  Looking at this book just before I was about to give it to my pre-school little grandchildren is what finally got me to wake me up.

  I only wished I had looked at that evil book with those same eyes when our own dear children were little....

  Ok.. Trying to to think of humorous reasons to go back to meetings...

  - because you're a Scrooge who doesn't wish to celebrate Christmas any longer

  - because you really like hanging out with constipated, judgemental, pious, self-righteous, condescending, schmucks and trying to emulate them

  - because you like holding a bible in your hand and feeling like (or "knowing!" 👀 that --) you have been granted special, secret, privileged, knowledge & wisdom from the Creator of the Universe himself!! - the Almighty, Holy, and Grand Jay-poo-bah...!!

  - because somehow - it makes sense/ is reassuring? - to know that there are millions of invisible evil spirit beings watching your every move and who want to hurt you and kill you or tempt you and also want to do these same evil things to your family and loved ones... and that there are also millions of "good" spirit beings who do nothing really except stand around and watch you while they wring their hands and hope that you do the right thing, while apparently the only thing they "can" do is to maneuver you somehow into standing at someone's door to offer a tract or brochure.

  - because gosh darn it, you really like the 1950's and all the values from that era and the 1920's and the 1880's too.... that whole vibe of masculine control combined with religious fervour (fever).....

  And wearing important-looking special suits and ties and maybe hats and topcoats and debonair canes... And fancy box hats and gloves and pretty umbrellas (parasols?) for the ladies too...

  Yes, a whole era of something appearing classy and worthy and having cookie-cutter perfection...

  ... An idea of utopia with values and ethics and morality gone horribly wrong....

  Haha, these are great!

  Other possible "professional" career-oriented reasons to go back:

  - need to get some practice on cold-calling people

  - wouldn't hurt to get in some chair-stacking practice

  - public speaking and hand-shaking practice

  - learning (or re-learning) how to tie various ties and knots, or scarves for women

  - learning how to sit attentively and even take effective notes while bored out of your mind

  ... It is actually really difficult to think any reason(s) to return to such an insulated, hateful, narcissisticly-controlled and subjugated environment....!!

  Chapter 18 New Boy 50 years a Watchtower Slave

  by new boy in

  2. friends

  chapter 18. my privilege of service.

  it was moved there in the spring of 1969 from the basement of the 124. why is it that people like to put laundries in basements?

  the 119 was the newest of all the society’s properties.

  Why, they are just so special, my goodness.

  ... think of it... special talks for special occasions!

  (Even if they are the same talks for the same occasions, only special. Same special but different. Sort of.)

  Because, you see, the special talk could be given AFTER the special occasion; and now the special talk can be given BEFORE the special occasion!!

  Is this not the incredible work of the almighty creator's own hands and mind?

  Think of the scope and magnitude of such momentous announcements and arrangements. Incredible, I know!! I mean, who thinks of this brilliance?? All to the almighty's everlasting praise, of course.

  Please see Jehovah's very own, special website for more details.

  (Except he doesn't use his special, highly exalted name anymore, apparently prefers the initials of his very special followers....)

  JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."

  by Muddy Waters in

  this was brought up in another thread, but i thought it should have its own thread.

  feel free to add your own observations and experience.

  the jws are so duplicit, and they rename things to somehow justify their own irrationalities.

  Thought of another one:

  It's not masturbation, it's self-abuse.

  Good grief.

  1975 and the burning question/s??

  by UnshackleTheChains in

  2. scandals

  ok. so i'm sitting there at the convention.

  the video comes up about 1975 and the fact that the faithful brother in the video maintained his faith in the bible by adhering to the scripture that says:.

  'no one knows the day or the hour as to when the lord is coming'.
