The most circulated, most popular magazine has now faded into the sunset. I thought they said that reading the Watchtower and Awake is equivalent to a college education. In what degree of study is not clear, but close to clown college or use car salesman.

Remember how it felt before you woke up. Living forever in a Righteous World.
by pistolpete ini woke up early in life.
it’s not because i was smarter than my brothers and sisters.
in fact, reflecting back, i actually don’t know why i didn’t embrace the watchtower teachings?

If it sounds too good to be true it may not be. That's Watchtower 's little world. Beside I would not want to live forever with these self-righteous, self-centered pricks anyway. It is better to rule in hell then serve these pricks in a "paradise ".

Yes I somewhat feel sorry for JW'S. But those who hate me for not believing Watchtower crap and say that I'm the seed of the devil because I woke up. I have no pity.

The camp of Israel and the problem of pooping
by FFGhost inso, in a couple weeks, the jws move on in their bible-reading slog to the book of deuteronomy.. take a gander at deuteronomy 23:12,13:.
a private place should be designated for use outside the camp, and there is where you should go.
13 a peg should be part of your equipment.

Double Speak from last night's CLAM
by eyeslice innow that there are no meetings to physically attend, i am in a position where i listen in to my wife's zoom calls.
i thought some of the ideas in last week's clam were a bit strange, for instance they harped on about being 'friendly' to non-jws but not to become 'friends' with them.
the poignant question being put to the audience; 'what is the difference between being friendly to an unbeliever and being his friend?'.

JW's will be a friend as long as you agree with their crap. But as soon as you point out the holes in their crap. They are no longer so friendly. Some will walk away and you will never see them again. Others will argue their point.

It is comical seeing what the Governing Idiots say on their programs. Always stupid and a good laugh. " the last of the last of the last days".

May JW Broaadcast - so bad, "it's not even wrong"
by FFGhost indon't know how many of y'all still watch it.. this month's topic is "the king of the north" - cook goes into monotonous detail over the jw interpretation about rome, germany, ussr, russia, etc.. leaving aside for other commentators the emotionally manipulative videos of jws in russian holding cells, the tearjerker interviews, the god-awful stiffness of cook (i suspect he has never genuinely smiled, much less laughed, in his 60+ years), just thought i'd comment on one topic.. the centerpiece of the program is a "morning worship" monologue from splane.
let's again just leave to the side the dude's pomposity, smugness, and inflated sense of his own genius, and think about this part of his monologue.. he was tracing the history of the "king of the north" and talked about how "britain" (not england, not the united kingdom, not great britain, but "britain" - no idea why they have that fixation - anyway...) became the kotn in the 19th century.. paraphrasing his comments: "britain would not have become kotn if france had its way.
france was much wealthier and more powerful, but at the battle of waterloo, britain defeated france.

Everytime these GB guys start to explain things my hair starts to hurt. Like when the Overlapping Generation was explained. WTF. Talk about craziness at best.

Anyone have stories about this?
by Biahi injust reading on reddit...witnesses coming over to someone’s home after a death in the family to ‘pick over’ their possessions or asking about if they left any money to the cult?
i remember, at my previous place of employment, a mexican immigrant at my workplace, had converted to jw from catholic, although i did try to talk him out of it.
this has to be over 25 years ago.

When my father died the "Brothers " wanted to know if anything was going to be willed to the Org. Us kids made sure that our mom was going to benefit from Dad's passing. Not Watchtower.

An American Religion?
by no-zombie ini have a question.. have every member of the governing body (past and present) been american citizens?.
while i understand that some may have been born outside of the us, ultimately to serve in the world hq long term, i imagine that they all had to become 'americans'?.

Watchtower is not for the US Government, but sure benefits from it's tax free structure as a charity. But really a Real Estate Business.
