  Videos at the a$$emb£ies?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my spies tell me that they are getting shown videos very regularly at the 2 day convention(tm).. i figured it may be because the wbt$ wants mass indoctrination using their tried and tested propaganda techniques.. the average elder won't be aware that the wbt$ uses these thought reform techniques so will be incapable of using them himself.

  also, the elder might not put the money grabbing, 1984 ministry of truth spin on things and actually say something good instead.

  we know the wbt$ don't like 'good'!

  Songs celebrating leaving the faith? Not being a puppet, mind controlled, living life, etc etc

  by aley63 in

  i am looking for some songs that are in ref to celebrating leaving, seeing the light, realizing what you were told wasnt right, being happy w your life, etc etc.

  all those emotions about being controlled and repressed, being told what you can feel or think or how to live, blindly following the "brotherhood ".

  The kyrics of Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars, spoke to me when I was leaving.

  We'll do it all
  Everything
  On our own
  
  We don't need
  Anything
  Or anyone
  
  If I lay here
  If I just lay here
  Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
  
  I don't quite know
  How to say
  How I feel
  
  Those three words
  Are said too much
  They're not enough
  
  If I lay here
  If I just lay here
  Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
  
  Forget what we're told
  Before we get too old
  Show me a garden that's bursting into life
  
  Let's waste time
  Chasing cars
  Around our heads
  
  I need your grace
  To remind me
  To find my own
  
  If I lay here
  If I just lay here
  Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
  
  Forget what we're told
  Before we get too old
  Show me a garden that's bursting into life
  
  All that I am
  All that I ever was
  Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
  
  I don't know where
  Confused about how as well
  Just know that these things will never change for us at all
  
  If I lay here
  If I just lay here
  Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

  How are the JW's reacting to the new USA gay marriage laws?

  by purrpurr in

  personally i think this is wonderful.

  i have nothing against gay people and wish them only the best.. but of course i'm in a minority of one, the jw's around me are posting away on fb the most homophobic vitriol imaginable.

  a lot of them are even saying that it's the start to armageddon!!.

  Are younger JDubs as homophobic as the older generations? I felt there was a degree more tolerance when I left than when I was child.

  God Answers the Prayers of the Earring Hunters

  just a small anecdote from the meeting last night.. in the item interviewing a couple of older, long standing ones, one of the sisters was asked how jehovah had answered her prayers.

  her response was "in lots of ways but it's the little ways i think of the most.

  for example, when i am rushing to get ready for the meeting and putting my earrings in and i drop the butterfly clip on the floor and cannot find it.

  camping information.

  by James Brown in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife and i are planning on taking a year off and taking a jeep and a camper through all the 48 contiguous states and alaska and some of canada.. living in florida, i have always had guns and a concealed carry permit.

  but researching for our upcoming retirement vacation, it seems to me that i might not be able to legally carry firearms on my upcoming expedition.. it seems every state has different laws and licenses.

  what does a camper from florida do when he goes to new york or california?

  Why would you want to bring a hand gun into Canada? It's not a nation of gun loving idiots like the USA.

  stephen lett may 2015 broadcast.

  14:45 ... the governing body very much feels the urgency of accomplishing as much as we possibly can, in behalf of kingdom interests, knowing that the great day of jehovah is near....

  ... in an effort to inform you of the support that is needed for this great work, i have the following information to share.

  10 years and Satan finally struck....

  by snare&racket in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i left around a decade ago, life has not been easy, but it has been profoundly better than the jw robotics my earlier life chapters resembled.. my current life was going so well, too well...... and finally the nemesis of jahooha came out from his dark hiding place.

  no longer in gods tent i was as vulnerable as the chinese job and his unfortunate sheep and children.. satan, bless his socks of cotton, has finally attacked, he broke my leg the dark lordy bastard.. a spiral fracture of the fibula and various fractures the ankle joint.. the worst of all his evil doings was the story i have to tell people, it's 'mechanism of injury'..... i slipped on some grass.

  yes the devilish ball rash, got me good.. so now, i sit bored, wishing i had meetings to prepare for, talks to write and i long for the live bombing i would have received as an interesting new kingdom hall event in the decades of waiting on jahooha..... but all i have is some lame ass, american apostates on a forum..... tchhhh.... .

  Piltdown was almost as great a hoax as the bible.

  Methods of dating and intensity of scrutiny have moved on considerably since this debacle, it highly unlikely that something like this could be repeated.
