  Have You Been “Gaslit”?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  gaslighting is a form of sustained manipulation that causes the victim to question or doubt their sanity, judgment and memories.

  it’s a form of emotional abuse.

  i think jehovah’s witnesses have been gaslit.

  In today's wt study, June 6. par. 3, wt complains that some will consider it a service to god to persecute believers.( as the scriptures state), but

  that is exactly what wtBtS inc and it's followers try to do , -- to those that expose them as deluded, or the frauds that they are. and

  they say that they do not like "snide" comments , to be warded off by christian armor. -- snide like in german "schneiden" cutting remarks.-- well the truth hurts. it will cut right through any armor. --as amour will too.

  PS: gaslighting the poor flock by images of armored swat teams hunting down innocents, but also asserting that is not your life that matters but the issue of "universal sovereignty" and for true believers:

  For the highest reward you have to lose your life, the hard way.

  the gaping hole in this week's weak wt study.

  2. bible

  for pimi pimo persons: give us one text that says those aspiring to everlasting life should not partake of the bread and wine.

  in the article, the whole proposition of refusing the emblems is based on the personal experience of one brother in the 1930s.!

  all jws partook.

  Should people partake of the emblems or not? OTWO

  comics? jws, have their book of story bibles. and their anointed generation of partakers they watch out for.

  They believe to have had a ~20 year old partake together with a ~100 year old in ~1994, and with that now only ~ 47 year old faithful expected to live past 2074, ~2075,

  why would they have to worry about a scripture justifying not to partake and qualify for everlasting life themselves?

  The GB will be gone by the GT anyway.

  Add cannons and machine guns

  rtn the armament is never a feature in these displays, fake fireworks perhaps . The aerobatic teams of Britain, italy canada others use trainers for their aerial artwork.

  those sticks are magic, can turn, from the pilot's view, the world upside down with the flick of the wrist, to the tune of

  "He has the world in his hand." or " ueber alles " aka overhead.

  annual concert featuring and Army band

  Z: agree, noit just the sights, the sound of the vents are greattoo. the better if they feature the national anthems, without prejudice: the American, English, soviet, french, german.

  serious music. surely approved by the father who made the nations.

  always enjoyed the flyovers, Zeppelins in the 30s, 300 B17 in the 40, night time fireworks targeting the droning wellingtons, lancasters hidden in the darkness,

  Military planes are awesome. Even in the promised iffy new world, they should be maintained just to awe the sheep with the power of puny human creators, and let us aerobatic fiends have the joy of stick and rudder pleasure.

  The worst possible paragraph in the supposed new judgement scrolls that will be opened:

  Thou shalt not build aeroplanes!.

  Also watched the silent shuttle launches from our front yard , the later arrival of the thunder; -- the teeth shaking mars launches.

  come to think of it, according to wtBtS inc.

  Satan is supposedly confined to the earth's surface, --never the less, -- humans escape, gaining freedom through levitation.

  Waton, it might have been a typo

  GT. I am in my 90s, and you would not believe the words that come up on the screen, because I still use the 'columbus' method of typing. (discover a key visually, and land on it) then when returning my gaze to the screen. sometimes they are Freudian slips, I should send/ post them.as they are, often hilarious. often against forum rules.

  15 minutes later about the call, he picked it up and the agent, who had been listening, asked for a Bible Study. And all the zoom attendees went bizerk

  WfJWc: the explanation is clear: after only 15 minutes, the man realized the kind of deluded, gullible
  easy to con assortment of individual this was. a market ready for the picking.

  jhine, good points. I think you are conflating the thread above, about eternity and this topic, about wt pulling out of the thin air the abstention from the bread and wine. and

  yes, the bible can be complicated, and it helps one's sanity to keep it simple. as far as we know, only energy is immortal, can not be destroyed, or created, and is eternal, always was and will be., and so is time itself.

  Liberal vs. Conservative mental health study - what do you make of it?

  by Brock Talon in

  1. social
  2. current

  a pew study from 2020 (but one i just now came upon myself) reported that the more liberal you are, the more likely you are to have a mental health condition.

  the worst suffering group are white females, ages 18-29 where over 56% have admitted to be described by their own doctors as having a mental health condition.

  conservative females of the same age group suffer at less than half that number (27%).. while women tend to have more mental health problems than men (don't be mad at me for saying it, this is what the study reports) it is notable that liberal men have a higher percentage of mental health conditions than conservative women in the same age group.

  What did Jesus Teach the "Kingdom of Heaven/God" is?

  by truth_b_known in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the books of matthew, mark, luke, john, and the beginning of acts are filled with what the authors purport are statements of jesus.

  jesus is quoted as making several statements about "the kingdom of heaven" or "the kingdom of god".

  those statements are often given as parables that start with a phrase something like "the kingdom of heaven is like...".

  not jesus talking directly, but perhaps directing the transfer: Col. 1:13 a "kingdom of the son's love."
