  I...I have no words

  i cannot wrap my mind around the fact that there is jw tv.

  being a born in and living most of my life hearing how tv evangelism is wrong and lazy preaching yet seeing this unfold solidifies this religion as a cult!.

  i remember back when i began my fade a few years ago i told my brother during an argument how this religion is just like any other religion in that its bull.

  Here's the deal. We can all scream about it and tell everyone how wrong it is, and how it's nothing like the religion we used to know...and that's true.

  However...they don't care about us, or the older ones, or the born-ins, or anyone who is already stuck in the bOrg.

  What they care about is continuing the revenue stream by bringing in new ones who know NOTHING about all the "old" stuff we know.

  These younger ones can be easily persuaded that this is cool because it's all on the internet! They will never experience the crap hours spent trudging door to door on a hot summer morning. They will never see the craziness from Russell or Rutherford or Knorr or Franz.

  All they will know is Hey, this is fun, this is cool, let's try this on for awhile....and they will be stuck.

  And the hamster wheel will continue to spin as more critters jump on for the ride.

  I totally agree with you, Magnum, and hope they follow the sage advice of Poopsiecakes. What a bunch of bizarro weirdness, yes?

  TV.JW.Org - WTF is Wrong With This Guy? - CAPTION THEM

  by passwordprotected in

  2. friends

  i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.

  and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .

  Sadly, my adult child thinks this is all too wonderful. Makes me soooooo sad.

  And so true to life...dad crying (sure)...mom crying (more likely)...both parents crying with the elders (no way).

  i recently learned ttatt and it really sickens me when i sit through the meetings.

  i feel like vomiting when annoying things are said from the platform.

  4) use your time to wake others up

  its hard and can be scarry at first, but learn to ask open ended questions designed to spark people and make them think. Pepper them in to comments During the meeting. Have something in mind thats being discussed on the meeting and frame an innocent question designed to give a subtle nudge. You maybe supprised at who will give a subtle nod of knowing or who will privatly admit they see where you going and agree with you. Keep it subtle, always leave yourself wiggle room, and have fun with a subservise attitude. it WILL help some, even if you dont see it right away.

  Best use of your time is #4. If you have a rough timeframe in mind of how long you'll be stuck in the bOrg, make it your goal to wake up at least one other person per year/6 months/3 months etc.

  And be sure to turn in your time spent at meetings helping others to know TTATT as "field service".
