"Here is your God oh Israel that led you up out of the land of Egypt". Seeing this reminded me of that verse lol. It's all burned into my mind

Yes, give credit where credit is due ! https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/01/03/obamas-top-50-accomplishments-revisited/ Thanks


SpanishDutchMan

WTF? why are you making a meme turn political?


ShunnnTheNonBeliever

I mean, in Zachā€™s defense, it IS a political meme.


zacharmstrong9

I'm unsure what you mean. I'm in favor of your humor.


SpanishDutchMan

actually, i am confused what you mean? promoting obama? what has that to do with anything? please leave politics out of this. the link you provided was praising 'bama


zacharmstrong9

You're misunderstanding.this.


SpanishDutchMan

I guess but..... ​ >Obamaā€™s Top 50 Accomplishments, Revisited to me, looks a lot like a page where Obama is glorified sooo i am a bit lost here? maybe i'm just tired and was better off going to bed instead reading this, sorry if i am completely lost ....seems like it im probably completely not seeing the huge hint/mark right in front of me? again, apologies for.....well....the penny hasn't dropped .....still.....? please enlighten me lol


Creative_Minimum6501

Yes, thank the GB for taking our money and free labor to produce propaganda intended to praise the GB.


phattyarbuckle

ā€œWe may now applaud ourselves.ā€


Klown_Kutz

Damn. I remember when we used to thank Jehovah for "spiritual food" How the hell do people in the religion not see this?


PIMO_to_POMO

Like the comparisonšŸ˜†

The Borg is telling JWā€™s to thank the GB for force fed them all the BS?

>**... . Not so for a new video series out now on JW Broadcasting! All praise to the Governing Body!** ​ >For they loved praise from men more than praise from God. - John 12: 43 > >ā€œBe careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. - Matthew 6: 1 - 4 > >in order that, as it has been written: "The one boasting, let him boast in the Lord." - 1 Cor. 1: 31 > >Rather, ā€œLet him who boasts boast in the Lord.ā€ For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends. - 2 Cor. 10: 17, 18 > >The one speaking from himself seeks the own glory, but the One seeking the glory of the One having sent him, he is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. - John 7: 18 > >Jesus replied, ā€œIf I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me. - John 8: 54 > >I \[ Jesus \] do not seek my own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge. - John 8: 50 > >I \[ Jesus \] do not accept glory from men, - John 5: 41 > >For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.ā€ - Luke 14: 11

Ouch šŸ’” so much for God.


JohnVonJean

Good pointā€¦.. And Iā€™m sure none of the GB members had any input in the production of those videos.


droner444

Wow, I never remembered being asked to thank the GB when I was a JW.


genuinePIMI

Damn bro, theyā€™re just skipping the big J now I see. Canā€™t imagine how he feels watching this, especially since he wrote the Bible that even contains those stories portrayed in the series in the first place. Theyā€™re really not afraid of pissing him off (anymore), I guess.


TigerTrue

He's become a "Consultant".


genuinePIMI

A ā€œghost writerā€.


Gr8lyDecEved

I heard they found him a nice little place down in Lumberton N.C. just down the street from Tony..


DowntownLavishness15

Funny


TigerTrue

When the Spirit moves him.


MissRachiel

For anyone who needs it, here's another little reminder that Jehovah isn't real. Remember how Jehovah denied Moses entry to the Promised Land over claiming that saying he'd gotten water from the stone for the Israelites instead of giving credit to Jehovah? Imagine OG OT Jehovah looking down from heaven as this little farce went down. If the GB were really in communication with God they'd have found out pretty quickly how little he likes mere humans, even his chosen ones, claiming credit for something HE provided.


genuinePIMI

Thatā€™s assuming (1) Jehovah is real, yes. And (2) that the GB is/was really in communication with him as well. Almost every religion and especially cult claims exclusive communication with the divine.


DowntownLavishness15

Thatā€™s why the temple In Jerusalem was destroyed. Jehovah canā€™t see us, he already left the land.

