it gave the poor bastard who past away no respect, hardly mentioned anything about the deceased.
yet hijacked the event with cult propaganda..
my dad died january last year. he had been very ill in hospital for some weeks. he was 94. a jw for nearly 60 years. i made a careful study of his will for any funeral requirements. there were none.
i arranged a simple non-religious committal at the crematorium. just myself and a few friends of mine present. no way was i having any jw's there. they had totally abandoned him in his last 2 years.
as i was cutting up our bbq chook in preperation for our meals i thought about some indigenous societies that just after a kill give thanks to the spirit of the animal for providing its life so he and his family can live.. i thought that seems to make a helluva lot more sense than giving thanks to an unseen god who is apparently indifferent to mankinds sufferings and is deaf to all the prayers that are offered up to him.. maybe we dont hunt for our food nowadays in the civilized world , but i think its food for thought..
give us this day our daily bigmac !
with the "generation change" and them changing it all the time it would make sence to dump it all togeather.. lets face it ,it can be disproved easly.. they dumped 1975 in a heart beat .. this would buy them all the time they wanted as they would just find another date to start the generation from ie: "the u.n year of peace and sercurty'',1986 i belive or whatever else they could think of.. they could sell it to the r&f as easly as they sold 1975,then dumped it when it did'nt happen .. anyone questioning them would be told they are running ahead of jehovah or lacking faith in his earthly org that feeds us food at the proper time .. what do you think?.
karter..
the watchtower will simply--very quietly--say something about new light and make 1914 go away. i doubt if many dubs will even notice. unless they read this forum !
http://jehovahswitnessreport.com/blog/wallkill-and-farm-receive-green-globe-awards.
a statement by the watchtower society released this week, is highlighting the achievement of two major awards for sustainable development actions.. the green building initiative (gbi) has awarded certificates for two new buildings at the united states branch facilities.
the awards are achievements for the watchtower farms f residence, completed in late 2012, and the watchtower wallkill office building, completed in 2014.. ....................these awards may indicate that sustainable management techniques are being applied to ensure the cost effectiveness of the buildings.
so it's not enough that i'm dealing with post traumatic stress/anxiety and panic attacks all related to my life as a jw (50 years baptized -- i stopped going a couple of months ago) at 3 a.m. i get an email from the other side of the world.
'you have to go to the convention.
bro sanderson says we must watch the news, things are happening.
the last big assembly i attended--wembley london UK--was the last assembly before armageddon.
now---nearly 50 years later--i'm still waiting. i wish jehovah would get on with it...i'm beginning to lose my faith.
3 missed calls from my jw brother last night.
i didnt answer because he's actively shunning me and when he does ring it always to preach to me about how we're so close to the end and how i should "humble myself before the mighty hand of god" .
he then texts me saying "we need to talk".
always remember--we are the mentally diseased apostates.
we all know that the society claims that jesus invisibly chose the bible students (forerunners of jw) in 1919 to be his organization here on earth.. yet, as we know, so much of what they then taught and did was wrong according to current teaching and practice.. the reply witnesses will give is something like "they were the most sincere seekers of truth blah blah...and jesus could see their potential".
so, pretend for a moment that the current organization and the 1919 organization were both in concurrent existence at the time he invisibly came to choose.... which would he choose?
the current or former?.
And he wore a dress
ha ha ha--brilliant.

if i were in your shoes,-- PE--i would simply text them saying you want no further contact from them until they wake up and free themselves from such a destructive hateful cult.
jw believe that jworg is the best website and most translated in the world.. i heard this today in streetservice.
there was already a thread about this subject.
anybody can link it?.
the Welsh are simply the Irish who couldnt swim when the Romans invaded.
the few Welsh people who do speak Welsh are also fluent in the English language.
all the road and rail signs in Welsh are just to appease their national vanity.
i think the finished mystery book probably contains the stupidest beliefs ever recorded!
almost any prophecy publication but especially anything to do with revelation, is unbelievable!
.
jehovah ?
