Non-compliance of the reporting of hours automatically puts you under suspicion of "falling away" and becoming Apostate.
What a freakin' CULT!
i knew apostasy was a serious concern for the org, but until i watched this video, i had no idea how afraid they actually were.
all this guy wants is to do is not turn in his fs hours and immediately they (elders) set about drilling him about who are what influenced his decision, as if he was incapable of making his own (which as the elders confirm, in the org is highly discouraged).
they are convinced he has been communicating with apostates or visiting apostate web sites.

so i usually get dressed for school at my job.
i couldn't today so i figured i'd drive by my parent's house and ask if i could change there seeing as they live two blocks from my house.
as i am pulling up to my parent's i see a familiar face.
Your own parents don't speak to you? To hell with changing in their house then, I'd never go back! Let them have your snooty-ass sister.......SHE and the "loving congregation" can take care of your parents in their golden years.
i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.
the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .
the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.
I sure hope none of the GB discover REAL watches such as:
Breguet
Glashutte Original
IWC
Patek Phillipe
Panerai
Omega
the past week has been hell for me.
my mother started feeling ill and we went to seek medical assistance.
we live in the mountains and the nearest large hospital is about 150 kms away.
So they ask for your life, then don't want to give any financial help towards the alternative treatment they themselves recommend? They are like the Pharisees in the bible that would say, "Go forth, be warm and well fed....." giving no aide at all. Just empty words. Here your mom sacrificed everything since she was 20 years old, and what do the JW's give back in return? NOTHING! What parasites they are.
Funny......they can't help their own members in times of need, spouting off "pray to Jehovah, Jehovah provides!!!!" Ohhh.....but when it's time for a Kingdom Hall or Assembly Hall, everyone is supposed to open their cheque books!!! Let me tell you, what's good for the goose is good for the gander! Next time they're begging for money, tell them to pray harder, because after all: "Jehovah provides!!" Not me. Not you. Not your mom. Jehovah. That's who should provide for them.
I went thru similar with my mom CookieMonster. She required a blood transfusion with her liver transplant. We went to a well-known bloodless University Medical Hospital. Know what the Dr's & Nurses told us? That 99% of the JW's took whatever blood products were required to save their lives, then kept their mouths shut about it. That is the way to get around shunning, DF'ing, etc.....keep your mouth shut and admit to NOTHING! My mother and I were stunned. So, when she needed blood products - she GOT them. However, the transplant eventually failed and she passed away. Nobody's fault. Just happened. And the JW's? I called an Elder friend and inquired if he'd come console my dying mother in the hospital. His response? He was mad that I'd interrupted his dinner, and also that I should call the local Elders and have THEM come offer spiritual support. Then, **CLICK**. He had hung up. I was sitting in my car in the parking garage of the University Hospital, and my jaw was on the floor. I actually broke down crying at the shock of it all......not just my mothers condition, but how we'd been left to fend for ourselves by "God's Organization". My mom had been a JW for 25 years. Never a lick of trouble. She was a RN for 35 years, and helped countless people who were sick. JW's didn't give 2 sh*ts about her. Couldn't have cared less. They are a cold, heartless, disgusting, CULT.
we have the convention this weekend and many jw families are arriving.
one family that ive known for many years from new mexico stopped by to visit my mom.
hes been an elder since the 80s.
i read on another thread (on another forum) where someone mentioned a truly guilt-inducing, cringe-worthy, "bad association" video that was played at this summers rc's.
here is how that person described it:.
"the video about "bad association" was really weird.
I just scrolled thru (fast-forward, stop, repeat) some of this Convention and wow! Crazy! Lett is a freakin' clown! TOMO III is wearing what looks to be a Brooks Brothers suit, shiny shoes, gold pinky ring, gold tie clip. Nothin' but the best for TOMO III. Lett looks like a used car salesman in his JC Penny suit! (though he did have his pinky ring on too) I swear, I could only take small doses of TOMO III, as his smug, condescending disposition totally turns me off. How in the hell can people clap like seals for that egomaniac? Not me!!!!
This is a different, dumbed down religion for sure. Loved how TOMO III spoke about people of the world not wanting to be "controlled". No shit Sherlock, we out here all have a little something called FREE WILL.
Screw that fat windbag; I'm so glad I've not donated a dime to the WT cult since I was 10!

a couple friends pointed me to some info on the sabbath and i just plain like it, being the workaholic i am it's a lifesaver for me and gives me the motivation to be more balanced about my business and work schedule.
so from there i looked into the adventists and found a hall near my place and went last week.
i honestly enjoyed myself and the meeting time is not disruptive and the people were great and pretty laid back.
And Mitt Romney (LDS/Mormom) was a Presidential Candidate. So what? That doesn't make him any less of a cult member. People and their "titles" (above) don't mean sh*t to me if they are in a cult. People in the military (especially) are trained to merely "take orders", "do as they're told", and "not think about it." Perfect cult member if there ever was one. Critical thinking is discouraged in the military. They don't want soldiers to "think", they want robotic soldiers who follow commands without question!
You live in Australia? Good for you. You should come up here to Pennsylvania (USA), the very heart of these 19th century cults, and try being in their congregations? The closer you get to the source, the more hardcore it becomes. JW's will tell you; Congregations on the West Coast (California, USA) are very very liberal and different than here in PA or up in New York. The closer you get to HQ, the crazier and more strict, fanatical, and zealous it becomes.
did anyone here get to hear the talk you will be with me in paradise by ciro aulicino in 2007 at the summer convention?
i found part of the talk in youtube.
oh the memories!!
Ciro: Is that guy still around? I thought they put him out to pasture in some trailer, never to be seen again? He was the dumbazz that signed / ratified the UN-NGO agreement, allowing the WTBTS to get up on the Wild Beast and ride it around for 11 years in order to use the Library Card, and mooch off other UN benefits.
Good 'ol Ciro. What a loon! I'm sure the ol' Oracle Freddy Franz just loved that crazy Ciro. They were from the same insane asylum I believe.

"The video about "bad association" was really weird. Apparently a true a story, it's about a teenage girl who relates how she was friends with some girls at school. One day, they invited her to play basketball with them at the park after school. She went with them, and they all set their backpacks down by the fence while they played. Suddenly, some boys ran up and grabbed the backpacks, attempting to steal them. The girls started trying to fight them off, and then the police came to break up the fight. The narrator was afraid that she would get in trouble, so she ran away. She was very depressed and guilty for a while over her bad association. Just a very odd and pointless video overall. The girl and her friends weren't even involved in any 'wrongdoing'."
Can someone post a youtube link or something to this so we can see the "awkward", guilt-inducing cult-speak for ourselves? I tell you, just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder or lame, you hear something new. What a freakin' cult.
