  brother jackson visits the italy branch.to all the missing brothers and ex-brothers greetings stay healthy!this week brother jackson from world headquarters is visiting rome and bologna where the new branch will be built (by now the watchtower has turned into a multinational construction company and the old days are just a beautiful faded memory).the bethel of "italian/dissident/fugitive/spiritual" witnesses (active, but who do not agree with the organization's policies and directives because they are unscriptural) which has only a virtual location on the internet, (john 4:23, 24) will inform with a simple report this weekend.these are routine visits, but sometimes information of interest to the lord's servants can come out by mistakegreetings.

  stay healthy!

  July 2023 Study Article 29: Are You Ready for the GT (part 3)

  had to take a break to get my chores caught up; last section: strengthen your love.

  this implies that any jw had "real" love or knew what it was outside the wts definition.

  many jws just perpetuate the type of love they were show in their congregation.

  JW's: "Have a form of Godly devotion, yet prove false to it's powers."

  
  Christianity completely escapes them. It's all symbolism over substance.

  Jesus said his followers would be easy to recognize by the love they showed towards one another. A JW Congregation is like a den of vipers!

  Jesus also said the Commandments could be narrowed down to the just 2: "Love your neighbours as yourself, and look after orphans and widows." The JW's do neither, and couldn't care less.

  They are false prophets and are a Pharasitical Neo-Judaic Cult masquerading as a legitimate Christian denomination.

  FYI: This is a 3-part series. The last segment is scheduled to air Thursday evening.

  Fox43 is uploading each segment to their Youtube account.

  This is where I live. Martin Haugh and others in this area were on the 2nd part of the Oxygen Network documentary, "The Witnesses."

  This area is absolutely overflowing with CSA cases. What you are hearing about in the media is like a thimble from the bucket.

  WEASEL WORDS--WHAT ARE THEY--HOW THE WTS USES

  by blondie in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  "a number of techniques employed to mislead others fall under the category of weasel words, and this article quotes examples that are regularly found in watchtower publications.. weasel words are defined as:.

  “words or statements that are intentionally ambiguous or misleading,”[1].

  intended “to avoid answering a question clearly or to make someone believe something that is not true."[2].

  My new favourite weasel word comes for Gluttonous Bozo member Geoffrey Jackoff:

  Presumptuous

  1. Welcome back.

  2. You've been "out" 12 years? Whoa boy!!! Hold on, you're in for a bumpy ride!

  3. JW Broadcasting really fired up AFTER your exit. This is when the switch to greedy televangelism REALLY got rolling full-swing in JW Land. It's been a real shit-show! Tony Morris and in particular, Stephen Lett will make you think you are a baby! Lett talks down to the audience as if they are simpleton morons, much like Heaven's Gate leader Marshall Applewhite did. In fact, they are eerily similar looking in appearance AND mannerisms.

  4. Everything has in fact, been "dumbed down." Below moronic levels, they are now at sub-moronic.

  5. Literature has been cut - SEVERELY. I believe the WatchTower is now only printed like twice a year! Maybe quarterly? The volume went from like 32 pages down to 16? The Awake! magazine I think was actually canceled! As someone born and raised in the 80's, this is a complete shock. Would have never imagined this to happen. In fact, we were always told that as we neared "The End" that preaching and printing would PICK UP as a greater Witness. Guess that's all down the shitter now, huh?

  Congrats on your recovery and prayers for continued strength and good health.

  I'm only 43 and in good health, but I get a colonoscopy every 5 years. They've gotten soooo much better over the years.

  This type of censorship BS didn't just stop with worldly music. NO.

  As a child of the 80's, not only could I not have or listen to worldly rock music, but I was forbidden from wearing any clothing whatsoever that bore large logos. This was considered worldly, materialistic, or having a "showy display of one's wealth." No t-shirts with pictures of anything on them either.

  This meant up until I was about 15 and old enough to get a job and buy my own clothes with my own money, I was forced to always have a very cheap, "Generic" look at school. You can guess how this went over, and how it crushed my self-esteem and effected my demeanor. My parents were also the typical "cheap" JW's, so especially as a child this meant shopping at the local Goodwill and thrift shops. So not only generic crap, but used out-of-style CRAP. I was perpetually pissed off at this treatment, especially because we were more middle-class, and THEY didn't buy their clothes at Goodwill. (though they did dress cheap and generic)

  As soon as I was old enough and had my own money, it was on. I bought the clothes I wanted, I bought the music I wanted, and anything else. Fugg 'em! I've never shopped or subjected my son to a Goodwill store either. (only high-end thrift store, of which there are a few around here with damn nice stuff when he was a very small kid)

  I was also not allowed to have any posters on my wall of anything other than nature scenes. Everything else was considered idolatry, false idols. Growing up a JW was INSANITY. Everything was "No." No friends that weren't JW's, no riding the bus, no school activities, no afterschool anything, no sports, no going to friends houses, no going outside of my own yard, no going to the mall without parents, no going to the movies no NOTHING that wasn't JW-related. This is how I grew up. My parents NEVER took me to see a movie in a movie theater. I was 16 yrs old when I went by myself to a movie theater the first time. I was so excited! The isolation I was subjected to was prison-like frankly. Gee, any wonder I was resent this oppressive cult now? Big mystery.

  ever since the annual meeting last october and the letter to bodies of elders stating that "exceptional young men perhaps in their early 20's could qualify for appointment as elders.." it even states this in the updated elders manual!

  i am talking 21, 22, 23, 24 etc.
