Pbrow ...thank you!!!
i believe the organization is already easing up on disfellowshipping people for apostasy.
they know most doubters just want to be left alone.
disfellowshipping them turns them into martyrs.
Pbrow ...thank you!!!
when i read coc, i was stunned that the 2 elders (theotis french & rob dibble) were on ray franz judcial committee.
i have known these men for over 20 years having done rbc and convention work with them.
they are still elders today which means they were in their early 30's(which is unheard of for a case of this importance to have inexperienced elders to sit on) on this committee.. without revealing myself, i have never tried(but have wanted to), ask them about their on having to judge a former gb member.. then out of the blue, about a year ago, i was mentioning how hard it is trying to get younger ones to volunteer to one of these elders, and he says"this is nothing compared to to sitting on the committee that had to disfellowship ray franz".

"Unless you have been in my situation, it is hard to explain the mindset of a former longtime Elder(21 years), Regular Pioneer (14 years), one was at the top of his game, handling many responsibities on the Circuit and District level, serving on over 50 Judicial cases, including Appeal Committees, various Elder Schools (including Teaching parts in these schools), and even spending a week at Patterson for the COBE Kingdom Ministry School"

...speaking as a woman (read no credibility) who
wasted 50 yrs doing just the dirty work for watchtower,
I would think that with all your experience & prestige,
that you would be so rightiously indignant that you
would USE your huge weight of (wt) power & know-how
to effectively bring down this house of lies!

If not the likes you ......WHO?
Having said that ......thanks for sharing.

always the fashionista amongst the governing body members, mr. stephen lett recently showed us how even an older man can display a certain swagger, a certain je nesais quoi that says, "i'm one of the anointed, and you're not!".
he does this in so many ways, but the one i want to draw our attention to is the way he rocked the theocratic fashion world with his wearing of a very manly pinkie ring in a recent wtbts video.. - -.

I would have left earlier. Ha!"

Ditto!
in the last 6 months my family and i have stopped attending cold turkey.
it is incredible to me to see how our so called friends have dropped us like we were a snake covered in spiders.
we actually havent really said anything to anybody about why we stopped.
Well SkinnedSheep ......we all think you are just fine
with us!
Good for you & the family for standing up for what
you believe is right!
How about going like that to the memorial!
had you going there for a minute ;).
now you're here... there are several problems with that illustration, as i see it.. ..... 1) god is the one who inflicted the life threatening ailment that requires an operation.
(he supposedly decided what sin would be defined as, then once adam 'sinned', he cursed all of adams descendants to sin, grow old and die.).
Aww Defender of truth.........that was a mind bender
of an explaination!!! .........and a very good one too!
No wonder it took 2 hours to put it on paper. Shows
how convoluted this crap is...the contortions wt goes
thru to write something that seems to make sense...
but upon examination doesn't...is rather amazing!

Those bastards are just laughing at how easy it is
to impress the little rank & file members.
Thanks for doing this unravelling of their foolishness
and deception!

can we compile a list of things you have to believe as a jw.
perhaps with references.
no conscience matters included..
Must get baptised.
Must go to the meetings.
Must go door to door,
Must report 'your time'.
Must think the same as gb.
Must follow gb.
Must kiss gb's asses.

nathan h. knorr was the third president of the watchtower society.
he was by mentality a clerk, with a fondness for instructing young male brooklyn bethel inductees as to what was the "right handling" of their genitalia.
it goes without saying he was a liar, a fraud, a hypocrite, a swindler, a conman and a thoroughly evil bastard, and let f.franz perpetrate the great 1975 hoax to boost membership, murdering the hopes of millions of elderly victims while so doing.. joseph f. "judge for 4 days" rutherford was the second president of the watchtower society.
Suav......those are not canes. They are wacking sticks!
Those guys lined along the walk on the right have them &
so do Knorr, Rutherford & Covington. Look closely at R's
right hand.

Now being the irreverent woman that I am, I would
title this... "There is a sucker born every minute"
or
"Hey this is fun ...I love this fu#$&%# job!"
or
"Geez I just can't stop laughing ...bloody stupid people!"
or
"God for sure picked us 'cause we are all hung like horses!"

when i used to read the bible on a regular basis, i loved "paul's" writings.
anyway, can you see what is actually being said in the following passage?
" if anyone thinks he is a prophet or is gifted with the spirit, he must acknowledge that the things i am writing to you are the lord's commandment.
Makes sense, right. No wonder the GB are so bat-shit crazy. They say," We are the Channel of God. If you were REALLY anointed, you would give witness to the FACT that we are the channel, thereby proving that you are a "true Christian." Since you don't acknowledge our position that we claim to have, you can't be a "true Christian" because all "true Christians" recognize that we say comes from Jeehoober. Why? Because we say so."

This is what drives us nuts ...the catch 22.
Round and round we go!

No matter how easy it is to explain all the wt failures,
and the shunning & blood policies ....the watchtower has
set-up and prepped the deluded dubs with 'get out of jail'
clauses AND if you don't believe in them, you will be made
redunant & silenced with 9 little words.
