We thought the WT was bad.
Males were accusing strangers of stealing their manhood by bumping against them.
Folks were killed because of this..
Check out "Nigerian Genitalia vanishing epidemic of 1990. Women were walking around holding their breast,
men were walking around holding themselves.WTH. A stranger would bump them and their genitalia
would disappear...
I don't know why but this make me think of the WT.
If you are wondering why I posted this topic, I was searching Mass delusion on deegee topic "WT's
Paradise Earth doctrine a delusion".LOL
i am curious if my observations are correct.
i noticed alot of exjws end up majoring in the social sciences.
i am also interested in what educational choices people have made either while fading or while completely out.
so i have been watching the arc videos on youtube with geoffrey jackass, er i mean, jackson and a couple of very powerful things struck me.. forgive me if these have been covered before but...did anyone else notice he says several times that the gb are the "guardians of doctrine?
" haha g.o.d.
do we really have any further need for witnesses!?
Are they stupid or what. From the "All Scripture Is Inspired of God and Beneficial" on
page 9 under Line of Communication, "God's holy spirit is used as the medium of communication, carries it earthward; God's prophet on earth(and who is this prophet) receives the message and then
publishes it for the benefit of God's people.
Jehovah at times chose to use spirit messengers, or angels to carry some communications from heavens to his servants on the earth.
So who in the hell are receiving these messages? Or who in the hell believe they are the only ones communicating
with GOD? It does sound dumb to admit, God only speak to me....
thought it might be an interesting exercise to read the variety of questions people might ask.
this is a legitimate question.
did any of us ever find real joy in being at the meetings?
did any of us ever finish a meeting and think "i feel so enriched"?
How about film presentation, anyone see any for the Sunday meeting? I gave one in the 70's but
was told it's not appropriate for the Sunday meeting even though other congregation ask for it.
i would probably collapse laughing.
Mass suicides in 1945 Nazi Germany comes to mind.
There were several reasons why "some" decide to end there lives.
1) Nazi propaganda had created fear among some section of the population about
the impending military invasion of their country. Jw abandon in the wicked world.
2) Many had been indoctrinated in unquestioning loyalty to the party and with its cultural ideology of
preferring death over living in defeat.
3) Finally, others killed themselves because they knew what would happen to them following defeat, war
criminals. JW the damage they have done to love ones who left the organization.
i would probably collapse laughing.
I would reach out to my JW family members and hope they don't jump off some
bridge. Help them in getting some counsel..
the gb has recently said that the brothers are generously contributing lots of money (at gunpoint it seems!
) so why with a billion dollar annual income do they demand more cash?
they have staunched the outward flow of money on paid preachers, zone overseers and bethel expenses and stalled the promised worldwide luxury buildings projects..
Power is always dangerous. Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best.

my dog and other pets do their "business" and run away and are happy.. man does not have that luxury.
any thoughts on why animals were created with the "poop and go" capacity while man has to go through more steps?
was this perhaps an additional issue that god added on when adam and eve sinned (such as eve having significant more birth pains)?
LOL NO, no it was a compliment my friend, we cover a wide range of interesting topics.
The topic is really informative.
Just think if the subjects we cover here were covered(in detail) in the JW organization, how many of
us would have walked sooner.
