Crazy stories of JW's sacrifices (page 3)

If you actually say this, it sounds like your conjuring up DEMONS!!!

Heh heh... did you know that there was a branch of early Christians called Gnostics who really did believe that Jehovah was an evil entity to have trapped our spiritual entities into material flesh, effectively enslaving all of us? They believed that there was a god that reigned above Jehovah and that Jehovah was a creation that mistook itself for God. This sect was battled by the early Christian Church and guess who won?

So, from the Gnostic standpoint, conjuring up a demon would not be far-fetched.

Poor innocent kids who refuse blood transfusions to be held as martyrs by the JW's.

Or the person who had a vicious dog who used to go berserk whenever the dubs would call around. So the man poked the mags through the fence and the dog took them and gave them to the owner of the house. The owner was so impressed he started studying and was a dub before you knew it.

heard that one a few time down under...

Well, this elder was dressed in ceremonial robes and he was wearing a large pendent in the shape of the WT logo. He then brought out the Necronomicon and the Ministerial Servants started to set up the altar on the stage. As the Ministerial Servants were bringing the 6 "sisters" to the altar, the elder read this out of the Necronomicon: "Ezak iziri golanus, maledictu nosferatu in principi."

Then an orgy ensued. And they killed some bats on the altar and drank the blood.

There was once woman I know who came into "the troof" several years ago. She had a really good paying job as a bio-chemist with full pension and benefits, but the second she saw The Light, she quit because they wouldn't let her work part time. She got a couple of shit cleaning jobs instead so she could pioneer. Anyway after a couple of years, they discovered a tumour in her. She could no longer work and naturally she didn't have any benefits from the cleaning jobs so her horrible worldly parents (whom she had cut off from the day she got baptized but now found out she needed their money) helped out.

Obviously she had no money of her own so she moved in with some people from the Hall, rather than her parents so she could be "looked after." I have no idea what happened after that, but the fact is, she gave up a really great job for this stupid religion and what did she get for her sacrifice? Nothing. Her job wouldn't have prevented her getting the tumour, but her benefits would have covered the drugs she was taking and she would have continued getting paid through her sick benefits at work for up to 2 years.

In their defence, the Goldfinches said the Hawthorns entered their property "uninvited, unwanted and without notice".
In its own defence, The Adelaide congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses said doorknocking was voluntary and followers were not obliged to do it.

The dubs shouldn't have recieved shit, they went into private property that was fenced in and they opened the gate to enter. Not sure what kind of crack the jury was smoking there.

But the true gem is the congo stating that doorknocking was voluntary and dubs aren't obliged to do it? That's an outright lie, whom ever made that statement should be charged with perjury.

No, that's the Mormons.

That voluntary preaching is an example of theocratic warfare no doubt, it's an outright lie and the dubs could sit there and try to redefine the meaning of the word voluntary to suit their purpose.

If you don't preach you will be considered inactive and be marginalised and reminded about the blood guilt of those not warning their neighbours about the big A. That's pressure on the dubs so they do not act voluntarily.

It's the same with blood transfusions the dubs refuse them voluntarily according to the GB.

Mainly urban legends I guess.

When I was young, the talk during the CO's visit that focused on the "weak spots" in the congregation the CO brought up how important it was to show up for our TMS talks, even if we're tired and not feeling well. He then went on to cite the example of an elder who came down with the stomach bug, but because it was so important for him to deliver his assigned talk, he came to the meeting anyway and had his wife sit next to him on the stage with a bucket so he had a place to vomit.

The CO went on to say, "Now I'm not saying you should take it to THAT extreme, but you get the point."
