  LOL! Good one!

  Questions from Readers: In a recent Watchtower, it was mentioned that we must 'control our thoughts'. I was wondering how a mature Christian could control his/her thoughts efficiently?

  Answer: Dear Reader, it has come to our attention here in BORGlyn that some brothers have recent decided to 'think for themselves'. We do not advocate the use of your entire mind at all, since we are a completely power-mad bunch of despots preying on weak-minded people. 'Thinking for yourself' is clearly condemned in Genesis, where Lot's daughter decided to 'think for herself' by turning her head in a direction she had been forbidden to rotate it in, and was subsequently blasted with God's magic Salt Ray. Only people who want to get turned into giant salt blocks for tanning leather with would want to think for themselves, after all, as the Bible says, "We must not be forsaking the gathering of ourselves together". This means that if you don't attend meetings often enough, we will send the Thought Police to wander around behind you as you go about your daily life. This loving arrangement by the FDS ensures that you are always so nervous about not randomly underlining bits of the Watchtower with a marker ten minutes before you leave for the meeting that you actually read the material. This bone dry and very uplifting 'food at the right time' differs from the 'milk of the world', in that we kill the cow to provide it, instead of merely squeezing it's udder repeatedly, therefore you must read your Watchtower at least ONCE before going to the Sunday meeting, and once again if you are a Bethelite for the Monday night meetings.

  Some have been noted as saying that we are a mind control cult, but it is apparent in the Scriptures that we are NOT, because Paul clearly stated that those people should 'remove the bale from their own eye' before criticising our perfect, uncorruptable Society, or the FDS. Be careful what you think, or else the Smurfs will invade your mind and make you stop selling our books, which would be a horrible disfellowshipping offense.

  whether or not the 'dateline' program ever airs, the watchtower.

  society is still going to get pounded by bad press over the coming.

  months and years.. why should they care?

  Unfortunately, the Legal Dept. can jump up and down on their cute little podiums till they are blue in the face, and this will change nothing, because the Society reached critical mass nearly 80 years ago. Now there can only be a very gradual decline, not a spectacularly large number of people leaving. It's a complex business, leaving the Society.

  Preparing the sheep for Dateline

  by expatbrit in

  here's a quote from purlanguage.net regarding a recent special assembly day:.

  our speaker from bethel told us that something big is coming from the apostates in the next few weeks, something is afoot.

  also to prepare for outright persecution in the united states, as well as elsewhere.

  Yip. I agree with NameWithHeld. That's the situation. I've never said, nor has Silentlambs or many people here, that all Dubs are paedophiles. That's nonsense. We are very vocal about the small minority of Dubs who are, though, and the Society that shelters and protects them for 'the good of the congregation'.

  that's all i wanted to say.

  you can always spot them by the 'less than 1/2 miles per hour' they stroll down the street.

  During my last few weeks as a Witness, and the last few times I actually went on FS, whenever an Elder was my partner in FS they would ask all these damn probing questions, 'how is school', 'you haven't been on the Internet have you' etc etc. Lots of hidden warnings etc. I think they were onto my 'immoral' behaviour long before I left.

  Not that I could possibly care even the slightest bit!!!!

  But it did suck generally.

  *BWHAHAHA*

  Now they're even telling us that inhaling is OK, but exhaling is a disfellowshipping offense!

  *OH MY SACK* this is funny...I'm sure that the WTBTS Writing Department is secretly the headquarters of The Onion or Satirewire or something!

  Sneaking out the back door?

  by ozziepost in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the february issue of kingdom ministry for britain informs that for "the past five years, more than 400 people each year have responded to help and been reactivated".

  (page 5, paragraph 14).

  interestingly, in that same period the average number of publishers has gone from 124,623 in 1996 to 119,655 in 2001. during that time around (say) 2,500 have been baptised each year.. do you get the feeling that something doesn't add up?

  The WTBTS know that there's a storm coming, but they haven't tell the R&F just yet. In a few years the brown stuff is truly going to become one with the fan

  Watchtower's blind hypocrisy

  by Nemesis in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was just surfing and looked at the official jw site.

  there was a picture of a nun on the front page and it said: is there a sound basis for your beliefs?

  if you click on it you get this link, to a watchtower article: http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/2001/8/1/article_01.htm.

  Their beliefs becloud their critical judgement

  What critical judgement? I thought they were supposed to 'control their thoughts'!!!

  Hypocritical BS like this from the WTBTS just makes me want to alternate laughing with punching the wall, honestly. The boys @ the top are so arrogant it's unbelievable. They are above the law.
