A decade later I'm back

hello all,.

after many many years i decided to stop by and see what's going on in here..

LevelThePlayingField

After 10 years, you wouldn't believe all the changes. Just check out the posts, you'll see.

first of all my parents don't know that i no longer consider my self a jw of believe in the stuff they say (after 10+ years of dissociation it shouldn't be rocket science) and there is no way my dad would ever listen to me if i were to talk to him about tatt and all the contradictions and false prophecies.

however, he is always reading, and he spends a lot of time in the computer using the wt library (the cd one).

i was wondering, if there would be a way to maybe "hack" the program, maybe replace some wt books with copies of something like crisis of conscience.

I know this is not on the original thread, but I agree with Atlantis. There must be a lot of people who are no longer donating anymore. I think there maybe a lot of people who are either waking up on there own, are still in and active but don't donate because of the issue they have with the Society or they are just plain upset with some things and still believe and don't donate or just broke.

70 inch t.v.'s on stage

by dbq407 in

so the other night we had a resolution to purchase two 70 inch t.v.

's to hang on either side of the stage.

and also a smaller t.v.

LevelThePlayingField

dbp407 you make all valid points though. What's wrong with the projector in the first place. This whole JW.Org has gone from little to so big in such a little amount of time it seems that's all the GB is concentrating on. And I think two main reasons why is it costs pennies on the dollar and because this way all the indoctrination comes directly from them. That's why the slave is promoting everyone into getting these "electronic devices". If you go back to the late 1990's the internet was demonized.

Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

by Gorbatchov in

jw

the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

a strange correlation again.. gorby.

LevelThePlayingField

Gorby - OMG! LOL and my wife is sleeping in the other room and she doesn't know TTATT. If she wakes up and asks me what the hell I'm doing in here looking at this apostate website laughing at this rediculous caldendar that made me lose it, then she'll divorce me for sure. :)

Searching for those who "know" TTAT

by EyesOpenHeartBroken in

jw

does anybody have any tips for conversation starters to covertly feel out someone in the cong that you suspect is a "knower" about ttat?.

any success or experiences to share?.

LevelThePlayingField

As you can see from the answers so far given, there is no magic bullet. You just have to be careful. I would recommend talking to this person carefully and perhaps ask what they think about the new generation teaching. Although they may not agree with it, but they may tell you that they do out of fear, ask them then, "have you noticed that it seemed like in the past we could question things, but now for example, if we don't agree with the generation teaching we can't really question it?" And just see what he says. He may perk up a little. That may break the ice if he really know TTATT. If he's a little paranoid, he may just say yeah I noticed that, and that's it. But then you could continue on with, "well, if we have sincere questions about something, shouldn't we be allowed to question things? I mean we were allowed to questions things when we began to study the Bible right?" He may now open up even more and drop his guard because you are not attacking anything. Then you could say, "I just wish it was more like that. I sure enjoy talking to you. It's so easy talking to you." And then maybe the next time you could go to the next level and even just ask him if he's ever heard of TTATT and if he asks, "no, what's that?". Just say, "oh, no, it's just a new programming technique I read about for the playstation." or just make something up. Or you could say, "I said did you hear of that". Then he would say, "hear of what?" Then just have something in mind ahead of time, and you're all set!! Say, oh, that new movie about... or whatever. If he looks at you weird, don't worry. I'm sure he won't go home and Google tat, and certaintly won't Google ttatt. So we're safe.

Give that a whirl.

I emailed this to my financial advisor. He said that none of the names on the certificate show up in the SEC database. Does anybody know why that would be?

My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

by cofty in

10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.

12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.

15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

LevelThePlayingField

I personally think that if the WT ever changed its stance on blood transfusions it would use this line of reasoning and say that it was new light, I kid you not. :)

Liquidation sale of RBC assets

by Darkknight757 in

got this very interesting email last night and i thought i'd share it.. this is from the local rbc.. "in harmony with our new ldc form we have been asked by the branch to liquidate all current assets of used tools and materials once owned by the rbc.

you are invited to visit the equipment trailers to acquire items being liquidated by the rbc asset team, these items will be offered on a first come bases with voluntary donation.

if you see any item you like please be in position to take it with you at that time, after you return to your congregation then you will make a donation of cash or check in the congregation contribution box designated for the support of the worldwide work.

LevelThePlayingField

I just gotta say this. I'm just glad that I got this site because I get the inside scoop on things WAY before the JW's in the congregations do. What does the Bible say, it's shrewd for man to see the calamity and proceed to protect himself from it. I'm just grateful to all of you.
