EPIC!#%* NOVEMBER 2015 WT VIDEO "Welcome Home My Friend, Now Your Life Can Start Again"

by NoMoreHustle in

well i just watched this "epic" video, i would have to say this is probably the most disturbing video yet.

there campaign to get people back is just pathetic in the most mind-manipulating way.

"welcome home" or "come back home" are they serious?

bradford

That pre vomit feeling keeps happening, can't finish it.

I've climbed that mountain! In New Hampshire off the Kangamangus Highway I think..

Disfellowshipped at a funeral

by Yogapants in

recently at a funeral for an active jw, death was sudden and tragic.

was surprised that that one of the disfellowshipped children of the deceased was comforted by the jw's at the funeral.

i would say the majority hugged and said a few short words to the disfellowshipped child on the recieving line to comfort the family.

bradford

I really thought this was going to be a story of someone getting dfd at a funeral.

As some have noted already funerals are like mini memorials. Let's show how loving we can be. Some do it right. Not many though. It's very transparent.

00:37: The Governing Body has directed..

So changes to cancel plans are directed by the governing body. To initiate the plans, however, it was directed by Jehovah/Jesus. Is it just me or is that kind of a big deal?

White Jew Rapper on Dinosaurs, God, Aliens..

by bradford in

give it a chance.

it's hilarious and the reasoning is pretty interesting.

sorry for the profanity and it being over 10 min long.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekqjs_6qc-w.

bradford

Seen it before but it is hilarious! I got this from an email chain from a bunch of JW's! Reminds me of Maclamore or whatever his name is.

From JWs? That doesn't surprise me. I had a "friend" who literally gave away his entire collection of music, applied for Bethel, got accepted, then had his music collection returned.

Why Do You No Longer Believe in God?

by Tenacious in

i know this question has popped up from time to time but i really would like to know how you guys, those that no longer believe, came to that conclusion?

was it the wts and all its crap?

was it something you read?

bradford

I believe there are as many "god's" as there are people. Whether you see whatever "it" is as a God or a power or something scientific, at some point there was nothing, then there was something.

To each person what you believe is unique to your experiences, upbringing, and thinking process.

The problem comes in when trying to turn something that is unique into a "system" of belief that controls how people think and act or when you believe something that will impel you to do something detrimental to society.

need input: why does my wife do this. when at the meeting she is always nodding her head in agreement

by goingthruthemotions in

so this is just so nauseating to me when she noddes her head in agreement and in a low voice or sound does a "mmm uh" in agrrement.

but here is the deal, she never aswers at the meetings.

she doesn't go out in service often.

bradford

From an 02 awake:

Practical suggestions on how to listen during a conversation include turning away from distractions, leaning slightly forward, and giving active feedback with eye contact andnodding. Since much of our learning depends on effective listening, paying attention is something we must all continue to work on.

So basically she is doing this part, paying attention at meetings, but not listening to the other parts about participating by comments and field service.

Pretty standard JW behavior if you ask me.

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

by thedepressedsoul in

here is an idea i tested.

works at both assemblies and conventions.

i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.

bradford

Is it possible to name the connection the title of the convention?

Then, have them redirected to terms and conditions where they have to read a few things..click accept, then get redirected to jwfacts.com, oh mannnn, I should go park at the local hall and try it out..
