my brains out in this kingdom hall?".

would anyone notice or care?

They would all be collectively thinking, your never going to be resurrected. You took your own life, therefore you hate Jehovah's precious gift of life!

Do you think JWN members would be surprised if they got to know you in real life?

i don't think you'd recognise me much at all.

i'm a royal mail postman, i love my job for the early starts and midday finish, the outdoors and the exercise.. i get on with people but i'm quite insular and don't enjoy crowds.

i'm happiest when i've fired up the charcoal and i'm making souvlaki or adana kebabs for my family and a few close friends.

My online persona is who I am offline. I am not for hiding who I am personality wise. Simply put, what you see is what you get. If you don't like it, not my problem. I'm done with constantly feeling like I need to watch my p's & q's.
I think this is called having self respect. ;)

jehovah's witness door to door pamphlets are actually alright.

and their religion isn't that bad either.

Let's hope he does Barbara. Something tells me he probably wasn't expecting the reaction he got ;)

jehovah's witnesses 'ordered destruction' of notes which could have been used during child sexual abuse inquiry.

Also, I would like to add. There are certain individuals within the activist community who are trying to shrug off the huge child abuse problem within the watchtower. Not everyone we may trust is exactly who they say they are, nor are they out to bring down the watchtower, one brick at a time!
