im sure you all have heard at one point or read that being an elder or ms isnt a position higher up but rather that you work under the congregation.. anthony morris just threw that out the window!
i have privileges in the congregation and even i was offended and felt bad for anyone who was 23 or older and not a ms!.
he goes on to tell this story of how a sister wanted to marry a brother and that anthony morris discouraged it because he was 23 and not an ms yet.
I have known so many disgusting 23 y’old MS at my old hall that would make any sister miserable… And so many nice, hard working ‘regular’ brothers that were never given a chance to even become a MS cause they didn’t have the same ‘connections’ as some other brothers in the hall.
This is just sad.
when i am3 was going to speak i was ecstatic to hear this lunatic embarass himself.
after the propaganda indoctrination session, a relative asked me what my spiritual goals were, i told em i want to become a servant before i turn 23 so i could get laid.
lmfao.
Oh Tony, he is so obsessed with brother’s tight pants and so ‘jealous’ of sister’s jogging clothes that it makes me wonder if he really hasn’t a rather controversial sexual orientation in secret! Think about it.
i've heard about his bombastic, overly patronising, cartoon-ish delivery before, but i'd never actually seen it...until now.
and i should add, this religion bears little to no relation to the one i left 6 years ago.. .
.
All I can say is that for someone who was raised as a JW in the 80's/90's this thing is totally repugnant.
if there was a pill you could give to your jw family members that would awaken their eyes to the truth about the cult, would you give it to them?.
most would probably say yes.. but what about those who are completely institutionalized, the elderly, the super zealous, the geeky kids who have no friends, the misfits?.
some people need "boundaries", they need someone to lead and give them directions, they need a sense of belonging, even in an organization that has no social programs.
That's easy: YES
has the gb ever explained exactly how they supposedly communicate with god and get new light or other "inspiration" for their "spiritual dog food"?.
do they all sit in a room together and hold hands and join one conciousness??.
do they fall asleep and go to the dream world and talk to jehovah there like the movie inception or something??.
If they're the sole channel of communication, it is about time to change to another cable provider... I have COX at home =P
i am pretty sure it has been discussed before here, but i just wanted to express how repulsive it is to me to see all that jw.org worship.. after looking at this picture, can you tell me where the jws are heading to?.
.
it makes me want to vomit.. cheers..

i am in my early 30s and woke up to ttatt in late 2012. my dad just turned 65 in june!
wow, i never saw that being possible.. .
he just got himself a computer and was able to get internet in a remote location where he is serving as an elder with my mom (where the need is great) i was happy to see how he was able to send me a few notes saying hi and i was able to share some pictures of my wife and family, etc.. .
If The End will come at a time no one expects, then it is never coming.
hi there folks,.
i no longer believe in a dime the wt corporation says.
for over a year i've been inactive in field service and i skip meetings whenever i can.. all my family is jw, and that includes my spouse.. i have already come open with her and exposed the wt for what it really is.
Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciateall your comments!
Obviously people have mixed opinions on this, it really is a delicate decision with serious repercussions for both spouses.
Just to make it clear: I haven't yet stopped going, but really wanted to.
My wife and I have recently moved to a different city and that allowed me to not go to meetings for several weeks now.
I still don't know what to do; recently she began to be really upset with me when I tell her I don't want to go to the meetings. She thinks I owe her that; which in some sense I do (she has been covering for me for a long time).
At the same time, as some of you have mentioned, it might take a firm attitude on me to wake her up.
Again, I deeply appreciate all comments above!
Cheers!
here is the link: http://seattledelegates.org/.
i would guess this is the wave of the future.
a secondary channel of business revenue for the wts - compensation for recommending restaurants, tours, etc.
That is a really well designed website! It even uses a service to hide WHOIS services.
Can anyone say for sure it has been designed by the WT?
a discussion of this talk on friday morning deserves its own thread.
as i said elsewhere, it was a remarkable one.
the speaker was manfred vencebi (google him - he's a bethel bigwig) and some of his remarks are real gems.
most biased speech ever
