a thesis: the discursive construction of freedom in the watchtower society.

be aware, this thesis, although supremely stimulating, thought-provoking, fascinating, attention-grabbing, remarkable, noteworthy, and appealing, the author made use of out of the ordinary, worthy of note, and fascinating words and statements that, for the reader of average intelligence (like me), make for laborious reading.

i am pimo, but now have 40+ years of being a jw as i was raised in a 3rd generation family of witnesses and continue to fake my way through things - fading as i can.. for the vast majority of my time as a jw, the meetings were the central focus for all jws to get teaching, association, information and so on.
nothing was more important than being at the meetings!
over the last 20 years starting with the elimination of the weekly book study in homes and continuing down to today - my opinion is that the value/purpose of the weekly meetings continues to be diluted or minimized.
Meetings are important to the GB as ever. Liabilities shut down home book studies/meetings for field service.
Meetings are losing their importance to the rank & file. The internet has put a chill on hearts and a blue sign on every KH. Seats are empty. Enthusiasm wanes. Socializing is no fun with fake people pretending they are happy. Paradise is lost forever around the corner that never comes.
Information has always been second hand at the meetings. Never an original thought. Every minute was/is based on the mad scribbling of the writing department months or years ago.
Kingdom Halls are no longer Jehovah’s house, they are real estate tokens to be traded when the time is right. All the little sheep know this. Looking around seeing all the POMOS & PIMIS and fakers, faders, freeloaders, no wonder they dread going to meeting.
as a young person who hasn't had lots of experience in the dating game, what would ex jws recommend with all these severed relationship ties from family.
what are the do's and dont's.
Hi youngaposthate,
My daughter who is 22 as well DMd you.
2020-04-10 letter--instructions.. safe work protocols.
those on the email list already have this letter in their email box.. .
those not on the list, reply below that you want us to drop a copy off in your pm box.. .
I am interested in this one as well as I still have a child stuck in.
so here it is on bitchute.. tear away.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/pyd8crtke8xy/.
I would like to hear what Dr. Fauci has to say about all the people dying now and eventually out of fear of going to the hospital for serious health issues because of Covid. What about suicides and mental breakdowns? Poverty, malnutrition, starvation. Every kid who is now unvaccinated for anything because parents freaked out and skipped them.
He can keep generating fear and collapsing the economy that will take a decade to repair but this Covid 19 is not the zombie apocalypse they want us to believe it is.
The cure and course of lockdowns and flattening the curve, waiting for testing and vaccines that are not needed or will never come is going to have far greater human life consequences than the damn disease death count.
We are in the twilight zone right now and for fuck sake I'm actually rooting for Trump to bring us out of it.
so here it is on bitchute.. tear away.. https://www.bitchute.com/video/pyd8crtke8xy/.
Fauci was quite prophetic in 2017. *sarcasm* We'll see how many doctors actually wake up and if it makes any difference.
i have been quiet of late, developing other interests, happy that there are a whole group of people producing great resources.
however, i found some old emails from ray franz that promoted me to write an article that answers a question i regularly receive.
it is in regards to the motive of governing body members.
As always, impeccable work Paul. Refreshing to hear you are pursuing other interests and remarkable that you still found the time and desire to put together and share such informative personal examination of the topic and the perspective of Raymond.
Every JW suffers the same delusions as described vividly of the GB. While the GB are in the highest positions, the organization is designed to make everyone feel there is another rung of the ladder to be achieved. No one is ever doing enough. Always move forward, improve, "reach out". Knowing full well no extra days of everlasting life will come from it.
The higher the position, the greater burden in the mind when doubts creep in. "The harder they fall" as it were.
The GB are painfully ordinary men playing the only game they know at the highest level in full recognition, or at the very least cognitive dissonance, that everything they believe in is in fact complete bullshit.
Do doubt each one of them quietly struggles with their own crisis of conscience.
i think it’s time for business to reopen and let’s get the economy going again!
.
what say you??
Our store shelves are still empty going on 6 weeks of every paper good, disinfectants, pasta, beans, rice, peanut butter and now meat. We can't find masks so we made them.
I'm going back to work on Monday and my aversion has nothing to do with apocalyptic shortages.
I've managed to find a muffin top, my boobs are obscene and my roots are horrific.
ever since i came out of the witnesses, i've become very political.. i've heard lots of arguments back and forth for many things.. in the u.s. there is the argument that it is "racist" to want to deny entry to muslims.
while there is freedom of religion, there is also the very valid concern of maintaining democracy and a justice system that is based on modern values.we as exjw's constantly quote the pew center for statistics on jw's such as: they are last place in the us for members of a religion that go to university, and second-last for poverty levels of members of a religion.
we accept those statistics and mention them as proof of how damaging the jw's are.now, let's use the same center for some very scary statistics on islam:http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/07/22/muslims-and-islam-key-findings-in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world/.
Someone is suffering from COVID 19 Derangement Syndrome.
i’ve been thinking about it for a few weeks and i’m sort of surprised that no one else has introduced this topic!.
what better time than now for a fader to fade?
no meetings, no field service, no elder visits, no assemblies, no convention, and no other bullshit busy work going on.
Hookers and booze.
