  Outraged After Watching The May 2017 Broadcast

  ok, so i've just put myself through another months broadcast so i can see what bull they're feeding my still in relatives.

  all was going fine... well, i say fine, i mean the usual cheesy videos, rehearsed reactions from jeffrey jackson (you remember him, the one who told half truths and lies at the royal commission) and propaganda from jw land.. the last feature brings up 9/11 and the paris 2015 attack at the bataclan.

  just as im thinking "how are they gonna spin this in their direction" i hear these words:.

  Met JWs today - they lied about who they were

  so a couple came into the library where i work today and the woman said she was from the british sign language association and asked if i would display a leaflet for her.

  when she handed me the leaflet the jw website logo jumped out at me as did the words 'would you like to study the bible with jehovah's witnesses?

  ' there was a small picture that had someone conversing in sign language but the other pictures were typical jw leaflet pictures.

  I have a number of memories concerning identification and suppression

  over the years,

  Nobody would EVER tell anybody in ministry who they were,

  It would have to be "beaten" out of them,

  One thing I really thought about was a letter from the Society stating

  that we were not to identify ourselves as "from the Watchtower"

  (Odd as this is what our publications said)

  Was Headquarters ashamed of its little foot soldiers??

  That's certainly the message I received,

  How did we get from singular ha-Elohim (God) to plural ha-Elohim (judges)?

  read exodus 22:6-8

  jps tanakh : 6 when a man gives money or goods to another for safekeeping, and they are stolen from the man’s house if the thief is caught, he shall pay double; 7 if the thief is not caught, the owner of the house shall come near (נקרב) to god (האלהים) that he has not laid hands on the other’s property.

  8 in all charges of misappropriation pertaining to an ox, an ***, a sheep, a garment, or any other loss, whereof one party alleges, “this is it” the case of both parties shall come before god (האלהים): he whom god (אלהים ) declares guilty (ַיְר ִשי ֻףן) shall pay double to the other.

  This is a txt message I just had with a JW

  by joe134cd in

  the following is a txt message i just had with a jw about why i decided not to attend meeting.

  i fully realize that this will get me blocked.. jw : you dont want to answer me why you dont go to the meetings.. joe : ok.. (1) the 2 witness rule in the handling of a accusations of child sex abuse.. (2)the covering it up and out of court settlements that they are making to victims of sexual abuse.

  unfortunatley the brothers and sisters are totally unaware of what is going on and the magnitude of it.. (3) the comments of geoffrey jackson when testifying before the australian royal commision on its handling of child sex abuse.

  Elders have been alerted,

  They will want to "talk" to you,

  The purpose of this will be to determine if they will call a JC meeting

  If they do, from what I've seen, this will be a formality,

  The only way to avoid this is to "get out of Dodge"

  PS they are not above BSing you,

  I hope it turns out better for you but that's the way I see it,

  Would You EVER Go Back To Being A Jehovah's Witness?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  Well yeah sure but I would need a lobotomy first

  In order to not know what I know,

  Maybe the lobotomy would bring me back

  to the mind of a child,

  They would then find me more "teachable",

  Things were simpler then

  But then again so was I,

  How can elders say how Jehovah feels?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  when we look at the total universe imagine a jar of sand.

  just one grain of sand would be our galaxy so we may be able to see our earth with an electron microscope.

  with that in mind, it always made we cringe when at the meetings an elder would say "jehovah has prepared a spiritual banquet for us tonight," or "it makes jehovah happy that we made the effort to attend the meeting tonight.
