  Funny News From My Old Congragation - Elder Fight!

  by pale.emperor in

  i haven't stopped laughing since i heard this.

  a pimo in my last congregation told me that an elder has been removed from his elder position.

  apparently he grabbed another elder by the throat, put him up against a wall in the back room and punched him in on the nose... during an elders meeting on thursday evening after the meeting.. the congregation were running round like headless chickens wondering what to do?

  I find it amusing that some people are still so scawed of JWs that the very thought of hypothetically "partaking" of bread and wine you are offered personally at a public meeting is enough to cause them to gasp, "clutch their pearls" and shit their pants in horror and outrage.

  Nobody partook anything yet they're just "thinking bout it"! Palm meet face.

  though it was my turn, i told co to present the good news.

  Was it a "shock" the CO suffered or an "attack of the vapors" maybe he needed some "snuff" administered forthwith!

  Sorry but lol.

  checked out another thread on the jw talk cult site and found this new discussion under the heading makes it awkward...i think: .

  hi brothers, hope we are all basking in jehovah's undeserved kindness.

  well, anytime im having a bible study in the ministry and we get to d study 6 in the brochure; listen to god and live forever which has d topic : what do we learn from the great flood?

  I have watched a few "cart crash" and "JWs come to the wrong door" type vids now and a common theme seems to be "we are not here to convert you" or the equivalent from the JWs.

  I love the way "worldy" people are not afraid of "triggering their persecution complex" they just say it like it is.

  I 'm becoming convinced the only way to hurt WT is with ridicule, relentless ridicule.

  Yes jehovahs witnesses are stalkers -religious stalkers.

  Of course they don't view it that way they would call the taking of detailed notes on you, talking about your business amongst themselves and calling on you unannounced as "taking a personal interest" but it is very creepy indeed.

  Buyer beware these are not nice people to get entangled with.

  Unhappy being asked to give a Disfellowshipped Sister a ride to and from Meetings

  by Isambard Crater in

  i'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.

  except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.

  it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?

  "She asks weird questions and gets angry" ???

  Send her to the forum she'll fit right in.

  Have a heart. After all you just asked us a weird question, and if the elder knew you came here you would be disfellowshipped too!
