i rolled my eyes, this man is annoying...anyway he asked if i was going to be around wednesday.

i told him i should be.

That "shepherds" initials wouldn't be J. S. would they?

It sounds like the mouthy, know-it-all jack-wad that did "shepherding" calls on me a few years ago. Come around with the, "We have to get through the list," BS and then when they showed up it was a twenty minute reading of some WT article photo copy, and then , "well we gotta run. We have three more visits to make yet." It was just a way to make the CO think they cared and were doing their job. Are the CO's really THAT stupid?

Oh well, he has the reputation of flying into some cong. shitting all over the R&F and then on to the next cong. Never stays anywhere very long.

Dear watchtower bible and tract society, governing body, and all of your twisted teachings...

by OneDayillBeFree in

after today's watchtower study which was basically a mind controlling article about shunning your loved disfellowshipped ones, i've come to see just how sick, twisted, vile, rotten, repulsive, disgusting, and just plain evil you all are.

so i stormed out.

i don't know if i'll ever come back to your meetings again.

“Each year, many wrongdoers repent and come back to Jehovah’s organization.Jehovah does not begrudge their repentance.On the contrary, he is ‘ready to forgive.’ ”We all know that is a lie.

Well maybe Jehovah is ready to forgive sinners, but where the fallacy enters is that the MEN who rule will most likely NEVER entirely forgive anyone for not knuckling under to their every whim. As one "elder" I know said, "No matter how spiritual one may be they will never be allowed to do more than scrub the KH toilets and go in FS."

Assembly Talks... Are these assigned based on the thickness of the envelope?

by Calebs Airplane in

from talking to several fading jws over the years, it really does appear that assembly talk assignments are usually given to those pos who consistently hand over the thickest envelopes to the co at the end of his week-long visits.

if the envelope was too thin (or there was no enevelope at all), chances are that no one in that congo would get an assemby talk assighnment.

also, if the co and his wife were treated well or taken to expensive restaurants during their visit, that apparently increased the po's chances of getting an assembly talk assignment.

It's all politics. And we all know what is involved in politics.

My dear father said once, "If anyone, including "elders" say that politics doesn't play a large part in the congregation in who gets what "privileges" they are either very naive, or liars!"

Is Bethel Full Of Governing Body Ass Kissers?

by frankiespeakin in

when we see the massive layoff of bethel one could naturally ask which ones survived this brutal treatment by the governing body?

i'm sure ass kissers got a more favorable vote by the governing body to stay than the run of the mill hard valuable worker.. while all in the legal team got to stay as they are not required to kiss the governing body's ass(as much) but save it from lawsuits they are faced with.. what say you?

this a partial part of my opinion.. i wonder how much ass kissing, or ego stroking actually goes on once one becomes a member of the gb, i'm sure the ones the governing body keeps closest to them are their best ass kissers it goes along with the narcissistic personality disorder's territory in which he chooses to rome..

DIDN"T ...not did.

It ain't just bethel. I remember a certain CO whose last name rhymes with Seltzer who did give a hoot in hell about anyone unless you were a golfer an "elder" or a pious near.

And the rank and file still couldn't pucker up fast enough whenever he came to town.

Porneia in marriage - a changing view:

by Splash in

1974 - can divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.

1978 - can still divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.

1983 - cannot divorce your marriage mate if they insist on oral / anal intercourse.

piztjw

Yep...Gotta change things up every so often otherwise you can't keep control.

One of the worst things that happened to me was the it's okay...no it's not...well it's a little okay, but only if your wife says so...no it's not okay anymore bulls*&t! So needless to say when I told them to take an airborne, intercourse, at a perforated motivated pastry I was the one on the outside.

Later I still hadn't learned my lesson, yeah I know I'm hard headed, so I dated and then proposed marriage to who I thought was a pretty nice woman. The sheep shearers told her she was free to marry (as if it's any of their business). Then she wasn't free after her ex said he still loved her. He was the one who slept around and walked out on her. Then the CO said she was in fact free. We got married in spite of all the stress that infernal flip-flopping created. Then the local heavies reversed the CO decision and DF'd us both for "fornication" because we married without their express "approval".

Gawd almighty I hate that kind of small man BS!

DUI Defendant Tries to Place Awake With My Prosecutor Daughter

by Justitia Themis in

jw
friends

yep.

you read the title correctly.. my daughter is a prosecutor who right this moment is prosecuting a dui crash with major injuries.

the defendant--the drunk driver--just tried to place an awake magazine with her while both of them were in the courtroom.. .

piztjw

Sounds like one of the MS in the congregation I am "in.

Drunk driving, accident, and what's he get? A pat on the back and held up as an example. Of course it helps when he makes thousand dollar bribes contributions to the KH and elders.

Holy Spirit or Men's Bias

by piztjw in

i know this has been covered in the past however i wish to bring it up again.. i was told that if hs wants a man appointed as a ms or "elder" there is nothing that any human can do to prevent it from happening.

so my question is to anyone who asks why i am rapidly fading... what is the reason to "reach out'?

if it is true that hs does the appointing then wth difference does it make what appears to the eyes of the partial judges who decide if one gets to be an even bigger suck up?

piztjw

Well I got the third degree as to why I was just "warming a seat". "Elder" A said the reason I am blacklisted is because the Bible says men in good standing must be a husband of one wife. So sorry, but I cannot change the fact that I was married more than once! "Elder" B says well actually one has to be irreprehensible, and fifteen years ago you married a non jw and then were later divorced. That makes you reprehensible, even though you are now married to a jw. I asked why then MS #1 could be an open drunkard, a serial adulterer, a tax evader, and embezzle from his business, and that was okay. And why could MS #2 have a filthy home, and children who hit and kicked their mother and were disobedient, and a wife who belittled her husband as an idiot. "Elder" B replies that there are levels of "sin", and "some brothers who may be the most spiritual brother in the congregation are NEVER going to be allowed to do anything other than scrub toilets and go in FS!" Don't you just feel the "love"?

I'm turning myself in. Lurking elders, are you listening?

by Eve Deceived in

i think it's fitting for my very first post to be a thread on jw.net turning myself in to any lurking elders out there on a witch-hunt to cleanse the congregation so that god's choosen ones can "remain in god's love.

" so i'm sorry to all you awesome, truthful apostates on this site, but this thread is really intended for any lurking nazis -- i mean, the taliban -- ugh, i mean elders of the world's most "loving" cult religion.. i am an apostate.

here, i'll save you the trouble:.

Eve...I hope if any of them come after you that you somehow nail them for even being here in the first place.

Luck to you!
