the elders only have to fake it for cos visit, then the poor sheep get shorn for anther 6 months and just when publisher billy thinks the co will save their souls from these tyrants elders a new co comes onto the seen, and of course he is trained only to listen to the elders.
so the vicious cycle of religious rape continues until billy and his mates burnout..

tell me me more about your just & loving god..
pssssges?
had the misfortune of stopping by the "regional" convention yesterday.
i promised my daughter i would come to sunday afternoon so she wouldnt have to ride home with her mother.... holy crap it was weird!
im sure all of this has been covered on the forum but to actually see it.... just wow.
@ stuckinarut2:
LOL! You got me on that one!!!
what did you imagine jehovah to look like?
i always pictured him like this:.
.
I just pictured some dude with a beard.
for me, i think it was just the right time as i was starting to wake up on other fronts as well (anyone who had went through these will know what i mean).
but it started when i was looking for what info goes on a publisher card, which led to me reading one person's story (ex bethelite) which was pretty crazy to an all-in jw but who trusts those apostates...?.
then i started watching videos on cults, as if my subconscious was trying to tell my concord mind something... when i saw a particular one about a young man in lds getting ready to start their 2 year preaching campaign, including a school, social activities etc, i realized that i couldn't tell the difference between the folks of this mormon cult and the jws (save for some religious differences) .
I always had certain doubts and questions that I could never get satisfactory answers to. It wasn’t so much the actions of people as it was doctrine. Overlapping generations finally did it for me.
i posted this thread sometime last year but thought i would revive it due to the new ones on the board, and to change things up a bit.
my favorite?
bro murikami, from hawaii, very humble, kind bro.
Least favorite CO and DO: All
Most favorite CO and DO: None
why would watchtower sue stratton ohio, and then laud it over and over in their books?
the town doesn't even have 300 people, why would they pick on such a small town.
they are promoting it so much at this week's meeting.
I've been through Stratton several times on Route 7. It is situated along the Ohio River. The main feature of the village is the W. H. Sammis Power Plant. Part of it is built over the highway.
hello people,.
i was born in but long time faded.
i think i hold current jws to a higher standard than they now maintain.. here's the thing; my father is very old, in his nineties and been a jdub for over 60 years and even made it to elder till he got too old.on a recent visit my siblings and dad were saying how wonderful that veterans affairs were.
Is Germany paying their surviving WWII vets benefits? Just curious.
the scriptures say all will be resurrected, some to eternal life, others to judgment.
so i wondered what's going to happen to those who wore beards during mortality?
picture if charles taze russell was resurrected and came face to face with joseph rutherford, second president of twt (the whole tamale) and the instigator of the beardless policy.
CT Russell won't be resurrected. No one will. He will be under that pyramid in the North Hills of Pittsburgh forever.
a close friend of mine who is pimo (only staying in for family reasons) in a neighboring congregation called me in tears tonight saying her dad (elder) is telling her he is seriously considering reporting her to her local elders and she could get disfellowshipped.. the reason?
because she is complicit in a gross sin, according to him, by going with her best friend (not a j.w.
) when the friend had an abortion.
Since god was complicit when Adam sinned, shouldn't he be df'ed?
