Bukner Elder once disfellowshipped himself for sinning, because he thought he wasn't repentant enough.

i've heard some weird stories coming from jws about the paranormal.
i know about the warnings about items that come from unbelievers -- those don't interest me as much.
what i am interested in are actual experiences in stories of the paranormal you've heard or experienced yourself.
I know of a family that had pictures swinging on the walls, dancing chairs and something crawling into bed with the mother of the house. Not crazy people, and several in the family related the story.
i was wondering what encounters others have had with the wives of bethel big shots?.

they have made so many strategical mistakes it's hard to keep track.
some changes within the last decade or so that are contributing to declining numbers of jws:.
1. elimination of book study groups, the most informal, enjoyable and sociable of the jw meetings, contributed to loss of sense of community among jws.. 2. policy of consolidating kingdom halls.
The demoting of the anointed was a strait up power grab. Cleaning out the congregation accounts was a money grab. Telling young men you will never find a wife if you are not a MS, alienate and drive away your future income. They must get points for knee jerk reactions, and whacky ideas.
i have argued with several jws who are now being trained to deny the org ever said the end in 75, what is your approach?.
Wikipedia has a huge list w citations.
i have settled in with a nice bottle of tullamore dew.
i have previously never tried any irish whiskeys other than jameson's.
i was wondering if there are any other irish whiskeys i should try.
Tried Jamesons, not a fan. Bought some bushmills last night based on this thread, mellow, smooth. More like a single malt scotch. Going to a party this evening with several irish imigrants, love the accent.
i think the reason the borg really went on a cost cutting move and is selling off all thier buildings has become obvious.
the cult is telling people that there fast growing but then the numbers seem to indicate about a 1% growth rate.
this would give them roughly 800,000 new baptized ones in ten years give or take do to the small increase per year from previous gains.
The WT Corporation treats women with contept, and cant attract or keep western men. The sucking noise will only grow louder. They are like a man with a gaping hole in his boat, yelling at everyone BALE FASTER. The begging, and eratic behavior is just getting started.
it was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.
the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.
the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.
The Watchtower rejected the offer as they could never submit to a lowly 'sister' instructing elders, circuit overseers, bethelites, district overseer, ministerial servants and brothers.
Problem solved. The Watchtower contacted the regulatory body and asked them to organize a training program at a substantial cost per head.
The regulatory body arranged for a qualified instructor and teacher to conduct the course. They looked at their list of licensed instructors in the area and sent the most qualified.
Imagine the surprise for all these brothers assembled at a local kingdom hall when the instructor and teacher that was sent was the actual sister, who they had to pay $500 fees for plus $25 per head instruction.
Idiots with 1950's mentality. Best story ever
spoke with a fellow apostate from my own area.
she and i bailed out about the same time and kept in touch.. she used to do secular work with one of the local elders in his cleaning business until she got dfed.
this same elder was one of the more profound dickheads on my reinstatement committee, before i turned around two years later and daed.. business required her to contact the elder on behalf of an old client.
The rank and file are seeing all kinds of problems. When you are forbidden to even whisper a criticism. All you have left is your wallet to vote with. Smart companies use exit interviews and spend huge sums surveying customers and make adjustments. The Watchtower Corporation tells you, you have a bad attitude. Sit down and shut up.
what were/are your speculations about the great tribulation.
