  Correlation

  by out4good3 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does anyone here think there is any correlation between the abrupt departure from wt and awake subscription services and the march and april shepherding calls to the possibly millions that have gone inactive in the past few years?

  the few years i spend as a dub, i don't remember any such activity directed solely inactives.

  does anyone else see this as a vain attempt at the wtbts to get people back into khs for their usual dosages of guilt tripping and admonitions of loyalty to the organization?

  Don't want to stumble anyone!

  did you have narrow minded turds as elders/overseers in your congregation?

  yup so did i...they're everwhere.. "there was this one time..at band camp"....it was in a hired hall actually...where we used to organise congregation functions like farewells etc.

  this usually consisted of food...non alcoholic beverages...and some entertainment...usually square dancing and some skits...and a presentation or speech.. at one function a particular elder was offended that the 'gay gordon' was one of the dances for the evening...so he promptly left...yup...at the next function it was renamed the 'happy gordon'...as his conscience wouldn't allow him to attend otherwise.

  On WTS Ethics & the Golden Rule

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on shunning: do unto others and force everyone else to do unto others.

  on blood transfusions: dont do unto others and too bad if they die.. on abuse of spiritual authority: screw unto others and say jehovah told you to screw unto others.. on revisionism of wts history: do unto others and then deny you ever did it unto others.. on false prophecy: do unto others and blame it on the others you did it unto.. on pedophilia: when things are done unto others, demand those others to keep their mouths shut.

  and everyone else, too.. on raising children: beat unto others.. on literature sales: charge unto others and make those others also charge unto others.

  Part 12: October Surprise II - The Sequel!

  by Amazing in

  part 12: october surprise ii the sequel!

  october 1 a new day: looking back on the first parts to this series, one who is an ex-jw can perhaps appreciate these events as no other person.

  what may be a little different is how an exit can, for some, such as in my own situation, drag on and on with new difficulties, bizarre twists, and unexpected players on the field.
