  "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" 7:44

  by biblexaminer in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  if you have the jw app running on your tablet, watch the latest (may) governing broadcast and hear tony the jackass, and when you get to 7 minutes and 44 seconds ...hit the pause button.. read the words at the bottom of the screen as per the jw app close captioning.. "well beyond the intent of the scriptures" .

  he is describing the governing body past, like the ghost of christmas past.

  yes, the governing body past were a bunch of freaking yahoo's violating 1 cor.

  They're still assh**es.

  They're just assh**es who've now admitted to "sometimes" having gone beyond what was written.

  I still smell bulls**t though.

  What would happen if...

  by StarTrekAngel in

  in an effort to excuse yourself from elder persecution, you present an argument.

  whether at a jc or just in an average elder shepherding call.

  most people who have confronted a jc, have tried to explain to the elders about what they know of the org but the incriminating questions always come up.. when confronted with the question, do you still believe the gb is the f&ds?

  If given no choice but to defend my position, I would open up on them full throttle. Of course I would be prepared, but I would lay out my case point by point in a systematic manner and ask that if they disagree with what I've presented they need to disprove it. Either way I would not give them the satisfaction to talk down to me but rather to speak up on clear irrefutable facts. That's how I would go out. Guns blazing, period.

  “Even if this wasn’t the Truth, I need the structure.”

  by Londo111 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i remember many years back a fellow ministerial servant saying this to me.

  he felt that even if jehovah’s witnesses were not the only true religion, the regimented routine of meetings and field service and the strict rules and enforcement provided a beneficial structure for his life.

  at the time i thought if this wasn’t “the truth”, i’d have no need for all that “structure”.

  A. He lacks the will to do the right thing needs prodding

  B. He needs someone to be poking him making sure he does right

  C. He lacks balls to live life by God's standards independent of anyone
  

  I'm leaning towards C.

  I wouldn't piss on him even if he was on fire. Instead I'd roast some marshmallows while humming the nutcracker.

  Start your own Prince rumour!

  2. humour

  i see the jw rumour mill is going into mad overdrive about prince.

  the stories seem to be more and more unlikely.

  so i thought as a bit of fun how about us here try to make up our own rumours?

  True story.

  Prince did not die. He faked his own death so he could be the 8th man on the GB.

  His estate money is being transferred to Brooklyn coffers as we speak.

  Today the two elders did not appear to declare at prosecutor's citation

  today the two elders who stalked my sister were absent at the prosecutor's citation.

  they were waited for 1 hour, but they did not come.

  this attitude favors their culpability.

  Oh yeah. I've actually jolted away from farting so hard. One time I farted so hard the pressure actually lifted me and moved me.

  I've also farted and sneezed at the same time.

  One time I sneezed so hard I actually sprained my neck.

  Oh man, I've experienced a bunch of shenanigans.

  Very Weird Experience During Recent Special Talk After Memorial

  by Tenacious in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hesitantly i attended this talk with my family and sat through it without batting an eye.. mentally i take myself out during the entire meeting some would describe this as daydreaming or zoning out.

  whatever the case may be, for some reason this particular speaker, whom i know of but not personally, got my attention the way he would say certain phrases.

  he cited some texts that directly advised the audience that faith in christ was the only way to salvation.

  @ flamegrilled - okay, something is definitely not right then.

  Hey Atlantis do you or Wifibandit have the outline? Does anyone else maybe?

  I'm going to look through the ones I have to see if it's there or if some brothers are looking through their bullcrap.

  @ Vidiot - LOL, you reminded me of Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men. Grave danger? "Is there another kind?"
