The Organizations obsession with image.

by BourneIdentity in

as we all know, the highest priority or concern in the religion isn’t about adhering to god’s word or obeying jehovah and jesus, but rather the image of the organization and all its members.

just yesterday there was a talk where the brother stated how important it is to keep our homes clean, yards free of junk piling up and cars clean, because it could possibly detract from the message.

besides those things he mentioned, they want all males to never grow a beard or goatee.

A spectacle to the world?

Why do the jws think anyone even cares about them?!

Watchtower hires off-duty law enforcement

by Diogenesister in

an indignant law enforcement officer wrote kim & mikey to let them know watchtower had placed an advertisement on a facebook page dedicated to law enforcement staff only, looking to hire a fully uniformed and armed officer at $35 per hour.

the commission was for the memorial in a specified texan venue.. the officer was particularly miffed at the hypocrisy considering the terrible way law enforcement was portrayed in the 2018 convention video, where the jws had been herded into a field to be slaughtered by a large group of officers.

not to mention the fact they are only too willing to call police for their own protection, yet won’t do so when it comes to protecting children from potential or actual abuse.. https://youtu.be/-rpcsztnvyo.

Hiring a uniformed officer via facebook? Is that common place in the states?

You can hire police here in the uk, but the process is way way more burocratic then a facebook ad.

Financial Branch Meeting Video Leak

by HiddenPimo in

remember last year the financial video was leaked and subsequently taken down.

is there a copy anywhere available.

my dad says he wants to see it with his own eyes since it says many things about why they really got rid of so many kingdom halls and simplification of literature (such as magazine reduction).. i miss the leaks like that because you can't argue with your own peoples material.

memorial-

a criticism of the wt way is the practice of using 50 words when 10 would do.

this is an example of an aged speaking style practised in the 1930s 1950's.

just look at movies from that era, political speeches etc.

How did you manage to slobber the glasses without being caught?

Re: Elder Boob. I kinda feel for him. He knew that ritual was silly. I wonder if he thinks anything else in his cult is silly?

I dont like that apprach but i commend his dedication. But all hes done is most likely give them all a buzz thinking about the persecution.

My thoughys echo the others. Half empty hall, mostly elderly... i can imagine numbers dramaticaly falling over mext 15-20 years as the old ones run out of time waiting for the new system.

Can you be disfellowshipped for getting abducted by Dogman / Bigfoot / Aliens?

by John_Carter_1912 in

in episode 213 of "dogman encounters" jehovah's witness valerie grogan tells accounts of her, her mother, and her brother coming in contact with the dogman.. for those of you that don't know, the dogman is a werewolf-type humanoid creature.

there are about 7 different types of them and vic cundiff has over 243 episodes of long interviews with people that have been in contact with them.. around the 4:45 mark, she says that her mother kept telling the elders that the creatures was out there but that the elders kept saying their whole family was demon-possessed and that they would disfellowship them.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6ncvszwzue.

by HappyBlessedFree in

so after almost 5 months of not attending meeting, today my husband decided to attend the special talk.

i am sad, frustrated, nervous, but also hopeful that he will see something that he never did before .

lies and manipulation.
