JustKidding,
I hear you. That was a really big source of frustration and confusion for devote JW teens...
Such screwed up indoctrination.
so, how many times have we heard this expression (or a variation of it):.
"jehovah's spirit seems to be blocked here in the congregation...perhaps he is bringing something to light...etc".
it seems that the org often uses this expression, and links it with the "fact" that god wont bless a cong as much,(or at all) if there is "stuff" or "sins" being carried out.. so, why is it then that the cong i am in is experiencing its best years of activity in all aspects?

The teens in my congregation thought that masturbating (secret sin) would hinder the free-flow of holy spirit.
Young JWs carry such a cruel burden during their youth.
i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.
y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.
arrrrggghhhhhh!
Phenomenal
By definition most things are not phenomenal.
how jws bend over backwards pretending to be super nice,.
super caring, super open minded and reasonable to strangers.
at the door, strangers at the supermarket, or on tv drumming up publicity for.
"super judgy jerks" --- sums up the jws nicely

Hi Zoomblisher
good video Terry
two brothers doing the territory stopped in at my place.

after some hellos and catching up, i said so you folks are on tv now.
Good Job
a poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min.
break between the talk and the wt study on sundays.
the break was supposed to be to allow jw's time to drive their bible studys home from the talk.
That was our favorite part!!! Time for treats!!!
Our mom thought it was ridiculous to take away the break and we still had fun time for about 15-20 min...lol
at our service meeting we saw the video of a jw explaining his beliefs about 1914.. it was.....well, "underwhelming" does not do it justice.
what is below "underwhelming"?
"boringly tepid"?.
My 1 sentence summary: "A moron explaining nonsense to a nitwit".
Best summary ever!
just in case any of you were wondering: let's review: it's a cult!.
