If you had a JC and spilled your "Personal Beans" did you really think it stayed confidential?

we all "know" jc's are suppose to be private....so that the uniniated, innocent, can speak freely.

i say, uninitiated, because once you spill your guts and the elders use your embarassing, heart wrenching story as a lead off at their next get together/party, for a laugh, you have been initiated into your local brothers hall of fame.. so, are those jc's, really private?.

can you really talk privately, about your love of violent video games, masterbation, oral sex, shop lifting, doing drugs, or "doing" anything or anybody, and expect total confidentiality in the watch tower society elder world?.

Not only no...but HELL NO!

"They're only human!" (the most common defence of the Governing Body)

Seeming mistakes? Something is either a mistake, or it isn't. A "seeming" mistake would be like a woman being a little bit pregnant. It isn't possible.

And what about apostate propaganda? Would that be teaching something that is completely opposite what is taught as "truth"? Like say teaching that only a handful of humans are the FDS while ignoring any who a bare short year ago would have been DF'd for teaching that very thing?

Announcement: Schools for Couples and Single Brothers replaced by School for 'everyone'

by dropoffyourkeylee in

i know this was noted earlier:.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/266186/3/the-big-announcement-this-week#.uoaoe_yo5dg.

but it was officially announced today that the school for couples and the school for single brothers were being combined with the new twist that single sisters would be allowed also.

But single sisters (over 25 yrs old) outnumber, single brothers. what? 8 to 1, I would guess?

That's likely because any jw female over the age of majority, at least in my observation, who is single, is single for a damned good reason.

They're either physical cripples, mental cripples, have major family issues (who in their right mind wants to marry three generations of users?). And even IF one should marry there is a very good chance you will never know the person until it is too late. Then what? Marriage is not really promoted by the jw religion IMO.

As long as they allow the single sisters and single brothers to attend the same class sessions.

I'm betting that will never happen. Why even in the past the field serve us car gropes, er groups , had to be segregated. Even husbands and wives were expected to split up so that there would be no "pairing up".

WT's 2 BOE Letters Flip-Flop!

by JW GoneBad in

everyone knows about the recent across-the-board okay to use electronic devices in jw worship.

few, though, know about how not long ago it was considered a taboo.. first, there was that dc talk a couple of years back where they nearly demonized simply the ownership of a smart phone, ipads (i phones, blackberries, etc) let alone the use of them at meetings.

they brought out that they were a waste of time, expensive and that they exposed a christian to satan's world on the internet.

I thought it was pretty comical the other morning. I sat behind the guy who gave the morning sermon and watched while his pious sneer wife juggled two tablets. She was reading emails on one, and looking at vacation pictures on the other.

When she finished that she promptly fell asleep.

Too funny!

So I had what I thought was an interesting conversation this morning.

Elder: "Mother" sure is loving, and knows exactly how to care for us.

Me: "Mother"? Who are you referring to?

Elder: Well the organization of course.

Me: The organization? All over 7,000,000 of them? Or...

Elder: No. The Governing Body!

Me: Oh, I see. Well who is our father?

Elder: Jehovah! You know that!

Me: So the Governing Body is the Bride of Jehovah?

Elder: No, they are the Bride of Christ!

Me: So then Christ is our Father?

Elder: No! Jehovah is out Father, and...wait you've confused me!

Me: Well I guess you have some research to do. Let me know when you find out how the Governing Body can be our "mother", Jehovah is our Father, and His son Jesus is the bridegroom to the Governing Body, his fathers wife.

"NEW LIGHT" FOR 2014? WHAT'S YOUR PREDICTION FOR 2014'S NEW AND IMPROVED LIGHT?

by SanLuisObispoTruthSeeker in

hi, i am reading a book on mind control and one of the areas the author stresses group control is their constant revision of "new insight from god" or "we have a new message from god".

in keeping with the spirit of new light, 2014 is going to need a moral boost because one hundred years of lies needs a spin doctor of bethel size.

the poster with the close new light for 2014 will be showered with glory and much pomp.
