Ok - great debate - Lets keep the fight clean and as logical as possible - Analysing instead of Anal-lysing one another here - and maybe some converts could be made either way !

For fuck sake - people have viewpoints and opinions - which are all subject to review and change anyway!

There was a time when most of us here were dumb-fucks stricken by the WT Kool-Aid ourselves - so chill !

millie2105 hours agohere is something i just found out this week.former belief - field service is a publishers inalienable right new belief - field service privilege can be taken away if person styles hair or wears clothing in a way that is deemed metrosexual.i was pretty much dumbfounded.. this was posted on another thread, so i decided to start a new topic about this.

i think this is amazing!

i wish this was in place when i was a kid.

No one can stop your from preaching anything - Even a DFed person can preach albeit not with the JW in their regular arrangements.

Were you to preach [in the name of the JW movement] and submitted a FS report - that report would not be accepted by bro Secretary though - you may be told to keep the report for your own record.

Why would anyone want to continue slaving for the tower ? And what would your pitch be anyway ?

Baptized niece crowned prom queen. Could her dad loose his MS appt?

by StarTrekAngel in

so my niece (not thru my brother but rather my wife) had been talking about going to her prom.

the family had privately been somewhat doubtful that she would be allowed to go.

the problem was that they kept promising she would be allowed but history has shown us that her parents tend to get her excited about things and then drop the denial on her at the last minute.

I permitted my daughter to attend her end of high school dance etc .(2008)

7 months later we were both selected to partake in a drama and I also had a DC [RC] part on the same DC- some arse-hole complained that I had done this - re the dance [he actually wanted his daughter to have the part on this Drama ] and I received a phone call one night from the CO - 2 weeks before the DC telling me that both my daughter and I had been summarily removed from the drama and that my 15 min assignment on the DC would be handled by A.N. Other - My elder body knew that I had permitted her to attend the Prom and had not seen any issue in the matter ........???

My daughter subsequently removed herself from the Borg and interestingly another sister who was her counterpart in this Drama, DA-ed about 4 months later !

I still have a punch in the teeth lined up for the arse-hole in question - It will happen one day !!!

Critical Thinking-is that phrase a stigma?

by PaintedToeNail in

jw
friends

when i first heard the term 'critical thinking' it was as a teenager during a watchtower study.

the study went on to elaborate how we shouldn't be swayed by critical thinking.

there was no explanation that the term didn't mean 'to criticize' thoughts and words, but rather that it means 'to objective think and to evaluate thoughts and words'.

ZAPPA-ESQUE

Just to confirm from my 50 years of JW-ism - Critical Thinking in JW-dom = Independent Thinking = rejecting the Organisation . That is what I was told and taught !

i hope this helps: http://ask.un.org/faq/14501.

Well I have just passed this on to some "prominent" "eminent" ones in the Borg - so lets see if it provokes some sort of response ! I sent it with my true identity -

Previously I had the official letter dismissed as an Apostate document fraudulently conjured up by some mentally diseased one -

NELSON MANDELA and Winnie Mandela attended the funeral of Mandela's first wife Evelyn who was a JW - He was accorded no special prominence or even a reserved seat etc No fanfare and no press - But then again maybe the Mandela Foundation had not contributed to the Glorious Ones !

And dear Sister Evelyn received a standard J-Dub funeral talk [ Not that she would have sought 1 iota of prominence - I had met her. Special person ! ]
