  Brokeback....it may b that they might not have known what they were doing when they were in flux with the new program. But once they figured out how to spin it to their financial advantage, believe me they zeroed in for the kill. Vultures! Hugs to you, 4thgen

  Pulling back the curtain? Really!?!? Why not pull it back all the way and release a financial statement to show what is actually going on with the funds? They need Real Estate professionals now? Tell me, how does that fit in with the preaching work? No hugs to you....just a slap upside the head..😠😡😤😖..4thgen

  idiot

  /ˈɪdɪət/

  noun

  1. a person with severe mental retardation

  2. a foolish or senseless person

  Idiot? No. My Great-great grandmother left the Catholic religion because of the stance they took on warfare. She knew from the Bible that killing was wrong and stood up for what she knew to be right. It was challenging to stand up against the Catholics back in the early 40’s. I have to say that I admire her choice and applaud her courage. It certainly was a different world back then.

  Only through the passage of time, have we seen that the predictions are false. Today we have the internet and with a little bit of effort can pull back the curtain and see the reality of the organization. Idiots? No. Ignorant of the facts? Yes.

  As for myself, yes I think I was an idiot. It took me a few years to finally accept TTATT.

  I got a migraine and became sick to my stomach and vomited. I was a classic example of cognitive dissonance in action. It took me many months to accept the facts.

  Selloff Hinted At Assembly

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the last talk at the assembly made an interesting statement, "we can show faith by following direction if we're asked to move to another kingdom hall for better use of dedicated christian funds".

  this statement has everyone talking.

  i spoke to multiple individuals and they heard the same thing at different assembly's.. i know they have been "evaluating" all kingdom halls the last year or two.

  joey jojo: What a cryin' shame about your grandmother. To take money from a senior and do what they did is reproachable. Maybe some good would come of it...maybe she will start mulling it over and eventually learn TTATT. We can only hope. Hugs, 4thgen

  Using the term "Watchtower" when talking to a JW

  by Sanchy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  has anyone else noticed how alarm bells go off inside a jw mind as soon as they hear someone that "is out" refer to the leaders of this org as "watchtower"?

  i've chatted with a few friends now about my doubts and each and every time i've started using phrases such as "watchtower said this" or "watchtower did that", i can almost see their heads about to explode in anger, as if they've just realized they are talking to the lucifer himself.

  some have even interrupted and corrected me by reminding me that it's not "watchtower", it's "god's organization".

  Maybe the term "Watchtower" brings up the old ways...Of course now they are JW.org...Worshiping a website instead of a magazine seems more palatable. Got to keep up with the times!

  that's $40,000.00 usd of "dedicated funds.

  Convention Videos: Someone messed up royally

  by ILoveTTATT2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  .

  when i first saw the video, i was like, "wait... is that her... panties showing through the dress"?and it seems like it is so.turns out that if you look at the middle right of the video, there are some letters.

  it reads, "footage provided by pond5".if someone wants to purchase that video to confirm, you can purchase it here:http://depositphotos.com/63621499/stock-video-violinist-girl-walking-through-a.htmli think that this was a royal mess up because i doubt they would put footage of a sister in a skimpy, revealing dress.doesn't the gb approve this?this will probably go down as another of the "subliminal images"...if there are thongs in paradise... might not be so bad after all!.

  JoDee Messina - Song: Bye Bye

  Bye bye love I'll catch you later
  Got a left foot down on my accelerator and the rear view mirror torn off
  I ain't never lookin' back and that's a fact
  I've tried all I can imagine
  I've begged and pleaded in true lover's fashion
  I've got pride I'm takin' it for a ride
  Bye bye, bye bye my baby, bye bye

  Don't think all those tears are gonna hold me here like they've done before
  You'll find what's left of us in a cloud of dust on highway 4
  Baby what did you expect me to do
  Just sit around and wait on you
  Well I'm through watchin' you just skate around the truth
  And I know it sounds trite
  I've seen the light

  Independence Day, Martina McBride

  • Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
    Though she looked a little worried and weak.
    She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
    But daddy'd left the proof on her cheek.
    Well ,word gets around in a small,small town
    They said he was a dangerous man
    But mama was proud and she stood her ground
    But she knew she was on the losin' end.
    Some folks whispered and some folks talked
    But everybody looked the other way
    And when time ran out there was no one about
    On Independence Day.

    Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
    Let the whole world know that today
    Is a day of reckoning.
    Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
    Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
    It's Independence Day.
