Say a brother is DA'd or DF'd for a valid or invalid reason. Now all the other JW friends of this person now suddenly are not friends to this person because of the announcement from the platform yet those mutual friends have done nothing in their friendship to each other at all to meet any type of conditions that would warrant an end to that friendship. THAT is where the JW conditional friendship does not make any sense.

We talk a lot about conditional friends on here
by cappytan inso, when people post about being shunned by their friends, i've heard several posters say things like, "their friendship is conditional.
real friendships aren't conditional.".
i'm sorry, but that just isn't really true.. if you and i were friends, there are conditions.

EPIC!#%* NOVEMBER 2015 WT VIDEO "Welcome Home My Friend, Now Your Life Can Start Again"
by NoMoreHustle inwell i just watched this "epic" video, i would have to say this is probably the most disturbing video yet.
there campaign to get people back is just pathetic in the most mind-manipulating way.
"welcome home" or "come back home" are they serious?

It goes back to how religion plays a major and general role for people in their lives. It provides COMFORT. And emotion is involved in that. So the society has been playing their trump card heavily lately with their music videos to play upon peoples need for comfort. It goes with the territory. -

Special Pioneer Sister-in-Law and Husband just got their letter.
by cappytan inwell, my sister-in-law and her husband, special pioneers for only a couple of years, just got their letter.. her comment was along the lines of, "they're having to do this because they forgave all those kingdom hall loans a few years ago and the brothers aren't donating anymore.".
when my wife told me, i laughed so hard i farted.
;).

cognac - you said - Shouldn't Jehovah be providing???
You are right. Not that we need any more proof, but this is just another proof that Jah is NOT behind them, because he isn't providing.

Being interviewed by police tomorrow
by moley inwell tomorrow is a big day for me.
i'm finally going to be interviewed by the police about what happened to me as a kid.. im running the whole gamut of emotions at the moment.
sad, anxious, angry, guilt, fear and many more that cannot be quantified.. i feel physically sick, cannot sleep, have lost my appetite and i am desperately trying not to self harm.. i've got my sister to thank for getting this far.

In the interest of all the news of Borg recently I was thinking. John really makes a good point. Sometimes we really try to wake people up. The org is broke and even the rank and file can see it. Even JW Broadcasting had it posted recently with their "announcement" - even though it had some spin, I think most jdubs can see through it. My wife saw it and she's hard core and she saw through it.
I think people maybe at this point waking up more on their own, more than by us. It's like not having to paddle in a boat cause the stream is taking you there. The borg is taking them there now. All the Bethel layoffs, downsizing, mags half there size, no more DO's come on, we've all heard this, ya'll know.

I thought this was really the saddest point ever made in the WT ever. Here you have a brother in the picture with the cane supporting himself up while praying his heart out (bless his ole heart-I'm serious on this point too) and all the WT can do is say, "kick him to the curb, he's too old now!" Heartless bastards! -

Finding homes for the former 'bethelites' and 'special pioneers'
by Esse quam videri insince the liberal government has been elected in canada, it seems that people are looking to the future with a little more optimism and hope.
it is only human nature that with change, we would think that the change would be for the better.
the courts have ruled, in canada, that it is unconstitutional to deny the homeless the right to sleep in parks.

Let them do their own dishes for once. Smell their own body odor for once and get introduced to someone who doesn't give a flip about who they are for once. Yeah, that otta bring a little of true humility once to them.
