Anthony Morris III - example to the flock - example to the elders

by LogCon in

i find it curious that so many are offended at the comments used by anthony morris iii.. when he publicly states that colourful socks, tight pants and spanx are not part of a christians life, he is teaching a lesson.

the lesson for the flock is not to wear colourful socks, tight pants and spanx.. however,.

the lesson to all the congregation elders is to ensure that these lessons are driven home in their respective congregations.

If anyone else said those sort of things they would be hung!

This tight pants thing is really affecting people.

My family has known I'm an apostate

by cognac in

i found out that my husband has not only gone to the elders, but has been going to members of my family about me over a period of a few years.

this piece of news is just so depressing.

i've been wondering how my family knew i didn't go and thats why so many of them have becoming more and more distant.

I don't think I've ever felt so betrayed...

This is the feeling that I have about my wife.

The things that she has said to MY family (as well as, more lately, hers) and the elders, all behind my back, simply infuriates me.

I told her I would have preferred that she had slept with someone.

As most are saying here, it's what we've been taught.

It is in our best interests to be completely dependent on the group.

Will the Watchtower Society ever come clean to its members?

The Mormons are a smart cult.

They promote education - therefore higher incomes for tithing.

They encourage civic involvement - hence, acquiring influence.

They discourage waste on tobacco, alcohol, Starbucks - hence, better savings.

The Mormon lifestyle is logical.

JW's are a stupid cult.

They have backed themselves into a corner so much, that they will never acknowledge anything.

Is the WTS effectively 'pimping out' sisters?

by Simon in

i can't remember the topic with the discussion about the talk where they suggested that sisters should only consider ministerial servants as potential marriage partners but think about the implications more.. are they trying to use the potential affections of sisters to enourage brothers to do more and work harder?.

isn't this a form of 'pimping out' the sisters by limiting their attention to the people contributing to them?.

it seems to cross a line to me but i guess it's not vastly different to "only marry another jw".. what do you think?.

The GB guides the girl to a MS's bed. Ok... Seems good so far... The problem is the GB never leave the room!

They will not be crawling in bed with just their new wife. All seven of the governing body members will be laying there too.

Too true.

My Marking Talk

by jws in

back to august of 1988. my brother and i were the ones being marked.

at the time, my father had clued us in that it was coming and had gotten a recording of it.

are we not also obliged to act on wrongs being committed by a family member or members?

I'm feeling hungry.

Let's eat some of our young tonight!

I have two take aways from the zoned out meeting

by Sour Grapes in

out of three hours only two things really caught my attention.

i was surprised there was no special annoucements or more new light.

the first thing is that we know that the org is having a difficult time having young males reach out to be a ministerial servents to carry microphones and adjust the height of the podium.

Looks like ol' Henry has the GB ring-bling-thing goin' on.

Nov 2014 KM - a text message counts as a return visit!

by EndofMysteries in

if you don't know, km's are now online too.

under the heading, "i cannot find him at home again!

" it mentions how a text message or email is to be counted as a return visit.

berrygerry

Apparently you can send texts to yourself. You can now count time and bring yourself back into the organization. Bizarre.

Have you known any JW's with multiple personalities (I have)?

They can be Special Pioneers.
