  What On Earth Makes The Watchtower Organization Think That Inactive Ones a Would Ever Want To Go Back To The Vomit?

  by minimus in

  do they actually believe that if they tell you that you are "missed", that you will desire to return to the sheepfold?

  What's more disturbing to me about this is that the CO's are giving the instructions to say:

  "The Governing Body asked us to stop by and see you."

  Not only do they not see it as "vomit", they think that name-dropping the GB means something.

  How humble of the Governing Body!

  It's like - "This invitation is from the office of the Pope."

  It reminds you of the pioneer meeting outline this past year which was something like "How Can We Imitate the Governing Body's Example?"

  So pious and self-righteous.

  Funny... I liked it.

  Putting it a visual form like that makes the point stick.

  Well this goes right along with the new arrangement of the CO making all the appointments and deletions.

  This will free up a night of the week for brothers to take the CO to dinner at a nice steakhouse.

  Let the Ass Kissing Begin!!!!

  LOL !!!

  Just giving another update.

  It is Thursday night May 15 (actually just after midnight on the 16th) here in the U.S......and.....nothing.

  No new instructions have surfaced. No new letters to the elders since the letter in the OP.

  That letter again was dated May 2. It said: hold up, new info coming, on this whole new donation arrangement thing.

  This new arrangement was supposed to be rolled out by the end of the month in all congregations.

  As of now, the bodies of elders do not even know what to do since the original announcement.

  If congregations did the survey/pledge deal, they, as of now, do not know what to do with the slips of paper they collected.

  Uhhhh Houston... we have a problem.

  yep!!

  the wtbts doesn't make adjustments to save money like some say, because jeehoober isn't about money.

  he just gets things done.

  Wow...

  Must be getting some push back from the rank-and-file brethren!

  Ohhhh the justification we will create to perpetuate the myth...

  ...

  Back in the real world, if they didn't need money or want money they wouldn't ask for it!!!!!!!!!

  Idiots

  The reason the Society keeps everyone busy with "campaigns"

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im sure that many have had an experience where we try and keep little kids "occupied" while on a boring trip, such as a car ride or plane flight.. we come up with "games" like..."lets see how many green cars we can count", or "lets try and see who can sit still for the longest time".

  "the winner gets a prize!".

  obviously, until they are wise enough to cotton on, all we are doing is keeping them occupied to prevent them asking things like "are we there yet?!".

  Remember the two signs we always see at assemblies? "Quiet Please" and "Please Keep Moving". That pretty much sums it up!

  A good read.

  Make Lemonade's quote was really the part that packed a punch.

  Hello- new here

  by Kikura in

  2. friends

  been lurking for a while on here and thought i'd jump in.

  a great deal of many thoughtful posts on here but have to say am a bit turned off with the 'rabid apostate' ones!.

  my history- was raised in a divided household, mum converted to jw when pregnant with me back in 1970, dad was never jw but was supportive of taking us to meetings, assemblies etc.

  Welcome Kikura/Scott. Nice to have you.

  You will find all sorts of discussions and all sorts of posts on here. Many of us use this as a place to vent.

  I know I do from time to time. So sometimes it gets ugly, but that's real life and real feelings.

  Those feelings aren't allowed at the KH so what choice do you have?

  Anyway, welcome! Look forward to your experiences and take on things.

  i have been in the fading process for over a year now.

  nobody has really bothered my wife and me since we've stopped, which i am thankful for.

  recently, i've had an old jw friend send me a few text messages relating to business.

  Good advice Dozy.

  It always leads back around to the GB saying "Because I said so". And you either swallow it or you get threatened with slander and extortion.

  As far as texting goes, I even have stuff I save (on my phone) from people in case I need it for retaliation.

  Such a loving environment of trust!

  sometimes this sounds good...but....forever?

  forever in a jw idea of perfection?

  does this mean no sports, or detective tv shows, or bad neighborhoods?

  What a blast all the resurrected pedophiles will have.

  Little witness kids everywhere and the whole earth being run by an organization trained to keep it hush hush.
