Another story... possibly final story

by confusedandalone in

this is the exchange of text messages i had with my super spiritual brother.

it is sad... it is pathetic... it has helped me realize that i have no connection to these people anymore.

i feel free today.

Just tell them you will pay the 10K in 8 weeks or as soon as you are disfellowshipped whichever comes first.

Why dont you call Brooklyn Bethel and ask for their advice -

'hey I'm about to get DF'd for apostasy but my JW folks need 10k off me to pay some credit card bills. Thing is they don't want to take money of a disfellowshipped apostate for conscience reasons, so they would prefer to have the cash before I get DF'd. Just wonder if you have some advice for them? What bible principle applies to taking money of a disfellowshipped relative, or an pre-disfellowshipped apostate relative?'

by ILoveTTATT in

NINE REVERSALS IN JULY 15TH WATCHTOWER

by The Searcher in

here's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.

it may be far more significant than many people realise!.

and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.

it would be helpful to post the individual quotes from the July 15 2013 Watchtower

the crooks have come up with a scanner that reads your keychain remote locking code.

when you walk away from your car and lock the doors theives sitting nearby capture the code and can then unlock your car while you are shopping.. lock your car the old fashioned way, with the lock button before closing the door..

post a photo of your cat - just to complete the set of stupid things people use the internet for.

I was told this the first time yesterday and thought it sounded possible, even plausable.

and thought you would pollute JWD with it?

How about doing some proper research before you paste crap on here?

Something odd just happened when I logged on!

by tornapart in

i typed in my name, password and the captcha, expecting to see my name come up in the top right corner and what i actually saw was someone else's name!

(the name was another member of this board).

i looked at it for a few seconds feeling a bit puzzled and not sure what to do about it and as i looked it automatically changed (whithout me doing anything) back to my own name.. has anyone else had this happen to them?

hey you can call me tootired2care from here in...

Variants of this bullshit have been circulating for a long time now.

So while "the crooks have come up with a scanner" the people who post this shit never come up with a verifiably referenced example.
