The Beast-Tower #11: God's View of Trolling

by sd-7 in

jw
friends

"did god really say that you must not eat from every tree of the garden?

" with those words, satan the devil became the first troll.

(gen. 3:1) what is trolling?

this weeks km is telling elders to arrange for group studies with people in local nursing homes, with instructions on how to word things when speaking to the directors etc.. they are clearly trying to get to people who may not be entirely able to think for themselves or who may lack critical thinking and yet may have money to leave to them.. what can you do?.

well, if you wanted to, write a short and simple letter or email to your local care home, perhaps directly even speak to the director yourself... warn them about the brainwashing and danger of breaking up of families etc.

the km says they should identify themselves as jw's... .

As usual they are following the money trail. Would anyone here care to write up a letter template so more on the boards could post letters to the local facilities? That would be a real help as many might like to help but don't always have the words to put on paper.

Just a thought, now off to work. Happy Friday everyone.

since the creation of a few youtube channels i spend enormous amounts of time watching them.

they have basically replaced my activity on jwn and watching kelly and michael in the morning.

there are quite a few issues and implications that result from this trend.

hi, my apostate friends.. a couple of weeks ago i asked for some advice regarding studying methods.

then some of you asked me to let you know my score after i take the exam at mineralogy.. i scored 90%.

i'm pretty happy with it because the exams i take are not in my native language.. if i keep up with the good scores i might get a scholarship and then bye bye watchtower society.

cultBgone

Congratulations and hugs to you, well done! We look forward to hearing more of your success story as you achieve your goals.

A Mormon becomes a JW in the Feb 2013 Watchtower...

by cedars in

glancing through the feb 2013 "public" watchtower edition, an interesting article appears on page 8.. here is the pdf download link.... http://www.jw.org/download/?fileformat=pdf&issue=20130201&output=html&pub=wp&langwritten=e&option=trgchlzrqvnyvrxf&txtcmslang=e.

it's interesting how, in the story, the young man's jw aunt and uncle switch him from mormonism to the jw faith using third-party material (the nov 8, 1995 awake!

article), and he ends up becoming a jw after confirming on the official mormon website that the claims in the awake!

cultBgone

I think the point Cedars made was that:

1. The article showed that the Mormon gentleman was persuaded by "worldly" sources that the jw teachings were correct.

2. As we all well know, jws are NOT allowed to read anything "worldly".

3. Therefore, the logic behind the article (whether it was true or not) was totally fallible.

It cannot be right for someone of another faith to use "worldly" sources to "come into the truth" but wrong for someone of the jw faith to NOT be able to use "worldly" sources to read about the jws.

UNDERSTANDING money and the history of the Watch Tower

by Terry in

today the watch tower corp. is changing a long-standing policy in regard to donations which had been in place a long, long time.. to understand the original policies (about money) and the changed (new policy) we have to take a peek into the past.. .

i don't want to bog you down in history.

you can research on your own using google.. here are salient facts.. _________________________________________________.

Thanks, Terry. Nice historical data to share.

I am on the edge of a freak out ..... I think???

so the rc really sucked, but i made it through.

the propaganda was mind blowing.

i don't know if the crap will be available on the official website or not, but hopefully it gets leaked somehow.

DD, you've received some great advice here. Let me add to it: give yourself a break. YOU are not accountable for your wife's happiness, that's her problem. YOU are only accountable for You, and for your daughter getting out of the cult. You may do better withdrawing (call it depression or whatever) to allow yourself some down time. You need to sleep! And you're going to need to decide upon your exit strategy. Obviously you cannot keep up appearances for much longer and it's probably causing your wife to respond to your negative feelings. Perhaps if you were at home and more peaceful, she would respond in kind. In any event, you can't save your daughter without putting on YOUR oxygen mask first.
