  hi everyone, i got the news that the lawsuit against the watchtower for the child abuse issue has been accepted in quebec(canada).

  I Phones At Bethel Going On The Internet Umonitored

  i would have to say now that practically every has one what do you think this will means for situations at bethel, will more and more get wise that the governing body are just conmen?

  .

  i think things are already very unsettling with all the leaked private information from so many sectors of the watchtower corporation's confidential stuff on the internet to me bespeaks something major is in the works back there in the spiritual pair dice..

  I mean I don't know how these things work, somebody could ask Atlantis if he's willing to share but honestly it's probably better he doesn't, but all you need is a flash drive, I can't imagine you can trace those or know who they belong to when you stick them in a port, and all you need is two minutes to copy the files you want when Brother Superior goes to make a cup of coffee or use the bathroom. And then you just leak it through your own data plan instead of using the Warwick Wi-Fi that 'responsible brothers' so 'lovingly' monitor.

  You can't keep secrets forever. The more secrets you have, the more secrets get out.

  Man the faithful slave sure does put donated funds to good use. Child sex abuse lawsuits and settlements, business class flights, best lawyers in the country, I mean how much more faithful could they be?

  Ending Bible Study

  by Maria Nieves in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been studying with jehovah's witnesses for approximately two years.

  initially, i liked the studies and felt that i was growing closer to god.

  however, as the studies progressed, they seemed to become increasingly negative and i did not like what i was being taught.

  Incognito, well said. It means at some level you worry that they'll get angry with you or try to shame you. Real friends don't do that.

  You got their number? Tell them by text and block their number, or leave a note on the door that they'll see when they arrive and dont open it when they knock, you don't even need to talk to them directly.

  False Predictions

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  what you will not be told at the door bythe jehovah’s witnesses.

  the jehovah’s witness (or watchtower bible and tract society) have made the followingpredictions which appear in their own literature:.

  1. that jesus would return by 1874. when jesus failed to appear, the witnesses claimedthat it was an unseen, spiritual return.

  It's like Jehovah's Witnesses suffer from this bizarre collective amnesia where they just forgot that they hear the same thing all their life and heard it for years if not decades. Personally, I think they either tune it out because they hear it so often or more likely if they call it to mind they get embarrassed that they believed these kind of prophecies so when they fail it's easier to just pretend they never believed them and the leadership never said them because the alternative means feeling gullible or, and this one's even scarier, maybe the faithful slave don't know what they're talking about. And then they go on to dupe others whether they mean to or not, and make excuses to themselves like Even if it's not true it's still the best way of life, that kind of thing. Which is patent nonsense...

  Perfect response

  i was hoping to get some advice on what to say to a parent who wouldn’t support you to get married to a “worldy person”.

  always bringing up “marry only in the lord” even when that hasnt worked out for the parent, twice divorced lol.

  is there a way to discredit that scripture or argue back respectfully without giving away that you are pimo?.

  What does marry in the Lord even mean? It's vague, if Paul (or whoever stuck that into Paul) meant Only marry believers why didn't he just say Only marry believers. And frankly, who cares what Paul said? Paul also said All things are lawful for me. So marry who you want: all things are lawful for you too.

  When I get stressed out I tend to have nightmares, they're not full on Stephen King-esque. Once in awhile I get sleep paralysis, and I saw the clown from It one night in my grandparents' guest room, scared the hell outta me. All that to say you're not alone, and the nightmares should go away with the pain.
