"There is a friend for everyone in the corporation's clutches"
by schnell in"there is a friend for everyone in the corporation's clutches" -- brokeback watchtower.
i just needed to make a separate thread about this.. forced friends are not friends.
as the great marvin gaye said, "smiling faces tell lies.

Hey, remember when Family Guy had a Watchtower?
by schnell inhey, remember that one time on family guy when the evil monkey in chris's closet became a jw?.
i remember thinking, pssht, they'd never do that.. hey, remember when they did it?.
i am dying to know if someone awake at bethel in the art department or whatever saw that episode and recommended this cover a few years ago.

When 2 JWs have the same call...
by schnell inas i was driving past a certain gas station today, i recalled that the family who own it are called on by a friend of mine, and in a territory where it's hard to find interest.
it reminded me of an incident months back when this friend, brother d, discovered that another friend, brother b, was calling on that family too.
hey, gotta make your time.. those two went at it.

"Brexit? What's that?"
by schnell inhaving shared the arc report on facebook and shaken up my network of jw friends, uhhh... i am now learning how unfortunately ignorant they have become.
so far the overall response to the report has shown that well enough, but it got worse.. a friend of mine moved to the uk from california a few years back.
after he saw my post, he pmed me, essentially checking up to see if i'm alright.

STORY TIME! The Emperor's New Clothes
by schnell ini revisited this story tonight, as i see intelligent, knowledgeable friends toe the jw party line in response to the arc's report and literally any other criticism.
it's a story everyone knows, one that affected me as a child, and here i am, seeing remarkable parallels today.
enjoy.. once upon a time there lived a vain emperor whose only worry in life was to dress in elegant clothes.

Can any deity be used in manipulation?
by schnell inpale.emperor made an interesting observation in another thread:.
the "blocking an expression of gods love" crap is a sneaky tactic to make the shunner not feel like they're doing something evil.
cults do that.

2 elders just came to my door. I smiled and told them no.
by schnell innot playing their game, as i've learned here.
they came to my door to find me with a full beard and a nightmare before christmas hoody, playing a video game where the characters "do not act according to bible principles", and i happily answered the door.
i simply smiled and told them no when they asked if i have a minute.

Arguing with Witnesses vs Trinitarians
by schnell ini have always been told as a jw that trinitarians, particularly baptists, are just the worst people to argue with out in service.
i have always been told it was the world with a veil over their eyes.
the hypocritical irony is that so many witnesses are completely stubborn and willing to believe in magic before they believe anything against their dogma.
