This reminded me of years ago when a dub friend applied for a job. He actually included a newspaper article documenting the prevalence of employee theft, thinking that being a witness would give him an edge since everyone knows dubs never steal.

jws think they have the best of everything-----the best friends, the best workers, the best lovers, the best everything.

and what's your opinion on that?

How good can it be with the elders acting as referees to make sure that no rules are broken.

Why did you choose your avatar?

i have seen many threads about avatars, here is another one:.

i have had this avatar for some time on another board.

i was going to put a picture of myself in there, but decided against it, as i realized this picture has some symbolism to me.

Rather than hiding behind some symbolic caricature , I thought I would just be myself.

it has been difficult getting my old database to accept new info and then there was no way to edit the old thread so this is it on a new thread.

this is a follow up from the older: .

Wow. After following this thread I had to choose between posting a reply and dealing with a yellow jackets nest. I took the cowardly way out. Hopefully the insecticide does its job before they mature and become a danger. Now for my 2 cents worth.

I have never been an elder, Bethelite or pioneer. I also have only been to one committee meeting and ~~was dealt with mercifully~~ I dodged a bullet. If identifying former "spiritually mature" ones on this forum will, in the eyes of the wandering dubs, give this board added credibility, and help free them from the mind control of the world?s largest publishing company I think it?s the right thing to do.

If you are "reaching out?" a pathetic attempt to regain some kind of apostate board prominence don?t expect adulation from me.

Witnesses Are Always Made To Feel They're Not Doing Enough

one way the watchtower gets into people's heads is by making them feel that they're unworthy, not good enough, inferior.

" that is the chant of circuit overseers and elders all around the world.

nobody could keep up the pace that the watchtower has given its followers.

Isn?t this exactly the technique used by an abusive husband to keep his wife feeling worthless so he can more easily control her? The more downtrodden she is the harder she tries to gain favor. I couldn?t help but notice the similarity.
