  My last Memorial

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i missed my first memorial last year in 60 years.

  it always amazed me on this special night that the jw's forget how to park their cars in the parking lot.

  i would pull in with my wife and there are 5 brothers giving directions on where and how to park my car.

  Scratch:

  Theonly memorial that was different to me was the one when I got a hand job.

  Was that a bribe or a reward?

  Clearly, undeniably, without doubt ... is there a term for introducing a thought in such a way.

  2. beliefs

  watchtower article often introduce a point that has no merit with words such a "undeniably.".

  for instance the watchtower 2014 august 15 page 10 says:.

  "jehovah undeniably blesses the preaching work of christian women and supports them in times of trial.

  The next time I see the cart babysitters

  the next time i see the jdubs standing or sitting by their carts sipping their coffee lattes or updating their facebook pages, i am going to approach them with the following thought process acting as an interested person.. do jw's believe the end is near?.

  do you consider your preaching work to be urgent?.

  why do you just let people walk by if their very lives are at stake?

  or

  why not stand there with them--engage passers by--show the dubs how to witness to others ?

  Classic Talk Regarding KH Consolidation

  by lepermessiah in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  last night i was listening in as my spouse was on the phone line.

  there was a big "local needs" talk announced and it was speculated to be about the congregation reshuffling.. that ended up to be the case.

  i thought i used to lay it on thick from the platform....... this was the ultimate spin job - worthy of political office or a spot on the governing body.. one thing that stood out "while the numbers may not necessarily indicate it, it is clear jehovah is speeding up the work".

  my involvement with Dudley--the town--not the assembly hall....was my job.

  back in the late 60's i took a job as an insurance agent with the United Friendly insurance company--a UK friendly society. the job involved travelling round the area--shaking down customers for weekly insurance premiums. all my clients were west indian ex pat immigrants settled in the west midlands. it was never without its fun and incidents.

  the job was very popular with dubs--i knew lots who worked for the company.

  Pondering the real numbers

  by Deltawave in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i was sat in the assembly hall yesterday, wondering how many pimo ones like me there was there.

  or even if they don't know ttatt still don't believe it for whatever reason.. i think there must be more of (us) there than we all realise.

  i mean, brothers reaching out is at an all time low, information via the internet is at an all time high and the preaching work has now become a motionless, speechless babysitting of a book shelf advertising a website as someone here pointed out!.
