  by Listener in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this months broadcast is presented by losche and he discusses the need for trust in the fds.

  the following is transcribed from the 12.30 mark.. satan also has the scheme to spread rumors about our brothers including the faithful slave.

  the method of spreading rumors is not new.

  I have a "reasonable degree" of trust in the WT leadership.

  After many years of consideration, I have found that the only reasonable thing to do in connection with the WT leadership is to NOT TRUST THEM AT ALL!

  Let's review: It's a cult!

  The strange case of Gerrit Losch

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one of the recent molest cases had a signed declaration of gerrit losch, stating he has no relation with watchtower and that he has no control over watchtower and he does not answer to watchtower.. this month he is hosting the watchtower broadcasting show, on a watchtower media chanel, with a watchtower president starring as co-host, with statements, media and music that have intellectual ownership and copyright by watchtower.. gerrit is asking on broadcasting for respect for “the slave”, just like jehova and jesus respect “the slave” and will even reward them.. are the writers of the statement too stupid to see the correlation between teaching and practicing?.

  these man are proven liars.. how can hold this firewall stand?

  it’s so thin.. a judge can see this mismach isn’t it??.

  Here's the quote from a signed Declaration by Governing Body member, Gerrit Lösch, dated February 4, 2014 and filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego:

  ‘I do not answer to Watchtower. […] Watchtower does not have, and has never had, any authority over me.’

  And here, for your viewing pleasure, is a link to a copy of that Declaration:

  • Declaration of Gerrit Lösch

  It's important to remember that Lösch had been a member of the Governing Body for almost twenty years when he signed this Declaration.

  Is My Wife Awakening?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  every now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.

  i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.

  for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  Wild Thing: My mom and the other elder wives made us get out our songbooks and sing "Kingdom Melodies" to drown them out so we couldn't hear what they were saying. It was crazy!

  Freddo found it!

  This just shows what small-minded idiots many JWs can be. They can't even follow their own stupid rules.

  Great video. Tali Sharot's work is impressive. I really appreciate her simple way of explaining complex and irrational human behavior.

  Thanks for sharing this video, BBW!

  PE: I wonder what their stance is on women shaving their pubic hair?

  I'm fond of a well-trimmed bush.

  SG: I think that God could have picked someone better to lead his only true religion.

  God only had about 8 billion better choices.

  FedUpJW: I refer anyone who claims to be "stumbled" to this Bible verse. Then I ask them why they do not love God's law?

  I've done the same. Then I wait for it ... Deer-in-the-headlights every single time!
