The guy or guys who are writing this stuff are clearly some brainwashed/indoctrinated sick fucks that need a serious ass wuppin.

To encourage this type of loyalty to corporation directives seems totally evil on the part of those who were responsible for writing this utter sicko bull shit. They need some serious psychological help because they are definitely on the road to perdition.

I'm sure the GB rule with an iron fist at Bethel with no one allowed to complain,, only allowing up building conversations about what the Corporation and it leaders are doing. Another word the place is a living hell full a brain dead obedient ass holes that can't complain and only speak praise of the ruling minority,, god fearing humble obedient ass holes that will eat shit,,, if the GB tells them to.

God I hope the GB see their day in court where this shit can be used to lock them up and throw away the fucking key.

So basically excepting unquestionably every decision that the Watchtower corporation secret kangaroo court system makes even if it wrong, is a sign of humility and godly fear. How self serving!

Are these guys fucking crazy or what?(writing department lacks scruples) Paradise with eternal life doesn't seem that appealing if more of the same type of injustices will prevail with an always wait on Jehovah and do nothing posture about anything the ruling class does.

This Corporation is run by totalitarian despots who want their subjects to be uncomplainingly obedient or else face a DF'n for complaints or non compliance.

Can the cult really fold ?

by Chook in

i had the shocking thought that wt may never die due to its free labor realestate building empire.

an the lawyers drain the swamp quicker than the new building program..

Brokeback Watchtower

It could fold but no doubt it will continue on a serious decline into oblivion which may take several decades till it vanishes into complete obscurity.

Hearing voices, not always caused by demons.

my wife and i for the past three months have been caring for a teenage girl who was abused by her parents.

she stole a car to get away, and living in prison was a welcome relief for her.

she was in prison for four years, and the state was going to release her, but she would not go back home.. a co-worker teacher that my wife knows told us the situation, and we agreed o help the girl get back on her feet.. well, she dealt with abuse from all aspects 😔, and is pretty messed up in the head from all of that.. but by being in our home, she was safe and was learning how to deal with her problems.

I kind of see it in a Jungian perspective, as proddings from unconscious, due to the sever abuse a trained psychologist is needed.

Watchtower corporation has a very bad record of heap more abuse on the sufferer to appease their jealous Jehovah and their infantile view of the world.

Hotel California

by Normalfulla in

growing up was ok being a jw or so i thought, i guess u accept life as it comes when yr a kid , anyhow i played guitar and my elder dad (who is currently df) would forbid me to learn hotel california or even if it came on the radio he would run and quickly turn it off , .

he explained he had heard a tape recording at work that explained that this song along with stairway to heaven and others had back masking on it and when played backwards would say stuff like "satan has his own congregation " or other stuff like that , now this was not a jw sanctioned audio talk just some other christian production .. none of dad's other peers felt the same and growing up it illustrated to me dad's propensity to be influenced and convinced about something seemingly innocuous to others.. fast forward to a year or so ago and i showed him a section from the eagles documentary where don henley talks about the meaning of hotel california and how much trouble christian evangelists gave the song due to their own interpretation etc , so completely refuted the claims my father had told me were fact as a kid ,from the horses mouth so to speak .

his answer was ,"well of course he'd say that he wants to save face ,he wouldn't admit the truth !".

JWs have been programed to think in a very black and white manner which basically gives them only 2 options, so that while you can understand things with many more options/sides he is left with only 2 and so has extreme tunnel vision.

It is plainly in front of you, but invisible to him. The WT took away his mind to use him for slave labor and forced servitude.

Who is benefiting from Watchtower Corporation financially

by John Davis in

who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.

i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.

so who do you think is keeping all of this money.

Brokeback Watchtower

I think there could possibly be some or all GB members along with various corporation presidents and maybe some branch servants especially London that might be salting away some buck$$$ and what not kinda like a golden parachute for when they go belly up.

Do you think the general public cares about former Jehovah's witnesses?

i was wondering if you guys think if the general public cares about our stories or if they even care what the watchtower does to people??

I can imagine a massive sell offs of properties around the world and the legal battles the might face for taking money out of a country. I think in the USA we should be seeing some legal battles as sell offs pick up the pace, I'm contributions continue to nose dive even with a forced pledge written on a piece of paper a year or more ago. People especially younger internet fluent people are leaving in droves and so all you see is old people that don't have much else left to do in life are the only ones attending. They are becoming less and less significant and so the cart bull shit trying to give them a public presents a miserable failure and the carts remain unmanned for the most part by some publisher trying to get he mandatory time in while not being too noticeable by the general public.

Menlo Park here in Cali had some unwanted publicity from the removal of elders unwilling to comply with orders to sell their meeting place by WT corp. Maybe even some fraud charges and books being audited because of complaints by informers or members in the near future as they get pushed just a little too far by this greedy corporation.

Now something like that would all of a sudden cause a lot of media attention, portraying them as evil, unloving, and money grabbing despots that rule with an iron fist over their duped members.

William Malenfant's appalling hate speech - latest morning worship video

by doubtfull1799 in

so he tries to prove that we are living in the last days without any evidence, but instead a series of unsubstantiated assertions ("never has there been a time with so much lack love and affection").

and uses things that are not even part of the so-called "sign" (abortions, pollution).

then proceeds to ridicule the "ridiculers," stereotype them, and declare they are only fit for destruction!.

“Tree of good and bad” means what?

by venus in

if “tree of good and bad” were literal, it would mean adam and eve would know what is “good and bad” only after eating of that tree.

however, even before eating of it, they would think “it is good for us to eat of this tree” which means they are already endowed knowledge of “good and bad.” that means “tree of good and bad” is symbolic of something.. since religious organizations interpret this differently, each reader has to adopt his own conclusion.

for me it looks like this: one thinks of good and bad in relation to himself—if something is beneficial for him he would say it is good for him, and bad for him if it is not beneficial.

Brokeback Watchtower

When I stopped interpreting things and happenings as good and bad but started as seeing them as flow of events which are totally neutral, it keeps my happiness in tact.

That's a pretty nice state to be in that would require some serious brain reconfiguration and a serious dampening of the Default Mode Network, and losing one sense of self blissful indeed.

That doesn't mean that GREAT EVIL has not occurred within JW congregation - I know that it has. But as XJWs we just don't have the numbers to garner great attention.

True enough but if a Jonestown or Waco Tx, type of thing happened then that would make the news and the org would be toast. Just saying a what if scenario or something comparable.
