had you going there for a minute ;).
now you're here... there are several problems with that illustration, as i see it.. ..... 1) god is the one who inflicted the life threatening ailment that requires an operation.
(he supposedly decided what sin would be defined as, then once adam 'sinned', he cursed all of adams descendants to sin, grow old and die.).
I think the greatest logical problem with that illustration is that there only needed to be one "operation" on one "child". Christ underwent death to remove sin and suffering from all mankind.
Here we are 2000 years later and "children" are still being wheeled in for "painful operations" because... why?
Let's review... It's a cult!
a minny man in a local congregation has a beard...he was bullied by the elders to remove it.. then the co came along and told the elders to allow him to keep his beard.
(not as the result of any skin condition or anything).. i kid you not!!!.
what do you make of that?.
Oh, there are quite a few brothers with beards. Plenty of brothers have been encouraged by elders and overseers to have beards.
And by beard , I mean:
11) ( LGBT , slang ) A woman who accompanies a gay male in order to give the impression that he is heterosexual.
yes, the jws continue to bleed their young ones, so far in my local kh 3 were dfd, one girl just turned 18 this month and packed her bags and said goodbye to the cult and her cultish parents, another young 18 year old man decided to have a non-jw girlfriend and decided to stop attending and is no longer a witness.
they continue to leave and wt leaders dont give a damn.
they dont do anything to help kids be successful and live a healthy life.. .
If the newest DVD released is the GB's secret weapon to try to slow the exodus of young people, they better completely give it up. That mess would only appeal to the most shallow-thinking but deeply entrenched JW. The happy ending portrays this friendless, isolated family with late teenage kids with no goals except to study with Daddy and Mommy and act out bible dramas. This as the family sells their home and downsizes so that they can send more money to the WT pedo fund. Rather than actually address the issues raised by the kids about evolution or nonJW friends, it all gets magically scripted away with no real answers provided.
And the video was very, very offensive in the racial portrayals.
In case I haven't made myself clear yet, that newest video is so bad that words fail me. Imagine there is a huge pile of crap. Then imagine that that pile of crap took a crap. Now you're getting close to understanding how that DVD is the crappiest crap that ever crapped.
like all the best comedy this is hilarious and agonising in equal measure.. if you have not bookmarked the jehovah's trumpet blog do it now.. shunning makes us joyful .... "fiends, we are the happiest people on earth because of true worship, and this includes the practice of shunning our closest loved ones...".
That's some great satire.
the whole article makes me ill with its worse than average mind control.. i was going to only include one quote but there are so many doozies that i will post what i feel to be the worst.. from paragraph 6.
"gods organization survives and flourishes on earth because the people who are part of it have his approval.".
the great tribulation has been "so close" for over 120 years of wt history.
nonJWS: "...being "in union" with the GB..."
Sounds like somebody's sharing tight pants with Tony da Turd.
"God’s organization survives and flourishes on earth because the people who are part of it have his approval."
If survival is all it takes to prove that an organization has god's approval, it logically follows that Apple, Inc. also has his approval. WT has new teachings, while Apple has new products. "Friends, are we keeping up with the latest nulite coming from the inspired engineers at Apple, Inc.? ... Well, we should be, otherwise we'll be birdfood very soon now!"
so recently i've been preparing to move out of my parents house, and i've been seeking social assistance.
at my appointment, my social worker asked me for references to people who know about my situation at home.
i know probably nnone of you guys know me too well personally, or my home life, but i know all of you guys have been through similar situations.
Social services will likely need a relative, school counsellor, neighbors, someone really aware of details.
As bad as it is to endure a JW home, don't leave it to get stuck in yet another bad circumstance because you failed to come up with a good plan. Be sure you're not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
as the regional convention ended in indianapolis, mark sanderson invited all the international delegates to come out onto the field for the final song.
as they walked out, they all held a white handkerchief aloft as they waved.
some in the audience waved a white cloth in return.
I thought that was the universal sign for surrender. Certainly, everyone at the IC surrendered time, money, and brainpower in order to attend that mess.

Stuff like this is only for the sake of trying to make the International Crapventions a little more "special."
When I went, it was to foreign capitals where there was lots of other "worldly" stuff to do. I could actually make an interesting vacation out of these. But an IC in Atlanta or Detroit? Ugh. The sheeple would have to fly somewhere else to have fun. So instead, the foreigners are "privileged" to this type of JW entertainment. Such a waste of vacation time and hard-earned money for these travellers.
we have been told this week that all in the elder and ms body will be read a letter from the gb about "make this the greatest month of activity ever"..... has anyone else had such a letter read out in their cong / servant body?.
i presume it will be all about "recommending strongly/insisting" that all these men should pioneer for the month?.
Are they doing the 30 hour aux. pio.? Or have they brought it down to 15 hour aux. pio. yet?
So they reach some new highs in their statistics next month, so what? When the Titanic was sinking the stern of that ship achieved heights it had never reached before!
do gb members poop?.
the question arises because of the great similarities i see between jw land and n korea.
for one thing, the information flow is the same in the two realms; its one way from the top down.
Magnum: "So they dump at the proper time since they have their "food at the proper time"?"
Technically, the GB poops in order to provide JWs "food at the proper time". Magazines aren't just printed, they're loaves pinched off. The videos aren't produced, they're defecated. Talk outlines aren't written and presented, they're dumped and flushed straight out to the "friends".
