  Notes from 2013 Memorial talk: Appreciate What Christ Has Done for You

  by WinstonSmith in

  took one for the team tonight, and went along to the memorial.

  my first time in a kingdom hall for just over a month.

  it was as expected, dry, boring and extremely uninteresting.

  If you read it carefully it isn't even logical. According to this, only the one's with the "heavenly hope" are Jehovah's witnesses. As usual they are confused.

  Hopefully you don't get a followup visit, but congrats on holding your ground!

  Last time they were at my door I opened it wide and said "I am on your Do Not Call list" with a big friendly smile on my face. It threw them off (a taste of their own medicine).

  You should have seen them trip over one another to get off my porch. Funniest thing ever.

  i'm still "in" and i've noticed an odd trend recently.

  conversations with jws seem to be more jw-ish than ever!

  in normal conversation, i'll hear: "these watchtowers are just wonderful!

  I notice it in my JW inlaws, especially MIL. IMHO, the GB is afraid of all of the information available for the JW to educate themselves on the organization and have pulled in a tighter reign mentally over the past few years.

  It's very annoying to be around someone who seems constantly afraid of the world and hear the canned responses they have to things going on around them. And the judgemental attitude, in my MIL's case.

  My favorite is "the world just keeps getting worse and worse".

  I don't know, but I wish I could use this logic to get some critical thinking going in my DH's mind regarding the GB.

  Typical Jdub doctrine... judgemental and hypocritical. They fail to hold their organization to the same standards that they hold others.

  Problem is, the believers won't see it for anything. It's so frustrating.

  What do you think of drawings like these?

  by DeWandelaar in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a long time ago the jw's published a book called "humans in search of god" (translation of the dutch version so i am sorry if the title is not totally correct).

  i always remembered one sick drawing in it and it always made me wonder how this drawing could be used in one of their books.. .

  warning: can be shocking to people who never saw it before!.

  All part of their subliminal (and non-subliminal) methods of controlling the rank and file to demonize all other beliefs besides the JW.

  Are The Governing Body Being Set Up To Take A Fall?

  by DT in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  the governing body's decision to declare themselves the faithful and discreet slave appears pretty arrogant and presumptuous.

  since most of us regard the governing body as arrogant and presumptuous, it's easy to conclude that is the reason that they did this.. what if something else is going on?.

  remember when steven unthank was able to get the faithful and discreet slave charged in australia for failing to comply with the working with children act?

  it's nearly 2 months now but mrs punk finally left myself (mentally diseased apostate tm) with my 2 non kingdum hell attending boys.. she left when my jw daughter moved out and they moved in together.

  i don't think it'll be long before my daughter gets sick of her mum but there you go!!.

  i received a call from mrs punk to say: 'i didn't leave you because of the religion!'.

  So sorry to hear this Punk... just another example of how the religion helps break up families. Very sad. I really enjoy your posts on both boards. You continue to be a source of wisdom and inpiration to me. Hang in there and the best to you and your children.
