it just took me by surprise.

i remember him from a decade or so ago.

he came up with gems like, “weddings are for women, they are not necessary.” also, “if you want to be truly happy, marry an ugly woman.”.

GIRL NEXT DOOR- Great thread. You asked how many of these C.O. ' s thought Armageddon would " save " them ? Probably almost 100 % of them. Sadly, my now deceased parents felt the same way and they were in the JW cult for 65 years or so. Now they're dead without any fulfillment of anything- other than being dead just like the entire human race experiences.
And I agree with you- think of how many talents get left by the wayside totally unused because all of these people are counting and betting their money on a pipe dream ? Very sad indeed. I wouldn't want to die and end my career as a Walmart greeter. Rather be playing music and set a can up somewhere for people to contribute money ! Take care, Peace out, Mr. Flipper

PALE - " it just looks and reads so culty " . Precisely. That's what we are dealing with here- a dangerous mind control cult called WT Society AKA Jehovah's Witnesses . Just as much a cult as Scientology, Warren Jeff's Mormon's , or People's Temple. The control is just as extreme , but a bit more subtly applied so JW members won't notice it as much

Try Not To Vomit When You Read Todays Text

2. bible
tuesday, february 27. let the elders who preside in a fine way be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard in speaking and teaching.—1 tim.

5:17.. those related to us in the faith certainly merit honor and respect.

this is especially true of the elders who are taking the lead.

Interesting thread Pale. Years ago as a JW I did try to respect these elders, but they made it very difficult to do so. The statement in the text - " Those related to us in the faith CERTAINLY MERIT HONOR AND RESPECT " . This is ESPECIALLY true of the elders..."
I found that to be a mostly false statement. Many times I saw elders not deserving one ounce of respect due to their unjust and cruel actions towards members of the congregation ; or even actions taken against their own children , or wives. They lost my respect years ago when I saw their hypocrisy when I was a young man in my 20's in the 1980's. Many times I saw no evidence of " hard work or humility " - just a sense of entitlement, power , prestige and being a member of the " good old boys " club. Of which I wanted nothing to be a part of

I mean how criminal and slave holding is THIS statement > " To turn over to the local congregation of the Order ALL income received from ANY work or PERSONAL efforts in excess of my necessary living expenses , unless released from this vow by the order. "
Jesus Christ ! WTF ? This is worse than indentured servants ! At least some of them got land in the late 1600's or early 1700's to show for their efforts ! This is horrific, I swear. There is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with calling WT Society leaders slaveholders in my opinion. It's disgusting. Pisses me off
