  Troll alert. Our resident narcissistic CurrentBrother is back, resurrecting an old OP that sucked as much 2 months ago as it does today. Not getting enough attention there, CB?

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  I think you all already know how I feel about it. Vomiting inducing (ctrwtf). I stopped using it immediately after leaving the hate filled cult in the 90s. I'm at a loss to understand why so many continue to use it. The DarkLords developed their own special language, which is what all cults do, in large part to control and program the rank and file.

  I find it difficult to believe that anyone continuing to use phrases such as the truth, "the truth" (What the fukk is up with that? Does posting it as a quotation make it better somehow?), or even ttatt has truly left the DarkTower. And there is a second problem; those using these phrases reinforce others to continue to believe, even if it is on a subconscious level, that the DarkLords may actually be onto something.

  I doubt that those using such phrases have truly disengaged their minds and emotions from the End of Times Armageddon nonsense and world events as they occur.

  Come on in, hangers on, the water's fine (Oh Brother Where Art Thou). Let it Go (Frozen). Turn it off (Book of Mormon).

  Either that or their brain cells aren't fully functioning. But there is a lot of that on this site.

  Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.

  by The Rebel in

  so i was fooled by the witnesses.

  what can i learn from that?

  not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

  tepid,

  With a caveat. If one side of the argument has no specific education, no in depth knowledge and no real experience on an issue then, unless they are citing those who do have such, they should be viewed with suspicion if not ignored.

  That's what the Vanity Fair article above points out, and it is what I stress each time the CT whackadoodles start with their nonsense.

  The world wide web, with CT sites that have spread like the infection they are, has contributed to the CT mindset and the spread of this sometimes deadly and always de-evolving disease.

  Having been a college professor, it rankles me more than a bit to have uneducated dumbasses taking an entrenched stand or an issue for which they know nothing and are too lazy to obtain actual empirical data.

  They seek to level or minimize the giants whose shoes they aren't fit to tie - men and women with advanced degrees (you idiots have ANY idea what it takes to get a Master's degree or a PhD???), decades of experience in a specific field and the ethics of Ghandi.

  And all these dimwits have is a mouse and their mama's Internet account.

  I find that disgusting. Vomit inducing disgusting.

  Thanks for bumping Coded. The past 2 years are the warmest on record, and ice at both poles is at historic lows.

  All of the leaders of the major countries believe it is occurring, except for The Donald.

  I wonder if the deniers are also experts in other scientific fields other than climatology. Do you think they would tell the nuclear physicists, blast engineers, forensic experts and neurosurgeons they were wrong?

  You know it's time to give up the JW religion when your route call tells you to

  by jambon1 in

  lasting memory of the latter period of time in the organisation:.

  i had a route call with the magazines whom i'd called on for a number of years.

  eventually when i become a parent i became consumed with negativity, doubt (blood issue) & depression.

  2 elders just came to my door. I smiled and told them no.

  by schnell in

  not playing their game, as i've learned here.

  they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.

  i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

  That elder shouts: "Are you saying that the WTS is not God's organization." Heaven suggests what they are after, which is:

  Anyone else hear of this?

  by Tahoe in

  a jw family member informed me they are filling out an application to preach the truth in israel.

  interested ones in the congregation were asked to start saving now, as the cost of the flights would be their own responsibility.

  the time frame for this preaching work is for a couple of weeks in may/june 2017. the applications are to be turned in this sunday.

  I'm confused. If they are trying to preach the truth in Israel, isn't that a good thing?

  Great Tribulation and Trump

  by TakeOffTheCrown in

  2. beliefs

  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  James Brown,

  The majority of voting people didn't even vote for Trump. That would be Hillary. Head in a fog?

  The one oclock meeting

  by Steel in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i go to a hall (very rarely) with a single cong of about 60 people in a small city of maybe 10000. our board of elders is a bunch of childless weirdos or at least the ones that make an effort.. they recently changed the sunday meeting time from 10/12 to 1/ 3. a number of us are pissed off.

  its makes to hard to drive to the city or go to a football game.. i just know the gestopo elders behind the change.

  if your life isnt as miserable or pointless as theirs, they arent doing their job.

  Be true to your screen name, Steel. Or is that name just to compensate for a lack thereof?

  Change the channel.
