  Beware the educated, they are mentally diseased.

  saw this poster on a website and i had to post it here.

  i think it really shows the twisted way of thinking that witnesses have cultured into them.

  they turn virtues into vices, and vices into virtues.

  SURVEY: How many who are still "IN" are really out mentally (Do I need to put " S E X " in the Title to increase the number of hits on it?)

  there was quite a debate on another post about the increase/decrease throughout the wt history surrounding 1975 and subsequent time periods when ther have been major adjustments in doctrine.

  it was said that the stasticis from 1965-1985 do not reflect a massive defection, despite the failure of the wt's prophecy for the end of the wicked system of things by 1975. .

  i see the overlapping generation as another potention issue to cause fallout.

  Count me "in" for family reasons, "out" mentally for many years.

  January 2012 WT Study edition on PDF pulled from JW.org website

  by bnybyt in

  the wt study edition is getting a facelift for the new year.. the january issue had been posted on jw.org but.... the boes hadn't received notice by letter of such a change.. the wts likes to play up every opportunity to have a new release.. this time the jw.org techies jumped the gun and went on to post.

  the issues for download according to their established schedule.. unfortunately, they went ahead of the fds/gb who too late .

  realized the cat was out of the bag, sort of saying.. well, it got pulled off the website, for now at least.. what's so secretive about it?.

  " No, you tell your readers that investing in a dictionary and thesaurus is a good thing and they'll be all the better off when they expand their vocabularies." Back in the day, they gave that sort of advice; no longer.

  i searched for this here and didn't find any posts about it.

  i just found this while searching for info as i was debating a jw on another site.

  this is the most mind-blowing, spaced-out, insane bunch of mess i've ever heard.

  This is the real face of the WTBTS, the one it obscures from the public view; the one it now gives voice to in the Kool-Aid edition.

  In short, I would say diminished commitment and increased living of the so-called "double life."

  By having "sorted it all out" does she mean the JWs, now staring facing criminal charges in the face, suddenly "gotten religion" and are scrambling to comply with a law that has been three years on the books?

  apologies if already discussed - the second cos talk discusses 4 "important" areas where jws need to consider the biblical principles involved.. answers on a postcode ( clue - one word - 2 letters - 1st letter is "n" ).

  should a true christian?:.

  (1) use a social networking website.

  I always thought that the JWs missed out on a very constructive use of the Kingdom Hall property, to foster bonding and interaction by holding informal social gatherings on the property. Then they lament the absence of a truly fraternal spirit in the congregation. Haven't they ever read of the early Christians' "love feasts?" I remember, in the fifties and sixties, the friends really loved the type of innocent social gatherings Lady Viola described above. It did bring people closer together .

  Nice going, Brooklyn braintrust.... that ought to alienate a few more thousands of whatever progressives/liberals remain. The rest will likely just tune it out.

  I personally knew Charlie Ploeger, who served as Franz's assistant in the 607 BCE research effort for the Aid book; we worked closely together at Bethel. He confided to me that in his view the Society "didn't have a leg to stand on" with respect to the evidence. It's my impression that he has since faded, or was marginalized and cast out.
