There's a pattern emerging

by stillin in

the congregation that i am associated with pledged a monthly amount for the construction of a new assembly hall.

after it was built, that was where we went for several years, even though it was the farthest-away place we had ever had for our circuit assemblies.. after a few years, lo and behold, our congregation is assigned to a new circuit where (surprise!

) a new assembly hall is in the early stages of construction.

Now that you've recognized the pattern, what do you think it means?

is there anyway to perform either of the two options listed above.

i created a post with a title that is confusing and would like to correct it.

is this possible for myself or an admin to perform?

The post is title no more eating children with the rod. It should have been beating children with the rod.

Because "BEATING" is so much better than "EATING" of children!

January 2015, JW TV on Higher Education.

Here are a few "spiritual gems" that fell out of the mouth (or some orifice) of Anthony Morris, the Turd:

"Higher learning can easily influence thinking and attitudes."

Duh! Isn't that the idea? One can only hope!

"The better the university, the greater the danger!"

WTF?!? The only "danger" is that a person will learn that they are in a dangerous, mind-control cult!

"The most intelligent and eloquent professors will be trying to reshape the thinking of your child and their influence can be tremendous."

Again, one can only hope!

Why do religious people make claims and then refuse to back them up?

by Viviane in

several times over the past few months i have had conversations, both here and in real life, with religious people making all sorts of interesting and conflicting claims.

i like to know how things work, so generally i will ask questions to net out what i am being told and see if it can be explained and make sense.. for instance, if someone said 2+2=4 and i asked how, there are a variety of ways that could be shown to me, a number line, physical objects being put together, counting on fingers and toes, etc.

indeed, in my personal life, i often have to explain how certain technologies work, sometimes planned, sometimes off the cuff, from a variety of group sizes to a varying degree of technical expertise.

Viv, you made me laugh out loud! Love your wit.

Viviane: Also, spanking costs extra, how rude of him to assume!

And I'm sure it's worth every penny!

How much extra for high-heels and fishnets? I've a thing for them too.

I've just been disfellowshipped!

by maksutov in

apparently it was announced last night.

i was not informed (for 'legal reasons'), but they phoned my dad and told him.

i understand it is due to my apostate book.

I hope your father doesn't cut you off, but--sadly-I wouldn't be surprised.

So many of us here have been shunned by family members.

The power of cult, mind-control is very strong.

Billy: I really think that we exJWs have paid much closer attention to the JW broadcraps than the sheeple do.

I 100% concur. I am WAY more up-to-date on JW "theology" now that I'm an evil underground apostate than every single active JW I know. Whenever I talk to them, I can easily trip them up on "New Light" that they don't quite have down.

It's kinda fun to make them squirm that they don't even know their "own beliefs."
