  Further Education and the Special Assembly Day

  by eyesthatsee in

  2. beliefs

  i had the misery recently of attending the sad.. the bethel speaker looked and sounded like the usual corporate businessman after your money.. during his main talk, he praised a recent bethel member who left his college (aka university) course early to pioneer and join bethel.. that followed experiences from window cleaners, unemployed, parents home-schooling (aka child abuse - it is a basic human right to be educated) their kids and those baptised as children (youngest was 10).. the brainwashed dubs applauded every ruined life paraded on the platform.. these bethel speakers have been around long enough to know exactly what they're doing - they are evil men, ruining peoples' lives, breaking up families and masquerading as holy men.. their time will come when they face god - too late for the many ruined by their filthy lies and false hopes.. sorry to sound bitter, but to my shame i had a part in this cult as an elder.

  what part of my brain did i lose to not see through this rubbish?.

  better late then never though.

  During his main talk, he praised a recent Bethel member who left his college (aka university) course early to pioneer and join Bethel.

  That followed experiences from window cleaners, unemployed, parents home-schooling (aka child abuse - it is a basic human right to be educated) their kids and those baptised as children (youngest was 10).

  The brainwashed dubs applauded every ruined life paraded on the platform.

  It makes me sick to my stomach when they try to show "see YOU can be happy putting Jehovah first in your life. GIVE UP everything and make the sacrifices, Jehovah will bless you WHILE the WTS is worth billions. They continually want your $. Complete caca in my book and I refuse to clap for these brothers who are known for "twisting the truth" with the ones they interview. I know from experience and when the brother wanted me to "allude" something else I said "absolutely not, find someone else or go with what I intend on saying".

  Chaperones...

  how would you feel..when you are alone with someone, that they are your friend, nothing more than just a friend, opposite sex.

  just doing nothing but watching "that 70's show", laughing your butts off.

  and then the next day, you have a meeting, and the elders come at your neck about being alone with the opposite sex, who happens to be your friend since second grade!

  JW or not if I had a 15 year old kid I would make sure I was home. For the elders to get involved is crazy, this is a parent's choice on how they want to raise their child.

  i'm sure the legal, public relations and other depts.

  are all asking the gb how to handle this situation.

  and i'm convinced the gb is scratching it's head trying to decipher j's spirit direction in all of this.

  It will be interesting to see where they go with this. The book is out and they cannot control people emailing it to friends.

  What's The Watchtower So Paranoid About Anyway?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so, you see a hidden book (in this internet age), so you view a "confidential" letter, so you record a meeting?.

  the watchtower thinks they are entrusted with special communication that ultimately comes from god.

  only special ones can be privy to the inner most holy of the watchtower society.. they obviously feel they have been enlightened by god & his governing body to demand whatever allegiance they feel is deserved.. yet, quite simply, they are full of shit.

  But do they REALLY believe their own BS? I don't know.

  As George Costanza (character in Seinfeld) said "just remember, it's not a lie if you believe it."

  Copyright, piracy, plagarism, "Fair use": What are they?

  by Lady Lee in

  2. friends

  to be really legal and picky about it if you were to quote me further down in the thread it would be legal to say something like.

  it still belongs to them.

  and there is no way they would give that kind of permission.
