New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

by Daniel1555 in

the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

committeechairman: At some point, I will not be able to conscientiously support what is going on and will have to opt out of being an elder and eventually being a JW as well.

I realize this will sound judgmental (and I suppose it is), but how can you support it now?

It's already bad. How much worse will it have to get before you make the already inevitable decision? Will you wait for the Kool-aid line to form?

As this thread title says, these policies and practices destroy families. This is already happening, ... now!

Let's review: It's a cult!

so when you first found out specific facts about the organisation, how did you feel??.

the un membership.

the way 1914 was calculated from pyramid measurements.

Betrayed.

But then it got worse. Everyone that I thought were my closest family and friends betrayed me again by choosing loyalty to this corrupt, lying religion over me.

i need some advice guys.

how do you get people to mind their own buiseness without coming off as rude?.

i was invited to a jw gathering last night.

Start asking them the same kind of intrusive questions:

- I hear JWs don't believe in oral sex. Is that true?

- Really?!? What kinds of sexual positions are approved? Who decides these things? Has it always been this way? (It hasn't, in case you don't already know this).

- How long have you been married?

- Do you still have sex? I've heard couples that've been married that long never have sex any more. Is that true?

one of the businesses i cover is owned by jws and the father and 2 sons knew me as an active brother until 3 years ago when i told one of them i no longer attend the meeting.

today the father and one of the sons asked me if i was still inactive.

i told them it has been more than 5 years since i last been at a meeting.

Stuck: Why would someone willingly choose to return to an "abusive spouse"?

Read up on codependent relationships and you'll find that is exactly what MOST people in such a relationship do.

It's ironic that a black man would use skull size to try to "prove" that women are less intelligent than men.

I guess he doesn't know his history very well as this was an 18th century attempt to justify slavery and other means of exploiting people of color:

Craniometry and physical anthropology

-

I suppose in Herd's case, his lack of intelligence has nothing to do with head size--his is quite large--but rather from a lack of appropriate education, training and subsequent disuse.

Sorry for the occasional unintentional 'dislike'

by paul from cleveland in

i read this forum on my phone so occasionally, as i'm scrolling down the page, i accidentally touch the 'dislike' button on a comment.

i don't have the option to 'undislike' after i touch it.

once i touch the button, i can't change it.

Well I would certainly LIKE that, Simon!

sparky: "Not that there's anything wrong with it."

Um, his obsession is different than the kind you have in mind, but I'm pretty sure you know this.

I attended one of the "Elder Schools" in the '90s and Sammy the Bigot was the GB instructor. During one session he spent about 30 minutes ranting on about lesbians, how they were somehow worse than other "sinners."

It had nothing to do with the subject matter on the program. It was beyond awkward.

He's obsessed with lesbians.
