  "You owe Jehovah humility and HONESTY" - an email from a JW

  by Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho in

  hey forum goers.

  i'd like your opinions on constructing an email reply to this shocker below.

  bit of background about the sender: she is a middle-aged, cheery uberdub whose siblings left when a schism occured in her congregation in canada way back when.

  "You owe Jehovah humility and honesty. He doesn't favour the intellectual ones who are proud and showy with their academic knowledge."

  So......this person DARES to condescend to actually know how YHWH views "intellectual ones?" What a narcassist!!!

  Funny, the BIBLE actually has a different take on the subject. The little-known example of how the Apostle Paul praised the Boreans for questioning not just him, but the message he brought forth, might be a good example to use on her to shut her up. And just think, Paul was an actual APOSTLE, not some clown-faced retard like Stephen Lett!!!!!! So I tend to think YHWH appreciates people with a brain, not just brainless, autonomous, robotic, idiots like your janitorial friend. Say, how's not getting an education working out for HER? No wonder she doesn't like "intellectual ones", because she's so far removed from being or understanding them.

  Rejoice cos God's tent is.... Disintegrated by a cat 5 truth storm

  just had to share... a former friend of my wife's, has just left our house, unbeknown to us, her and her husband have been inactive for about a year and a half, they have pre teen boys too.

  she reached out to my wife as she had heard that we were apostates etc and needed someone to talk to.. .

  after her father dying she was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and reached out to her cong for support, apon receiving 0 she turned to the bible for comfort only in her raw emotional state to realize that jehovah was a murderous unfair god and then her wheels of rational reasoning started turning.. she questioned things and was outspoken about things and attracted elder attention... long story short she wanted to connect with a friendly ear and she splurged she's never going back, the bible is all bulls**t and it's a cult, despite not knowing most of ttatt we all shared experiences and watched her eyes boggle at (stuckinarut... the first euphoric high) the un scandal, beth sarim, ray franz, 607, arc.

  Similar thing happened in my family, several times actually.

  Father on death bed at home: Zero concern or help from JW's. Mother was told to pray more, be more regular at the meetings, and more active in the field ministry. This, even though she was a full-time breadwinner and mother.
  

  Grandmother on death bed at nursing home: Zero concern or help from JW's. My mother was told to cook her meals.
  

  Mother on death bed in large University Hospital: Zero concern or help from JW's. Upon calling PO Elduh, was told I was interrupting his dinner, and that I should call the local Elduh's in the area. (she was away for organ transplant) Elduh then promptly hung up without so much as a word of spiritual encouragement. I was in a large parking garage, alone, with a cell phone. I picked my jaw up off the floor, hung my head in disbelief and abandonment, and cried my eyes out. The next day, a van load of my mom's "worldly" co-workers showed up. The took the day off, drove 225 miles in a rented van, and made my mother smile on her last day on earth.

  JW's are USELESS in times of need or family tragedy. USELESS. The only thing the Elduh's care about is if you're warming a seat, filling out your timeslip, and DONATING MONEY. You are a number, and a forgettable, expendable, replaceable number at that.

  Fuck this cult, and the slimy, weaselly, uncaring zombies who willfully remain in it. I'll NEVER forget the shitty treatment my entire family received from these holier-than-thou, self-righteous POSEURS!

  Cart witnessing at the Toyota Grand Prix

  by Dagney in

  picture 185,000 people on the streets attending the biggest event in long beach.

  there is a main downtown street which is the only way into the grand prix.

  it’s chaos because it is not private property that can be contained; these are working boulevards with cars and people vying to get where they want to go.

  What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

  he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

  interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

  "The Generation that saw 1914 will not pass away until these things come to pass."

  The entire decade of the 1980's this was used as PROOF of the time of the End that we were in.

  My parents were nervous taking me to my first day of primary school. They (and I) were told The End was near (right from the platform!), and that surely I wouldn't make it to High School, graduation, have to get a job, married, a house, or grow old in this wicked System of Things. I was 4 years old in 1984. I'm 38. All of those things came to pass, and more! My parents and the older ones who LIED to them with false promises? All DEAD. This is the legacy of false prophecy that the WT peddles to "Generations" of ignorant, vulnerable, sheeple.

  so lloyd evans will shortly be releasing his new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.

  i do enjoy his rebuttals and the stuff he manages to get hold of and leak.

  but i'm struggling to understand what he could possibly write to merit a whole book.. all info on how to leave is right here on this forum.

  Lloyd writes books, critiques WT Broadcasts, etc......because he luvs the sound of his own voice!!! My god, haven't you all figured that out yet? His long-winded diatribes are good for putting insomniacs to sleep!

  Give Lloyd a break; he's only following PT Barnum's observation: "There's a sucker born every minute."
