justin bieber has beliebers.
benedict cumberbatch has cumberbitches.
surely the ego-stroking gb worshipping fans deserve a name.. gbsters?
The British Bee Gees were a very successful rock group in the 60's and 70's. They had a great hit in '77 called,
"Stayin' Alive"!
The American wtbts Gee Bees were also successful in the '60's and '70's. They had a 'not so great' hit called, "Stay alive till 75"!
"Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees is still a popular song.
"Stay alive till '75" by GB well, no one wants to listen to that old song anymore!
The Fan Name for GB fans could be "The He Be GB's"!
just sayin'!

After 60 years of being a dub and hearing the same stuff, repeating the same stuff and somehow knowing that it was bs, I started looking around to see if others felt the same way and why did they feel that way. I was willing to go it alone but it's nice to hear how others woke up and realized ttatt. What a sap I was! Damn

i was thinking about being "brought up in the truth" as opposed to joining.. as a child's brain develops, it builds connections based on what it is taught.
these connections are inseparable from the person in that our thoughts and memories actually become part of our personality (who we are).. a very simple example, might be being taught *not to do something* because it "displeases jehovah".
the understanding of right and wrong is then set in the child's mind and built upon.. there are several points of thought i have about this fact.

no jw is brought up in the truth. they are raised as a jw but not in the truth.

hello all... i currently studying the bible teach book and i'm just curious what information does the study conductor record about the student and is it passed on??
and they keep on saying "the truth" which is starting to get on my nerves.
lol.
"An investigation of Truth should do not harm, if it's not the Truth it should do harm."
Ask the jw who is conducting the "study" if you are free to investigate JW's and some of their past teachings. He or she will definitely record that little tidbit of info.

i'm looking for some clever comebacks.
i really don't care that i am an apostate, but would like to deliver a quick comeback or two to perhaps make the other person think.
any suggestions most welcome.
May I ask "How does the GB get 'new light'? If the 'new light' is different from previous teachings of the wtbts, then isn't the GB member who introduces the 'new light' an apostate?"

at least i have this forum.
is there a shorthand for referring to this website?
saying jehovahs-witness.com seems like a long winded way..
When I make my monthly appearance at the Sunday meeting (don't want to become irregular ya know lol) I usually have about 2 shots of vodka before we leave to numb my mind and remain calm during the indoctrination session. Wish I'd thought of that 50 years ago.

email sent to me from a friend in new york city..
brooklyn update january 10, 2015.
we have spent the last few weeks in training at the montgomery facility (near walkill) there are 6 couples that were trained to go on the road as ldc field representatives of the branch.
Sounds like a great BUSINESS model to me. FREE labor, discounted materials, 'loan' the money to the local to buy, the locals repay the 'loan' and the wtbts still owns the property. Brilliant! LCD or RBC makes no difference.

all you have to say is "who says jehovah is not using me right now?
" something to that effect.. if they say you are just a low-life nobody just point out amos nipper of figs.
and if they say "do you think you're a prophet?
I've not only had the good old "wait on jehober" told to me since my fade, but I used that very phrase many, many time to "encourage" others.
Now when the elders tell me I need to "wait on jehober" I ask them if that applies to all jw's or only the rank and file dubs. Of course the tell me it applies to ALL jw's so i then ask doesn't the gb "wait on jehober" to get the correct story--you know, the truth-- before they print bulls**t lies in the wt literature? The need to constantly have 'nu-lite' tells any reasoning person the the gb didn't "wait on jehober"!

do you get confused sometimes whether this site is a discussion forum or a debating forum ?.
just asking.
whats your thoughts.. smiddy.
Smiddy,
Do you get confused sometimes whether this site is a discussion forum or a debating forum ?
Really? Are you going soft on us? You have a lot of interesting, intelligent posts on this site so keep up the good work and don't worry about "debaters". Debate-discuss, What's the difference, it's just a word.
