Epic Discussion ( Confrontation ) with JW Cart People about WT Child Abuse

by flipper in

so i had about had enough of reading jw's excuses online about wt child abuse and the candace conti nightline abc video about her case.

this is a really deep burning topic to me as i'm sure it is to many of you.

so today the gloves came off.

Is there a Child Molester on the Governing Body?

by TTATTelder in

great report by abc on the abuses in jw-dot-org land.... i hope it opens a "floodgate" of future news reports and exposes.

if you ask yourself, "why hasn't the watchtower leadership changed their policy on the 2 witness rule?

if one or more persons on the gb has victims out there that can't come forward because of the 2 witness rule, then that would explain the permanent road block to policy change that is obviously in place.

Interesting thought ...

WT is trying to scare off memorial partakers

by cookiemaster in

i don't know how many of you still participate in the sunday wt study, but i unfortunately still do.

even though i was asleep half of the time, i did notice something i thought i should share with the rest, in case you haven't noticed.

a lot of the paragraphs were worded strongly against partaking and used clear language of intimidation and discouragement toward anyone thinking of partaking.

All of us non-DF'd "apostates" should show up and partake just to drive them crazy!

Nah, just kidding!

Growing number of memorial partakers explained(?) by local elder

by stillin in

i brought this up in a conversation after today's meeting.

the elder knowingly acknowledged the growing number and pointed out that of course, now we understand why this is so.

i gave my best blank stare and said "we do?

Oubliette

stillin: does anybody here have a clue what he was talking about?

Of course not, and neither does that elder.

He tried to use a nonsensical teaching to explain a discordant fact that flatly contradicts decades of JW "Old Light."

Brother so and so doesn't accept counsel

by hoser in

i am not sure if anyone else here heard this phrase.

i did from a circuit overseer when i was a servant many moons ago.

with my newly enlightened mind i finally understand what this means.

Brother so and so won't do what I/we tell him to do!

Elder Using Innuendos at Every Single Opportunity

by Tempest in a Teacup in

there's this elder in my hall.

in his comments and talks, he loves to include the kind of details that would leave listeners wondering who his comment/talk is about.

he seems to see himself as a jw behaviour expert and drops titbits whenever he's behind the mic.

Oubliette

He learned it from the GB members, probably fancies himself a kindred spirit. I mean, who wouldn't want to be like Ol' Rubberface, Stephen Lett!

Examining the Watchtower daily

by kairos in

...i mean scriptures.. .

wow, how did i miss this.. open up you examining the scriptures daily ( "daily text" ).

the booklet is about 80% watchtower comments.

Oubliette

Kairos: I'm convinced that witnesses do not understand the definition of evidence.

Sure they do.

It's when someone on the GB introduces a new doctrine with the word: evidently.

"He [Jesus] evidently meant that the lives of the anointed who were on hand when the sign began to become evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." Watchtower 2010 April 15 p.10
"John Barr ... twice read the comment: "Jesus evidently meant that the lives of the anointed ones who were on hand when the sign began to be evident in 1914 would overlap with the lives of the other anointed ones who would see the start of the great tribulation." We do not know the exact length of "this generation," but it includes these two groups whose lives overlap. Even though the anointed vary in age, those in the two groups constituting the generation are contemporaries during the part of the last days. How comforting it is to know that the younger anointed contemporaries of those older anointed ones who discerned the sign when it became evident beginning in 1914 will not die off before the great tribulation starts!" Watchtower 2010 June 15 p.5
