  desperate or stupid - you decide

  by finally awake in

  just ron has received a couple of phone calls in the last few days from the rbc brother wanting him to come roof a kingdom hall.

  now, just ron hasn't been to a meeting since december 2011, and certainly hasn't got a current volunteer form on file.

  so i ask, are they desperate or just stupid?.

  A new lesson from Caleb's mom...

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  ...totally freak out and drop something if your child fails to say "please.".

  http://www.jw.org/en/bible-teachings/family/children/become-jehovahs-friend/videos/please-thank-you/.

  the woman is clearly a nervous wreck, and very easily offended.. if this is her reaction to caleb forgetting his manners, i shudder to think how she will cope if she ever finds him doing drugs.. .

  His mom shows the typical sudden, emotional, over-reaction that is NOT good for teaching, but used to shame one into submission.

  as the information age is apon us and it doesn't take that much information to easily prove this new light by the governing body granting them absolute loyalty and power is a blatant power grab by a bunch of over the hill ego maniacs i see a revolt in the making..

  very few will pay any attention to whats out there. do some cult research and you can understand why. its information control at its finest, or ugliest depending on how you look at it.

  Rumor: April 3, 2015 start of Great Tribulation?

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  on another forum, somebody mentioned that there is a growing belief with those high up in watchtower hierarchy that the great tribulation will begin april 3, 2015. evidently, one has to check the skycharts for that date and compare with 33 ceand also compare with the history of jws for past 40, 80, 120 years.

  dont ask me to verify the rumor...these things come and go.

  im sure lots of people in hq believe all sorts of things.. .

  Havent heard that one, and i still keep up with some CO's and bethelites who don't know I'm inactive. But, I'm sure at least one of them would have given me a heads up if they had heard it cause he loves to gossip.

  Many ex-JWs have never read Combating Cult Mind Control

  by Londo111 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the general public knows far too little about cults and mind control...and this is reflective of many ex-jws as well.

  when i meet up with former jws, either in person or on the phone, im surprised that the majority have never read combating cult mind control.

  of course, i am sure many former jws do not want to read yet another publication.

  Thanks for that update Robert, hopefully they get on it sooner than later. I can't imagine it is very difficult at all to make a readily available book also available on ebook, unless they are in a very bad contract with their publisher.

  MTS & Gilead: Can we talk about how much of a FAILURE these 2 schools were/are?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know quite a few from both of these schools who basically crashed and burned once they got into their assignments.

  graduates of these schools would be thrown into foreign territorities or remote areas without a good visible means of support and would get emotionally, mentally, financially burned out.

  post your experiences or of those you know that went to these pitiful excuses for educational institutions..

  I know many that never made it to their assignment. I knew one bethelite couple around 2003 that went to Gilead, but for some reason never finished. People around bethel gossiped and talked about them so much it bothered me. I mean, its a huge commitment to do what they are asking, I didn't see any shame in a reality check and changing your mind.

  I can only think of one MTS graduate that made it more than 2 years in his assignment, and from what I hear he is struggling quite a bit.

  When You Were A Witness Did You Tattle? Snoop?

  by OneStepOut93 in

  2. experiences

  were you one of the witnesses that tattled and tried to find people doing "wrong"?.

  or did you ever tattle on someone and regretted it later?

  would you take it back?.

  No, but I have gotten the phone call that someone else was "so sorry but i just had to tell them".

  On at least two occasions, I have been approached by a well meaning J-dub who told me to turn myself in for one thing or another. I would just go back to them a week or so later and tell them that I talked to the elders and they were very understanding and helpful and were going to work with me. Of course I had never talked to the elders, I was no dummy, but they always believed it and never brought it up again!

  I really like this book, especially as others have said that it does not even remotely mention JW's so its a little easier to get others to read. I just wish it was available in some sort of digital format, I have the physical book, but some who I would like to share it with would prefer the privacy of their kindle as opposed to a real book they would have to hide it.

  Couple other interesting DC tidbits...

  by goatshapeddemon in

  1) they're going to stop producing the wt publications index "because its hard to maintain and translate".

  so they're going to create a digital-only research tool on jw.org .

  it's like, how convenient and smart.

  I'd much more easily be guilted into going to a DC if they served chicken tenders and bud light. I'm just saying.

  The growth rate in countries with little to no internet access is highest, the growth rate where internet access is more common is most stagnant.
