  The "most honest people" on earth....?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  have we noticed how often the society uses comments like this?.

  "jehovah's witnesses are the most honest people...etc".

  while it may be true that witnesses as a whole are decent, law abiding people, are they truely "honest" when the very foundation of beliefs are based on mistruths?.

  In keeping with Tony Morris lll speak, [we are the thinkingest people in the world] would it not be more correct to call JW's the 'most honestest people in the world"?

  Host:

  Jehovah wants to safeguard his servants from the pain that results from making an unwise choice when seeking a marriage mate. Reminders to be patience and choose wisely, like our music video are always for our benefit.

  Song lyrics:
  

  Everythings fine but I’m wondering,

  Who will I marry.

  What I am doing right now is deciding not to hurry.

  This is a choice that can lead to laughter or sorrow

  And the feeling that starts in a youthful heart can be gone tomorrow.

  Take your time.

  Patience is the key,

  Just wait and see.

  Use your head.

  And think, is this the one for me?

  Possibly. Take your time.

  Just take your time

  And choose wisely.

  I want someone who will care for me and make me feel special.

  But I knew in my heart it could never be successful.

  I want to make sure it’s Jehovahs way

  Let his word guide me.

  And I’m willing to wait to have a mate in the truth beside me.

  Take your time.

  Patience is the key.

  Just wait and see.

  Use your head.

  Just think, though your heart may not agree,

  Is this the one for me?

  Possibly?

  If you just take your time,

  If you just take your time.

  And choose wisely.

  ‘ … Well, parents, of course, have a big responsibility to prepare their young ones. We want our young ones to makes progress in the truth. We study with them since they are very young. And once we have studied with them for 5,6,7 years you would expect some progress from our young ones. If you studied with a bible student for 5,6,7 years you’d expect the student to make progress, wouldn’t you? In some countries we find that young ones 10,11,12 years old are not even unbaptized publishers yet. And then we find that young ones 13,14,15 years old are not even baptized. And yet their parents have studied with them since infancy. Well, it makes us wonder sometimes, is our teaching program really effective….’

  These mixed up and convoluted messages to JW's must drive ' thinking people' [WT language] crazy.

  My meeting yesterday

  by stephanie61092 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so i just wanted to jot down some thoughts and feelings about my meeting yesterday.... first, the wt, paragraph 16. i couldn't help but laugh to myself at the blatant hypocrisy.

  god’s word admonishes us “to live with soundness of mind ... amid this present system of things.” (titus 2:12) having “soundness of mind,” or being sober-minded, should certainly come into play when the explanation of a diagnostic method or therapy seems strange or mysterious.

  can the practitioner or the one promoting it explain satisfactorily how it works?

  '...eating tictacs too loudly during the meeting and coughing too much...'

  It is so disturbing to hear how much those dear elders must endure. Chomping on tic tacs and coughing. Thank God there are men who have the courage to stand up to such behavior.

  adjusted knowledge '... I just realized that they also used all attractive people in that video, except for the old man introducing the video...'

  Don't forget about the old codger in the park trying to figure out what the heck a cell phone was. Probably didn't even know he was in a video and it he did he probably wouldn't approve of the subject matter. That is if he could even figure out what the sam hill the video was about.

  Why the Deficit at the Circuit Assembly?

  by JT-LadyC in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  have you ever wondered why there is always a deficit at the circuit assembly?

  did you realize that before the program begins, the circuit is already in the red?

  many of the friends thought they were paying for the use of the building and covering the costs of the utilities, etc.

  Un-****ing-Believable

  2. bible

  just a few observations from this morning.

  .. this morning as i was trying to choke back the bile that kept wanting to come up during the wt study one comment in particular screamed cult.. towards the very end as comments were being made about "counseling" others with "gracious" words one of the uber-dub minstral-serpents made this comment, "we see in the last image that the brother is holding a bible as he counsels the other brother.

  we look closely at the picture and we can know exactly what he is counseling the brother about.

  Where are the EXJW Feminist Philosophers?

  by Luther bertrand in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i am working, more in the planning stages, where i am going to offer a commentary on the caleb and sophia cartoons that the org puts out.

  i noticed a heavily patriarchal bent to the narrative that these cartoons offer.

  i would really enjoy working with someone who has an academic background in feminist philosophy, or at least someone knowledgeable.
