Funny how Jehovah lovingly provides "New Light" when the old light has been or is about to be, proven false.
But it seem's like lately they've even had some "New Light" about the term "New Light" itself. They seem to prefer to use the term "Adjustments" these days.
i need to explain this to someone later and need a concice way of putting it.
f you had to give a "in a nutshell" definition of ttatt, what would you say or what main points would you use to define it ?.
( thanks in advance for your help ).
Some people say things changed forever once they learnend TTATT. For instance some say it was when they found out about the Watchtower/UN affiliation. Other's say it was when they learned about Beth Sarim or about the Gay former GB member(s). If you were to make a list of the top three disillusioning things you found out about the religion you once thought of as "The Truth",what would they be?

ok, so, brother morris seems to have gone out on a limb with his comments about tight pants.
yup, he's an opinionated man.
but, i fully expect that there will be some reference to the scientific wisdom behind his words.
My Father in Law once jokingly said about some guy on TV wearing tight pants " That guys pants are like a cheap Hotel....there's no Ballroom"
There likely are health benefits in men wearing loose fitting pants just like there are health benefits from not eating birthday cake but that's not the point they're trying to make . They are indicating that what they proclam on any subject no matter how petty, is Biblically based or directly coming from Jehovah.
You can find ants at any just about any picnic, if you look hard enough so when they hauled a million basically clean living JW's together, instead of being glad that these Spanx wearing Sisters and clean cut young brothers with their snug fitting pants are still trying, they start nit-picking about thier clothing and shaming them for not being Ministerial Servants. Those GB members need a good dose of reality. Perhaps a week away from their insulated cocoon, spent physically helping real people with real problems would give them some much needed perspective.
i was head over heels for this girl, but when i realized i was in a self destructive cult i realized tieing the knot with her would screw up my future.
this makes me think of the highschool sweethearts i turned down that were worldly.
now she gives me dirty looks whenever our eyes meet a the hall or at gatherings.
If she's the kind of girl who resorts to giving dirty looks rather than finding out what is bothering you, then you're better off without her. If you weren't able to bring yourself to tell her what your true feelings are about such an important matter, then you really didn't have much of a relationship even though you were "head over heels" about her .

skin-tight pants are a no-no in public, church leader says,.
I wonder if anyone here has any connection with a LGBT publication or group that could make a big stink out of this and demand an apology or at least embarrass them publicly . I wonder if enough of us sent a copy of the talk or newspaper articles in to places or groups who deal with discrimination and human rights, they'd be motivated to make these narrow minded comments go viral. They could also mention that gay people are thrown out and their freinds and family are no longer able to associat with them lest they be thrown out themselves for doing so.
I'd love to see these arrogant SOB's who mislead so many of us into wasting our lives, pay in some way. This may be the only chance there'll be for something like this to happen for a long time.

to give a little background, my parents are in their late 50s.
around a year ago, my elder dad got laid off from his job.
he worked as a auto mechanic making ok money.
Just guessing but at your parents age (late 50's) they are burned out and looking for any excuse not to have to work anymore. Your Dad has tasted the good life, not working and getting benefits and doesn't want to go back to the old grind. Your Mom probably likes having him around or at least having someone to Pioneer with. They probably enjoy the status of being Pioneers as well. JW's are the only ones who can be hero's among their peers for being charity cases. I'd say they are using Pioneering as a means to step off the 9 to 5 treadmill.
If you're smart, you won't enable them by bailing them out financially if they are turning down jobs. When you were a teen they probably wouldn't hand you money if you were just loafing around.
just wondering if any one has heard from ones still asleep, what their feedback has been and what comments have been made by the rank and file??.

Lots of facebook photo opportunities with tables full of folks who went to dinner afterward and lots of Spanx jokes.
"it's the intent that counts not the result.".
i have been out of the jw organization for some 22 years now and i sometimes get a reminding jolt out the hoops that some will jump through to make their religion make sense to them.
the first line in this post is what a jw on the street here in salinas told me on saturday when trying to justify the society's history of false prophecies.
JW: Ray the point is that at least the Witnesses were trying to keep alert and stay on the watch versus being asleep at the wheel like the rest of the churches. In other words Ray it's the intent that counts and not the result.
If you were on a 8 day cruise and the captain kept announcing: " Attention Passengers, we're sinking go to the bow of the ship....no wait,go to the stern.....no go to the starboard...no, the port side...never mind, apparently the ship isn't sinking just yet but it probably will be in a few hours " The Passengers would be scrambling around at first but would end up frustrated, confused and possibly dead if and when it eventually happened.
Is the Captains intent to keep his passengers alert and on their toes the most important thing here or is accurate information from the person claiming to be an authority and who is in charge, what really counts?
