  the problem with you, apostates, is that your doubts were not genuine

  by never a jw in

  1. watchtower

  in page 10 of the correspondence guidelines, in the section of apostasy" i found the following:.

  one who has sincere doubts orquestions should be kindly aided inthe spirit of galatians.... i am forced to conclude that many of you didn't get any aid because your doubts were fake.

  so according to the wt manual, your main sin may have not been doubting, but faking having doubts.

  You are missing that, while doubting is not a disfellowshipping offense, sharing your doubts with other is.

  Stuck: They won't know what to do in the real world at their age...but no doubt expect to be taken care of by others in the local congs!

  That's not going to happen. If the GB won't take care of them, why should the local congregation?

  The GB are saying, "Go. Be warm and well fed!" meanwhile they are living like fatcats from the donations of the sheep they fleece.

  Let's review: It's a fucking cult!

  SBF: Sorry I should offer some explanation. But can I point out I have actually been gone for two years. It's not like I was just messing around. It was for a reason.

  Tell us what you want, leave out whatever you think you need to leave out. You don't OWE US anything. I for one am curious though, but that's it.

  It's just good to have you back!

  I agree with Lois. I think they are doing this to get rid of the word "school" in any meeting titles because of the potential liability issues with pedophiles.

  Hilarious Whatsapp message received - FIRST day after Big D

  by cognitivedizzy in

  a hilarious stupid wa message is being circulated amongst jws in my area / country.. i had a hearty laugh at the ignorance and stupidity and brainwashed mentality, different people may express different emotions so you have been warned.

  day one after armageddon it seems ages since we last heard the gunshots and screams, today has been really quiet.

  the last few weeks have been sheer terror.

  Blondie, thanks for posting that much more likely scenario if JWs were right. Thankfully they are not.

  If Baskins-Robbins quit serving Raspberry sherbert, how many of you would return to Jehovah?

  Is just as relevant a question.

  The answer though is this: you can't "return" to a non-existent, fantasy being.

  Double Standards in the JW world

  by nevaagain in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no other organization has so many written and unwritten rules like the jws.

  so it comes to no suprise that there are a lot of double standards.. even though the end is "near", wt is building new and bigger offices.

  while the small jw should live in a closet and should make plans to have a bigger house in the new world.

  In the matter of Paul v. Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt, United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit, opined that:
  
  "The Witnesses … have developed an elaborate set of rules governing membership."
  

  Now if a judge from the US Court of Appeals says the have elaborate rules, then you really know they have elaborate rules!

  researchers have found evidence of ancient microorganisms that lived in what is now western australia at least 4.1 billion years ago.

  if confirmed, the discovery suggests that life originated on earth 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

  .... the ancient microorganisms in question were found trapped inside zircons formed from magma in western australia.
