  "It's a cult, mom."

  by schnell in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  my mom has been extensively texting me, trying to argue that the un ngo scandal is not a big deal and that the child abuse scandal is to instigate the great tribulation.

  even worse, she kept saying how great it is that the gb is imperfect and fallible and that teaching changes all the time.

  maybe it was aggravation or impatience, but i finally just snapped and told her, "it's a cult, mom.".

  Do You Think Trump And His Whole Team Of Advisers Should Drop Acid?

  i mean back in the 60's when lsd was legal they did experiments with the drug to find out it's problem solving ability and the results were amazing.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/psychedelics_in_problem-solving_experiment.

  psychedelic agents in creative problem-solving experiment was a study designed to evaluate whether the use of a psychedelic substance with supportive setting can lead to improvement of performance in solving professional problems.

  the altered performance was measured by subjective reports, questionnaires, the obtained solutions for the professional problems and psychometric data using the purdue creativity, the miller object visualization, and the witkins embedded figures tests.

  “None of us are going to deny what other people are doing. If saying bullshit is somebody's thing, then he says bullshit. If somebody is an ass-kicker, then that's what he's going to do on this trip, kick asses. He's going to do it right out front and nobody is going to have anything to get pissed off about. He can just say, 'I'm sorry I kicked you in the ass, but I'm not sorry I'm an ass-kicker. That's what I do, I kick people in the ass.' Everybody is going to be what they are, and whatever they are, there's not going to be anything to apologize about. What we are, we're going to wail with on this whole trip.”

  Millionaire JW Elder hypocrite?!

  so i know one should remove his own stick from his own eye before ones self judges another, but i noticed something.

  it seems that the wealthy witnesses are the elders, the circuit overseers, the governing body... are they really different from any other 'worldly' religions or even organizations?

  i mean look at the jewels the friggen pope wears.

  Truly "Rich" people - .................................

  http://kalahari-meerkats.com/fileadmin/files/guides/Bushmen_light.pdf

  

  Bushmen were hunter/gatherers, with traditionally about 70/80% of their diet consisting of plant food, including berries, nuts, roots and melons gathered primarily by the women. The remaining 20/30% was meat (mostly antelopes), hunted by the men using poisoned arrows and spears on hunts that could last several days. They made their own temporary homes from wood that they gathered.
  
  Their hunting & gathering economy and social structure had remained virtually unchanged for tens of thousands of years until very recently, a socio-economic culture that has sustained mankind universally during their evolution until the advent of agriculture. The Bushmen did not farm or keep livestock, having no concept of the ownership of land or animal.

He could of course join his local G and S Society ..............but ...............then again ......he would miss meetings and be slyly enticed away from the Troooof . NO ...No ....This is a trap ........he must flee from this....Satan is very busy with Jehovah's people these days !

  thank you, everybody here, for introducing me to this.

  no, no i had not heard of this.

  child abuse issues have been roundly dismissed as apostate attacks in the congregations i've attended in the last decade.

  As mentioned this was "soap-opera' compelling stuff - even got up in the early hours to "tune-in" [ I am in South Africa] and of course having a local boykie as the lead counsel [ Angus Stewart] performing in high-gear ...it was like the Springboks beating the All - Blacks in a rugger world cup ....................! {ok ...all AnZacs take the piss ! }

  I told them I was suffering ADD [ Acute Doctrinal Distress]

  Then later I told them to **** - off or I would enter the hall and go amok ! [ I am a Depressive in remission - maybe they are scared]

  Although totally shunned we are not DF'ed yet !

  But .........go the route of peacefulness - be Gandhian in your dealings - you will feel triumphant and mentally healthier. .

  RUSSIA: Many meetings raided and evidence planted

  by ZAPPA-ESQUE in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  raids on jehovah's witness premises now take place more than three times per month.

  these raids on doctrinally pacifist* religious communities often involve many heavily armed and camouflaged officials, with the "discovery" of apparently planted banned "extremist" literature.

  legal dissolution of communities can follow.. http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=2228.

  For sure the Ruskies are being dick-heads - as per usual - but this really does smack of a bit of Kharma !
  

  *Exception being the treatment of their own members eg Disfellowshipping etc/ shunning and related ...

  WT should not think it is exclusively they who are targets in Russia - Many if not most non-Orthodox groups have come under the Kosh-sack /
