i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

" who talks like that?

they must be relics of the fred franz era.

Good thread. Here are some that annoyed the hell out of me :

" The friends "

" We are a people for special possession "

" Jehovah's people are special "

" reach out for 'privileges ' to show how you are advancing with Jehovahs 'progressive ' organization "

" it's a privilege to be 'used ' by Jehovah "

All of these just give me the freaking ibie jeebies now when I think of them.

In hindsight- who in the hell wants to be " used ' by an organization- then discarded like trash ? Somone who is mind controlled- that's who . Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Freaking dumb as rocks I swear to Jehovah. Really funny in a dark humor kind of way. Wow. And I was born into an organization like that because of my parents ? What does that say about my parents ? Good lord

Types attracted to the sect known as jehovahs witnesses.

by atomant in

l have observed the types of people attracted to the sect are many times unbalanced,unstable,emotionally insecure types.the jdubs seem to home in like vulchers circling the prey ,preying on the vulnerables.they tried it on me when my father who was an elder died.promising that if you become a dub you will one day see him again.l said how can you promise that when you keep making false misleading predictions.l was wondering if others have observed this phenomenon.

LITS, you are exactly the kind of person that could never fit in with those jerks.

Having been friends for 6 years now, I know you are an exceptional person: considerate, kind, generous, intelligent,perceptive and have a great sense of humor. Knowing how you were raised it's amazing that you have your wits about you.

Just the kind of person to piss off such petty and stupid people. The kinder you were to them the worse they treated you. When I was younger a psychotherapist friend told me people like that resent you because they know they will never have the heart that you do.

It's always been a sore point for me the way groups of people single out and bully someone like that. As a little kid in Catholic school I saw some of that but the JWs have much more of it ingrained into their social behavior.

LITS once tried to do something nice for an older woman in her congregation. I believe the woman had to move away and LITS wanted to put together a little box of mementos to send her, but caught hell for it for some twisted reason. Figures.

The Deep Things of Jehovah(tm). What are they?

by punkofnice in

i just wondered.

.

" Deep Things of Jehovah " What are they ?

No blood transfusions allowed thus many JW's dying , child abuse running rampant with JW pedophiles not prosecuted by law, teenage minor children not allowed to get a college education thus having to work lower paying jobs to further " kingdom ( WT ) interests " , changing doctrines twisting " this generation " into " overlapping generations " of how long the fictitious " time of the end " will last, " honoring " Jehovah ( WT ) with JW's " valuable things " i.e. translation WT leaders taking possessions and titles to all kingdom halls on planet earth to take away money and power from rank & file JW's.

These are considered the " deep things of Jehovah " that shows if a JW has made what's called " spiritual progress ". Pretty twisted
