We close this prayer in the mighty god and our everlasting father Jesus Christ amen.

by pleaseresearch in

hmmm, how well do you think that would go down?.

you didn't say nothing wrong, isiah states that jesus is such things mentioned.

would brothers and sisters look at you with a smile, or would there be gasps of shock as you closed a prayer like that..

Doubtfully Yours

I'd say the "Amen" just because I've been not really listening to any of the prayers at the kh. I just bow head, sometimes close eyes, and wait for the group "Amen" to lift head back up.

So, I'm sure quite a few would say their "Amen".

May this double-standard in treatment of the rich and shameless 'in name only' JW and a regular Joe/Jane JW serve as a reason for many to distance themselves from this most double-faced liar of an Org.

The music, the videos, the movies, everything affiliated with this individual was discouraged by this Org as being 'of Satan', and now he's being given a most honorable JW send off after dying of what's presumed drug-related causes?

I'm seriously beginning to plan my exit from this Org. Feeling so angry at this time!

what more cuts might be in the pipeline

by pepperheart in

there have been so many cuts in the past few years in the jw world what do you think might be next?

Doubtfully Yours

One meeting weekly only.

No monthly reporting of service time.

No shunning!

Here praying for years now that the Friday gets knocked off from the RA. Also, shorter hours during all the assemblies. I swear I'll throw a party the very day that happens!

If in order to always use the WTBTS buildings the assemblies are reduced to only one 1-day and another 2-day each year, thus knocking out of the equation one of the small assemblies. That would be most awesome!!!

When they figure out that this method will bring them more money for less effort, it will come to pass as all changes throughout out this org's history points to the fact they've all been made in the name of 'more money funneled to momma'.

Given the 'JW celebrity' treatment even in death.

The God 'Money' sure is powerful.

Our thoughts on the latest JW Broadcast for the month of May

by Christian Gutierrez in

howdy guys!

this is our latest video on the jw broadcast in short form.

we talk about jw marriage challenges.

They, as well as many on this forum, have forgotten it all and their declarations are false for the most part.

Just one example, in the scenification video of the young girl that develops a crush on the young boy, she is shown cleaning some window glass at the hall, to what Katja remarked that she is doing her "womanly duty" as if that was the reason she is cleaning and the boy is not.

Idiot, different groups of people have the cleaning duties after the meetings! He was not cleaning most likely because his group was not the one assigned to the cleaning detail on that meeting night. It is so JW basic, and yet they make comments which show to be bogus and thus misleading.

Such a disgruntled and biased account of the whole presentation. I watched it and disagreed with their childish reporting.

Leaving the JW's is like a game of Poker....

by Turquoisepeace in

jw
friends

leaving the religion can be likened to a game of poker.

many possible scenarios can be played out during the game and the potential loss or gains are many:.

you have put too many chips in, every round it just seems you will win it all in the end.

Doubtfully Yours

As much as want, daydream about leaving the WTBTS, I just cannot.

All of my immediate relatives and life long close friends are hardcore JWs. My life is completely ruled by JW stuff. In the Autumn of my life, I just cannot muster the strength to start over.... alone.😔

So, as much as I am awake to TTATT, I choose what's familiar.

Why education is a killer for doomsday cults.

by Half banana in

if you were to read the watchtower literature and you believed it to be the exclusive divinely inspired interpretation of the bible, i suggest that you would not be learning anything useful, instead you would simply be absorbing the indoctrination of the jw org..

what is the difference between indoctrination and education?.

take any passage from the watchtower this sentence for example which assumes significance in the end of six thousand years of human history in 1975: “how then does this fit in with god’s timetable?”.
