  Education video this midweeks meeting

  by jehovaxx in

  there is an item this week all about yang ones leaving school.. the two brothers go to a career advisor seminar.

  one brother thinks it’s good to work hard full time while you are young and tries to encourage his friend to as well.. his friend (who is the good jw trust the gb no matter what they say)) he wants a part time job.. the video shows him dreaming about investing his money on his phone and the chart goes up, he drives a nice car and seems to be doing well financially.. then he reads the scripture in proverbs and next you see that investment chart go down in the red and he is so pleased he just got a low paid part time job.. this infuriates me.

  how many of us are now struggling because we were told to get menial part time jobs and we were told the end would have been here by now.. i will never tell a young person to listen to the gb advice on this.

  Any way we can create a website to expose UK JW sex offenders in one place?

  by ukpimo in

  1. watchtower
  2. child-abuse

  you read my title correctly.. i was wondering if some of us could get together to create a website linking each town and city in the uk to every news report of a jw sex offender, as well as additional anecdotes from abuse victims of criminals who never made it to the papers.. this project would be a massive undertaking and would require much time and effort, of which i'm willing to either lead or be a part of, ensuring transparency and avoiding our exposure if we are pimo.

  such a website would be an invaluable tool and would complement silentlambs very well.

  any thoughts?.

  there was on older white-haired circuit overseer in houston around 1989 or 1990. last name started with a w i think.... not sure though.

  even the most brain-dead robotic elders told me he was offensive.

  We had an arrogant circuit overseer in the late 90s (forgot his name) who loudly scolded the 9 year old son of a ministerial servant just for sitting on the hood of his car for a few seconds during field service. The poor kid started crying while the CO angrily wiped down the hood where the kid sat. I thought 'what a major materialistic douche bag'.

  Where is Tony?

  by Athanasius in

  2. friends

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  Know it’s not true but stay anyway

  by Elena in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  how many of the millions of jws know it’s not true but stay anyway?.

  my guess is most jws know it’s not true on a subconscious level to an extent but they don’t want to think about it too much and would never ever voice it out loud.. but this is probably true with all religions around the world?.

  Having any doubts or engaging in any form of critical analysis (versus simply accepting the delusional teachings of 9 narcissistic dudes in Warwick) is equal to "straying from Jerhover". This is drilled so hard into the heads of the rank-and-file, that they instinctively start to drown out the "Voice of Strangers" whenever "these ones" start talking.

  WT Flip-Flops on Jesus’ Inspection… Was it in 1918 or 1919?... Did the WT PASS or FAIL?

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is utterly ridiculous.... .

  the more i research this particular subject, the more flip-flops i uncover.

  it seems the fds cant even make up their minds regarding what happened in 1918 (or should i say 1919?).

  Constant Pleas For Money

  by NotFormer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  it comes up from time to time: that the wt's "constant pleas for money" signifies their precarious financial state due to the pressure of the csa settlements.

  is there any way of demonstrating that to be a fact?

  i ask because i've always been under the impression that "constant pleas for money" is the default state of the organisation, possibly going back to rutherford's time.

  I remember counting money at a district convention in the 1990s. I was one of the assistants to the convention accountant. We were literally on our knees on the floor (where we emptied the bags) because the table was not large enough to organize all the huge piles of cash. Before we could even have the slightest idea of how much cash we had, the usual "Deficit" announcement could be heard in the accounting office while we all looked at each other in utter disbelief. I should have woken up then but I was too young and stupid.