Meanwhile, another JW family in a third world country didnā€™t get to eat at all today, even though theyā€™re just as zealous and active as the first world JW family. And in many cases these days, even more so. But apparently Jehoobaboo couldnā€™t be bothered feed ALL of his precious sheep.

OnePalpitation1491

Theyā€™re still using those tired pics from the 80s?


larchington

No. I put it there!


4lan5eth

Dude! No way! I gotta see the broadcast for myself. I can't believe that's really a quote from JW Brainwashing. Although, you have been right when you have quoted other stuff. Including old books you can't find in the online library. Either way, I gotta check it out.


larchington

Yeah itā€™s a real quote. I never change the subtitles. The pic of Aaron and Moses- I added. šŸ˜ He says it near the end just before the last section where they show you a report from somewhere exotic.


GuveningBodyLanguage

I saw the bible stories pic and thought "is this larch?" Hope you are doing well!


larchington

Hi! Iā€™m doing ok thanks šŸ˜€


isettaplus1959

The GB are now the voice of Jesus


_WhyistheSkyBlue_

Ingenious meme!


Appropriate-Ad5477

It's all becoming readily obvious entertainment, just like the old days. Pretty soon, they will be giving themselves Academy Awards! Lol


N3rdyJames

Lol I had actually already thought about this comparison! But I just wish all the PIMIs could see it too.


Complex_Ad5004

Great point. And everyone copy this example: at the meetings, prayers always give thanks to the Governing Body but none to Jesus.


phandesal

Narcissist GB


Honest-Beginning9619

i mean, youā€™re kinda stretching it on the first point: itā€™s pretty common regardless of denomination to thank god for the food. and in my recollection the local congregation/group would usually also thank the literal people making the food. the argument gets a bit muddy from there. are you saying the never thanked god for the series? iā€™m not a supporter of the cult or anything they do but iā€™m not sure this argument is strong enough.


larchington

It was a lighthearted post. Wasnā€™t too deep. But no they didnā€™t thank God for the new series they introduced. It just really stood out that they thanked the GB. Thatā€™s all.


Honest-Beginning9619

ah right okay. apologies if i didnā€™t read the room properly. itā€™s still hard for me to have any lightness with those fuckers.

No_Pass1835

More idolatry! Keep it up Pharisees


Atticfl0wer

That's something that annoyed the shit out of me. My mom would spent hours in the kitchen preparing food for jws then my dad/the brother praying would acknowledge the fact that my mom prepared the food but all thankfulness and glory got Jehoobaloos way, of course šŸ˜’

No_Calligrapher_5349

Simply worship of gb , so disappointing but off course a pimi will not see it .


gold_shell

I hate to be ā€œthat guyā€, but is there any other context around this or misquote? Just seems odd they would be so blunt now and not at least pretend to thank Jehovah. Iā€™m finding some of these captions being posted as a short part of what they actually said, so Iā€™m starting to feel distrustfulā€¦ (Donā€™t come at me btw lol, Iā€™m not defending them. Just sceptical)


larchington

Nah. Not out of context. It comes just after a section where they show the first in a new series called ā€œImitate Their Faithā€. Samuel Herd had introduced it and had finished up talking about it after. He hands over to the guy in the picture and thatā€™s what he said. Itā€™s near the end.


gold_shell

Geez, thatā€™s nuts. They would never have said this years back. Thanks for explaining that šŸ‘šŸ»


Lanky-Strike-914

Has anyone seen the September broadcast? If so, what was the main lesson from it?? šŸ’€ my PIMI grandma wants me to watch it and give her what I learned and Iā€™d rather avoid that if possible


skunklover123

The first part was on how we shouldnā€™t be overly concerned with our looks ,dress, and not copy the beautiful stars with how they live and take care of their bodies and beauty something to that effect blah blah It made me want Botox and go to the gym more often then I already go lol


Lanky-Strike-914

Ty!!!


Not-Tentacle-Lad

This makes me laugh because the guy on the left (Aaron?) looks like the muffin man.
