It's allow yourself to be wronged, I miswrote that.

For couples: Commitment

If you are committed to your marriage, you allow yourself to be wrong. You are quick to forgive and quick to apologize. You view problems as obstacles, not deal breakers. -Micah

What do you mean allow yourself to be wronged, you mean let your husband smack you around if you're Selma, or stay with him even if you fear for your life and safety like it said in a recent Watchtower? And why would you apologize if someone wrongs you, those two don't make any sense, if you did nothing wrong you shouldn't apologize. What horrendous advice for women coming from another one of their anonymous source, Micah, let's call her Andrea that's how legit she is.

The advice might as well amount to Lay down and take it. Fuck these people.

The Classification Sheep & Goats Come From Reaction To The Good News Preached By Members Of The Watchtower Bible & Tract Society

by Brokeback Watchtower in

it seems that the more one analyzes the wt premise that people are being judged by jehoho and his angelic lackeys on their responses to the messages they proclaim as good news of the kingdom(destruction of all the governments of the world by god's kingdom), the more flaws one sees in such an arrangement.. firstly why would jehoho judge people as worthy of everlasting annihilation because they don't respond appropriately to an organization's membership drives house to house service calls?

surely jehoho needs to take into account that they have a very bad child abuse problem that sullies their reputation as his representatives, surely an intelligent reasonable almighty god would find this a very poor touch stone to judge people on especially when their everlasting life is at stake.. all these court cases of child molestation lawsuits brought against wt corporation we now see being broadcast all over the internet should make an intelligent god like jehoho see that this is a very bad idea or way to judge people and that all the people classified as sheep with this process will just get you a bunch of gullible desperate people without any critical thinking(which when you think of it pretty much describes a sheep).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucju-ey1tyg&t=68s.

I remember seeing an Our Kingdom Ministry prompt where it encouraged Witnesses to explain what you just described, that Jesus would judge them worthy of survival or not depending on how they responded to the door-to-door preaching. Can you just imagine going up to someone and saying that on their porch or on the street.

'Good morning, how you doing today? You better listen up and do what I tell you cuz if you don't Gods gonna kill you any day now.'

It's such an obvious threat. That's what it.

Disfellowshipping - abusing our evolutionary development

by Anony Mous in

i just saw the video from kursgezagt on loneliness and it points out the biological reasons for social interaction, it also points out the reason we experience social pain in loneliness, basically, because in the recent past (a few hundred years ago) isolation meant you were very likely to die so our bodies and brains adapted to know when the circumstances of this dangerous situation emerged.. this immediately made me think about the disfellowshipping and social isolation that jw’s practice - it’s basically abusing our own evolutionary biology against ourselves and puts you in a cycle of loneliness, depression with the only ‘cure’ going back to the acceptance of the social group and accepting their ‘quirks’..

john.prestor

Yes, the leaders of religious groups like Jehovah's Witnesses take advantage of the fact that we're a social species, a social animal. I think you're 100% right.

"by their fruits you will know them."

by stillin in

you would think that the adherents of the world's only true religion would also be the best people in the world.

the witnesses use the words "cultivate godly qualities" like a mantra, over and over.

the believers feel that their attendance at meetings and their field service put them in line to gain god's favor as exceptional people.. the problem is that they aren't.
