Seriously, he looks nervous and distracted. Like even HE doesn't believe what he's saying!
He can't even maintain eye contact for more than a few brief moments. It's weird the way he keeps looking off-camera nervously ...
"We have apostates and opposers that would like God's people to think that the 'Faithful Slave' is dogmatic, and they expect you to accept everything that comes out from headquarters …." - 4:44
Um, yeah!
Did ToMo never read the November 15th, 2013 Watchtower with that now infamous maxim:
- All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.

Jesus H. Christ! How many times did that guy say, "obey" or "obedience during that 7:51" talk???

Stop reading old society publications. They are not good for you.
And that means anything published prior to 2000.

BerryGerry: you are not asked to ACCEPT everything, but you are required to OBEY everything.
That's exactly what they expect!

Among other things, I'm a songwriter.
I once wrote a song with a lyric referring to a dream I had. A "brother" once condescendingly said, "We don't have prophetic dreams you know!"
I said, "What are you talking about? I have dreams every night!"
I should have know then: It's a cult!

One of the benefits of our "apostate" world-wide network is that we have discovered that, with few exceptions such as the new HQ, building projects always seem to be going on "somewhere else"!

Been encouraging my husband to contact his DF'd brother
by atacrossroads in
1. jw
2. friends
my husband has a brother he has not spoken too in years not even when he became an adult.

there is a big age gap between them and when his brother was df'd he was still a small child.

his brother was 17 when he was df'd for sex and when he turned 18 he left home and never looked back.

This religion ruins families and destroy natural bonds.
Read your husband this scripture and ask him who it applies to in his situation:
- But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away - 2 Timothy 3:1-5
-
Ask him why he won't reach out to his own brother?

earlier today snugglebunny posted a pic of today's "daily text" which is based on a paragraph from the november 15th, 2013 article.

that magazine contains the now infamous maxim: .

LongHairGal, I think you bring up an excellent point. I DO wonder what they are going to tell JWs to do! Maybe they won't have them get in line for kool-aid. Perhaps the worst is here: Tithe (even though we don't call it that), and don't question any of our stupid ideas like the "overlapping generation" nonsense. Still, it does set the GB up to be able to get the R&F to do just about anything.
If there was ever any question, this statement removed all doubt: It's a cult!
BethSarim: it does make one wonder what they have up their sleeve.
Agreed. See my comments to LHG above.
Smiddy, thanks for the kind words. I completely agree that living well is the best revenge. The one remaining concern I have though is for my two young adult sons that are still "captive" to this cult. I'm trying to figure a way to help them wake up and see that they too can have a real life.
Unfortunately, I have so far been unsuccessful in this regard, but I won't give up!

Apparently "neutrality" doesn't mean what it used to mean.
Neither does "no part of the world."
