Back in the horrid old days, when I used to come back from the meetings, I'd strip all my clothes off, grab some wine or a few shots of vodka and proceed to watch demonic tv shows.

Phone call from a brother last night
by label licker inthe brother and his wife thought the statement at the end of this month's broad cast show was a little off.
the org stated that jehovah's organisation can not be corrupted.
(needless to say only three had shown up for the broadcast meeting at the hall) he's never heard that before so we filled him in as to what the org has been up to and gave him jwnet, jw facts as well as jw survey to look at.

Compliment or criticism - what affects you most?
by EdenOne ina bit of introspection on this one ... just read on someone's post that a compliment makes him "float" for hours, and it got me thinking; within the spectrum of comments that people make about me, from compliment to criticism, which is the type that most affects me?.
after my experience as a jehovah's witness, i find that i've become suspicious of compliments and over-sensitive to criticism.
because a common technique of elders was to compliment someone before going down to business, that is, giving hard counseling or discipline.

Personally, whenever someone compliments me, I feel like they are lying. Mainly because I've been given so many fake compliments. However, criticism is fine, I can deal with it and I rather someone criticizes me and tells me the truth rather than lie to me via a false compliment. -

$64,000 Questions for "Obedient" Witnesses
by The Searcher in"if you heard a judge tell a jury not to listen to a single word the accused had to say, what would your reaction be?
" .
"why are you forbidden by the org from hearing a dis-fellowshipped person's side of things?
-

Garrett
Great question as always, Searcher. To any witnesses viewing this, I say "use the logical thinking that you were born with, not what men told you to think."

Oppressive wolves will enter the flock....
by stuckinarut2 inok, so i politely let an elder in our cong know how i felt about the gossip and slander that has been levelled at me.. he has been pushing to find out how i feel about the events of the last few months.. i calmly replied: .
"well, i know that it was foretold that oppressive wolves would enter the flock and treat many harshly.
i stood up to such harshness against many in our cong, then i was turned on and had accusations levelled against me!

Good evening, guys,
So, I just found a song that I really enjoyed and thought I'd share it with you. I know that most of you probably don't have the same taste in music as I do, but I hope you enjoy the song nonetheless.
Song: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KrtcxBHqskk
in addition to that, I wanted to thank you all for your comments on my 1975 prediction post. I am still waiting for the elder to contact me but I now have a clear understanding of what's going to be said and how to respond.
Peace, love and have a wonderful weekend,

1975 failed prediction?
by Garrett inheyo,.
your favorite garrett here.
so, i'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine.

heyo,
your favorite garrett here. So, I'm about to have an elder tell me allll about the failed 1975 doctrine. Some points I brought up:
since jehovahs spirit is perfect and so is its direction, how could jehovahs organization as a whole make a false prediction about the end times?
If you answer imperfect men, the. What stops the other religions from using the same excuses? What makes us different? What stops the org from making the same mistake in the future? How do we know that our teachings aren't mistakes that could be changed?
what should I expect? I was talking to this sister and she said she was going to ask an elder since she herself seems quite unsure about the subject. She even said that perhaps jehovah removed his soirit from the, and that's why they made the prediction.
hopefully this works!
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend!

Good morning everyone,
I have a friend who lives in New Zealand, and because of not wanting to be identified she has asked me to post this on her behalf. She is just wanting clarification from people who live in the local area of something she heard. In the Thames congregation which is located in the Coromandel of New Zealand (those who live there will know where it is), there were 7-8 who in the last couple of weeks were DF for apostasy. Apparently one of the casualties was a person who has the initials A.M. Can anyone confirm or deny this or perhaps knows any more details. She has only heard it as a rumour.
thanks,
Garrett
