Anti-religion T-Shirt idea

by Simon in

jw
friends

i want a t-shirt.

something that says "religion is crap, i don't care which one".. i was thinking of adapting the "coexist" one to say "toxic" instead which is great because it removes 'science' but includes all the major world religions.. anyone else have any ideas?.

also a tag-line ... "whatever god you worship, he's a weirdigan".

my story in a nutshell... .

scientist for a father; extremely mentally ill, 'annointed' mother.

was privy to and also suffered a lot of abuse.

jwundubbed - Welcome

The road to recovery will just have its own length of time - unique to each of us apparently. Just enjoy the new "ride" - I went into Huge depression in 2010 which took 30 agonising months to recover from and even now I have the craziest dreams which always involve some issue of entrapment within the cult - Very weird but evidence of what has taken place inside our heads - for me its a recovery after 50 years in the cult -

Just called into the Kingdom Hall, Speaker said he couldn't tell if anyone was listening to his talk... Well I was and what a joke

just called into the kingdom hall, speaker said he couldn't tell if anyone was listening to his talk now that everyone uses electronic devices and nobody laughed... well i did!.

he also mentioned when everyone used the bible he could hear the pages flipping and he knew they were following along.

this was really funny to me.

Hello all, RC video convention times and duration

by goingthruthemotions in

so i have no choice but to go to the cool-aid fest rc.

my question is this....do any of you know on what days the videos will show, for how long and which ones?.

my plan is leave my seat with my son's when the bunker video comes on and more videos that are stronger with the.

ZAPPA-ESQUE

Removing children from viewing the Bunker Shit should be mandatory for all Parents !

I am going to try to have a Psychologist friend review those DVD's [without prejudicing her with any preamble] - bearing in mind that I know many my age [60] who were traumatized by those Paradise Lost - Paradise Found simplistic illustrations of earthquakes and terror from the skys - in monochrome !

Missionary in Asia works part time as teacher told by Bethel hand over pay check!!

by Witness 007 in

they only way this minsterial school grad missionary could get a visa was as an "english teacher" so he got a job part time and pioneered the rest of the time.

he was very upset when bethel told him his wage for english teaching belongs to them!!!

he had expenses living in this asian land and had no family support, but bethel thought his small watchtower "reinburstment" was enough.

ZAPPA-ESQUE

Well there are "missionaries" from South Africa Bethel who are working in China under the guise of being English Teachers !

Oh................I forgot - its part of Theocraptrick Warfare to be deceptive .....

"Shunning" - now a Watchtower word?

by slimboyfat in

i know jws have long used the word "shun" in a general sense, as in "shun what is bad".

but i think they have long avoided using the word in relation to disfellowshipping.

in external media or literature wherever the word "shunning" was used in a piece about jws it was usually a good indication it was critical of watchtower and not a neutral or supportive commentary.

ZAPPA-ESQUE

Its an official word in JW world I suppose:

shun / shunned / shunning /

shunner / shunnee / shunnable

Hardline or more mainstream.... I think we now have the answer!

by Tornintwo in

this latest convention with the shunning and bunker videos shows the organisation getting more and more extreme and more cultish.. i think for the last few years they have wavered between the softer more mainstream, loving version of christianity (last year's jesus convention for example) and a harder line, there were even posters on here optimistically suggesting they might relax the shunning rules.

whoever it is on the gb who has the harder stance has clearly won out (my guesses lett and morris!).

i am sure i am not the only one breathing a sigh of relief, "phew, we got out in time".

ZAPPA-ESQUE

I think you make a good point - Certainly the FEAR Factor is upped to Red Status at the latest RC's - "lets have a blow-out" .....keep the #2 Cat. shjitting themselves and allowing for natural attrition of the Critical 'Independent' Thinkers #3.......- hold onto the remaining flock and bleed them to death !
