@jw07 - Yeah, I liked how he always chose the apple as it was the closest to real food but even that was grown in a Petri dish - The day's text would have been the vendor!

When Did Higher Education Become Taboo?
by Wild_Thing ini have been reading about the early history of russelites/jws and in the beginning, it seems the organization was formed and headed by quite a few educated people.
lawyers, doctors, businessman.
you could buy voting rights within the organization for $1000, which by today's standard would be somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000, something most of us do not have on hand, unless you are highly educated and/or wealthy.

Education has been replaced by showmanship!

This is Just getting Ridiculous and out of hand with the Borg
by MrsR-Awaken insaw this on reddit it was posted by user morgan_sparlock .
to me honestly this would of been prohibited 10 years ago, but now every dub is obsessed with this website, it's everywhere even a damn iphone cover... ooh they don't approve of idolatry ooh no they don't accept cross veneration thats bullshit to me!!!
its getting to a point that they are venerating this website (company logo) it's their version of the cross.

Great thread! Great clip because it has all the right terminology too!!! Amazing!!!
This is what popped straight into my mind. It hasn't got the right terminology but the whole clip can be adapted and here's how I see a it;
The boy is an awoken JDUB (and is exactly how I feel, makes me tear-up). The young male panel member is an elder (always complying with being over-ridden), the female panel member is if a (asleep) sister was allowed to sit as an elder, the older male panel member is a GB member (offering an assignment at the end), the audience are the witnesses, the guy in his room is an exJdub who's still indoctrinated and the crying girl in the room is an exjdub who knows TTATT! Actually the whole movie is worth a watch, the bikes are the ministry, the high point collectors are pioneers, the foul rude guys are fence sitters, the whole environment is like Bethel. See what you think...

If you're referring to FGM it's horrendous too isn't it, more so. So many screwed up distortions of religions! These people really are sick in the head. It's not just Islam either, Christians, Jews etc. all do it. Disgusting! So controlling.

''$1 billion dollars in sales, and local Elders have to resort to shaking down the elderly for money to pay measly monthly bills. Wow, just wow!!''
This would make amazing footage for spoof jworg tv!!!
Credits would read: ''All characters in this video clip were actors but the stories were REAL!!!'' That needs to be done!!!

A great suggestion from a current Bethelite on the chopping block
by Gilbeath Haaraloth ina very close friend of mine has gotten his letter.
although he was planning to leave willingly, he told me that he can't help but feel a sense of being stabbed in the back by a bunch of self righteous traitors.
he gave tours for years, always telling the visitors "this is the best way of life, i would never change anything here and i'll never regret making this decision to come here.

@macys - ''If you want to join then PM him here first and he will send you his private email.'' errr, why can't he use PM on here to send the message???? Am I missing something here??? So he's collecting email addresses then???? For an anti-circumcision campaign list??? Have I got the wrong end of the stick? (pun intended!)
