"9) Watchtower does not have, and has never had, any authority over me."

This is a blatant lie!

Or is it? It reminds me of my ex-wife who got caught in an affair. When asked if she was making love with the guy she said "NO". (It was just sex at that point) Later when asked again if she was having sex with the guy she said "NO". (It was "love" by then) She only reluctantly admitted to the affair when presented with proof in a court of law, and was asked if she had ever engaged in, was engaging in, or intended to engage in, sexual intercourse, oral sex, making love and a few other ways of phrasing my lawyer asked.

Losch is not lying. In his mind, even though he knows it to be deceitful, he answers to God not Watchtower.

This same type of reasoning can and should be used by anyone pulled into a JW court, JC. Pause, think of the question, then answer it in a way that is not provably lying, but completely denies the accusation. Good for the goose...good for the gander y'know!

So if "parents are to blame for children leaving the truth", then STEP DOWN GB!

by stuckinarut2 in

if to mo's comments in the talk re "parents are to blame for children not being in the truth etc", (and yes, as many have already very nicely pointed out that this must therefore imply that "jehovah is to blame for satan and the angels rebelling"), doesn't this mean then that members of the gb need to step down?.

haven't some of the gb got family that are not "in the truth"?.

hypocrites yet again!.

@ Tech49

I also heard the condamnation spewing from AM III's pie-hole! GC is WRONG! It was not a simple experience, but as you and I both know a not very subtle way to condamn and put down any male not "serving". I ran that treadmill for over thiry years, "reaching out" and jumping through the hoops only to see eldurrs sons, eldurrs studies, etc. fast tracked to MS and eldurr. I finally told them "take this job and shove it!"

Qouted from another thread:

If parents are at fault for their kids leaving the organization, then, following Tony's argument to its logical conclusion, Jehovah is a failure as a father

I remember making that point a number of years ago when an pious, pompous, holier-than-thou eldurr (C.W. in C*********d, AZ) cliamed that the Bibl;e proved parents were to blame for their kids leaving the org. He used Prov. 22: 6. I asked if he REALLY meant it when he said parents were to blame for kids leaving. He said, That's what the Bible says!" So I asked him to explain Adam, Eve, Satan, and Judas Iscariot.

Tight pants...evil! Don't jog in spanx (WTF) maybe spandex? Socks! Brothers wearing socks that I don't like!

My lord is that guy THAT insane that he has to yammer on for over half an hour bitching about socks, and jogging attire? And throwing in every now and then that it isn't him we need to worry about but Jehovah? I am sure God has more important things to worry about than the friggin socks I wear. Like maybe smiting a few babies?

Personally I took "offense" at his purple pocket square. And who heard of polka dot ties with striped shirts?

Interview with a UBM

by jgnat in

i've been meaning to build this survey for some time.

built on simon's great survey template for "apostates", this survey is especially for "unbelieving mates" or simply those who may be dating or falling in love with their jehovah's witness (jw).. if you are interested in my story, the link below will have to do for now:.

"your JW" sounds like they are some sort of pet or captive. Please replace JW with the name of any other group and see how you think it sounds.

The reference should be to "your spouse" or "your partner"

I could not agree more.

AWESOME!

The most over-used, yet mis-used word that I can think of.

There are damned few things in this life that are truly awesome

Meeting for not paying assembly fees???!!!!

by Kool Jo in

jw
friends

hey folks......has anyone else heard of, or experienced this before?.

i visited by parents over the weekend and accompanied them to their assembly....same rubbish spoken about since ive been born....obey the gb, donate your last penny, no education and be a pushover.. anyways, our assembly hall has lush vegetation and scenery, so i was more focused on that....i started dozing off after lunch, so got up and went walking, saw some older folks from the congregation i grew up with.. upon the conclusion of the assembly, wed normally leave out right after the prayer ends so as to avoid the traffic.

however, for this assembly he told me that hes gonna be a few minutes with the elders and branch representatives...so a few minutes turned into an hour..

Martin Roll the CEO of Venture Capital wrote this in 2004 about corporate branding (think jw.org), "Today, there is a general requirement for high level of investments to maintain efficient production capabilities and scale in many industries..."

As the WTB&T$ is nothing more than a publishing corporation/industry I would believe that a very large percentage of the money being confiscated in the name of "voluntary" donations is being funneled into the corporate re-branding of the WT. Mr. Roll also wrote a very informative article titled Part II: Ten Steps for Successful Corporate Branding. WTB&T$$ is following it pretty much to a "T".
