says it all really.
total hypocrisy once again..
The last time, 2014, I toured Wallkill, the tour guide sister pointed out to all a glass encased shrine containing the used bibles of CT Russell and JF Rutherfart. But of course we adulate them as celebs, or do we?
Was in Kiev international convention in 1992 at the old soccer stadium. At the convention conclusion a couple of the gb members circled the track waving their hankies to the crowd as everyone stood and applauded--but we don't adulate them as celebs---or do we?

the wts is to be commended on their timely and prompt response to the jw ban in russia.
the august wt has an article that features the sivulsky family from russia.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-study-august-2017/endurance-under-trial/.
pavel sivulsky' son, yaroslav, is getting a lot of air time lately.
Yes we can see how jehober is blessing the endurance of "his people" in Russia. It's becoming more and more obvious that jehober loves white, English speaking (especially American) jw's more that others!
'Praise jah all you people!'

they offered themselves willingly—in new yorkricky, a construction project manager in hawaii, was invited to serve as a commuter bethelite to assist with the warwick project.
his wife, kendra, wanted him to accept the invitation.
however, they had a legitimate concern: the welfare of their 11-year-old son, jacob.
Yet another wonderful example of jehober "protecting" his loyal ones. 'Praise jah all you people'

i'm looking for something in publications that specifically says jehovah is diciplineing his organization.
.
Interesting that the wt teaches that jehober doesn't necessarily protect individuals (he protects his organization as a whole from satan) but he definitely disciplines individuals!
O what a loving god we have! Praise jah all you people!

Bureaucracy at it best. Busy work except no real KH's being built! Maybe the building work is 'invisible'!

i read on another thread how this site has helped another user and that for them it has been a form of therapy.. for me yes, jwn has most certainly been a form of therapy.. i recall the days i first came to jwn (in 2004) and couldn't believe i had found people who were of the same opinion as myself in regards to the society.
it was this site that led me to reading ray franz's book 'crisis of conscience' which i read twice within a week.
it also led me to jw facts that goes into every nook and cranny regarding the society's teachings, policies and history.. note: i also visit many other sites and watch you tube videos a lot, but gravitate here most of the time.. coming here to express my inner most thoughts and feelings has helped me no end and allows me to overcome my frustrations.
I have to agree with all the commentators so far. Without a doubt, this site has become my "go to" site for the latest and greatest shit from the wtbts. I was and elder (big deal--I know) for decades. I was basically a born-in since my mom started us in the jw religion when I was only 4 yo. I spent the late 60's, 70's, 80's, and most of the 90's being a 'golden boy' for the wt. It's a real f**king shock to the system when one discovers that one has been duped for nearly 60 years. The mental and emotional upheaval of that realization put me in the hospital for a month followed by months of therapy! I'm feeling fantastic now! I now own a life worth living. No more FOG. The shackles are off. The freedom to think and say what I really believe is beyond liberating!
I thank the many here that have reaffirmed my confidence in humankind. I thank the many here that helped me to remain patient in my, so far, successful fade. (Unfortunately, my wife and several of my children still remain captive to the wtbts, but I'm working on that with some success.) I thank the many here for their fantastic research in an effort to reveal ttatt. I thank Simon for his labor, a genuine labor of love for truth! I also thank those who disagree with the value of this site because your contributions demonstrate that it's okay to have your OWN ideas about things even if I think they're ridiculous.

i know this has been discussed many times, but i was watching a news story about female genital mutilation (not female circumcision) and segued mentally into why the hassle about male babies having to be circumcised, christians especially.
even the wts flipflops on this...... if adam, the first perfect man, not under the jewish law code, was given a foreskin by god as an aspect of his physical perfection, why then do so many "christian" people have their boy babies circumcised?.
if a health issue....why did god create the perfect man, adam, with a foreskin?.
My question is: why would Saul tell (that little f**king weasel) David that 100 foreskins was the price for his daughter? Everyone has to know that David did not circumcise 100 or 200 men. he slew them and cut of their male member! God's "chosen people" were a bunch of sick bastards and sexual perverts! Praise jah all you people!

so jah can build a broadcasting studio in record time, provide a cool summer so the new bibles can be printed on time without the presses overheating, but cant deliver his people in russia?!.
if jehovah is going to allow it what good are millions of letters and prayers then?
1) jehober didn't hear millions of prayers or
2) jehober wants jw's to be 'persecuted' in Russia, or
3) jehober just don't like Russian people, or
4) shit happens and there aint no jehober!

i was wondering what the view jehovah witnesses and the bible and tract society had on medical cannabis?
i remember as a kid reading in the reasoning book that marijuana was bad and smoking it caused cancer and was worse then cigarettes.
as more reach comes out we are leaning marijuana can cure certain forms of cancer!
The medical benefits of marijuana are well know today. It can help people live a better life in many cases. But, as with the incredibly stupid blood prohibition of the incurably ignorant borg, jw's will be prohibited from it's beneficial use due to archaic thinking.
But as with blood, I do believe that jw's can accept marijuana fractions! So if the current medical benefits "overlap" the old 'getting high' benefits, it's a matter of conscience! Or something like that.

this was the first memorial that i declined to do any work for the memorial.
i was assigned as a parking attendant after getting downgraded from doing the sound and had no intention of doing either task but i had to attend for my family and continuation of my fade.
i sat there last night listening to the talk and couldn't help but shake my head as my brain attempted to process the bs.
The thing that was really different for me about the last 3 or 4 memorials is, I didn't really give a sh*t if I was there or not. I go only for my wife. It was just 5 years ago that I gave the Memorial talk to some 350 in attendance at our local high school. I have to admit that I deviated greatly from the wt outline because it was so friggin' boring. I resigned as an elder shortly thereafter. Thank you Jesus!
