If Someone Touches Woman’s Breast and Covers it up…

by John Aquila in

one of the elders schools i attended, we dealt with a person who touched a girls breast and covered it up and kept it secret until it was revealed through a source.

the instructor first laid the ground work for a guilt trip.

he read this scripture;.

WingCommander

I love the guilt trip about "Stumbling others." That is such a huge manipulative guilt trip.

Question; where does "personal accountability" come into play? As in, people shouldn't be so f*cking stupid in the first place as to let others "stumble" them before the Almighty God? We are all judged as individuals, so individual accountability has to come into play at some point.

Trying to hold your families lives out over your head for how you judge others as Elders is really f*cked up and sick, and just screams "Cult." Wow! So glad I never went out for that team. **GAG**

London Bethelites Are Agitated!

by The Searcher in

a source has informed me that a relative who's in london bethel has said that a number of bethelites there are very uncomfortable and embarrassed because the branch has received "quite a few letters" querying why members of the governing body were wearing flashy rings and jewellery on some of the monthly broadcasts, but on the broadcast when the g.b.

asked for more money from the congregations - their gold and jewellery was not on display!.

will probably emerge one day wearing sackcloth, begging for yet more donations..

Holy Crap! Is that a REAL WatchTower, and not an funny apostate made-up cover? For real????? Now those posuers act and look exactly the same! Incredible hypocrisy!

TV.JW.ORG (September 2015) - Generation explained again

by Designer Stubble in

guess the overlapping generation concept is difficult for most to comprehend.

david spane does his best to explain it again.

the cutoff date for this generation has now moved to 1992 (was once 1935), the year that fred franz died.

WingCommander

I am 36. I was 4 years old when the May 1984 WT came out with the "Generation of 1914" old timers on the cover. Every single one of them is dead. David Splane nor any of those other simpletons can erase the past that I grew up in, that I was raised in, that was INDOCTRINATED IN. It is forever embedded in my mind, even at such a young age. Bullsh*t convoluted logic such as this will not force me to forget the urgency in which I grew up in. The urgency was THEN (the 1969-1995 period), and is NOT now. Now it is all so pathetic and sad to watch.

What makes me sad is that the "generation" of teenagers and 20-somethings right now - today, know absolutely nothing of that level of urgency. It's all JW dot Org TV and manipulative Caleb & Sophie videos and easy-as-pie cart witnessing. They really have no clue what for false hope we were sold in the 1970's thru 1995. No clue, they were born after. Just as I had no clue about 1975, 1925, etc, etc. That is, until I started looking on the internet in 1999. Thank God for the internet and the expansion of knowledge, the uncovering of frauds.

Today's JWs

by jws in

jw
friends

so i posted earlier in the year that one of my son's friends is a jw.

he can never do anything on wednesdays because it's a meeting night.

same for sunday early afternoons.

WingCommander

ANY extra-curricular activities were forbidden was I was growing up. (I'm 36) Here are the end-all, be-all buzzkill reasons that would squash any such forbidden thoughts of kid participation:

- Bad Association

- Spirit of competitiveness (from Satan)

- Worldly Association

- Risk of injury

- Promotes boasting and a feeling of pride (can't have that!)

- Brings undue attention to yourself, instead of Jah's Organization

- Bad association spoils useful habits! (Gag me with a spoon!)

- Did I mention the worldly people?

- That is time that could be spent saving lives in the "Field Ministry".

Done.....done done done....

by dubstepped in

my wife and i just found out that our disassociation was announced last night.

we....are...free!.

i'd like to take a moment to thank some people:.

Your list reads like so many others whom experiences I've seen and read about. Truly, this religion shoots itself in the foot, then places its foot in it's mouth, then turns around and shoves it's foot-in-mouth head up it's own ass.

Wow......what a spiritual "smothering" your wife is being subjected to. Basically, it's spiritual abuse. Those two need to find a new hobby project, and stop harassing your wife. That level of constant "up in yo' business", is not acceptable to me.

The elderly sisters are at it again.

by John Aquila in

awhile back, about a year and a half ago, when i was starting to wake up, i explained to my mom that when the circuit overseer is in town, they schedule shepherding calls after lunch, not because they care, but because they dont want to work door to door in the hot summer or cold winter.

and they know that a prepared call means some nice hot chocolate and cookies or some ice cold tea and snacks.

i remember her looking at me kind of funny so i ended the conversation and left it at that, and never brought it up again.

In Jesus' day, the Great Teacher & Shepherd provided food for the masses.

In WT Org's day, the masses provide food for the Shepherd.

What is wrong with this picture???

by WingCommander in

jw

anyone in the usa following this morning's shooting "on-air" live tv will know what i'm talking about.

bryce williams (not real name, but on-air name) shot and killed 2 people on live television this morning in roanoke, va. he was wearing a go-pro camera, and uploaded his first-person video onto his social media accounts.

i've seen his twitter feed (before it was taken down), and not very far down he mentions being raised a jw.

Australians don't drink Fosters. Not at all. I was just on holiday with several Aussies, and asked them about Fosters. They looked at me like I had a 3rd eye and 3rd head. They told me nobody drinks Fosters in Australia, that's just American swill. They drink other stuff. Fosters isn't even a consideration. It's American-made bull-shit. Fosters! That's a good one.

bloody religion !!! how could any sane people do this - 2 girls to be raped as a punishment for their brother's "crime."

by fulltimestudent in

jw
friends

been sitting on this for a few days, confining my anger, to an area where i can control it.. two indian sisters to be raped as 'punishment' after brother eloped.

two sisters in india - one aged only 15 years - are to be raped as "punishment" for their brother running away with a married woman from a higher caste in the latest case to shock the country.meenakshi kumari, who is 23, and her younger sister, will then be paraded naked with their faces blackened through the streets, according to a ruling from the all-male village council.. the family are from the dalit caste, historically known as "untouchables".

however, the brother fell in love with a woman from the higher, jat, caste.

I love how people think Indian Hindu's, etc are harmless, peaceful, etc. They are about as harmless as ISIS, and examples like this PROVE it. People who think India is so great, should try living in that stinking sh*t-house. Me? No thanks.

Don't shut down YOUR Facebook account. That just means they've won on some small scale. No! Learn to use your settings and security protocols correctly. Got people messaging you? BLOCK THEM. Keep on blocking people until they all get the message. Have your FB settings so that ONLY your FRIENDS can see your posts. That's it! People leaving their social media "open" is a huge problem that comes back to bite them in the ass. Lock it up, people! Don't less the assholes of the world win.
