Troll Accusations
by Frazzled UBM ini have noticed that some of us are a bit too eager to label new posters as trolls.
while it is clear that there are some posters who just like to stir up trouble or are out and out apologists there are others who are witnesses starting to have genuine doubts and so ask questions but then when they see the responses the cognitive dissonance kicks in and they push back and argue with what they are being told.
this can lead to very negative reactions from jwn members and accusations that the person is a troll.

What has the WTS EVER "predicted" that has actually come true?
by integ inyou'd think they could point to something right?
obviously we're the one true religion".. i can't fathom how anyone of any intelligence would be willing to join up with this org after doing even rudimentary research.. for years they have taught that it's wrong to seek advanced education or to plan for a "worldly" future by trusting in this system of things and then this past sunday the watchtower article rips on people for not planning for the future in regard to their elderly relatives.
maybe if they hadn't been teaching for 100 yr's that the end was "just around the corner" and telling us we'd better believe that fact...or else, we would have planned better for a future that you said without reservation would not even occur.. what mind blowing prediction can they point to that would convince someone "oh yeah..these guys have it right"...?.

HeyThere
i saw the wt about elderly as acknowledgment that there are now many old witnesses who dont have a way to care for themselves because they listened to the wt amd didnt plan for this "system" to last. now with cutting the do's you add even more needy older ones. ones who may have shunned theor family and kids oray have fam amd kids as broke as them from following the dub dub. so it was a manipulative, timely reminderasking for dubs to help the needy older ones becaise the wt wont. the wt keeps all donatioms, so npw they want dubs to also donate directly to those needy ones as well, using their typical j-dub mind tricks to do it. all while still asking those same needy ones to donate what they can as well to gain jehovahs favor...remember this same wt issue discusses the poor widow who gained jehovahs favor....

Why the Clean out of top Management
by Poztate init has been commented here that "soon" the do's will be history.
the co level will be "retired" at age 70 and the latest development was that the cobe can not serve after age 80. it would seem that there is a "cull" of top management.
in secular companys that would signal a radical change of directions ???.

Blood, Fractions Policy and Milk Products compared
by Not Feeling It inthis is my first post on the new site so here goes.... .
i was reading the post a while back from "v" on blood policy and fractions where it was compared to a ham sandwich.
this was a good illustration, but i thought it lacking a bit in that the components exist on their own as food items rather than derivatives.

jgnat, good idea. i ordered old wt pubs and such, but nothing about cult recovery. i completely messed up when i talked to my husband, and it appears i pushed him further in...and he is nearly shunning me now in a way...he is just different. i hate this cult. they are playing with peoples lives cruely while saying over and over how loving the arrangment is...loving provision of turning people against those who truly love them.

ann...oh you are so right that is exactly how it went down!
i actually compared it to transplants and other such procedures....i reminded her that all medical procedures have a risk associated with them. i will focus on the vaccines and such next time...where in the bible does it break down fractions? she will be stumped.
she is planning to continue this blood discussion next week. i may just ask about menstruation. us ladies aremt exactly pouring it out in the dirt....why would jehovah make us bleed so much? just want to hear her response to that...
