  Even my husband looked momentarily disturbed by it...but he quickly clarified for me that "The Society" didn't say that, other surveys did.

  today, thanks to a brave do and my colleague elkatire 1980, we make make public the manual, guidelines for traveling overseers (tga-s), of which existence many suspected, but even in english, it wasnt available.. from its very title page, this book indicates in bold letters:.

  it should not be shown to others, nor should any portion of it be reproduced.

  note: for now, this book is only available in spanish, but we are working in translating a brief summary in english, hoping that someone from the english congregations makes it available to you soon.. http://hildeydesa.blogspot.com/2014/06/pautas-para-los-superintendentes.html.

  This week's WT study...made me so sick.....

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this week's study april 15th 2014 was called "do you see the one who is invisible?".

  it was perhaps one of the most depressing, controlling, fear-mongering, stress inducing, doctrinally incorrect, hate-inspiring, judgemental, cult-like, irrational, hyped-up, critical, crazy, stretched out, fanciful, illogical, burdensome, inflated, coersive, manipulative, and brain-snappingly weird stuff i have read for some time.... (but i'm sure it was just a rehash and repeat of previous stuff...for the new masses....).

  i had to keep up a sane appearance while in the hall, and even answer some garbage while this was being 'studied'... my cognitive disonance must be so strong now, because i found this one of the hardest ones to endure....now that i am home, i have poured a stiff drink and am trying to clear my head...... one paragraph was classic:.

  I just noticed this tactic

  by problemaddict in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in reading terrys latest post, if made me think of something that exists and many of us have experienced but i have not really put into a logical thoughts process before.

  in terrys 4 facts everyone should know about jw's, the second one referrs to the walsh trial where unity is said to be more important than truth, in no uncertain terms.. this made me think about how one would bring up this fact.

  my mind wandered to the beginning of my fade, when inevitably, many of us open up our mouths and say too much.

  When I mentioned the full letter regardimg the new donation scam to the sister i studied with, I basically told her that i knew about the chanhe before the congregation did, and thoigh they only heard/saw page one, there were more pages. she asked where i got it, i said the internet, she asked was it from jw.org, i explained that it was not however the info proved to be true, she wanted nothing to do with it. they are so brain washed they wont even accept the real truth...

  Troll Accusations

  by Frazzled UBM in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i 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.

  HeyThere

  Fraz thank you for this. i never experienced it myself but did read a few threads where it happened and smh it was sad to see. even if the poster is trolling, why not show them what real caring is...and no attacks. dont risk scaring away even 1 person trying to fimd ttatt...
