Another TRUE Sheep and Wolves Story... Must Read.

by Confucious in

jw
friends

the analogy first... .

a sheep wanders off and gets jumped by a wolf.

the sheep finds her way back home.

Confucious

Ok,

The analogy first...

A sheep wanders off and gets jumped by a wolf.

The sheep finds her way back home.

She's bleeding by the head. She's limping.

Then the shephard sees the sheep and yells, "She's bleeding!!! The blood will attract MORE WOLVES!!!"

KILL IT!!!!

So all the shephards get together and kill the bleeding sheep.

Hard to believe, I know.

But here's another TRUE story that is hard to believe, but it just happened.

A sister was dating an brother on reproof.

She got engaged with him and the elders gave her a hard time.

Turns out, one day, the sister goes her fiance's home and finds her fiance in bed with another girl.

The fiance beats her up SEVERELY.

The girl showed up at the KH yesterday.

Ok, and this is all true...

She's sitting in the KH so beat up that there are STAPLES in her head.

She finds out that he's cheating on her.

She finds out that the girl she is cheating on is PREGNANT.

AND she finds out that SHE IS PREGNANT with this guys bastard child. The guy that just beat the crap out of her.

And she's sitting in the KH.

And to top it off, she just got DISFELLOWSHIPPED!!!!

Poor girl!!!

But of course, the propaganda that was given to me is that - "...see what happens when you don't listen to counsel."

Sure, but at this time, don't you think the sheep needs the love of her spiritual family???

"THE SHEEP IS BLEEDING!!!!! KILL IT!!!!!"

Contributions? Wait On Jehovah!

by metatron in

jw
friends

clearly, there is every earmark of financial worries within the watchtower society.. even governing body members have expressed concern about falling contribution levels.

within congregations.

yet, for the faithful, the answer is simple: wait on jehovah.. .

Confucious

Pro,

In defense of AlanF.

Whatever you believe, this is primarily a Christian forum since the WT claim to hold itself to those values.

So most debates are settled by the Bible.

Jesus Christ, who has the highest IQ of all, spent his life here denouncing Hypocrites.

And though I'm not sure exactly what you believe, you'd have a mighty hard time debating that.

The Borg BREEDS hypocrites.

Quite frankly, and respectfully to you - I don't know or can't grasp the concept of what a fair or unfair hypocrite is.

But the Borg breeds hypocrites. They HAVE to be.

Because their morality is a farce.

On one hand, they have to put on this perfect face of morality and pureness. That is what the religion is based on. The outward appearance.

But Jesus warned of the whitewashed graves.

BTW, I love many of my brothers and sisters in the Borg.

But I told my ex-wife that I could have every single elder removed by asking them 3 questions.

And if they told the truth, according to "OPERATIONAL PROCEEDURES" they should be removed for uncleanliness.

For example, "Have you ever Masterbated when you were either an MS or and Elders."

Oh hell.

If you admit it, according the the WT, you are unclean.

Hell, I find it hard to believe all those single brothers that are so "sweaky clean" in outward appearance in Bethel haven't wacked off since being there.

But because it's such a uncleanliness, it'll get you removed.

So you you have two choices...

You either fight it and get depressed because there is No Way to live up to the Borgs standards.

OR, you learn to be a hypocrite and denouce other people for their sins, while you're neck up in your own.

In all respect Pro, it is not only a right to question. It is a duty to question.

How does the WT praise Judge Rutherford in their glowing article about him. Saying how he fought for truth and wasn't afraid of this or that (exposing hypocricy in Catholic Church or whatever).

And in the same breath critizes all these so called "cry babies" on this forum for doing the same?

Who do you blame? (WT related...)

by Confucious in

hey guys, .

of course, i know that most of you here are very frustated with the borg.

do you blame anyone?

Confucious

Thanks for all of you who replied to this thread.

What a life lesson, huh???

I'm feeling more and more at home in this forum.

When I was a dub, I remember having conversations with the PO and we would be talking about his phenomenon.

That is: "Why is it that ex-dubs feel so drawn to each other."

The point we made at the time was, "They feel drawn because they know this is the truth and that since they are the "walking dead," they feel the need to be together in their misery."

Of course, today, I know different.

Hell, no different that Sex Abuse Victims getting together to talk about their pain.

friends

just got this one in the email.

someone already posted this one, but it was sent to me by a "friend" who no longer communicates with me and then sends me something like this from the circuit assembly.

guess she thinks that now that i am "inactive" i may need this little wake up call.

Confucious

This is some Crazy Sh^t you know???

Wrong Freek'in Analogy.

How about the analogy of the Wolf in Sheeps clothing that beats the hell out of the sheep. (elders)

What about that one???

Another great orator gave that story.

His name is Jesus.
