  i need your help with this topic.

  i’m trying to find an elder’s letter or wt article that frown upon a good standing jw allowing an unmarried couple to stay over their house for the night.. my wife claims this is a conscience matter and i say that’s bs, this leadership does not allow it.

  would like to find this info..

  If an unmarries couple spent a night together "under improper circumstances" then JW elders would investigate and possibly form a tribunal for judicial discipline.

  Alone together overnight in the same bed, same room, same car, same tent would be "improper circumstances" according to WT.

  If you knowing allowed an unmarried/engaged couple (JW or not) to overnight in your home alone together in the same bed or in same room, even if you or other people are also present overnight elsewhere in the home, I have known that scenerio to draw investigative attention from JW elders... but only if it becomes known.

  If you need other WT references we can get them for you.

  Jesus prophesied Global ''heat waves''

  For example, Jesus prophesied that we would see “fearful sights,” or “strange and terrifying things.”

  This is exactly why WT deliberately plays on fear... WT wants JW minds in a constant state of suspended urgency...

  They really exploited fear with their "GB Updates" about covid/vax.

  But they've been fear-baiting since the first issue of the WT 1879.

  Fear Armageddon

  Fear God's Disapproval

  Fear Disfellowshipping

  Fear Loss of Privileges

  Fear Covid

  Fear being Unvax

  Fear Summer weather

  List goes on and on...

  Control by fear... it's part of the FOGS manipulation strategies, and it is effective.

  The bible is filled with it, which makes its easy for high-control groups to point at the words of Jesus or other verses as authoritative proof we should urgently stay on the watch, ever alert for “strange and terrifying things.” 2000 years of it.

  That is what charlatans do... and they will continue to do so because nobody/nothing is stopping them.

  WT leadership have presumptuously attempted to codify divine judgment of all humanity, alive & dead... they have therefore positioned themselves in the judgment role designated strictly for the Christ of scripture.

  The big bellies at WT desire to mediate between God & humanity.

  the worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

  i can live with that.

  Love-bomb them. They are conditioned to be drawn toward love-bombing.

  Sanderson’s “Young People” convention talk

  by FFGhost in

  2. beliefs

  so did anyone else have the misfortune of listening to sanderson’s talk corresponding to the saturday morning convention program?.

  full title is “young people - choose a path that leads to peace!”.

  the basic idea is, hey you teenagers, you ought to be pioneers, wt construction workers, and/or bethelites.. i tried to put myself back in time an embarrassing number of decades…if i were in this talk’s target audience, how would i respond?.

  Was that the same convention lecture to JW youth, where Mark Uriah Heep Sanderson revealed that the experience he just earlier related about a brilliant young man of a mere 18 years that righteously declined a university scholarship in order to become an ambitious 19 year old full-time partaker was none other than he himself... ?

  Can a Bank "legally" steal your $$   ??

  by Terry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when a bank fails, it is legal for that lending institution to perform a "bail-in" (rather than a bailout) for itself.. .

  the first sign or signal to the depositor is a red flag moment easy to recognize.

  the atm is "out of cash"..

  8 potbelly?

  Let's be fair... Let's check it out and gets the facts... Splane has somehow managed to maintain his slender snake-like figure.

  So, its more like "only" 7 actual potbellies...

  And we cannot yet prove that all 8 are confirmed drunks. But we do know as fact that all 8 tip back the watchtower wine at least once per year, and as a group have enabled at least one Sunday Funday Bottle King-Priest, thus rendering all 8 guilty by association.

  Therefore, rather than 8 potbelly drunks, the facts and simple math place them at approximately 7.5 potbelly unapologetic alcohol enabling snakes.
