so in the early 90's when i was about to get baptized the elder asked me a million questions and one of them was: .
who is the faithful and discreet slave?.
my answer:.
User100 and Marvin, I had a very similar experience. The elder I floated this idea by accused me of having "apostate thinking," whatever that is.
Funny thing, if he was right, then the current GBs are all a bunch of apostates!
I'm thinking he might've been right!
i hated ministry book bags.i hated coming out of my home with the book bags looking like i was going to a seminar.so,i starting going to the ministry school and sunday bible meetings holding only the required books for that day in my hand.. for the sunday meetings,i would just carry the song book,bible and watchtower magazine in my hand.
no book bag!
for the ministry school,i would just carry just what necessary for the evening.
Yeppers, they make the Pharisees look like amateurs!
just wow!.
some of the comments i read were hard to stomach.. https://www.facebook.com/myministryideaz?fref=photo.
I saw this pic on that website:
Don't they know that this is NOT 3 Generations of Bibles and songbooks? It's only one overlapping generation!
Silly cult!
i am happy to report to everyone on this site that i have discovered a magic sandwichtm that cures cancer.
for a small one-time payment of your entire life of thursday nights, sunday afternoons, and recruitment work on saturday mornings - it can be yours!
for your peace of mind, i have provided answers to some commonly asked questions:.
OC: Is the bread in the sandwiches made from Miracle Wheat?
Yes, and the contents are a healthy heaping of bullshit!
Funny post, Coded Logic!
i thought it would be important to clearly point in the recent talk by governing body member stephan lett, that he did in fact deliberately lie concerning what he described as lies and false information by apostates, concerning the organization being permissive toward people in the organization who had been involved in pedophilia.
the truth of the matter is thats exactly what the organization has been doing and perhaps for a long time.
the recent candace conti law suit where she was awarded 28 million dollars was levied against the wts for its irresponsible behavior by the elders who gave no notification of the accused jonathan kendrick that he had been charged with pedophilia and spent months in jail for his actions .
LIE - The opposite of truth. Lying generally involves saying something false to a person who is entitled to know the truth and doing so with the intent to deceive or to injure him or another person. - Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, pp. 244-245
i just read about this on the ex-jw subreddit.
link to the video (10m06s).. skip to 7:35 where he says: "another way we can contribute to the oneness - rejecting false stories that are designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.
as an example, think about the apostate-driven lies and 'dishonesties' that jehovah's organization is permissive toward pedophiles.
WC: @ 3:30 Lett states in greedy sort of Freudian slip, "God wants us to make deposits, NOT withdrawls........"
I don't think that was a slip, I believe it was intentional. Are you familiar with Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)?
While the general scientific opinion is that NLP is pseudoscience, I have repeatedly noticed the use of NLP techniques in WT literature, way too much to be coincidental or unintentional.
well, this is a new development.
she broached the subject of ttatt tonight.
said i was right about the flood.
That's great news!
Slow and steady wins the race.

Notice when let says, "We reject outright such lies!" he averts his eyes. - 8:08"
This is a classic tell of a liar; they often cannot maintain eye contact at the very moment of their lies. Only the most sociopathic of liars can maintain eye contact when lying.

WBF: It's great that they are talking about it ... Now that a GB member brings the subject up, it has been introduced into the indoctrinated mind that probably knew nothing about the problem in the first place.
Exactly!
Now we can ask other JWs, "Did you see the latest video on jw.org? Why do you think the GB is talking so much about pedophiles? Do we have a problem I don't know about?
"Something's not right here ..."
so do you feel bad throwing away your old literature?.
what about your old song book or bible from your early days in the org?.
if so, is it because of sentimentality, monetary cost or because it might be 'sacred' ?.
Garbage should be disposed of in a safe and sanitary means; trash as well, recycled if possible. Either way, ecological and environmentally sound means of disposal should be utilized if at all possible.
