May 2019 Broadcast - Country Music song
by Muddy Waters ingood grief.
had to stop at the end of the song (about 30 minutes in), with much forwarding.
so far it’s been a half hour about anxiety and worry and burdens - heavy, boring, depressingly blah (nothing new there), with the magic jah making everything better.

They don’t even know that they have become Scribes & Pharisees
by Muddy Waters in“father, forgive them, for they know naught what they do...”.
- said jesus as they were killing him.. “... and the man who comes to kill you will imagine he is doing it as a deed to god.”.
”oh, father, i thank you that i am not like these sinners, these unrighteousness, lowly, and ungodly people.” .

Bit of a rant - WT twisting Jesus’ words, (to whom shall we go/ where should we go), etc.
by Muddy Waters inin wt, november 2018 study edition, the wt/ gb again plant the idea about never leaving the religion when they change jesus’ words, as ray franz pointed out in his book, “crisis of consience”, from: “lord, whom shall we go away to?” to, “where else could we go?
?” - as though teachings of decency and love toward others should be found in them only, and in their special places, and not in a person’s own home, or school, or charitable organization, or having hearts filled with love and graciousness, and empathy, compassion.. toward others.... .
they take an ideology (the bible and jehovah) and then make decrees (and commands and doctrines of men) and then bind up heavy loads.... they become pharisees, measuring the tenth of the dill and the mint and the cumin.... and hmm, something else.... ?.

A Visit from the JWs, knocking at our door...!
by Muddy Waters inha, another visit from the jws.... thankfully they are few and far between (seem to roll around whenever the co visits or is about to visit...)an elder and his wife, presenting the magazines and inviting us to the talks, which are "so encouraging".
he had the saddest, most hang-dog expression, as he bemoaned these last days, so critical to deal with, and how the world was getting so terrible, things are so bad, blah blah blah, and every time i looked at her, she smiled encouragingly at me with that bright-eyed, put-on "sincere" smile.
i thanked them for coming, and said, "i appreciate you thinking about us" (after they said how the "missed us" at the meetings, ugh) -- "but we know where the kingdom hall is if we decide to go back.

JW renaming things: "It's Not this, it's ....."
by Muddy Waters inthis 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.

"Sighing and Groaning" is NOT a mark of holiness...!! (Rant!)
by Muddy Waters inall these damn years in that damn cult -- remember how they tell you that jehovah looks upon those "who are sighing and groaning" (at all the terrible things being done.... focusing on all the evils and woes of the world and satan's system) -- and that all this sighing & groaning is some sort of mark of holiness?????.
every negative news article, every bad bit of something or circumstance - all support and become part of that woeful mindset.
and we are supposed to keep on being like that, sighing and groaning our lives away to receive some sort of damn mark from an angel's ink horn, to mark us as worthy of life..
