Direction the elders rarely follow.

by notoneoftheboys in

here is a quote from a w/t article a few years ago.

in all the 8 kh i attended [work locations changed] not one body of elders followed this direction, so if they are not minding the sheep who is?

it galls me that they will quickly act if you grow a beard, or voice an opinion, or ask a question, but when your family fall foul of abuse where are the elders then?.

Yes like the one girl that I can't remember the abbreviation for. Several elders related how much they loved and cared for her. When asked about her suicide attempt, they were all clueless.

'Parents' magazine cover with JW.org cartoon kids

by undercover in

jw
friends

making the rounds on facebook among jws is a photo of a 'parents' magazine cover that shows the cgi jw.org kids on the cover, and an article headline about how wonderful the teaching tools on jw.org are.

(i don't have the time or the desire to hunt the photo and post it - sorry).

i immediately suspected some bored and naive jw doing some photoshopping.

that's an absolutely terrible photoshop job. I could do a better job using MS Paint.

Won't get fooled again ...Moon Landing.

by The Rebel in

jw
friends

so i was fooled by the witnesses.

what can i learn from that?

not to accept things at face value but to seek out opinion and different view points.. hence my question " do you believe man landed on the moon?.

Barrold Bonds

How the fuck are there 17 pages on this topic. Here, I'll make it short and sweet: Man landed on the moon. End of story. If you don't believe that you are a fucking idiot and should probably place a bullet in the back of your brain.

Jehovah Witness Wikapedia written by the same people who write the publications?

by thedepressedsoul in

i took a look at the jehovah's witnesses wikipedia page for the first time and i couldn't help but notice it was worded very closely to how jw's publications are.

the good stuff seems to be very positive while the negative items seem to be very downplayed.

the talk of persecution is enough to get your average jw wet.

Didn't some people figure out that IP addresses based in NYC were editing JW pages?

Samuel Herd 3 min video - the most misogynistic words I ever heard from a "godly man"

Hey Petragplyph, is there a video of that Herd video? It sounds like there's some weird hiccups in the audio . Almost like cuts or edits. I'd love to have the video of it for authenticity.

I sent this to Angus Stewart this morning (Easter Standard Time)

by Viviane in

i just sent this email to angus stewart:.

i hope this email finds you well.

i would like to say thank you for your work on the royal commission, particularly in your handling of the jehovah's witnesses elders and experts during questioning.

Barrold Bonds

Yeah Stewart is baller as fuck and knows JW rules and 'rules' better than any elder I've come across.

by Crazyguy in

well of course this has been a great week for exjws with the great tribulation hitting the cult.

i don't want to miss this opportunity, wondering what to say to my kids most are under the age of 14. how would you approach it?

Barrold Bonds

I usually tell the kids there's free candy in the back of my van. works about half of the time.

Dr Monica Applewhite!

by username in

i'm just listening to this so called doctors testimony.

where did the watchtower dig her up from.

her answers have mostly been maybe's and i think!.

Barrold Bonds

So I got to listen to most of her testimony today and the whole time I'm thinking, "what the hell is she there to prove." Eventually it was revealed and it's fucking hilarious. Great job WT! Can't even prep your own paid expert when you well know what she's going to be asked.
