Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?

by DocHouse in

yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.

many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.

but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

Is this what a post from the bethelite theocratic war room looks like?

( we all know they read the forums )

What do you think of a Movie about New World

by paradisebeauty in

it looks like the movies about end of the days and the fantasy movies are very much in fashion.

do you think a movie about the end of the system and the life in the new system could captivate the audiences?.

after all more than 90 % of americans are christians and say they believe in the bible.

There'd likely be some wild plot twist, post Armageddon.

Some New World Society Radicals (NWSR) develop a Conduct Cloaking Device (CCD) that enables them to live a secret double life far from the prying eyes of ~~Jehovah~~ the New World Governing Body (NWGB).

That way they can do whatever they please without detection.

Sounds familiar for some reason...

how many of us would get up and "start your time" by 6:00am or earlier?.

i sure did my fair share and convinced many others to join me semi-regularly.. we'd stand out in front of "somewhere/something", you remember?.

donut shop, 7-11, liquor store ( genius ), driving to laundry rooms or coin-op's, etc... anyway, this past sunday i was pumping fuel for the long trip home early in the morning out of l.a. to norcal, when i spotted a young, energetic version of myself 20 years ago.

It really was 6 hours.

We were on a 12 hour road trip.

Anyway, this past Sunday I was pumping fuel for the long trip home early in the morning out of L.A. to NorCal, when I spotted a young, energetic version of myself 20 years ago. All zealous and fearless. 25 year oldish witness with bible and JW.ORG banner sticking out of the top of it.

It was like a little billboard poking right out of his bible ( from god )

So he engages me.

I immediately interrupt, telling him that I was a JW for 25 years and no longer attend, not DF'd or DA'd. I pointed to my wife in the truck and mentioned that she still attends all of the meetings. He sort of sputtered. It broke his rhythm.

I told him about Watchtower being a ten year member of the UN. He wanted to know where I heard that. I told him I read the public notice issued by the UN due to so many inquiries on the matter. He said I should know better. He said it's all lies and I should know better.

Then it got super weird.

He's backing away while scolding me, smiling and waving to my wife as she waves back.

Then more cowardly denial as I mention that we were studying the Revelation book while we were members of the UN. He excused himself and gave one more "thumbs up" to my wife. She waved back.

How cute!

So, I turn and finish pumping.

My wife didn't ask me what I said to him for nearly 6 hours.

It was amusing.

The Noah's ark : What a nonsense!

by coalize in

1. a shitty start we don't have to wait more than 4 verses of genesis 6 to put our feet in a big stinky bullshit :.

consequently, jehovah saw that mans wickedness was great on the earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time.

jehovah regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.

Most JW's are not even aware of the finer details of the flood account.

The basic FACT that there simply is not, nor has there ever been enough water to actually cover even the shortest hills of the entire earth.

It's total fantasy and I am ashamed that I believed and taught it as truth for as long as I did.

every meeting there's a new plea for money?!

by purrpurr in

wow!

i haven't been here for a while and everything's changed!.

anyway i've been really noticing how at every meeting it seems there's yet another new thing that needs funding or another reminder to donate.

It started as a publishing company with unpaid salesmen.

Never forget that.

What if.....the impossible happened?

what if the almighty gb announced that all shunning will cease, and next minute all the people who have shunned you start calling and texting saying "hi, we're baaaack, we can talk to you now!".

.

what would do you do, and how do you react?.

kairos

Like an international amnesty to boost membership, attendance and ultimately, donations?

Wouldn't that be something.
