My Bethel Experince Part V

by new boy in

bindery...........5th floor building 3 bindery line 5.............. the machines conquer all.. standing in the same spot, doing the same motion thousands of times a day........you would get the 1000 yard stare (seen in the war movies)..........the first week, you would think about everyone you ever meet........the next week you would think about every movie you ever saw...........the next week, about every place you would like to travel to.............................the next week think about every mistake you made...............the next week, someone would walk up and ask you "what are you thinking about?".

"nothing".......you would say........you were brain dead.. there is eternality!......................some hours felt like it.

a good friend of mine, jim pipkorn (also from the lanudry) who was also shafted to the "end sheet gluer" in the bindery, got so depressed that for months, he would come back to his room make himself some dinner and go to bed, at about 7:00 p.m...................i asked him why he was doing that, he said "it makes the days go by quicker" .

WT BLOOD GUILT EXPOSED TO THE WORLD

by DannyHaszard in

parents don't get a moral pass.

toronto star, canada - 3. even the discovery that their parents were devout jehovah's witnesses and is there any other kind of watchtower congregant?

raised only faint alarm ... rosie [email protected] the author.

Greetings garybuss,

and no hospital liaison committee mentioned. What's going on?

Perhaps the liaison committee from that particular congregation of the parents, are just your average "ok I'll take the job cuz nobody else will" type of guys. They're probably hiding under the bed and in need of an underwear change by now because of all the media coverage. I hope anyway!

If Jehovah isn't the true God then who is?

by unbaptized in

if jehovah isn't the true god then who is?

if the jehovah's witnesses aren't god's people then who is?.

Greetings unbaptized,

If Jehovah isn't the true God then who is? If the Jehovah's Witnesses aren't God's people then who is?
Please let me know and I need current information, not outdated information regarding the origin of the organization. I need biblical facts that can be researched.

Do your homework. That means you can get a staisfactory answer to your question if you are prepared to spend some time here at JWD. Look and you will find. There's more inforamtion on this website than in the annals of that locked library at bethel headquarters, that only some have the key to. Dismembered

Is the "Kingdom" a "government"?

by Doug Mason in

my understanding is that the wts says the "kingdom of god/heavens" is a "government".

where do they get that idea from in scripture?

i presume that by "government" they mean "a system of exercising authority through an executive policy making body".

Dismembered

Greetings Doug,

They that make up "Gods Kingdom, (Jesus and the 144.000) will be that government. They'll be ruling all the sheeplike ones that survived the big A from the heavens. After god kills all the other governments for not conforming to JW standards, they'll be the only ones left standing. It makes perfect sense right? Or does it sound a bit like Disney.

Unbelievable comment in Jan 1 2007 WT

by penny2 in

page 28, paragraph 11 says in part:.

"it seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.

" (the 24 elders = "anointed christians in their heavenly positions".).

Greetings penny2

There's just no end to the hocus-pocus. Notice how they cover their unsure butts "its seems", translation----- We don't know, but......

black thursday september 1972. knorr gathered all the bethel "heavies" and gb to the kh in the 119 building.

the three freds (circuit overseers).............and about 50 brothers.....thats right only 50. the other guys chickened out, they knew it was going to be a blood bath.

i was there with 7 others from the launrdy............... it started out with dan smoally (not even 30 years old and partaking) telling about what max larson (head of the whole factory) told him "there was no way he was one of the anointed!

Gays Not OK Pedos OK - WTF???

by hamsterbait in

jw
friends

it has just occurred to me that a gay man is very unlikely to be appointed to anything above holding the lollipops in front of peoples' mouths at the meetings.

even tho he gave up the gay lifestyle to be a miserable borger.. yet pedos are being appointed, and the wtbcs chooses not to know about their past.. why is this?.

is a gay more obvious?.
