Pure, contrived, BS!! Luke was a doctor. Paul was a tax collector (math, anyone?) Funny, when WT HQ comes calling, they want EDUCATED lawyers, accountants, and engineers to work in the big house. Those who clean toilets and wash windows are a dime a dozen, and fully expendable. People need to get a clue and see this for what it is - a total farce of a religion.

Today's Daily Text - Being Uneducated And Ordinary... WTF!!!
by Divergent inthursday, march 3. they were uneducated and ordinary men.—acts 4:13.. in recent years, the spiritual instruction provided by jehovah’s organization has reflected an increased emphasis on simplicity and clarity.
consider three examples.
first, there is the simplified edition of the watchtower.

Scientologists have a slew of crazy videos too, produced down in Clearwater, FL. I don't watch any of them either. -

Damn it feels good to be free and on my own without the pressure to do more as a JW slave
by No Longer a JW Brother ini don't know where to begin but damn it feels so good to be free of mind control.
i'm only officially out since this past december but i was out mentally for two hot years under the close watch of my batshit crazy psycho parents who bothered me every sunday to see what i thought about the meeting.
it was necessary for me to lie through my teeth.

Ten years out.....
by snare&racket ini'm not sure how useful this post will be, but i feel compelled to write it.
with many of my older posts, i wrote them with a younger jw version of me in mind.
with this i write it with a younger newly ex jw in mind.. ten years ago i went to my presiding overseer and told him my concerns about wt owning 'rand cam' military stocks, about unfulfilled prophecy and human error in the governing body and the theocratic consequences of such.

JW boys motto to get around Elders at a JC:
"If you didn't see my dick, you must acquit!"
{Gavel slams down} - Innocent! You are free to go! As for the young lady, your protruding belly is an obvious sign from JE-HOV-ER that you have sinned. You are now disfellowshipped. Go forth, be warm, and well fed!
Praise Jah! Amen. This concludes our Judicial proceedings. Hey, let's all head over to Elder Companyowner's lavish home and get drunk while watching football! (other Elders) - Yaaaaaaah!!

Are you A comments/like junkie?
by olongapo joe ini admit that i am, i started a thread on my youthful drinking, that went absolutely nowhere.
so here i am looking for some love.
i have spent hours on this site reading others experiences (real or imagined), i question some of john aguilars( i did not comment on johns post, just mentally thought it sounded a little far fetched) and notice when others question how he is always in the right place at the right time, he seems to stop commenting.

John A, is truly a trip. By his account, he's met HUNDREDS of Apostates in his adventures, meetings, and travels. He's openly spoken to Elders about JW doctrine, helped active JW's leave, and much, much more! All the while, somehow never being asked to attend a Judicial Committee? I'll let you decide how bonafide his fairy tales are. -

My meeting yesterday
by stephanie61092 inso i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.
god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.
can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

Not to come to the defense of the WT writers, but I'm pretty sure from what they wrote up there that they are talking about a lot of Asian medical practices, and also of the more modern New Age religious movements such as Reiki.
I don't think for an instant that the WT writers were talking about western "modern" medicine. I live in Pennsylvania, USA. Although lately, you'd think I was somewhere in Southern California. There is a lot of this New Age crap moving in to the area, a lot of Reiki, which some have described as highly controlling and a BS scam as well. If it's here, I'm fairly certain its in wealthy region like Warwick, NY. So honestly, I feel this is what WT writers were pinpointing.

Brother, from another mother? You fuggin' rock for going out like you did! Buying that pre-paid CELL and sending out those texts with video links was brilliant, freakin' brilliant! "Theocratic warfare" at it's very best.
I'm with you, see? We're the same, you and me, see? (Bonus points if you get what movie scene that line is from)
Fug those cult bastards!

Do todays Jw's care at all about Russell and the pyramid?
by olongapo joe injust wondering, as i will be visiting active jw family in ohio in a few weeks, do you think it will be worthwhile dropping it into a conversation, about the wtbts pyramid near his grave, or try some other topic to try and wake them up.
i was never baptized and don't really care if they get upset or not, but it is only a day trip from ohio to pittsburgh, and thought it would be fun if they denied it, and then drove their to see it for ourselves.
