  Happy Alcoholic Jehovah's Witnesses

  by The Bethelite in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for many years since the witness organization, after i have told people that i'm no longer a jehovah's witness, people would say "oh the religion were people are not allowed to drink!".

  "no they drink alright.....they can't do much of anything else but they do drink!".

  in fact the first place i ever got drunk was bethel.

  It's one thing to have a glass of wine when you want it but it's another when you have to have it everyday especially when you have to have a drink at a certain time of the day. On the construction site we would call it Beer30. That's when anytime between 3-5 in the afternoon workers with a problem had to start having a drink between those hour, usually a 6 pack or two.

  I knew many witness friends who had to be home for this. One Ex-CO and his wife were pretty must wasted by by 5pm except on meeting nights. They would wait until they got home. Even having large trash bags full of empty bottles each month for the trash man to pickup. It was a sad site to see. For me never much of a drinker. With ADHD coffee was the drink of choice.

  To bad. A closed mind keeps you from becoming a better human being. Understanding and accepting other viewpoints and others imperfections is the beginning of enlightment. It's hard but it's better than hating others ideas or thinking. Wabi-Sabi. Still Totally ADD

  Yes, yes, yes we all know trump's dickey is bigger than any other president. He will be known in the future if there is one of starting a war instead of trying to find a peaceful way out. Please stop saying Obama did this and Obama did that. As my teachers in school would say all the time would you jump off a bridge because they did. Trump is president now not Obama so man up and stop blaming others for what he does.

  Did he have a bad man killed? Yes! But for what reason? To divert attention from the impeachment trial or to save the world from a bad guy. Of course no matter the out come the clock keeps ticking to total annihilation. Always remember 100 years from now no one will give a damm what we think. Still Totally ADD

  Being in construction I could see that figure of a half million. Here are the things to look at (1) I have never been in a hall where land was donated it just doesn't happen today plus the wt. Is picky where to put the building. In large populated areas land is costly. (2) This is a commercial build not a residential build. Codes and permitting is costly. (3) Material cost alot today and being commercial build even more. (4) Even though many give their labor free there is still ones who get paid. I knew many brothers who charged for many items in the construction of KH.

  Not to burst your bubble here is another example. I live in a 120 year old farm house. If I lost my house due to a disaster according to my insurance policy the replacement cost would be almost 250,000 dollars. This is just the building not the land.

  I am sure the borg is making money on it somehow mostly in resale but it does cost alot today to build a KH today. Still Totally ADD

  Did You Know Any "Genuine"" Old School Anointed?

  by Number 6 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  growing up in scotland in the 1970s in scotland the anointed were few and far between, but we had one old dude in our cong who claimed to be one of the anointed.

  in the days when it was taken seriously.. i'd be curious how you viewed them.

  thing is, he wasn't an elder, or even a ministerial servant, just a plain old publisher.. but he was revered like he had a hotline to jesus.. the other week i was talking to a friend of similar age to me but who hung around the wt a lot longer than i did, and he just commented "oh him... he was a doddery old fool who used to just sit and piss himself.

  NUMBER 6 we had 8 of them in our congregation back in the mid 70's. Three of them knew Russell personally. Out of the three one brother worked with Rutherford on the sound cars. Most of them did not like Rutherford but loved Russell. The other five came in the early 30's just before the big announcement of the great crowd. One of them actually died in my arms at the kingdom hall. We were standing at the back of the hall talking to her when she had a massive stroke. I grab her as she fell to the floor. I use to joke I could feel her spirit going through me as she went to heaven.

  These old timers I knew for the most part were very nice with lots of history and interesting stories. Nothing like the newbies anointed today. Still Totally ADD

  Yesterday's Watchtower Study (from October issue) "Stay Faithful Through the Gt. Tribulation"

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  this article has all the trappings of wts apocalyptic theology, doom and destruction for "the world" salvation into paradise for the faithful .a schedule of future events is described thus :.

  1) a worldwide proclamation of peace and security.

  2) the destruction of "babylon the great"......it confidently names the characters from this visionary biblical reference, without any supporting reasons.. 3)the nations will then , as gog of magog , attack the wts and the members .

  BluesBrothers it's the same old, same old stuff they have been saying since I was a kid and I am 65 years old now. I like how there is a uncertainty on how they will get the message out. I think they are opening the door on using more videos and less talking. Becoming more of a televangelist organization. Thanks for sharing. Still Totally ADD

  the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foreign tongues....a brother was passing by, attracted by the commotion, he went to the house to see what was happening.

  as soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking.
