"So, how many tracts did you place last month during the campaign???"
by stuckinarut2 inas we all know, the org now wants everyone to count the number of flimsy, one page tracts on every monthly report from now on.... so, what is the general buzz around the traps about how many the average witness is reported to have placed?.
(yes, it is a seriously stupid thing designed to keep the flock busy and also designed to measure their 'spirituality').
i need to fudge my report, and i havent got the foggiest clue what sort of numbers each witness has on average 'placed'......

Gustv Cintrn, I quite like that animated GIF you originally intended to use. It's a pity that others don't share our taste. They're probably just jealous that they can't move like the SATCAT.

AMATEURS using BAD METHODS: what possible expertise does the GB possess?
by Terry inlet's start with a very basic common sense question.. if you needed surgery would you go to a graduate of medical school who had been practicing for awhile,.
or would you go to an amateur who told you god would be telling him how to peform surgery?.
don't laugh.. it is a serious question!.

"what possible expertise does the GB possess?"
They are experts at deceiving the biblically ignorant with fallacious reasoning, misapplied scriptures, twisted scripture interpretations and psychological manipulation.
They prey on people who are biblically illiterate. Ever notice how the majority of JW converts formerly belonged to churches that had weak bible study programs? You rarely find JWs converting from churches that study the bible deeply.
When you're biblically ignorant its easy for Watchtower spin scriptures and deceive you. This can be seen in how JWs always find particular Watchtower teachings so logical and so biblical ... yet those very same teachings are later discarded or "corrected" with a new understanding supported by new logic and new scriptures. How is it that the JWs couldn't see the teaching was wrong all along? This proves that JWs are easily deceived by Watchtower.

"Please tell me what the bright side is.."
You just turned twenty this year, which means you're learning TTATT (The Truth About The Truth) at a young age while you still have your whole life ahead of you. Consider yourself fortunate compared with some who learned TTATT late in life after having wasted their prime years - most of their life - slaving for Watchtower, passing up education and employment opportunities for Watchtower, etc.
" My life is ruined. oh my god I want to cry."
No. On the contrary, your life has been saved from the enslaving clutches of Watchtower.

I hear it but I can't believe it
by Sour Grapes inmy elder friend told me that his kh is in need of upgrading their electronic system so that they can be ready for the big zone meeting in november and they need the flat screen televisions mounted to also enjoy all future special meetings put on by the branch.
the branch has given them the exact specifications and he mentioned the branch wants to use apple products.
they passed a resolution for a one time donation by the publishers to pay for the $6,000.00 system.

" he mentioned the Branch wants to use Apple products."
On an earlier thread some months ago I mentioned my suspicion that Watchtower is in bed with one of the tablet manufacturers.

Wow! The more I listen to him the more I see the hospital behaving like Watchtower: "Don't go on the internet, you're at a hospital listen to us". See 8:27-8:34. LOL

Wait! From 4:00 to 4:42 he says it's cruel that the doctor would prevent him having access to his son if he asks questions that contradict the doctor's suggestions or calls the doctor's approach into question? LOL. I wonder how he feels about the GB preventing "apostates" from having access to their JW family because they ask questions that contradict the GB's teachings or call the GB's approach to interpreting the bible, into question. You just got to love the irony. LOL.

Wow! What would James say? I know:
" My brothers, you are not holding to the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ while showing favoritism, are you? For if a gujurati brother comes into your eating area, but a non-gujurati brother also enters, do you look with favor on the gujurati brother and say, “You take this seat here in a fine place, at the table near the window” and do you say to the non-gujurati brother, “You go over there in the middle” or, “This fine seat if reserved for gujurati brother only”? If so, do you not have ethnic segregation among yourselves, and have you not become judges rendering wicked decisions?"

Sparks, how old are you? Was that a serious post, or was it just satire? Because your post is filled with many flawed assumptions and flawed premises that many on here have already discarded for the rubbish that they are. Your post reveals that you are completely ignorant of the intelligence of the people on this forum. You are also completely ignorant of your ignorance! I find it hard to believe you've been a member of this forum for so long and you post such an OP filled with weak, long-debunked false premises. You are completely out of your league on here and seem completely oblivious to this fact. This is why I suspect that this is just a piece of clever satire. It can't be real. No one can be a member of this forum for so long and be such a naive and clueless JW apologist as revealed by the contents of the OP.
