I see right thru that crap as well. It's just them trying to use a manipulative guilt trip on you. It's pure Witness strategy as well.....the whole, "There are a lot more people worse off than you, so suck it up, get over it, and fill the KH seat.....pray more, do more, give more." That type of belittling behavior doesn't impress me in the least, only serves to piss me off and distance me further.

Sorry, But Your Sad Story Doesn't Make Me Feel Better. Is it supposed to?
by Tempest in a Teacup ini have very recently come out of a bout of severe depression which lasted for years.
i have ginormous underlying issues which i hardly talk about, especially to my family.. today my sister came in, wanting to force me to do something she wanted.
her strategy was to make me feel bad for feeling bad, just to show me that my problem (which she has no idea of but thinks she does) wasn't the biggest in the world.

Witnesses Preach to Dog
by snugglebunny in"in el salvador, one man tied his vicious dog in front of the door whenever he saw jehovahs witnesses nearby.
the man would wait for the witnesses to move on, and then he would bring the dog back into the house.
the brothers were never able to speak to the man.

Fo' Shizzle, dog diggity dog! I also call BS on this, primarily because I had heard this one before, many many years ago. It's a total BS urban legend.
I wonder when they are going to polish up the old Smurf tale and trout that out as actually happening?
Sheesh.....they really are scraping the bottom of the barrel and tickling the ears of the intellectually retarded, aren't they?

Today's WT
by OneFingerSalute inso today's wt seems to put out the idea that during early christian times it was god's hand that made the romans build roads, have strong laws, etc.
to make the preaching easier.. anyone else notice that?
some here really banged on about how great it was that god did that, just for them.

Why would God need roads? I mean, I thought the very stones themselves would cry out the message of the Lord? Make up your minds! -

Oh, the irony! Years and years of bad-mouthing and bashing higher education and technology as being from the devil Himself, only to years later embrace it, and require younger people who weren't even supposed to GROW UP in this "System of Things" to show you how to use basic email and an iPad. No one above 40 much less anyone above 60 thought that the year 2015 would be spent like this, in this "Old" System of Things. The "New Order" was supposed to have been here by now. This crap shouldn't even be an issue. We should be relaxing in our wood Chalet by the lake while our deceased relatives are petting pandas and being fed grapes by trained, enslaved, monkeys. End Rant. -

Ok, I'll bite. Why in the ever loving h*ll is Mark Sanderson, a GB Member, dressed like a sheep-like furry? Where and when was this? WTF? Why is TOMO III not scolding this "Brazen" display of "animalistic" tendencies? Where are his horns? Is he a sheep, or a goat? Did he do any pagan dances or sacrifice any virgins? Is Sanderson a virgin, free of sin in Christ's blood?
This photo is hysterical, and makes the leadership of this pseudo-religion look like the socially retarded clowns that they are. Incredible.

"Your good example is much needed for the young ones the congregation."
by Yondaime inhey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since i've posted.
lately i've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.
since i've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good i am doing.. then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.. then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well.

You know it's getting pretty bad in JW-dom when the closeted Apostates are being praised as the "spiritually strong ones" in the Congregation, and being groomed for Elder positions. The irony!!!!!
So much for "Holy Spirit" directing the Shepherds and having say in selecting leadership. Or maybe it is? Maybe Holy Spirit is now trying to work "righteous hearted ones" into local leadership roles to offset the wolves that had taken over and fleeced the flock for so long? Maybe this is YHWH setting things right? Nah.....they are all just full of crap and need more tools and minions to do their bidding. They have no idea you are "awake" and hip to their crap. I'd get promoted, then some evening late at night go thru the entire Congregation files getting all the dirt on the pedo's, etc. I'd then turn them all into the police with copies of the JC forms of what they did.
Screw 'em all, let Holy Spirit sort them out.

Setback
by EdenOne ini saw this coming since my mother-in-law's funeral .... the congregation's "love-bombing" over my wife had its impact.
i watched her drawing closer and closer to her friends in the congregation.
then she decided she would attend the memorial.

Sounds to me from your last post, that you know exactly what needs to be done, and it does NOT include suicide.
DIVORCE.
You are dead last in her list of priorities. That is NO way to live!
Set her free and move on with your life. You'll both feel better. Then, when she finds some a-hole Elder to marry, she'll soon find out just how good she had it with you.
Cults suck balls.

A monster in our midst......
by WingCommander ini am pretty stunned as i write this post.
i guess i shouldn't be after reading years and years of similar incidents on these forums, but here i am nonetheless.
he was convicted in 2001 of possessing child pornography and sentenced to 1 to 2 years in prison.. .

The article was from 2 years ago. He has since been sentenced, probably to the mandatory 25 year sentence, which means he won't be eligible for parole until he is 65, in the year 2040. Hey! Maybe Armageddon will have happened by then?
All I know, is that my parents were both molested as children, and if they had known this creep was like this, they'd be spinning in their graves, as he was only (1) of handful of people ever allowed into our home. (my parents were paranoid due to their childhood experiences)
Makes you wonder what happened to him? Who abused him? How did he get like this? Really messed up.
