that;s what my wife (and all jw's) gets to hear about us at the kingdom hall today, (hmmmm, i wonder if she'll raise her hand to answer this one) ... .
watchtower study ... today, apostates and others who create divisions in the congregation use “smooth talk and flattering speech.” (romans 16:17, 18) they may pretend to care about others, but in reality, they are selfish.. (the watchtower - study edition (simplified version) 10/17 page 4 paragraph 7).
In my experience, it’s the elders disrespecting and blatantly violating appropriate family boundaries “who create divisions in the congregation.”
In that context I’d completely agree with the follow-up statement: “They may pretend to care about others, but in reality, they are selfish” tools, mindlessly obeying their cult programming.
can anyone give me a valid reason for it?
growing old is a drag.
the witnesses idea of ever lasting life, that you will come back to your most youthful state is such a bs answer..
Jayk: JP is the witness lady who wanted to "study cheese" with her ever lasting life.
Wow, it’s truly amazing how you just “get me!”
Were we lovers in another life? Of course, you’d have been the woman who I didn’t know what she wanted. But you sure do get me, yes you do! 🤪
Although, I am a little confused about why you’d think I’m a “lady.” Can you not see my DDL avatar? See the beard? Do you not know who John Proctor was? The Crucible?
I’m guessing: No.
Jayk: Insulting someones grammer (sic) is pretty low.
Actually, confusing “your” and “you’re” is a spelling error, not bad grammar—which, by the way, you also misspelled.

Jayk, the singular fact that you don’t know the difference between “malt liquor” and single malt whiskey is conclusive proof of your devastatingly massive ignorance.
Life isn't all about getting drunk and having sex
No it isn’t. Why would you even say such a completely stupid thing? Again you prove your limited capacity to imagine anything worthwhile by bringing up such a base, worthless thing. Joe Six-pack’s got more going on than you.
FYI: my imagination takes me places you could never ... well you wouldn’t understand if I explained it in primary colors and monosyllabic words.
i think i made a thread like this a couple of years ago but i can't remember what was said and i'd rather have a new discussion anyway.. what's different in the wts since i left it behind in 2006?.
Well, it’s still a cult!
jw's will never knock on your door and say, "hi, we are here to convert you".
speaking to a reporter recently a jw media rep at hq said " our main purpose going door to door is not to convert but to share bible truths with people".
does anyone know the sales techniques involved here?
Oh, I now see LisaRose said it first!
😉👍

Yes, it’s called lying.
the first study article is about getting bible studies and children baptized.
there is much more emphasis placed on parents to get their own children baptized rather than focusing on bible students.
they try to impress on others the need for urgency.
I looked for loopholes in our publications
This implies the publications are law. They are not, but the WT leadership wants you to believe they are.
we all know that this cult will drive those trying to leave to desperate measures, and today by brother was very nearly one of those statistics.
he slashed his thigh with a kitchen knife and was bleeding out until he called the police.. i got a call on my way home from work from a police officer, coincidentally it was one of my old friends from school who's now a cop.
he told me my brother is in hospital after an attempted suicide and has lost some blood but will be ok. but i should get to the hospital as he's asking for me.
PE, sorry to hear all of this, but very glad you were able to go be with your brother if only for a bit.
Yeah, I too hate this cult!
we want people to learn ttatt.
we have numerous resources online to draw jws in so that they will wake up.
however, i've noted some radical methods that have been used by fellow exjws, and quite frankly, this must stop.

POMO: Stop harassing jws ... quite frankly, this must stop.
Or what?
How do you not see that you are doing to us here EXACTLY what you are telling us not to do?
