Is My Wife Awakening?
by My Name is of No Consequence inevery now and then, my wife will talk about how things are not making sense within the org.
i usually just dismiss it as her playing mind games with me.
for example, she would ask why there are so many branches being closed or why so many congregations are being merged.

Wild Thing: My mom and the other elder wives made us get out our songbooks and sing "Kingdom Melodies" to drown them out so we couldn't hear what they were saying. It was crazy!

Freddo found it!
This just shows what small-minded idiots many JWs can be. They can't even follow their own stupid rules.
Let's review: It's a cult!

Great video. Tali Sharot's work is impressive. I really appreciate her simple way of explaining complex and irrational human behavior.
Thanks for sharing this video, BBW!

PE: I wonder what their stance is on women shaving their pubic hair?
I'm fond of a well-trimmed bush.

SG: I think that God could have picked someone better to lead his only true religion.
God only had about 8 billion better choices.

FedUpJW: I refer anyone who claims to be "stumbled" to this Bible verse. Then I ask them why they do not love God's law?
I've done the same. Then I wait for it ... Deer-in-the-headlights every single time!

It's odd Lett mentioned "wearing a beard ... [and] ... heavy makeup" in the same breath (6:50"):

No, no, no! We musn't stumble the weak! Never.
Except that means "the weak ones" end up determining the rules and policies of the community.
What a stupid idea. Why not teach people to be more open-minded and tolerant and less judgemental over insignificant personal choices? Oh, I know: It's a cult!
On that note, I'm glad Lett doesn't have a beard. If he did we couldn't fully appreciate his goofy, rubber face.
