New explanation of Gog of Magog: Two Gogs?

by leaving_quietly in

i just finished watching the recording of the talk at the annual meeting that re-explains gog of magog.

i caught something not previously talked about, that i can recall.. gog of magog is thought to be a coalition of nations that attach god's people during the great tribulation.

this is from ezekiel 38 & 39.. gog and magog in revelation 20 represents those with the same attitude as gog of magog.. thus, the new teaching (maybe not new, but i'll have to research this) is that gog in ezekiel is not the same as gog in revelation 20. two different gogs, happening about a thousand years apart.. .

Darth Fader The Sequel

I think I remember reading somewhere that if a JW elder is going to give the memorial talk then they are *required* to use the WT outline (maybe someone else can confirm this?).

I can remember being at a "worldly person's" memorial. It was held at the deceased person's home in the garden. All of the deceased person's family were JW's. A relative elder gave the talk using the JW outline. Many of the deceased person's "worldly" friends were also in attendance. They sat through the drivel respectfully (albeit bewildered, knowing that the deceased was NOT a believer in anything JW whatsoever). Once the talk was over a particularly close friend of the deceased stood up and invited anyone in attendance to share recollections, stories, or say some words about the deceased. The elder who gave the talk quickly squashed those efforts and clumsily said that the "service was over" and dismissed everyone. I WAS MORTIFIED!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully, the "worldly friends" that were summarily dismissed immediately broke into song all together (probably 20 of them) and sang "Amazing Grace" right there in the faces of the pompous JWs' as they filed away.

What an embarrassing display of self-righteousness by these JW's.

An Elder said: 'They're in prison for a reason'

by NAVYTOWN in

jw
friends

several years ago, i was studying the bible (jw literature) with an ms from the local congregation.

i happened to mention that i had several pen pals who were incarcerated in various prisons.

no matter what crimes they committed, i said i saw them as fellow human being who deserved to have a friend to write to.

JW Info-Commercial Memorial Service

by William Penwell in

i attended a jw memorial service about 2 years ago and the speaker i thought gave a good eulogy to the diseased even though he quoted a few scriptures.

just recently i attended another jw memorial and the sermon was about 10 minutes on the person and the rest a big info-commercial with a scripture quoted one after the other.

i did not keep count but i would think the speaker read about 10 - 12 scriptures.

The last few memorials I have been to have left me feeling completely empty and angry. There was no celebration of the person (in these cases recently it was people who I truly loved and respected). Just the droning on about the cult.

I have been going to JW funerals and weddings my entire life. I HATE THEM!!!!!! For all the reasons stated above. Further proof this is just a cult religion created to support a once powerful publishing company and now has been transformed into a real estate company. Members cannot even die and be mourned without spending the majority of the time promoting the cult.

BEARDS: Why JW men don't have them

by 00DAD in

i know this has been dished over before, but when i was doing some research i discovered a couple of interesting points.

as far as i can find, there is only one wt article that implies that jw men should not have beards.

It is a means of emasculating men (eunuchs are much easier to control, so are steers) through control of every single bit of their lives including the hair that grows out of their face. Grown men have a say over how other grown men groom their face? How about their hairy knuckles? Why not "noob-lite" on the proper grooming of scrotums? What is stopping them?

Killing In Self Defense

by Cold Steel in

the man was moving around in the darkness of j's home with a gun.

he was certain j. and his family weren't there, but he was wrong.

when a door suddenly opened and a dark figure fumbled for the hallway light, he had only a moment to act.
