so an elder just dropped by my job, completely out of the blue.
recepitionist called me over and there he was.
he told about annual meerting and grey bible....etc.
He said that one of GB members mentioned in his talk that in the near future "special instructions" may be given from the platform and the friends are to keep this info. confidential.
"Special Instructions, Confidential".......like an announcement at the beginning of the Memorial talk where the Governing Body announce the "new light" that all JW's will drink the wine & eat the unleavened bread shipped directly from the Watchtower, then watch all those fools drop dead like Jonestown.
there's a lot.
.
one that i just don't understand is that no one should hold hands during a prayer.. where the hell do they come up with these rules??
A JW rule is that you can't play chess because of it's connection to war & the military, but another rule is that a JW man must wear a necktie which has a connection to war & the military.
with the watchtower having a 25million monthly print, here is the breakdown.
1 tree will make 8,333 sheets of paper.
each watchtower, atleast the last i had, had around 16 sheets.
"Every watchtower, awake, etc printed kills 48,000 trees brains!"
This was so funny.
There are 2 ways to kill a zombie.
1) shoot them in the head
2) have them read the Watchtower
so after the annual meeting, on sunday, the elders want to talk with my family.
i do not like this one bit.
perhaps i am being exposed.
the elders want to talk with my family. I do not like this one bit. Perhaps I am being exposed. I am over 18 so if I think it is apostasy, they would talk to me privately, despite me being in my mother's home. I am really freaking nervous and I do not know what to think. WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO TALK TO MY WHOLE FAMILY?
Only a cult could make people nervous about the leaders coming into your own house for a "visit". Normally, I would recommend blowing off meeting with them off. However, there is more strength with the family together. Talk with your family and see what they think about this visit. Them not wanting to talk to you alone is a good sign. If the family is okay with the visit, just make many trips to the bathroom and it won't seem as long. You could also be "cooking" something, and have to go to the kitchen to waste time. LOL
please share how your wt study went today...
somehow jesus got lost in the shuffle!
Jesus has been lost in the JW shuffle for probably over 20 years now.

25,000,000 prints / 520 = 48,076 trees PER MONTH. NOT INCLUDING awakes, study edition, and other books.
Combine this with all the gallons of vehicle fuel that JW's have burned to spread their ever changing cult propaganda, and the Watchtower could very well be the most damaging religion to the environment per capita.

Idiot......ruin your life without even joining the JW cult.
another great article from the ted talks.
opening quote really tells it all: "the distinction between cult and religion lies squarely in how those leaving or those wanting to leave are treated.

Religion: Walk in, Walk out.
Cult: Works required to walk in and stay in, repercussions to walk out.
JW Cult: Love bombing by these new friends to draw you into the Cult, turns to hate and shunning by these false friends if you decide to leave on your own accord.
latest news from a source (missionary in foreign land):.
no more missionary homes anywhere in the world.. all missionaries presently in missionary homes must vacate.
must get housing on your own / from the locals.. circuit and district overseers have moved into many of these former missionary homes.. reasons: liability, cost savings, real estate to be sold or used for other purposes.. needless to say, many of these longtime servants are very unsettled.
"Jehovah always provides for his faithful servants. Ever since the Watchtower Missionary House closed down, Jehovah has provided me this van down by the river."
