@ pale.emporer:

I didn't say for you to tell them you are leaving. No. I said that you should tell them, "NO" when asked and/or pressured into anything you don't want to discuss or do. Big difference. If they see non-compliance as "apostate", then they really are bat-shit crazy. You are an adult. Being an adult means more than answering and cowering to your parents. Guess what? You need to stand up for yourself and start saying, "No", with no explanation required except that you are saying "No", and that THEY need to respect your decision. Any further inquiries are NONE of their damned business! JW's are the nosiest MF'ers I've ever seen. I was born into this as well, so I know exactly where you are coming from. You need to teach them to respect your boundaries. Currently, you have none, and they know it. Put boundaries up, then re-enforce them not only thru actions, but thru the word "NO."

Anybody remember those brothers that would harass, and hound the elders into making them, finally, appoint him as an elder himself?

by Dunedain in

lol, for some reason, i was thinking back to all the many "characters" that were often so prevalent in kingdom halls back in the day.

they are, i am sure, still there now, but fortunately i haven't been in a kh for like 20 years.. anyway, i remembered this one brother, who was dying to be made an elder.

he could not believe he wasn't an elder yet, after sooo many years.

WingCommander

This guy was obviously a dumbass. He would have been made an Elder in less than 2 years if he had been donating (by cheque with his name on it) in the contribution box, and giving out enough green handshakes come the CO's visit. I've seen some real low-life posuers become Elders super-fast using this very method. No Holy Spirit required, just green handshakes and all "who you knew".

Just say NO! And STOP giving talks, period.

JW's: The only Organization that requires you to ask "permission" to step down from "voluntary", non-paid positions and responsibilities. Ummmm...NO! You owe these people NOTHING! Zilch. Zero. Stop doing them, and if pressured by these clowns, ask them who they think they are to be interrogating you?

Tell them nothing, or else to F' off. They'll soon get the hint. What are they gonna do, DF you for not giving a damn? Grow a pair and be a man and put these clowns in their place.

That is all.

Former DO comments on Overlapping Generations

by James Jack in

brother richard (dick) morlan, a former co & do for many years, now lives in gadsden alabama, usa.

he is 77 years old.

i saw him at a recent assembly in dekalb county alabama and ask him about the prospects of him dying in this "system of things".. his reply was, "i am going to make it till armageddon, but if i should die before then, then the governing body is going to have to add another overlapping generation to another overlapping generations"!.

WingCommander

I remember so many beloved JW's of old while I was a child growing up in the 80's. They all basically said the same thing, that The End just HAS to come before they die. They were sure. Positive. It was imminent, because the WT Society said so. Guess what? They're all DEAD. ALL of them. My grandparents and parents too. They live now, only my memories.

Lame and werid sample presentations at the meeting

by purrpurr in

jw
friends

they used to let bro's and sis's do the sample presentation and give them the leeway to put it in their own words thereby making it more natural.

not so anymore!

these days the sample presentations are beamed from mother website.. they seem to have been written by someone who has no experience of how people talk in real life.

WingCommander

Can we see these presentations? Has anyone uploaded them on Youtube? If someone could post a link, that would be great (and comical) - Thanks!

WT Resurrection Hope Absolutely Ridiculous As Illustrated In Their Publications

by JW_Rogue in

saw this while browsing through the good news brochure:.

is it any wonder people aren't listening to jws anymore?

what an absolutely delusional scene!

WingCommander

For some reason, this young "Sailor" reminds me more of young Joseph Smith, AKA: The founder of Mormonism.

by ILoveTTATT2 in

jw
friends

apparently it's true!!

omg!!.

i did not want to believe these news, i still feel it's a hoax, it can't be true!.

WingCommander

The GB's answer (like in the past): Just bribe more Mexican officials to look the other way. Theocratic Warfare and all.

Last Night I was surrounded by Jehovah's Witnesses . . .

by Terry in

last night was the "body viewing" at the funeral home for the jw whose friendship and influence resulted in my getting baptised in 1963. we weren't just friends.

we had a david & jonathan bromance :) no seriously, we loved each other dearly.. it's only in the last 2 years he shunned me.

before that, he would sneak behind the curtain of stealth, so to speak, and we'd sit for hours each and every week chatting, reminiscing and sometimes arguing about the truth about the "truth.".

WingCommander

Those same people that gave you such "warm fuzzies" at the funeral, if you saw them again next week would shun you like you are a rapid apostate dog. They are in a cult, plain and simple.

Breaking news - from reliable insider source - GB member Sanderson to wed

by sir82 in

jw
friends

not only that, but apparently it is to a transgender female.. new light wt article regarding "born that way" transgenders as a "conscience matter" to be released in the august 15 wt.. more details here..

WingCommander

Sanderson would have to desire intimacy with another human being before he could be wed. This would mean he'd have to break it off with his hand, or possibly TOMO III's hand. So sad.
