January 15, 2015 watchtower 3 study articles about marriage.

by hoser in

couples having problems and getting divorced must be a problem in the jehovahs witnesses.

the articles are definately an interesting read.

they give plenty of bad advise as usual.

Oh and don't forget that you have to get married really quickly because you can't control yourself.... You don't get the time to really know the person you are marrying properly because all your time together MUST be chaperoned (in case you have sex) so you never get to be alone until your wedding night with your stranger (preferably virgin) new spouse. Fun times!

Glad me and my husband refused to conform. Took us two years of "courting" until we got married, we went totally against the norm but then another couple in our hall did the same so we set a trend! Glad we waited but still that first year was hell!

The 1995 Ebola Zaire outbreak was started by a JW

the dead man is gaspard menga, a jehovah's witness who was the first person to contract ebola in 1995. the people around him, are his family.

within a month, most of the ones on this picture were dead from ebola.

it was because of gaspard that we now know that african burial rites are a mayor cause in spreading ebola.

Thats good to know dropoffyourkeylee. You must be very worried for them, I know I would be. Im worried about it anyway and have been reading articles on how to protect yourself and we haven't even had any confirmed cases in UK yet. But does no harm in being prepared.

One of my best friends married a guy (they are both mega involved JW's) who's parents are apparently both anointed. I mean how likely is that? Not very and just a bit too convenient if you ask me.

So sad. Though I did chuckle at the "Gods revenge for deviant beliefs and behaviours". I'm a bad person.

Haha I would love to see those videos!

Its awful isn't it, I just cant understand why the JW's are all in a froth about this crap. My mother-in-law was like "have you heard we even have a T.V channel now!!" like it was the best thing EVER! You think it would make them think a bit and realise how much the society has become mainstream and dumbed down.

Its nothing like the religion I was bought up in and I think that's probably not even a good thing. At least they had a little bit of integrity back in the 80's/90's. The bullied kid thing is rubbish, it was always my worst nightmare to call on someone from school even thinking about it now makes my stomach churn! It puts you right in the firing line for even more ridicule.

Will be interesting to see what bilge they come out with over the next few months.

Be Honest: Were You Ever Jealous When Someone Was Appointed a Pioneer, MS or Elder?

i knew some that were very happy for you and others, along with their families, that were envious of someone's advancement.. .

Agree with Magnum and Simon. Most I was like WTF?! Knowing the people personally really didn't help as I knew what they were really like (I'm so negative!) the fact that some were my age and younger made me think who the hell are they to give me guidence and counsel? Obviously I never showed a humble spirit lol.

Also I hated the fact if a aux/reg pioneer was missed off the list that was read from the platform they got upset and made a big deal about it. Obivously not doing it for show eh?

Has anyone else heard this about the GB??

by FeelingFree in

ok so me and my husband were talking to his mum again about why we are no longer going to meetings and got into another pointless discussion where she feels he needs to talk to an elder about his issue's blah, blah, blah... round and round it went...... the thing i wanted to ask was if anybody had heard that there wont be any gb after these one's die??

this is something she mentioned today and we have never heard of this ever.

so it means no more will be appointed and they will just die off!

Thanks everyone for your replies. Sorry not responded I have stinking cold and been lazy today!

It makes sense that she has got this confused with the generations teaching. I mean I get confused by it but you would think such a devote Jdub who claims it's her life would know her stuff!

So they are teaching that the 144,000 and the GB members go up to heaven before Armageddon during the GT like a rapture? My thought is if all the GB dies there are always people to replace them... but if they aren't of the anointed class the whole org would no longer be spirit directed would it? Therefore making the whole thing a farse as the claim of spirit direction is really what validates them within the rank and file. I guess like people have said it's just another lead up to making the "it can't be long now" claim seem real. It will be interesting to see what happens when they do all die and nothing happens.

JuanViejo2 - Your story seems to be a familiar tale that really makes me sad. All that time wasted...
