o m g...(yes that is a very childish reaction...but i couldn't think of a more appropriate expression!).

if you haven't yet read it...please do so..... it is so ridiculous!

so leading, so distorted, and full of "bait and switch" techniques.. "prove you have the truth"..by seeing how neutral witnesses were in war times?

From paragraph 13:

“Every effort is made to keep Jehovah’s organization morally clean and undefiled, regardless of who has to be counseled or disciplined.”

Oh, please! This is so demonstrably NOT TRUE!!!

Here is just the lastest in a long, long string of evidence how untrue the above quoted WT statement is:

Jehovah's Witnesses Ordered to Pay $13.5M to Bible Teacher's Alleged Victim

From paragraph 10:

Millions upon millions of tracts, brochures, and magazines have been distributed in campaigns through- out the world, without charge to the public. The expense has been covered by the voluntary donations of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who have followed Jesus’ in- struction: “You received free, give free.” —Matt. 10:8.

I am JW.ORG

by LogCon in

famous quote from wuthering heights revised.. '... i am jw.org!

it's always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than i am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.

so don't talk of our separation again: it is impracticable...'.

I personally knew a brother that, about 7 or 8 years ago, tried to set up a little side business selling WT trinkets: calendars, pens, notepads and other tchotchke junk with the WT logo on it.

The WTBTS Legal Department actually sent him a Cease and Desist Letter. He showed it to me. I read it. It was real.

Have they changed? Or, does the WTBTS somehow get royalties from all this crap?

I'd be curious to know.

No Island Man, that's a magazine. The correct answer is: The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses.

In paragraph 2: “By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35)

We don't go to war, but if you disagree with us we'll shun you and treat you as if you're dead. This is how we know that WE have "the truth." Isn't that a loving provision from Jehovah?

" ... mutual consent ... both marriage partners ... guilty ..."

I can't believe those words are actually in the same sentence. Only in the WT! (w74 11/15, p. 704)

Hey, if my wife wants to give me a blowjob, I'm gonna' let her!

Find What Your Social Status Was in the Congregation

by Mary in

jw
friends

ever notice how the "happiest people on earth" are also the most class-oriented?

the social structure in the congregation is more complex than the blueprints of a nuclear warhead, but just so that you "remember your place", see if you can find where your niche was/is:.

1. at the top of the social order of things within the congregation is of course, the presiding overseer and his family.

Just got back from trick or treating with the kids...

husband is completely, beside himself livid.

he's going to the elders on me.

i've havent been to a meeting in over a year.

Cognac: Husband is completely, beside himself LIVID. He's going to the elders on me.

Nothing screams "CULT" like one family member turning in another.

There actually is nothing the elders can "do" to you. Sure, they can "disfellowship" you, but it sounds like you already cut off all "fellowship" with them a year ago.

Since your hubby is still under their thought/mind control, they can certainly mess him up which will no doubt cause all sorts of complications in your life. But he's an adult and he has to make his own choices.

Ask him why the ultimatums? You would never do that to him? Would you ever say, "You have to leave JWs or I'll leave you!"? But many JWs have left their spouses when they left the organization.

It's so twisted.

But seriously folks, the very notion of "having the truth" as if "truth" is a thing that can be possessed by a single individual or group at the exclusion of others is simply a ridiculous notion.

If I know something that is true and I share it with you, be both now know it. If you share it with someone else, now all three of us know it. I can't somehow "lose" it even if we have a falling out.

The WTBTS talks about "truth" as if it was a tangible physical object rather than the abstraction that it is.

Let's review: It's a cult!
