Scully is right, I had a discussion one time with some elders who were trying to encourage me (pry into my personal life) at one point I asked them why they ridiculed and looked down on Catholics when they changed their stance on eating meat on Fridays, and yet when JW's changed their position on organ transplants that was OK even though lives had been wasted.

me and the deemunz
by katiekitten ini was lucky to have been brought up in the troof, because if i hadnt, i wouldnt have known about the demons and how they are always looking for opportunities to lead us astray by appearing as ghosties, or by making household objects float, or by getting into our house through items bought from car boot sales.. my first memories of the deemunz was quite early, say aged 5 or 6. i used to think they were at the end of the bed, and so i had to sleep with my legs curled up as tightly as possible, so they wouldnt get my toes.
i cant even begin to think what terrible things they were going to do with my piggies, but sure as the apostles i wasnt going to give them a chance.. aged 7 or 8 i knew the deemunz were after me, because i was special.
i was a jehobas witness.

So Katie you're form West Yorkshire, I'm originally from Sheffield (S.Yorks.for the rest of you) I knew a bloke/brother from Huddersfield, Roger Crowther. Did you ever come across him? Any idea what he's up to? We were good friends once but our paths have diverged if you know what I mean.

The GB of the JWs guilty or naive and ignorant ?
by greendawn insome people believe that the gb of the jws are a bunch of well meaning but naive and ignorant individuals who do not really mean to cause the harm they do cause in the r & f and they may not even be aware of it.
i personally disagree with that and believe that everything they do is based on shrewd cold blooded calculations that are meant to promote their interests, that they sold their souls to the devil as it were in exchange of a huge intoxicating power trip.
they are fully aware of the harm they cause but their conscience is singed beyond all sensitivity.

Over the years an impersonal entity has been created that is bigger and more powerful than any individual...The Society or The Organizaion The GB aim is always to protect this entity and see that no harm comes to it. So what if lives get ruined or coverups and lies are concocted to save the image of Gods channel. The faithful and wise servant serves the Organization first and only. Ordinary lives don't really matter that much in their scheme of things. GUILTY

MY ADVENTURE AT THE ASSEMBLY......
by Mary into start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.
stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.
once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.

When Jehovah's Witnesses do bad - Are criticisms of JW's valid? Part I
by rambaldi inwhen we see news reports of jehovahs witnesses who are reported to have done something bad, what do we think?
sometimes people ridicule us for that.
obey and become his special property, disobey and be rejected.

I'd never noticed that...isn't it just like them...the modern day Pharasee Class. I remember years ago they used to say they were not a religion.

Witnesses are so quick to critisize and so severe in their judgements. They reduce good people to something less than themselves by tagging them as "worldly" (oh she's nice but she is worldly) Anyone who was a witness but disagrees is an apostate, the lowest of the low. So all in all by setting themselves up as the only ones approved by God they are climbing a high pedestal and basking only in their own self -righteousness. For example the idea of a clean org. is a myth. The organization is full of dirty little secrets. They set themselves up for a fall and when they fall, they fall hard, and I for one applaude long and loud. I think it's the false pride exploding and the inner corruption being laid bare that I enjoy seeing the most. The squirming and wriggling as they spew forth "damage control" rubbish. eg the UN coverup and excuses.

Well done Richie, Very interesting baptism stats. Not many converts... Maybe to spur future growth the Borg will outlaw contraceptives too.

If they want obedience to "suggestions" like stay here for lunch, isn't that really an instruction in disguise? It's amazing how much control they try to take over a persons life and then they couple the control to Godly Obedience and lay on a big guilt trip like if you disobey us you are disobeying God himself. It makes me want to puke. Thanks Mary, sorry you had to sit through this garbage.
