So incredibly class conscious, it's unreal.
I am less judgmental now than I ever was as a jw.
There by the Grace of God and all that.
so today's study is all about being kindly, and not judgemental to those in the congregation....we don't know their circumstances etc.... i can't believe the hypocrisy being spewed out...both in the article and by means of the answers from the audience!.
we know the reality is so different!
unless a witness does everything exactly as the gb directs...in every aspects of life, they are effectively no longer a good person, but are viewed as spiritually lacking or weak..... they are going directly beyond the biblical directives, and being ones who condemn, rather than ones who commend!.

i got woken up by a very strong quake at 3:30 this morning.
it was 6.0 centered about ten miles from my house, up in napa, ca.
we had no damage, but it definitely gets you it of bed!
Hope you guys are coping okay.
You just can't fight the elements.
Take care.

And DON'T forget that all time favourite saying; "The best Assembly ever."
Barf.
this is an organization that has an apocalyptic end-of-days strategic vision that will eventually have to be defeated, general martin e. dempsey, u.s. chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, said on thursday.. .
he sounds like he's talking about jws.
but he's actually referring to isis.
Good post, like it.
Religous fanaticism is so destructive and pointless.

My mother has gone up to Twickenham (H.Q), best when the rugby is on methinks!!!
She has been ill recently but went anyway. She makes me sick. She never comes to visit her only grandchild or send him any pocket money but is spending a shitload of cash to be a good little jw. I put the phone down on her last time we spoke, I was that angry.

In the words of one of our fellow forum members;
"Batshit Crazy."
my still-in wife has asked we prepare a "go-bag" with all the stuff we need in case of a natural disaster....we live in a country where there is none!.
but when i asked where this all came from she mentioned hurricanes etc but again we live in an area where they can never be things like this.. thus i suspect this is a society based instruction...can anyone enlighten me?.
are the society advising dubs to be doom preppers???
Britain survived the Blitz, so what's the panic??
hi guys, i don't really post on here much anymore, having been on here since 2001. this site helped me out in the early days and has been a great support system for all of my past jw issues.
like many others i was discouraged from an education so that i could window clean and pioneer in my youth during the 80's.
having spent many years post my jw exit in alcoholism and periods of drugs, i decided to clean myself up 7 years ago by attending aa, i was still a window cleaner ... at the time i wrote extensively on here about my issues.
Thrilled for you. EDUCATION is the best thing to overcome prejudice and poverty.
Long may you run.
Rest in Peace.
