  Rule #1. Nothing like this happens in an IFB church.

  by garyneal in

  i saw this on the ifb facebook wall that i felt you all might appreciate.. rule #1. nothing bad happens in an ifb church.. rule #2. should something bad happen to anyone or sect outside of the ifb, decry them as loudly and as publicly as you can to bolster your people's illusion that the ifb is the only true church.. rule #3. take whatever steps are necessary to insure that rule #1 remains true in the eyes of everyone.. rule #4. should something bad happen in an ifb church, refer back to rule #1..

  Yes this place woke me up PDQ but my wife has not yet come to the conclusion that the WT$ is a sham and a racket.

  Checking Bibles for "God's Name"

  by sabastious in

  2. beliefs

  i had a ritual growing up every time we traveled to an assembly or convention.

  in the hotel i would always take a look at the gideon bible's that were always stored in one of the drawers.

  immediately upon finding it i would open up to psalms 83:18 to check if the bible had god's name within it.

  Very tiny change to Service Meeting Announcements protocol.

  for those who want to keep up with the "pure language", i found out this week that at the most recent elder's school, they were told that the announcements should no longer include the following:.

  1. name of public talk and speaker for sunday.

  2. synopsis of all the parts that are coming up on the rest of the service meeting.

  Thanks. Some web sites have what is called a "thin line Bible" NIV for sale. Does this mean large print or small print or what?

  i still cannot call the presiding overseer the cobe.

  whatever.. anyway, i really don't follow what all is going on and just pick things up during or after the fact.

  like when my wife says her meeting schedule is changed "this week" due to the c.o.

  My fading seems to be working also and I will not let the elders push me around. We have a few power hungry men in our congregation and they will hound you.

  It is SO depressing when you just can't get through to someone

  i have been hitting a brick wall trying to pry my boyfriend away from this stuff.

  it just makes me cry that it's so obvious to me how wrong it is, and he's not even batting an eyelash.

  he knows about all of the scandals, all of the false prophecies, the coverup of sexual predators, that elders tell abuse victims to stay with their spouses, that they dishonestly use sources, and he just doesn't care.

  Talking to my wife about the truth about the truth is like talking to a brick wall.
