  I heard that a Cleric in The Department of Translation had tremendous power in policymaking but I might be confused,

  As I was standing in the back with my mic there was this elder who would come over to me and get me to do his parts, sometimes up to 1\2 hr long! Stupid lies such as "I forgot my glasses" (if true there was enough time to go back for them!)

  I didn' t think it was a good idea to argue with him so...

  "Privileges"

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  within the organization, jehovah's witnesses know that they must be dutiful and set an example for "worldly ones" as well as for their own brotherhood.

  if a witness fails in setting the proper example, they may lose some 'privileges"..... what privileges did you look to have and what privileges did you lose?

  ?.

  All masculine priveliges removed down to "buck sister" lol,

  In addition, nothing from platform incl student talks and demos,

  No reading of paragraphs at the Book Study,

  My crime?

  I had a beard,

  Well, SOMETHING had to be done!

  :(

  PS Privelige system is a principal way they keep people in line and is also a form of Shaming,

  Witnesses (usually two together) will just lick their wounds and move on,

  Basic psychology shows that information might be forgotten​ but the memory of emotions felt in such an encounter never will,

  Steve Hassan has a lot to say about helping people get out,

  He emphasizes KINDNESS,

  I concur,

  we all know the jw doctrine of life and resurrection on earth after armageddon.

  this video inadvertently explores the flaws in the doctrine.

  "Why don't we just make up stuff as we go along?"

  If you've ever wondered why it's impossible to reason with them,

  My headaches are so much better since I left!

  The question is: "WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?"

  (Some sort of a legend that says men with beards are hiding something)

  Anybody heard of this?

  Later one sister complained/reported that she was "shocked" , she "could not hear anything I was saying"

  She shunned me

  She made lot of noise,

  2017 Convention Video To Be Shown Regarding The 1975 Failure

  by pale.emperor in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go3arnnsfkk&feature=youtu.be.

  no mention whatsoever that it was watchtower themselves that strongly hinted towards this date.

  instead they blame those who "put their trust in a date, not jehovah".. let's recap... .

  These viseos are NASTY!

  For decades since 1966 we actually enjoyed colorful costumed Bible Dramas,

  Of course we are not believers now,

  But these dramas would usually leave us feeling good,

  What I've seen on the internet of these "videos" has left me feeling creeped out,

  I wonder about how active JWS feel,

  "Some people are saying"

  Some people have never proved to be reliable,

  I recommend a book on Cognitive Behavorial Therapy,

  Such as: Cognitive Behavorial Therapy for Dummies

  Your library should have it,

  Quite effective against anxiety,

  All the best,

  Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

  the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

  the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

  Wow this man is thrifty to be able to save that well on a Special Service allowance!

  :)

  I was just thinking that in Canada years ago, all Bethelites took vows of poverty for tax reasons,

  So, huh?
