  Another J W e mail

  by NikL in

  i noticed another thread on this site relaying a stupid e mail making the rounds of dubdom.. well i just got this one and i thought i would share.... powerful illustration.

  after the prayer, the local elder slowly stood up, walked up to the.

  platform and, before he gave his public talk, he briefly introduced a guest.

  Apart from the obvious rip off that neverendingjourney shares with us, A local elder might introduce a visiting speaker, who then uses this dramatic illustration, he would then proceed to guilt/shame/bore the hell out of the audience for the next forty minutes. When he finished they would then move into a song, the an hour "study" [no study involved...recital of pre-pared ansewrs from the gb] of the WT, another song then visiting speaker prays for 15 minutes.
  
  When do the two teenagers get to run up and talk to him directly after his "service"? and since when does the local elder then give another "service" after the visiting speaker has supposedly given his?
  What a load of.................

  They did have a disaster plan in times past. Different ones with equipment and so forth in case they needed it if there was a disater. Why wouldn't it include phone numbers of everyone ever connected with the borg.
  
  Also a good way to get a foot in the door of us "ex's". Apply a little pressure and see if we are in a hurry to hand over our contact details.
  
  Let's them see where we are in the stream on mind control......do we hand it over like they still own us, or tell the to p*#s off! Then they can start on us properly....... sounding paranoid?..... yes/no...

  please note that the knocking dvd is copyright protected and it is unlawful to make copies of the dvd, even if you are making copies for friends/family and have no intention of selling the copies.

  there are reports that a number of people have been making copies of the dvd, under the assumption that it is ok for "educational purposes" or to give as gifts to friends and family.

  i just bought a bottle of wine for an exjw's 30th that i am about to run off to.

  on it there was a great quote by mark twain:.

  "twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do... explore.

  Hi all, thanks for the well wishes, it's kinda like a birthday!!!
  Welcome WT=watchtrouble. I used to be an elder...notice the word starts with a small "e"..... not important!
  My course is very interesting so far. It will take me about two years. One thing I noticed straight away with the first basic induction that I have to learn, is how much of it sounds like a typical jw prayer!
  
  So I agree with the doctor. When you close your eye in group prayer, you are cutting out one of your senses, so the thoughts expresses become an appeal to the sub-conscious...auto suggestion, cuts out the critical thinking factor by a degree.
  
  Also boring repitition {every meeting} is a very important factor in having everything that is said accepted with out critical thinking again! So the WTS uses hypnotic principles all the time. Any wonder seemingly intellegent people cant think for themselves...as I used to do too!
  
  Hi Ozzie, how are you? Nice to see you there too.
  Jwfacts, I'll keep you posted when I understand more.
  
  Bye for now.

  i put the following comment on answers.yahoo.com about changes to watchtower revelation doctrine.

  there have been three different versions of god given light in the watchtower publications so far;.

  1. calvin studies in the scriptures series vii- the finished mystery p.151 "calvin is entitled to the honor of having at one time been a papal star .... is called wormwood.

  Hey JWFacts.....they say that in life you know you have made it when you get your name written up on the dunny wall!!!!!!!! You've officailly made it, no salvation for you!!!! [lol]
  You do an awesome job, your web-site has so much useful information, I don't know why they would even bother trying to argue such a useless point.
  
  Need I remind you again: you are new, welcome. So you don't attend any more. Stick around, read heaps more stuff. Get your self a copy of Crisis of Conscience, I bet the longer you remain a member of this board the more you will learn of the inconsistencies within the JW religious [not spiritual] belief system.

  If you were a believing elder when the lawsuits were explained to you.....

  if you were a believing elder when the lawsuits were explained to you, would you remain .

  as an elder?.

  what i am asking is this- if you understood that elders were named in the lawsuits, and .

  I think that as an elder you would need to have some kind of indemnity insurance! What kind of insurance does the "mother" carry? They insure all the K Halls dont they? Perhaps they could then supply all the elders molestation indemnity policies. Required on accepting the great mantle of eldership.
  
  Scarey really.
  
  Follow the mothers instructions, deal with these "cases" as they tell you, do not allude to the "mothers" involvement in any correspondence, take it up the ass when it all goes belly up, lose you home, and probably family by that stage, there is now no such thing as "ecclesiastical privelege" and then mother WILL hang you out to dry, you lose your eldership, get treated like a leper by the loving congregation.............................................................

  Silly baptism stories?

  by exwitless in

  a thread on baptism made me think about this.

  i remember at a circuit assembly there were about 15 people getting baptized.

  there were 2 "dunkers" in the pool.

  I did the dunking one year. Wow!!! I felt at the time it was a huge privelege. I had one toe come out of the water, had to do em again. Yep the watchers were watching. I guess John the Baptist had to be that carefull too!
  
  The next year I was trying to get back into the same detail, but couldn't. Hard clique to crack, but wouldnt you know it, the TV news people were there. They used the footage gathered for a story on Pedo's and the dubz and they guy in the clique who had "my" spot was absolutley full front face on the TV story!!!
  
  Was I sure glad that I didnt get that gig!
  
  When I got baptized, I had an attack on nerves. I was 14 years old, my mother thought it best I get dunked, so I went through all the questions. At the assembly on the day I was soooooooo sick, I didn't get much of the talk, I was in the toilet chucking my guts up. I was looking for our PO to tell him I was backing out, but couldn't find him. So in I went. I must've known something all those years ago!

  Scanning the Obituaries for lost loved ones

  am i the only person here who scans the obits in their 'home town' paper for the names of lost family because you know you would not be notified of their passing?

  afterall, god forbid that you show up at their funeral and ruin it with your apostate presence.. just wondering....

  The dubs in our area are not big on obituaries. Maybe the immediate family place them in the newspaper, but the rest of the cong avoid it like the plague. Too tight fisted?
  A non-dub would wonder if they had any friends at all.
