  In Death lies Glory

  by BluePill2 in

  i was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).

  everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.

  we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.

  BluePill ..... thank you for sharing your thoughts,

  and the reality of life & death.

  We naturally seem to favour the 'life' part.

  As for how the wtbts uses it to corral the fearful

  masses into their asylum you are right on!

  All that whipping & prodding! Get to the mtgs

  even if you are tired out or sick, extend yourself

  you can rest LATER. It will be all good LATER!

  Don't have a life now, the real one is LATER!

  "Life........something that you can throw away, waste and use without concern?"

  Wow, you sure hit the nail on the head with this BP!

  2. current

  796 infant skeletons have been found discarded in a septic tank at the former mother and baby home run by the catholic church in ireland between 1925 and 1961.. unwed mothers were sent these "magdelene asylums" to be treated like criminals.

  their babies - if they survived - were taken from them.

  if they did not survive their bodies were thrown into a septic tank and forgotton.

  Have you been Invalidated?

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  http://www.eqi.org/invalid.htm.

  of course, being in a cult and the shunning that comes from leaving it is invalidating.. but how many times have we heard "move on" or "get over it"?

  that is a prime example of invalidation.. sometimes this forum, as well as others, can be a mixed bag of validation and invalidation..

  new study out of the university of bc:.

  http://news.ubc.ca/2014/05/29/better-to-be-bullied-than-ignored-in-the-workplace-study/.

  we tend to underestimate the damage that social ostracism does.

  Sparrow ..that's it, "feeling quite powerless"

  Sometimes with the preshunning, there is a

  feeling like.......if I confront this "cold shouldering",

  maybe I am miss reading it & will feel like an idiot

  if I am wrong.....so I let it go. Crazy making business!

  the waters are drying up!

  a congregation of 110+ publishers will be contributing only $200 a month to the society in the new kingdom hall construction arrangement.

  that's less than $2 a publisher!

  Doc ....with all due respect to you, these are

  authentic people, relating to real people.

  This is not a commercial, not a business, not

  for money.

  Yes, everything could be shorter, faster & to

  the point. They know all about that...

  For most of their lives ....they gave "to the

  point' talks in the MS....watchtowers way!

  What makes a true friend?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so the "model" presentation for this months latest awake mag is this (as found in the latest kingdom ministry):.

  social networks have made it possible for people to have more so-called friends than ever before.

  what would you say is the most important quality of a true friend?

  Did you ever go to an assembly 'cause your

  bestest friend would be there.....& when you

  found her she was sitting with someone else

  & wouldn't give you the time of day!!!

  Ha ha you really have to laugh at the

  "friends structure" with jw's, it really is one

  big gossip pit! Each member is fodder, at risk

  of being the news of the day!
