As Freddo says, it all depends on WHO he is, and HOW well liked he is...or if he is the BULLY elder...

in the july broadcast of jw broadcasting tony morris one of the gb was telling people about what the jws do in iceland with the cart work and mentioned that they have plastic covers for the books and magazines so that they last longer, ialways thought the end of the world was so close ?.

Yes, it really is a sad reflection on Jehovah and Jesus, if their choice of co rulers is these turkeys!

Perhaps J and J are just having a laugh seeing how many witnesses will blindly follow the rantings of these crazy fools?

Is there any humor in the bible?

by Normalfulla in

humor plays a big part in a lot of humanity and we all like a good laugh but as far as i'm aware god's supposed word has no actual humor ,of course apart from being a joke itself ,why wasn't there a passage or something like "jesus farted and giggles broke out among them " or something, is anyone aware of any notations of humor ?

all to.serious really.

The funniest part is...wait for it.....wait for it.....

That EVERY group that claims to follow the bible think they alone can accurately understand it!

Hahahahaha

by stuckinarut2 in

for those who now lean toward non-belief in religion or theism or deism, or who identify as atheist, you have to check out all of seth andrews work!he was raised as a fundamentalist christian in the usa, and was a pastor, and christain radio host until he awoke.

he now is an atheist and hosts a great podcast called "the thinking athiest".

you will find great videos on youtube, as well as his weekly podcast:.

Every part from Gen 1:1 through the Rev 22:21 is a laugh... Not to be taken seriously....

"You're going to die in Armageddon"

by Jules Saturn in

i'm sure i am not the only one to have heard this come out of the mouths of my loved ones.

it's a very painful thing to hear, especially when it comes from the people like your own parents/family.

even after i've been told that, they would say "we'll just continue life without you.

stuckinarut2

Two thoughts come to mind.

1) They are using the fear of being killed at the big A just as Christendom does with the Hellfire doctrine

2) Just politely remind them that the one thing EVERY HUMAN who has ever lived has in common is: They all die. Why would the present JWs be any different?

To Fade or Disassociate

by Jules Saturn in

hello to all, so i did want to talk about this topic because i think it is very important to me.

i have a grandfather who faded several decades ago.

he occasionally attends an assembly and the memorial but no longer attends meetings or goes on field service.

stuckinarut2

Fade or Disassociate?

The results are often the same anyway nowadays. You will be treated like an outcast as the gossip and rumour mill goes into overdrive.

Eventually, all your "friends" will abandon you...
