Last time I checked, Congregations paid the bills, not the WT/GB paying the Sheeple's bills. Who are they to dictate what level of education, job, income level we obtain? They need a dose of reality. Sitting up there on their compound by the lake, espousing how everyone should be like them, living high off the hog. The freakin' balls these people have never ceases to amaze me. Total lack of a sense of reality, cause they've never had to live in reality, just a made-up JW fantasy La-La Land while they wait for a future panda-petting paradise. Craziness.

'Seek the Kingdom First' Economics
by Tornintwo inhas anyone else's family finances been victim to the 'seek the kingdom first' economic policy?.
for years, my husband and i have had our own business, my husband is not the most proactive guy, prefers to go in field service than to work, but he has always encouraged me to 'rely on jehovah and all these other things will be added to you', 'seek the kingdom first' etc etc.
there have been times, such as when i was heavily pregnant and we lost a big deal, that i have been begging jehovah on hands and knees to honour that promise, wondering why he wasn't helping us.

I'm confused, he's talking about himself, isn't he?
Those bible verses seem to describe JW's of today to a "T".
Ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing.

Hey! What do you know? I too am a nymphomaniac. I've suffered from it all my life. I've masturbated since I can first remember, and hated being made to feel guilty about something I felt I couldn't help. Repressing my urges only made me a basket-case. Come to find out as an adult, that men NEED to masturbate, or else they are at high risk for prostate cancer later in life. There's something scientific that you'll never hear in a Kingdom Hall.
You are so lucky to not have been "born in" like I was and be repressed and socially stunted. I really envy you that you recognized the BS early on and got out early. Not saying I agree with bisexuality, but it doesn't matter; it's YOUR life, my opinion doesn't matter.
Welcome, and best of luck to you.

Reading the Bible in 6 months isn't "anything to brag about" - Anthony Morris
by mac n cheese inthe 2015 annual meeting, specifically, part 1, right about minute 27, has anthony morris emphasizing that "you're better off reading one chapter (of the bible) and really absorbing it" than just reading the whole thing "as a challenge".
while i agree with the the whole idea of meditating on anything you read, it was doing this very thing that brought up so many unanswered questions.
i also came to the constant realization that the jws did not have a clue about what the bible really said.

Rubber-faced Lett's talk is a real kicker as well. Talking about "imitation Christians", "Brazen Conduct," etc.
What a buffoon!!

So everyone who dresses in Brooks Brothers suits, wears a Rolex, and doesn't think smoking dope and having orgies is a Republican?
That's like me saying all Liberals are long haired hippies who smoke dope, like orgies, like gay sex too, endorse Abortions no matter what, want to legalize all hard drugs, and drive Prius to their job at the farm collective.

So what you are saying is that your nephew is smart, AND gay? Something tells me he needs to get out of Dodge, and quick, before he's "discovered" and the pitchforks (JC) come for him.

I wanted to pop in and state that this type of delusional thinking is not just JW's. My S-I-L (Advent Lutheran), really thinks she is God's gift, so much so that she convinced herself that while singing hymnals on the way to work one day, she felt Holy Spirit wash over her and when she looked around she saw ZERO cars on a major interstate, and that she just knew she was "healed" of her autoimmune disorder. Now, this person is a CEO of a Bank, so it was Friday, and upon going into the weekly staff meeting, she opened said meeting by conducting a prayer, then related her miraculous "healing experience" on the way to work for all to hear. She then tested her theory, and miraculously she was in fact cured! (sensitive to food temps, would break out in rashes, etc like an allergy) Nevermind the fact that she had been obese before, stressed, overworked, etc and had lost a lot of weight due to said ailment, and work was better....nope! GOD cured her, on the way to work in her car. Ummm.....yeaaaaaah.......I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to check into a mental hospital.....yeaaaaah. She then sent out a mass email with her "testimony", and placed it on Facebook as well. She sent it to our family (we're estanged) and I thought it was a joke at first! It was bat-shit crazy! Coo-Coo for Cocoa puffs!!! So let me get this straight.......God can take the time to heal some obese, upper middle-class American bean counter of some autoimmune disorder, but he lets the kids in Africa starve, and the women in Sierra Leona be raped on a daily basis? Get the f*ck out of here, poseurs!
This is epitome of human arrogance; actually believing that a superior being is catering to YOU, out over less fortunate people on this planet. Somehow, God cares about your business dealings, or whether you find your car keys, or if you need that sex change operation or win that tennis match.......but he can't seem to find the time to help out the scared to death Christians in the Middle East whom are fleeing for their very lives from ISIS? That's whack.

Are you guys serious? JW leadership doesn't equate with American Democrat or Republican. They couldn't give 2 shits about political parties. THEY are already rulers, so what do they care? They don't. You can't politicize everything. Sheesh. -

Headline: "Islamic Invasion: Europe now scrambles for guns." How true is this?
by cappytan ina year to a year and a half ago, i would have taken this article at face value and believed it.. now, i realize this article comes from a dubious source.
world news daily has a die-hard right-wing bias.
so, in an effort to get real information, i'm asking my european exjw's, is this article all true?

Take a good, long, hard look at the Macys response above. This is from someone with relatives in these countries. (Sweden, Germany). I have heard Sweden in particular is BAD, so much so that most of the Jewish population that settled in after WWII, has left Stockholm and returned to Israel due to the Islamic persecution of them. I heard this about 2 years ago already. This isn't "sensationalism". This is FACT. Muslims moving into parts of France, England, etc, and then trying to enact Sharia Law into effect isn't "Sensationalism", it's happened, and IS happening.
Those of us living in America damned sure better take note: This is what is coming to our soil. It's been getting worse and worse in cities like Detroit, as well as Buffalo. I know, I've been there and seen it. Ever get to Niagara Falls, USA or Canadian side? Looks like you're in the Middle East. It's uncomfortable. I'll bet the Swedes and Germans wish they had more firepower. The immigrants somehow seem to find them? I'm baffled; I mean, what about the GUN LAWS these countries have? Good for keeping the innocent civilians unarmed like Sheeple, while the immigrants import in the AK's, etc for terrorizing. (Example: That rampage a few months ago in France with those guys sporting AK's, all the while the French had to run away and hide due to being unarmed)
An unarmed population is a population of victims waiting to be taken advantage of by a stronger-willed, defiant, intolerant, armed invading force who don't care about your laws, civility, or religion. They don't have to march in like the Nazis either; they'll just "immigrate" in, settle in, breed, take advantage of your societies Social Welfare structure (again, Sweden is hurting right now from the weight), and then vote themselves into office to push their agendas. Basically, winning by attrition.
Europe with their pussified, pacifist mentality is already a lost cause as far as I'm concerned. There is hope for Australia, as they are starting to drop the hammer on immigration. (As I've heard from a few Aussie friends at least). Canada better take note. USA: I'm up in the air. Southern California might as well join Mexico.
