Those keenly following umbertoecho ARC Brief Update.

by MightyV8 in

i feel it is comfortable to say,.

yes her arc hearing has come and gone.. yes her hearing was so powerful, her allotted time was tripled!.

yes, information handed over "mind blowing" response from arc.

@umbertoecho Thanks a lot to you. You a brave one. I don't find the words, maybe the reason it's not my native tongue but I think the main thing is, there's no words for it. Thank you, for everything you go thru. For everything you have to bear. And be sure, if there is anything at the ARC or in the Australian news, it will be translated and spread - Germany, Australia, Switzerland and many more - we watching Australia an spread it, as much we can do. You make a big difference, so kudos and all the best wishes I can imagine.

Big hug to you

Elders, oh my God what a bunch of losers!

by Crazyguy in

ok i don't mean to put all of them into just one box so to speak, their are some that are smart successful etc.

but my god most of them are just wasted space, ignorant, no drive, horrible jobs, make nothing for income and the only thing in life they have going for them is this title.

no wonder so many will not wake up and hold on to this stupid cult, it's all they have.

crazy_flickering_light

Don't forget, a lot of BOE-Letters comes up, leaked by elders. But often the caught in the system. No way to stepping down, without a big lost. Lot of them trying to stay in "stealth-mode" to help the family get awoken. It's hard for them, to live on both sides.

And like everywhere, there also stupid ones.

Predictions for 2016

by LevelThePlayingField in

so, it's that time of year again.

here's a few of my predictions.

) no armageddon.

crazy_flickering_light

For me:

Getting caught for talking to df's, spreading TTATT in the cong and much more, joining a JC and have to step down, so I can start my fade. Maybe I can wake some more. Also hope that my "Plan B" works and I get more friends outside. And more time for working undercover. ;)

For the cult:

Until 09/2016 more money-grabbing, more dramatic changes, new light. Near 10/2016 something like a "big bang". The new cult-center in Warwick will be finished, a lot of money will be made until this time, all savings from the cong and halls will be transferred and also the new service year will be started. Perfect time I think. Only a sugestion.

What's happens after, I'm not sure. I think about two options: getting a videobased hardcore-cult or opens up a little bit - because of the ARC, drop a lot of wrong crap (607, shunning,...) via nu light and they have enough money to let the exodus happen. After that maybe a new cult will build, new name maybe.

One think I don't understand in the puzzle is the emergency-bag. Maybe very crazy shit is ahead. The uber-dubs buy pro-stuff for surviving outside, without any plan to use it. Have a lot of funny talks about hardware. And also the sugestion what to buy is trash/interesting. It contains water for a lot of days, but no filter. Food for some days but no hunting hardware. Nothing for protect you from bad air. And so on. Mainly it's focussed - in my opinion - to a world-ends-meeting somewhere, not for surviving in a real trouble outside a shelter or house. Maybe somebody get the same feeling?

(Sorry, if it's bad to read, not my native language.)

by HowTheBibleWasCreated in

i spend a month on vacation with no worry from the congregation overseas of course.

i grew a full beard now and with glasses i finally have posted my picture on facebook og me... next to half life 2 cover showing i look like gordan freeman lol.

crazy_flickering_light

I come from germany. But I heard this days from a guy who got a lot of trouble in a cong nearby. No microphone or something anymore.

And some days before I had a talk about beards with an elder. Freaky. I've been told, it's biblical. But it's not a thing, he will talk about it. ;) I think, the brother in my cong is only MS on borrowed time. If there's a way, he will be kicked, for any stupid reason they can find.

The MS in our cong wears something like: http://cdn.phillymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Beard-Transplant-Marquee-2.jpg

He make the opening in the cong on Sunday, give the usual talks and so on. So it's possible to be bearded, you only have to try it. ;)

I only know elders with moustache, maybe in bavaria they full bearded. If you a bearded MS no problems in our cong. 2 MS with 3-day-beard, one really full bearded.

So, don't worry about. And if they wan't to make trouble, use your option "2" ;)

Beards galore at the Assembly

by Truthexplorer in

ok, at our recent assembly, i noticed that there were quite a lot of brothers wearing beards.

not just the older dudes, but right across a range of ages, young men, middle aged men and older men.

is watchtower beginning to relax this rule at last?

crazy_flickering_light

In germany they got tolerant, it starts maybe 2 years before. Also the young ones don't understand why they couldn't be bearded. And a lot of them, don't be obsessed with being MS or something like this. If they got dropped from doing anythink in the cong, then it will be fine. But if it's allowed, it depends on the cong.

In my cong 3 MS bearded. 2 with 3-day-beard, one with a real beard, something like the picture 1 from Finkelstein. No problem, no talk by the elders or so. The full bearded guy also pray for the cong. So beard is no way to step down.

Morning all! Just here to say hi and join in the discussion

by park ave boy in

jw
friends

i'm happy to join every ex-jw.borg site i can and support in whatever way i can.

i now regularly donate to these sites when available.

i'm bitter but i don't hate jws because they were brainwashed like we all were.

crazy_flickering_light

Welcome!

Can only speak for germany: nobody know about it. Even most of the elders don't know. I try to spread it, but it's hard.

Some don't belive it, some say maybe it happened but most of them lie, trust in god and so on. Last reaction from an elder: where you catch the information? How did it affect your belive in the truth?

Crazy, isn't it?
