If I win the lottery

by eyeuse2badub in

i haven't yet won the state lottery but i purchased a lottery ticket last night.

if i win the lottery, it's $150 million.. if i win, my name is publicly announced and of course my picture gets into the news.

i will probably get df'ed.. however, will the wtbts accept a hefty "donation' from my 'lucky' winnings?

Suicide or Real Freedom? - My Story As One Of Jehovah's Witnesses

by dubstepped in

"sometimes i think the only thing i could do that wouldn't upset someone would be to kill myself.".

those were the frustrated words of my friend as we stood out in his large yard in the country, just about to enjoy a nice bonfire on a beautiful night.

what was it that could have been a lesser evil than killing himself?

Wonderful post. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I noticed he shakes his head back and forth to disagree when he says a statement he knows is not true. He's purposely lying up on the stage. Happened like four or five times. What a piece of @$&(.

Honestly he looks and acts like a clown. I really think he has serious mental issues.

He is not in the same reality. Cartoonland is more like it for him.

A question for the shunned re: hide or seek

by dubstepped in

so here's my question as a newly daed person that is summarily shunned.

do you hide from family and act like you don't exist or do you let them know you're still here and seek them out?

they want you to be dead, like you no longer exist, because strict avoidance makes it easier on them.

I don't have family in but DA'd a year ago. Some JW's are such cowards they literally run away from me in my hometown.

I say do whatever brings you peace on a case by case basis, especially with relatives or former close friends. Personal peace is the main thing. Just my two cents.

Just had a former elder friend tell me, “This Overlapping generation is crap.

by John Aquila in

last night i ran into a former elder friend, he is in his late 70s.

he asked how i was doing and i asked how he was doing.

then out of the blue he tells me; .

I told the elders in my DA meeting with them a year ago " ...not to mention this overlapping generation doctrine which nobody understands." All I got back were blank looks and no response to my statement.

Deconstructing Splanes 'Generation' explanation

by Splash in

at around 4 minutes into the september 2015 video splane said "for the man and the baby to be part of josephs generation they would have had to have lived at least some time during joseph's lifespan.".

this is the lynchpin of the wt argument, that two lives must overlap to be considered the same generation.. let's take an example of twins who are born just a few minutes apart.

obviously, these twins are the same generation as each other.

I enjoyed this topic thread.

Missionary Deceptively/Mistakenly Misquotes Scripture.........

by The Searcher in

....................on jw broadcasting.

http://tv.jw.org/#video/vodstudio/pub-jwb_201509_1_video (between 14 - 16 mins.).

allyson lee, who is a missionary in nicaragua, misquoted "a very special scripture" - acts 1:8. she said, "that the good news will be preached to the most distant part of the earth.".

I have to say I enjoy your posts Searcher.

Any JW would be tongue-tied at the door if they were told the scriptures say to be Witnesses of Christ. As we all know they just want to count time and place magazines. Nothing really spiritual is actually going on in the field service.
