  I just overheard an anointed acquaintance on the phone with a friend of hers who has just had surgery for cervical cancer. Among the snippets of dialogue I heard on my end of the line, these ones stood out:

  "You lost a lot of blood? Oh no!"
  
  "Of course I'm not going to get mad at you!"
  
  "But you're not a witness, you're only studying."
  
  "At this point, you can still take blood, yes."
  
  "You did what you had to do to stay alive and take care of your kids."
  
  "I'm only mad at you for not calling me sooner! I thought you were at home recovering!"
  
  
  An anointed JW just gave her blessing on a blood transfusion. She essentially admitted that the only thing that would deny someone a transfusion is obedience to an organization run by flawed humans. That without commitment to said organization, Jehovah doesn't actually care what you do. And best (or worst) of all, she admitted that her friend made the right choice in order to save her own life and continue to care for her children.
  
  How is it that they can see the glaring issue, clear as day, yet be so blind to it at the same time?

  What Do You Think Will Be The Next Big Change In The Watchtower?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think there will be a change in the 144000 belief.

  too many witnesses think they have a heavenly hope.

  maybe 1914 will be discarded too.. what is your watchtower prediction?

  The next "new light" will be that most the people killed at Armageddon will be resurrected. I was all a big joke and Jehovah will give almost everybody a second chance.
  
  That is actually what I have been told by every JW I've ever spoken to on the matter. I have never met one who told me only JW's would survive, and nearly all of them said that even people like Hitler would be given a second chance.

  The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Titanic, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Beetlejuice have some of the best musical scores I've ever heard (and I'm not even counting the songs in the last three, just the music).

  Movies that make you cry?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  there have been many but i had a total melt down at the end of sophie's choice.

  i hadn't cried in years before i saw that movie in in 1982. i was still very much a jw at the time.

  i have no idea where the pain and sorrow came from, maybe it was the fact there are things people have gone through that we have defied all reason logic.

  No movie has ever made me cry half as hard as Pixar's Coco. It is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen and is my new favorite, shattering the 30-year streak held by Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

  Increase in Second Sealings for the Anointed?

  by Nevuela in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the other day i heard my anointed roommate on the phone, discussing something called the "second sealing".

  i heard her say that most anointed people only receive it shortly before death, if they receive it at all.

  she went on to say that she has been hearing about several other anointed people receiving theirs recently and not dying afterward.

  As I understand it, the second sealing is supposed to be confirmation that an anointed person has proven themselves worthy and will be going to heaven for sure. My roommate sees the sudden increase in second sealings as (further) evidence that the Big A is nearly upon us.
  
  I have never heard of the second sealing before I overheard her conversation, so my question is, what does everyone here know about it? And have you also heard anything about this lately?

  snugglebunny How did your mom get even a single proposal, let alone four? I thought JW's only ever date with the intention of marrying. And if she wasn't dating anyone, then I have another question: who the heck proposes marriage to someone they've never even been on ONE date with?

  i recently had to take a trip with my family to bethel.

  it was a bit torturous for a secret apostate as you can imagine.

  but mostly just so boring.

  My JW roommate and I were just discussing some sweepstakes the other day that offered a prize vacation to anywhere in the US the winner wants to go, and she said if she could go anywhere, it would be to Warwick so she could visit Bethel.
  
  
  Why do these people always equate a trip to Bethel to a pilgrimage to the Holy Land? I mean, I get that that's pretty much how they see it, but how do they NOT see that it is a blatant example of idolatry? -_-

  They don't even show what kind of video game it is. Apparently we're supposed to believe all video games are violent and evil.
