local needs "are you spiritually grown up?"
by sylvlef inyesterday local needs was this theme.
are you spiritually grown up.. summary: if you are between 18-35 and not ms or elder, you lazy idiot are like a child.
at this age, especially if you grew up in "da trooooth" you have no issue with jw.org doctrine right (how do you know...?

Jesus didn't go "undercover" to point out the hypocrisy and injustices of the Temple Scribes and Pharisees of His day, did He? Didn't he actually go and turn tables up on them? That would have been very bold and forward at that time I would think. He wasn't all covert. Why then, should all of us be hiding under a rock? If this guy wants to up and enter a Kingdom Hall and turn tables on these Neo-Pharisees, I say let him do it. Maybe a few will think, "Gee.....if this guy has nothing of merit to say and it isn't true, why are the Elders trying to shut him up?"

I'd take that photo and make it my FB profile picture, just to piss off my "former" family. Cause I tell you, any parents that would treat me the way your parents have treated you, sure as h*ll wouldn't be called "family" to me. They would be called "crazy cruel cultists" that I would never want to see again.
Instead of weeping for what could of been, you should pat yourself on the back for getting your family away from such toxic individuals....because that's exactly what they are - TOXIC.
Dad's in the hospital? He's had a stroke? They are all sad and regretful? Well now, I guess they've reaped what they've sewn. Let the fine loving Congregation full of their "spiritual brothers and sisters" come visit them in the nursing home and wipe their azzes. Ha! (like that's ever going to happen!) After all, that's what the WT has continually piped into their brains, that YOU are DEAD, and that the Congregation is their family, right?
I feel for you and your situation, but not for the people who have inflicted so much pain upon you. Concentrate on your current family who actually treat you as such, and forget about the people who tossed you out like trash over 25 years ago.

Wait, this letter was all caused because of no-shave Movember? WTF?????
What a CULT. If crap like this doesn't prove it's a high-control group and uncaring CULT, I don't know what does.
Can't even support a different charity for a month? What a bunch of money-grubbing morons. I still can't get over some of shallow-mindedness I/we were all subjected to.
Let's review: It's a CULT!

2 Faced JWs and Thanksgiving

THANKSGIVING: Began as the annual autumn harvest in Hebrew called "Festival of Booths" or "Festival of Ingathering" (of crops with thanks to Him) (Lev 23:33, Deu 16:13) now celebrated in numerous nations on many continents.
By denying normal holiday feasts and family gatherings, the JW.org has "gone beyond what is written." Actually, they are actually going against what the scriptures actually state.
Proof? Unlike the JW.org, I've got the scriptures on my side:
Colossians 2:16 says, "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by food, drink, a religious festival, New Moon celebration or Sabbath day."
^^ There's a scripture I bet the Org wishes didn't exist. They never quote it, and am surprised they didn't remove it from their "new and improved" silver sword Bible, what with it directly contradicting what they preach.

If YHWH wants them to go house to house, he should part the snow drifts like he did the Red Sea. I mean c'mon, this is life-saving work that MUST be done!
Nevermind. I see that instead of parting the drifts he is sending the Sun God Ra out to melt all the snow this weekend and cause flooding, the likes of which hasn't been seen since Noah's Day. Whoooaa.....to all the pregnant women in Buffalo, NY!

Ongoing frustration with wife
by Flipping El ini've tried taking the slow, patient approach with my wife.
i believe i first posted here about 13 months ago about my wife.. we've always had good communication and could talk endlessly about philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and then when i learned the ttatt, i clammed up a bit about spiritual things.
i'd always been fairly liberal, suggesting other alternative ideas, but then i told my wife about the un/ngo scandal (i ran across the guardian story doing a talk as an ms, lol!

It sounds like not only is she dealing with her own cognative disodence, but also trying to self-sabotage her marriage as the Cult has programmed her that if you aren't JW's, you will end up divorced, alone, and on drugs. So in a way, the cult has programmed into it's followers a sort of self-fullfilling prophecy as it were. To be out of the cult, happy, and with your marriage in tact and a belief in God? ERROR....does not compute. Self-destruct in 3.....2....1.....
She needs counciling, or at least to read Steve Hassaan's books...ALL of them. I'd hand her his 1st one the next time she starts in on the guilt trip and/or wanting to talk about your feelings on spirituality. Tell her to soak that up, then you'll talk.
