  what unique to jws phrases do you remember?

  something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.

  there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.

  09-2019 Monthly Broadcast

  underwhelming as usual.

  of note is the ridiculous amount of time spent encouraging the r&f to "do the math" on various chronologies.

  oh if only they would do the math from their own publications on the error of 607/1914.

  Any Dogs Returning to their Vomit Here?

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was wondering if any long time jw's that are now pomo's here on the forum now act in a leadership role within another religious organization?.

  i do and would enjoy a bit of conversation with this (i assume minority) "sub-culture" of ex-jw's.

  Conducting the B School

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so how many of us who conducted the b school have the reoccurring flashbacks every damn time we now pomo, put our hand on blinds to raise or lower them?.

  we either fiddled with lowering them every week as we got the school underway or fiddled with to raise them to "listen in to the #3 in progress" up front.

  every time i grab the pull string or the louver adjustment wand anywhere i inevitably have a kh ops moment of pause.

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the org did anyone ever tell you that its not about the numbers...yet the reality was that it was all about the numbers?.

  i ran into a pimi who asked why my family and i were awol.

  i told him that it was private and personal and i wasn't at liberty to discuss it.

  2 Gallons of Coffee

  by Solzhenitsyn in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  that is how much coffee me and another elder went through as we camped out all night until 7 a.m. outside the home where suspected jw fornicators we're staying.

  little did i know what a powerful contrast that would prove to be when as an elder i was faced with another case involving the allegation of severe child sexual abuse.

  we disfellowshipped the couple based completely on circumstantial evidence of sexual wrongdoing because they simply "stayed the entire night".

  well friends how about another update straight from the mole in the treasurers office?

  fact: tens of thousands of bethelites have taken a vow of poverty and live/work in branches all over the world.

  fact: they all get a stipend based on local need, "cost of living", tenure, ect.
