took the magazines in the waiting room and dumped them in the trash.
was a great feeling.
to think many witnoids wont dare throw out the surplus magazines they have in stacks around the house is amazing.
There's a special kind of joy that blooms when trashing this ridiculous literature...wtg!
i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.
isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.
it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.
Like there aren't enough crappy marriages in the bOrg now...........
you know, rarely in the history of the org has a group this large congregated to hear from "mother.
" they incessantly speak of the huge group that met at yankee stadium in 1958...the over 250,000 that congregated to be instructed by jehovah.
but over the weekend, there were over 1,000,000 people excited to hear some type of direction, some type of encouragement, something to help them hang on "just a little longer.".
RO! more like ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best belly laugh I've had in ages... thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, here come the tears from laughing so hard.........and my ribs hurt...........hahahahahahahahahaha
back to august of 1988. my brother and i were the ones being marked.
at the time, my father had clued us in that it was coming and had gotten a recording of it.
are we not also obliged to act on wrongs being committed by a family member or members?
So sad that your dad was included in their mean-spirited talk.
So glad that you and your brother walked away.
when i am3 was going to speak i was ecstatic to hear this lunatic embarass himself.
after the propaganda indoctrination session, a relative asked me what my spiritual goals were, i told em i want to become a servant before i turn 23 so i could get laid.
lmfao.
It sounds like ALL of his comments would embarrass anyone with a brain and a conscience.
Tight pants, spandex, omg colored socks?? Must marry MS/Eldumb, must be MS by 23, must must must must....gag.
Thinking of ways to bring up these things with pio daughter...surely this is the best "open your eyes" opportunity presented in quite some time.
AM3 is nuts.
i celebrated halloween and my birthday and the elders have been told.
husband told the elders i've called the religion a cult.
they said i'm "heading down a road to be an apostate.
Best information here: NEVER meet with them or do anything else that "validates" their position of power in the bOrg. Remember....these are not really servants of God, they are just guys who happen to go to church with your hubby. Think about it. Don't play THEIR game -- make them play YOURS.
Can't possibly imagine what in h*ll your husband was thinking in ratting you out...what did he hope to gain? Sorry, but he's just plain weird for doing that. Sounds like he's more interested in getting sympathy from the eldumbs than in getting love and affection from his wife. Not sure how you feel about him but his actions say Idiot.
Protect your children at all costs and never, ever let them be involved in this eldumb craziness -- including this trumped-up drama nonsense about celebrating holidays. Play the lawyer card and play it fast, even if you don't have one. The threat should be enough to send them running away.
Congratulations on living life with your kids! Keep up the great parenting job.
this is the scuttlebutt in one of the "bethel congregations" by us.. no details as to exactly what this "faith-testing" announcement might be.. anyone else hear any of this pre-zone visit hype?.

TTATTelder, so happy for you that the mean-spirited hateful gb members have aided in awakening your dear wife! For the thousands of delirious ones whose weird worship of these old farts was strengthened, let's hope that thousands more kind-hearted, loving people felt the anger and vitrol and will be heading out the door for good.
i'm just bored.
i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.
i like posting while on active duty.
DHOH, add some spandex to your wardrobe...that oughta help.
i saw seven the other day - the girls on one side the men on the other.
a couple fo them were drinking their starbucks.. so for every hour, 7 of "preaching" can be counted.
truly jehoobie is expanding the work in this final part of the time of the end!!.
Punk, I heard a very timid little knock on my door last weekend, and when I looked out a window a bit later I saw two very sheepish girls (who may have been extras on the television show Little House on the Prairie) taking doors while a creepy-looking older man waited at the curb, then followed them down the street where he again waited while they (barely) knocked on doors. 3 in one little group, maybe now the young sisters need chaperones here in a sunny vacation town (have to watch out for those angry tourists chasing after dubbie girls, right?).
No apathy carts around, but then that's only the second time I've seen jdubs doing "regular" door-knocking in about six years.
