New Watchtower Propaganda and hate speech destroying families (Feb 2016 WT)

by Daniel1555 in

the following is a paragraph from the new february study watchtower article "learn from jehovah's loyal servants.".

7 a conflict of loyalties may arise when a close relative is disfellowshipped.

for example, a sister named anne [1] received a telephone call from her disfellowshipped mother.

Right now I still have room to navigate. I can ignore the DF rules with impunity and I can manipulate JCs I serve on to be sure people are not disfellowshipped. If the organization truly clamps down as I anticipate, then I'll have no choice but to step out.

Committee Chairman - I figured that was your reason for staying in, as well as loss of family, and glad you posted this. I had intended to post a similar comment suggesting this was your motivation. You are not alone in your thinking. I've lost everything myself, and when that day comes for you -- preserve your health, because you will need it. Maybe you should leave now, while you still can take care of yourself, and not too old.

Need to know when the next apostate bashing article comes out

by outsmartthesystem in

so.....the court has updated binding recommendations to include the following:.

"each parent shall ensure that no other person or entity disparages, criticizes, or condemns the other parent in the children's presence, whether it is directly, indirectly, specifically or broadly stated, or articulated in any form - action, illustration or words.

each parent has an affirmative responsibility to shield the children from this sort of behavior.".

Actually, it is technically a "Mockumentary" and not a documentary. Which is typical of BM.

New "most frustratingly addictive game ever" to play - agar.io

by Simon in

one of my kids got me hooked on this.

it's incredibly simple but also kind of fun and addictive.. you start as a small cell and need to eat things to grow.

that's pretty much the game.. of course as you get bigger you can eat smaller cells too ... and bigger ones can eat you.. as you get bigger you get slower but you can "eject mass" to shrink and speed you up (w key).

Eden, the Tyrant, hahaha! Good show.

I'm getting the teams now.- coming after me, that is! Ack, I'm not much good at gaming but 'simple' is good. :P

True, Cappy, in his early years. That is why I said 'heritage' - if your mother is a Jew, so are you. The Jewish tradition is matriarchal in that way. Good question. : )
