This weeks service meeting! More craziness.....

by stuckinarut2 in

so this weeks service meeting is so full of "crazy".

a whole 15 min part devoted to trying to indoctrinate everyone on how to "explain our beliefs on 1914".

then another 15 min part called "a tool to help us explain our beliefs about 1914".

ducatijoe

OMG... It is so vivid ! the BS about 1914... Hey , I will be dead by 2030... just wish I could see the November WT of 2029 to see how they will explain all this shit then...

You younger guys will have to watch for that!

Scared of Armageddon?

by naja in

in the light of the following promises made by jehovah, how can there be an armageddon?.

genesis 8:21: ... so jehovah said in his heart: never again will i cursethe groundon mans account, for the inclination of the heart of man is bad from his youth up;and never again will i strike down every living thing as i have done.. genesis 9:15, 16: and i will certainly remember my covenant that i made between me and you and every living creature of every kind;and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all flesh.and the rainbow will occur in the cloud, and i will certainly see it and remember the everlasting covenant between god and every living creature of every kindon the earth.. does it make sense to say "i will never kill you by a flood, next time i will use fire?

just asking.. .

Warwick Building Project Fluff Stories

by bruh2012 in

talking about an article that makes you want to throw-up in your mouth- wt-study jan 15, 2015 the offered themselves willingly.. amazing the psych job of selling your business, moving your entire family, quiting your job to be a "temporary" worker at the new world headquarters!.

throw your livelyhood away only to get the "feeling" that jehovahs is blessing you!

i wish there was away to track the psych job during patterson and other major projects of what happened to all the "friends" that sold and got rid of their livelyhood then and where are they now.. did you ever sacrifce it all for a building project only to be left with nothing after your "spiritual high"?.

ducatijoe

LITS... What a story! Hope you are doing well now. I too workrd on Sands as well as Willow, Furman Street and over 50 K-halls.

I am doing great now that I am out. Never happier. Best to you and your family

What are the ODDS Jehovah's Witnesses are the ONLY TRUE religion?

by Terry in

the entire organization shoves all its chips into the center of the table on one bet: they are the only mouthpiece of god on earth.. what are the odds to this bet?.

the statistic for christian denominations make jw's 1 out of 41,000 opinions.. a chance of 1 in 41 thousand is a tough bet.. _________________________.

Did You Ever Communicate With Disfellowshipped Persons?

by minimus in

jw
friends

we were supposed to treat them as dead!

did you follow this direction?

.

ducatijoe

My son got DFed and I did help him, even though I was an Elder at the time. I was concerned about his being able to make it through.

He did get re instated and is doing well. I however have chosen to no longer support this organization for many reasons.

by piztjw in

i thought to give a more comprehensive summary, however this pretty well sums up the entire wasted day.. stand and sing.. prayer thanking the gb.. only jw's will survive "the end".. do more.

preach more.

indoctrinate your children more.

ducatijoe

jw
friends

well if any did not know, mike and kim were shut down on you tube.. they are back on under kim mikey.. .

WWHHEEWW... Good to see the tide turn in favor of Mike and Kim...

If some of you have a problem with a couple who work hard putting out videos or anyone else on this site, why not message them direct and talk personally about it.

Publicly making critical statement reminds me of why I left the Organization!
