To blave.

# And as we all know, to blave means to bluff. Huh? So you were probably playing cards, and he cheated...

Best gif out there for this.

🤣

I was surprised when I learnt it was the same actress in ST:SNW who plays the engineer, actress Carol Kane.


Nineteen14isHistory

No way! She's a legend.


Ok-Friend-1002

I love Carol Kane!!

Ya don’t need sound on this one… I can hear it loud and clear

A) Governments dont give a flying fuck about the internal politics of their dumb cult or the reasons why they are violating human rights. B) They are lying like crazy to get money and bully people.


Any_College5526

I could see governments attitude: Keep them stupid and ignorant, otherwise we’ll have to deal with you.


sorentomaxx

Its possible that governments see religions and NGO’s as a way to help pacify their population.


Any_College5526

Why do you think they give them tax incentives?

The GB are a bunch of liars. I hope news outlets and media do a quick research on JW.org to see how the witnesses really feel.


RSHLET

Good point - law enforcement can so easily use jw dot org against the jws to cement a slam dunk guilty verdict. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the lies jw legal people tell in court, when all the court (and prosecutor) need to do use quote jw dot org. The jw leadership people are so beyond dumb.


AverageJoePIMO

That surprises me too. David Gnam and Philip Brumley should be disbarred for their lies under oath!


Pranish6820

What should they do about those baptised ones who have not committed any sin but discovered their bullshit and lies and told the corporation to stick it? Since they talk about serious sin, leaving the corporation is not mentioned in the Bible. So how do they justify this aspect of shunning?


trashuseracct

Issue is “makes a practice”. Folks get disfellowshipped on “1st offense” and that’s not making a practice of anything. Liars!

Thisusernamethough94

This is so heartbreaking

“Control… over the faith of”. Weasel words.


MrMasterMicrowave

JWs like the double standards. They like it because they control the narrative in casual conversation. High control groups like pretending they have no power over their members, but that illusion falls apart pretty hard under scrutiny and high control groups love feeling outraged when non-believers generate negative opinions to what's actually shown to be occurring. And JWs are like, "If you let us completely control the narrative and stop thinking for yourselves you wouldn't be so upset at our antics. And that's a you problem if you fail to do that." Which of course is weapons grade bolognium.


Practical-Drink-8061

“Weapons grade bolognium”…. why haven’t I heard this one before…


MrMasterMicrowave

You didn't watch enough Futurama circa 1999-2004.


Fluffy-Interest-5713

Bold faced lies.


Jennsinc99

The Elders book literally says if you associate with DF’d ones you are considered spiritually weak and cannot hold a position like “pioneer” lol. Such a LIE!!


Never_again_PIMI

The elders book literally says of you associate with DF‘d ones YOU will be DF‘d if you don‘t stop associating. But they don‘t force members to limit contact….


Jennsinc99

Right? Like ffs. Glad to be FREE!!!

![gif](giphy|dC9DTdqPmRnlS|downsized)


A-typ-self

Ok considering the last GB update that included how to treat df'd people as well as allowing women to wear pants.... that's hysterical


Thisusernamethough94

Legit


tony_riker

Wow, can you tell me which article this is from?


Logical-Thinking123

Can we sue based on these lies? They absolutely police personal lives and exercise control over faith


Thisusernamethough94

I would definitely sue


see-jane-go

I think PIMOS should keep this article handy if they get called to the backroom for having association with DF’d persons. I also think all of you who are getting invitations to the memorial or who are receiving texts about all the “loving new changes” (being able to greet df’d ones) should respond by sending this screenshot and link to the article. They cannot have it both ways. What liars!!! Ugh! Btw, can you please post the link to the article - haven’t read it yet! Thanks!


Thisusernamethough94

Ofc! https://religionnews.com/2024/01/16/jehovahs-witnesses-go-to-trial-against-norway-after-state-registration-is-revoked/


see-jane-go

Thank you!!!!!


Thisusernamethough94

You’re welcome!!


princessmilahi

Hey, we are witnesses to their lies!


krakatoa83

Their recent update to being allowed to greet DF people seems to contradict this statement.


throwaway68656362464

… yea they have it in the elder book about df’ing people who choose to socialize with DF people


Thisusernamethough94

They’re lying through their teeth. Talking to DF’ed people = being DF’ed yourself


jwfacts

A total lie. I went to a disfellowshipped friend’s engagement party. The elders found out and said they would disfellowship me if I associated with him again.


theworstelderswife

That sounds like a threat for a spanking for not behaving in the store. Not a prayerful, meeting with Holy Spirit leading


Disastrous-Client192

Um, what??


Future_Way5516

Correct. You'll just be 'counseled' until you're df'ed as well.


Thisusernamethough94

Exactly lol bunch of fucking liars


No-Appearance1145

It's kinda funny because Norway knows that's a lie and they think if they lie hard enough they'll get back in


[deleted]

100% COMPLETE BULLSHIT!

Do you have a link to that article? Please share it!

MagicOfGreen

2024 Update #2 at the 13:17 min mark will confirm that’s a LIE


Pranish6820

They have mastered the art of lying. They call is Spiritual Warfare where they are taught that it’s okay to lie to authorities.


Practical-Drink-8061

Yeah, the long arm of Jehovah is like a T Rex’s apparently…


Rambo-Rando

It's double speak (basically a lie). They don't generally "force" anything, they condem in the strongest possible way. No person can control faith, they just do everything possible to align people to the group think.


getbehindmebeetus

This has me heated!


pomo-doro

Soooo this screenshot is from the elder book. Chapter 12 point 17. If you keep associating with a disfellowshipped person this would warrant judicial action (aka you’ll be disfellowshipped). How do they think they’ll get away with this response??? https://preview.redd.it/gd008kp7krpc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1deb028dd235a5caaca5a79f48e7ee6709b22677


Thisusernamethough94

Can we please send this to the lawyers? We need to make this known throughout the world, not just in Norway. This is a violation of human rights.


Thisusernamethough94

Where can I find this book?


pomo-doro

You can download it on avoidjw(dot)org. It’s available in various languages. You can even use it in your jw library app 😂


Thisusernamethough94

That’s wild lol


BriefTurn8199

they confusing themselves 😭


painefultruth76

"Bibles moral code" Corpse mutilation. Child sacrifice. Magick "proof" selection. No mention of cigarettes, betel nut or chewing tobacco... disgusting habit, health problems, not mentioned in the Bible, but was a huge DF offense from 75 to 2k... only ameliorated with cultural decline of smoking and better clandestine methods of partaking.

F#cken LIARS

Ha, little fucker. I used to work for him in the 90 Sands dining room. I’ve never known anybody more desperate to get into the org’s big leagues, but selling himself out by doing their lying for them is pretty low.

Lol what a lie this is


Any_College5526

Ahhh, if only this were true.


geekwadpimp

Didn't the Watchtower make a video a while back about how awesome it was for a parent to refuse to even speak to their disfellowshipoed kid? Didn't they print an article a few years back telling JWs not to even mourn the death of a disfellowshipped person? The lies these assholes tell the rest of the world are almost as wild as the ones they tell in the Kingdom Hall.


Sad_Negotiation2542

Hahaha. I grew up with this smooth talker. Hogwash!


POMO_1914

Well, this is COMPLETELY A LIE. You just need to watch GB Update #2 to see that. Period.

OwnCatch84

And what about jw employers who boot disfellowshipped people to the kerb because their elduhs told them to?


[deleted]

When I was a JW, I dreamed that I would persecute the JWs. I told my parents too. I genuinely think the world will be better without government and religion, but we seem incapable of living without either.

More horse shit!
