  The "barf" Bethel visit

  by Yadira Angelini in

  my jw daughter came over monday to tell me all about her visit to bethel!.

  first, she said how happy she felt and so very emotional when they took them, (a group of 8) to where the "twelve goberning body" held their meetings.

  she said: "mom, i got to see where they sit!".

  Makes me remember all the times we had an overseer over for dinner. My mom would scour the house, tell us to be on our ultra-good behavior.. then, when he and his wife came in, everyone rushed to get his seat, get a drink, etc. It was like having the king and queen of England over. Everything that came out of their mouths was greeted with 'oohs' and 'aahs'. - - Terafera

  Last time the circuit overseer came to my house (back when I lived with my parents and was 14 years old), he criticized my conduct and made threats regarding the consequences (i.e. disassociation) during lunch. I responded by asking him and his wife to "get the f&*k out of our house." Although I paid the price with dad for it, I really enjoyed doing it and have never regretted it.

  Patriot,

  Congratulations on your success in entering the profession you desired as well as for your success in being a caring human being. It's too bad the Witnesses are unable to collectively elevate their consciousness to a level where they actually practice the forgiveness they preach about.

  INDEED, LET THE GAMES BEGIN

  by You Know in

  several enemies of the watchtower have ebulliently expressed the sentiment: let the games begin.

  indeed, i too share that desire to let the games begin, so-to-speak.

  but, what exactly are we to expect when once the games commence?

  You poor imbecile. - - You Know

  What a courageous man you are, engaging in name-calling from the safety of your keyboard.

  Keep on demonstrating your hypocrisy to all on this site. You attempt to be an advocate of the Jehovah's Witnesses, but you are unable to conform your conduct to their teachings.

  JEHOVAH JUDGES ABUSIVE ELDERS

  by You Know in

  repeatedly, the scriptures admonish jehovahs people to stay in wakeful anticipation of gods judgments.

  the not so obvious reason being that we don't know exactly how jehovah's judgments are going to go down.

  however, the ordering of events once the judgment commences should not be in question.

  LOL. You definitely have potential as a stand-up comic! / You Know

  You definitely have potential as a defendant . . . and don't think your identity isn't ascertainable via legal process.

  It is similar to the operation of error that has already caused many to come under the influence of Ray Franz and other lawless apostates. - You Know

  You Should Know,

  What laws are you alleging Mr. Franz has violated? If you have no basis for this allegation, then you ought to clarify or retract this ostensibly libelous statement.

  You Ought to Know,

  Changing the subject won't disguise your miserable failure to refute or defend my statements regarding your cult's encouragement of child abuse and exploitation.

  Your pompousness is only exceeded by your ignorance.

  All this time I'm in my K9 BDU's and with my sidearm. He did not say a word about it.

  Patriot,

  I'm assuming (more like hoping), given the above, that you are a law enforcement officer. The quote above gives me the impression that you were expecting a negative response from this guy regarding your profession. Did becoming a law enforcement officer result in JW problems for you or did you become a law enforcement officer after you left the JWs? I've been out for 23 years, but I seem to recall that a popular elder in our congregation was also a law enforcement officer (he was a detective - not a uniformed officer), who was known to carry a concealed weapon. To my knowledge, no one in our congregation had any issues with that.

  Jehovah obviously holds elders and the Governing Body more accountable as to how they discharge their shepherding obligations. - - You Know (but he obviously doesn't!)

  So what accountability is Jehovah going to impose upon the leaders of your cult who have encouraged the abuse and exploitation of children?

  Objectivity and This Site

  i must say that as a neutral scientific observer of this site--it seems that things are kind of one-sided here.

  i thought this was a board with both devout jws and ex-jws on it.

  on further reflection it appears that this medium of communication should probably be called ex-jw.com.

  For one who represents him/herself as an "intellectual academic," you are ostensibly ignorant of the teachings of the Jehovah's Witness cult. "Devout" JWs will never be found on this board because the JW cult forbids communication with disfellowshipped or disassociated members and also admonishes its members to avoid material written by "apostates."

  On further reflection it appears that this medium of communication should probably be called ex-jw.com. Hey it is your choice what you want to call it.

  Thanks for acknowledging our freedom of expression. Now maybe you can convince the leaders of your cult to allow its members similar freedoms.

  But objectivity and openness are important for us intellectual academics.

  Intellectual academic? Isn't that an oxymoron?

  As for your objectivity, a review of the posts indicates that you haven't fooled anyone here. It may surprise you, but the folks on this board are not as easy to fool as the sheep you're accustomed to. Welcome to the real world!

  Do the elders in your congregation know of your activities here?

  I am making fun of you personally. / You Know

  Here's another example of a Jehovah's Witness who doesn't practice what they preach.
