My take: The videos are "releases". They count as spiritual food, council, and guidance, and released at the CUNTventions. So, they are the releases. Saves printing costs for sure, and further indoctrinates the brainwashed. Seems to me effort is being put on RETENTION of members, shoring up bank accounts, reducing overhead, and selling off non-profitable properties. Recruitment? GB doesn't really give a shit about that. The "literature carts" are proof of that. Busy work next to a cart in front of Wal*Mart? Not what I call active recruitment.

No new releases? How are the r&f taking this?
by purrpurr inis it true that there's been no new releases at this summer's convention?
if so it will be the first convention in decades perhaps ever to not produce at least a new tract.. how are the r&f explaining this to eachother?
surely they must have noticed the absence?

Screwed up sexually
by purrpurr ini was thinking about how the borg screws up and sexually neuters their flock by telling them when single to "deaden their body" and then boom as soon as there's a ring on the finger to not be denying eachother.. do any of you know of jws who have been screwed up by these teachings?
i know 2, 1 elder came back from honeymoon having a nervous breakdown unable to cope with the cd that sex produced in his head.
and the other called up her parents while on honeymoon, crying and begging for themto come and get her, since she was so shocked that sex hurt.

Think that shit is funny?
Hold me beer..........
I once read an experience from a visiting Artist who volunteered to help critique and guide the Art Dept in Bethel in the early 1980's. Guy was there for like 2 weeks or something. It was and incredible read. The most astonishing part? Reading about how Fred Franz (The Oracle of the WT, and President!) would roam about in a flannel shirt, shuffling between the buildings talking to his old brown shoes! Like he was holding a conversation with them!!! This was the EARLY 1980's mind you!! Also, this was the man responsible for the 1975 fiasco, Generation teaching, and much more! This guy shaped just about everything. But he was shuffling around talking to his old brown shoes. Of course, he had such rank, seniority, etc that no one dared to call out this absolutely crazy-ass behavior. He didn't step off the "Launch Pad" until 1992!!!!
Moses had the burning bush. Fred Franz had a pair of old brown shoes. So much for divine inspiration!

Wow........Congrats! The GB really do shoot themselves in the foot, don't they? Would love to hear how your son even viewed the ARC testimony.....who brought it to his attention, or if he saw it mentioned in recent news articles in the USA? Now, if he can just get the rest of his own family out.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Kicked Out Of Restaurant For Supporting Trump
by minimus ini think it’s ridiculous to kick people and families out of a restaurant because of politics.

So if a white Senator had done this when Obama was in office, they'd immediately be labeled a "racist", run out of office, protests, etc. But when a black woman does this against Trump, it's perfectly fine? Nothing to see here? Free speech? All libs are for it?
GTFOOH with that stupid hypocritical bullshit!!!

Fox Has a 3 Part Series on Hasidic Jews
by minimus inyesterday they started a three part series on hasidic jews living mostly in brooklyn and new jersey and how they take advantage of the system and at the same time rule with an iron hand for bidding the use of modern technology, smart phones, tv etc .
if you think the witnesses are bad, take a look at them.
they ostracize you and kick your children out of their schools and treat you as nonexistent !

I live in south-central Pennsylvania. The Amish and Old Order Mennonite have been like this since forever. Everyone thinks they're so nice and quaint. It's a total farce and BS. They are a total CULT, treat women as 2nd class citizens, work children as soon as they can walk, treat horse and other animals so inhumanely you'd think they're barbarians, only allow an 8th grade education, are total cheapskates, all the while demanding the very best and religious tax exemption, and use ex-communication and shunning as control mechanisms. Oh! And the sexual abuse in children is something like 7 out of 10. And I'm not even touching on the genetic deficiencies.

This is why in America, we push hard to keep our Constitutional Rights. Yes, even gun rights such as the 2nd Amendment. Even if it comes to another Civil War, we'll fight tooth and nail for them. I'd NEVER want to live in such an oppressive society. American is becoming so PC now that it's being seen as oppressive. If you aren't for coddling illegal immigrants, giving away the farm cause they want the free handout, you are automatically labeled a "Numpty", and/or a "racist". If you are Pro-American, you are labeled a Facist, or worse yet, a NAZI. All one has to do is look at what's happening in (some) parts of Europe to see that it isn't looking good over there. To see how their own social welfare programs and open borders are being used against them. I've heard that even KNIVES are now banned by the Muslim Mayor of London. Meanwhile, acid attacks and rape are UP. Gee, I wonder why? Big mystery. Everyone knows the answer, but is too shamed by political correctness to speak up. They are but beggars to their own demise, all due to their idiotic ideology, which is being used effectively against them.

He sounded nice and all, right up until you got to the part where he didn't even give you a head's up about your impending deletion. Here, you helped build this guy's HOME, and THAT is the courtesy he gave you? I'd have burnt the place down while they were at a meeting. No kids, yet lectures people about having them, not sending them to college, etc? What a WT stooge! I'd have "Noped" it right out of there after my "deletion." F*ck those ungrateful assholes!

Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump
by Wild_Thing ini have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.
i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.
he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

Why even bring this type of stuff to this forum? Why stir shit up? This is supposed to be a JW / ex-JW forum.
