  Jesus on the stake

  by dothemath in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i sat in recently with some relatives for the sunday meeting.

  the talk was given by a bethel speaker, who at one point quoted john 20:25.

  “but he said to them: “unless i see in his hands the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails and stick my hand into his side, i will never believe it.”.

  JC was dying on the cross stake.

  he calls out to Peter

  "Peter--come unto me"

  "yes Lord" replies Peter--and fights his way past the Roman guards to get to Jesus...who gasps:

  "Peter..Peter..'

  "yes Lord"

  "Peter.....i can see your house from up here "

  Another Unnecessary Early Death

  by Slidin Fast in

  a young man in somerset in england, under massive pressure from financial and relationship issues lapsed into mental illness.

  he was unlucky enough to have as his support system the local congregation of jehovah's witnesses.

  one of the symptoms of his illness was the use of tobacco.

  it is very difficult--long winded and expensive to " import" a "foreign" spouse into the UK.

  i'm in the process--and we are now 4 years in to the 5 years settlement route, which will have cost me about 10,000 pounds overall. there are conditions to meet--including a minimum income or other financial means. like many other Brits--i knew nothing of all this when we first met and started a relationship.

  Zoom meetings, how long ?

  by Phizzy in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i was wondering two things, 1: how long in total are the zoom meetings, i presume the sunday one is the longest ?.

  and 2: if you use zoom for free, the session only lasts 40 minutes, so do they have an intermission so people can log back in, or are all jw's expected to pay for the "privilege" ?.

  i don't have the hanging down parts to do it (and my wife would probably divorce me), but i just got my beevis and butthead shirts from walmart.

  i bought two with beevis doing his alter ego thing as cornholio.

  she told me not to even wear them outside of the house.. https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=cornholio.

  BETHELITES - Whatever Became of?

  by Black Man in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often times wonder what happened to certain bethelites that i ran around with during my 1990s tenure there.

  while there are still a few left there, the greater majority of them aren't there for various reasons (marriage, disillusionment, left the borg, etc).

  a couple of cats i wonder about - there was one brother who i believe was from kansas, who got his fingers cut off in a printing press.

  Anyone heard of Ron Drage or Ron Rage at London Bethel?

  it was listening to Ron Drage --district servant--in my mid teens 1964 made me give up my job to go pioneering. its been downhill all the way since.

  His name crops up on here from time to time. Last mention of him he was seriously ill, so i dont know if he's still alive.

  now today this is of course a non-issue.

  the wt has embraced the big bang/old earth etc just not evolution.

  in fact the creator book has some decent info.. however i have a good copy of the 1958 paradise book.

  From reddit...How old were you when you became a publisher?

  by Biahi in

  2. experiences

  i was six, not given any choice.

  i remember being in the old kh, and my dad told me the brothers wanted to talk to me in the back...i was terrified.

  i actually thought they knew i didn’t want to be a dub, my dad told them to just add me as a publisher, so no back room meeting.

  i was about 12 when i started going "on the doors". often on my own--especially tuesday evenings before the book study.

  imagine...a 12 year old kid..out door knocking..tuesday evening...in the dark..in HANDSWORTH.....!

  but that was 60 years ago..things have changed.
