thoughts on this week's meeting

by prologos in

first thing i noticed, a would-be elder with a suitcase-sized 'service' bag.

pretender.

but i thought:.

sowhatnow

prologos, you tortured soul, still being present for mind altering guilt sessions.

ok so someone comments that they once let someone stay at their house, , I always wondered, why are these comments ever spoken?

is it to brag? to make others feel useless? its obvious that someone has extra room for a visitor, so is it necessary to mention it? give gifts in secret.

wtwiz, id be the one immediately recognized to have no desire to be out in service, i carried a bible and a few mags in my purse. no book bag. i used to get very angry that so many pit stops were done, but then i figured later that there was no point in not stopping for coffee every hour. after all we only went out for the morning.

once in service i came across a man who knew what he believed, was good with it, and knew more than me about the bible, so what did I do?

did i get into a debate? try to make him believe hes wrong and Im right? offer him a magazine?, nope.

I complimented him on is faith, wished him a nice day and left, why do i need to convince him that jesus is lord? he already knew. I always wondered what the sister with me thought.

im not in the business of making people feel worthless and foolish, and crushing their hopes and dreams.

research impossible

by sowhatnow in

so, now that nearly all of the past knowledge that jw's has had is slowly being deleted, how does anyone do any research on any subject?.

meetings are pretty boring as it is, all they do is parrot the society's writings.. how is this going to work?

i have to wonder , what point is the service meeting , once you know how to walk up to a door and hand someone a magazine.

esse that was brilliant, lol, thats something Id do, and no one has replied, well I wonder if they are visiting the sites!

I wonder how many sit at meetings and stare off into space, wondering why they are there.

there are no articles in the wt that are light hearted encouraging sugestions on how to be pleasant and loving and helpful to all men of all nations.

of all the subjects a person can write about that would educate someone, instead they choose to bore people to death with mysterious confusing nonsense that doesnt do a bit of good for anyone.

for a very long time it has been constant negativity.

and all the focus is on those in charge who claim they are 'it'.

I happened to have here a july 15th watchtower study addition. and in it the article titled jehovah knows who belong to him, it made me think, hmm what happened to jesus?

in that article on the first page the name jehovah is printed on that page 10 times, the next page 15 times the next 6 times the next15 timed the next 3 times Now for what reason does anyone have to use that name over and over again? Is that NOT using Gods name in vain?

its disrespectful, if it was his name, to use it like it has no real meaning. its

sickenning .

Rivercrest Luxury Apartments

by tezrichmond in

i was totally p***d off about watchtower teaching u should keep your life simple and not investing in treasures in the earth etc while they are buying luxury apartments and forcing its residents out on the street including children.

so i got on with an email and sent it as follows.

if any from uk want to launch a complaint go to http://www.frsb.org.uk/donors/.

sowhatnow

ah, i believe i recall maybe hearing that the volunteers have to pay for food and lodging on a marc and cora you tube vid,

but that was a while ago, so im not sure.

Your explanation for a total contradiction in the New World Translation.

by Johnny Brown in

"for if you publicly declare with your mouth that jesus is lord,+ and exercise faith in your heart that god raised him up from the dead, you will be saved.

10 for with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration+ for salvation.

11 for the scripture says: no one who rests his faith on him will be disappointed.+

sowhatnow

that new gray bible is so messed up i cant stand reading it. inserting all sorts of words where they dont belong, changing sentences and words . its to form a works based doctrine and to deny the importance of Jesus.

ever read a wt article and underline how many times the name Jehovah is in the article? its outright annoying.

perhaps its the only place a single jw can find an acceptable mate to bring home to mom and dad.

after all the g.b. says you should be looking for all those 'ministerial servants' and 'pioneer sisters' if you want to get married.

a whole lot of good acting going on.

lol, i think you misunderstood my point, [but thats typical of my writing, people dont get me for some reason]

I have all the old stuff , that isnt what i was getting at. its the irony that if someone who is a jw wants to do research, they cannot, because they cant find any 'right' answers. all the old stuff is basically obsolete doctrine

its like trying to research how to use an iPhone using a user Manuel for a rotary phone from 1975.

wont work. so now no one will have any reason to look anything up.

soooo, what are they going to teach there for two months???

who can afford to take two months off work? and neglect the family?

so these will all be single young non working people, who can be easily brainwashed.

its like joining the peace corps, but not really.

your sent forth to other places. a good vacation? and world experience,

but then, not being very useful.
