  well it's been awhile since i got angry and wanted to post on here again.

  last week's watchtower about the subject of love had something to say about the hard working attendants.

  it seems that they are choosing to sit in the best seats at the convention.

  Does "Hanlon's Razor" apply to the Governing Body?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower

  i recently learned of the term "hanlon's razor".. wikipedia defines it as: .

  hanlon's razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways including "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

  " it recommends a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for a phenomenon (a philosophical razor).. so could it be said that this applies to the gb / society ?.

  When you consider the various lies that have come out of various GB members as well as helpers (not to mention the GB approved publications), coupled with the many tactics and techniques of propaganda, brainwashing and control, the answer becomes obvious.

  Stupidity does not adequately explain what's happening in the org.

  "Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by a$$holism"

  If we just suddenly start talking to DFed people again and use the Canada court video as our argument, what would happen?

  the jw lawyer clearly stated that disfellowshipping only applies to spiritual association, but everyday family contact is ok..

  If I tell you something but I am actually thinking every other word to myself, am I lying or just omitting some truth?

  Consider the following sentence

  #1 Jehovah's Witnesses always lie about everything. You can't believe everything they say, ever.

  Compare with what I REALLY was saying (bolded words are my own thought words, omitted from verbalization)

  #2 Jehovah's Witnesses don't always lie about everything. You can't always believe everything they say.

  Now, would I be a lying sack of spit if I were to contend that I didn't mean to mislead you, by telling you the first sentence, and saying that what I really meant was sentence #2?

  That guy is a lying sack of spit if he's really a JW and should be D/F'd for lying about "Gods Organization™"

  Omission of truth is no defense for lying.

  rebuilding JW homes & insurance question

  by MrRoboto in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  just wondering if anyone can confirm with their own experience, but especially with any kind of documents, as to whether the org really does take insurance money from disaster victims after the rbc / ldc repairs their homes?

  and what of non-jws that might get assistance from them?.

  this last wt study article for me thinking, what with all that unhypocritical love the org has going on..

  Difficulty fading out

  by Emily1987 in

  2. friends

  this is my first post on here so i apologize that it is like an essay!.

  my husband and i are currently 'fading out' of the truth.

  we stopped preaching in may 2016 and limited meeting attendance in january 2017 and stopped completely in june 2017. my main reason for this was my whole life i have been doing things to please others, even getting baptized to please my mum.

  It's sh!t like this that leaves me seriously considering D/Aing myself and just letting the chips fall where they may - Ill have a few upset people and potentially serious family problems but at some point the control of the Seven Kings on Kings Drive must end!

  Hi all,

  Just wondering if anyone can confirm with their own experience, but especially with any kind of documents, as to whether the org really does take insurance money from disaster victims after the RBC / LDC repairs their homes? And what of non-JWs that might get assistance from them?

  This last WT study article for me thinking, what with all that unhypocritical love the org has going on.

  Jehovahs Witnesses – Does the Sect’s name really mean for what it is ?

  by EverApostate in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the term jehovah’s witnesses sounded weird to me even when i was in that cult.

  why does god need witnesses to prove his existence?

  there is no need for anyone to create a movement called “suns witnesses” or “moons witnesses” – in order to prove its existence and glorify it, because the sun and moon are evident to every species on earth.

  As with the non-celebration of most holidays and birthdays and many other things, the name was meant to differentiate the group from others claiming to be Christian.

  Jehovah is not even a close approximation of the divine name

  The 'witnesses' in the source scripture were all Jews and are long since dead.

  Religion is a a snare and a racket

  JW.org Featured Artical: When Your Adolescent Questions Your Faith

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this is one of the featured articals on jw.borg at the moment.

  could it be because the young ones are googling their parents religion?, seeing the bullshit?, and calling their parents out on it?

  i hope so.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/wp20120201/adolescent-questions-faith/.

  So this way your kids can get "encouraged" a la Conti and then are absolutely stuck in the bORG, unable to speak of the things they endured for fear of DFing. Great retention policy there fellas.

  Kingdom Halls Are Hall Full

  by SplaneThisToMe in

  1. social
  2. humour

  there’s all this talk about combining congregations to enhance kingdom hall utilization.

  the branch offices keep calling the halls half full.

  are they half full or half empty?

  Being neither a pessimist nor optimist,I would say that the halls are simply twice as large as necessary.

  Extending this concept a little bit though, since we are not talking about a single cup but an entire group of halls, we can also say that there are twice as many KHs than is necessary.

  Incidentally, I've noticed this empty hall deal at my own kh (being pimo) as well. When it first started, I was all-in and thought that it was just some local anomaly due to bad attitudes and cronyism. Now a days, even the CO visit doesn't draw the crowd that it used to, the folks that would only show up for the CO - don't.
