JW Anointed get a free ride!

by zack in

jw

so this always bothered me and i could not quite figure out why.

it wasn't just the reasoning, it felt more like the motivation behind it was flawed as well.. according to jw theology, any anointed that pass away get resurrected to immortal life in heaven---- no more death or even the possibility of death.. the "other sheep", "great crowd" have to go through armageddon, behave righteuosly for 1000 years, and then pass another test only to receive.

everlasting life of the mortal kind---- death is always lurking because if you screw up ---zap---- you're outta there.

Greetings Zack,

You just reminded me that even after the 1000 years(tm) are over, that the Sword of Damocles will still hang over everyones head. The difference is that you'll be vaporized or dematerialized out of existence in a nanosecond. The issue of universal sovereignty(tm) will have been settled. You're right they do get a free ride. But then perhaps they deserve it for being so dedicated while on earth for all those years.

Sounds like Disney to me.

Pathetic Speakers

by Alpaca in

jw
friends

this is great.

i was suffering through an interminably long sunday p.m. public talk (we flip-flopped w/ the other cong--at least sunday a.m. was a little more tolerable because there was still some of the day left to do something).

the speaker was talking about "physical training being beneficial for a little" and how some exercise was necessary.

Dismembered

Greetings Alpaca,

This guy probably cut grass for a living and he definitely had only a marginal command of language.

Another example of the need to kill two hours on a Sunday no matter what. Inasmuch as it'd be easier to just do the watchtower, then send the sheep home, the audience has to suffer with someone who uses "word salad" in an attempt to sound articulate.

I need a pillow.

Update- My fade and the elders inaction

by OnTheWayOut in

jw
friends

here's the story in a nutshell.

i stepped aside as elder in a foreign language congregation with a resignation letter in august.. i cited doubts in doctrine concerning "this generation" and 1975, and also said i don't "know".

the governing body well enough to teach their doctrine.

Dismembered

Greetings OnTheWayOut,

You're an addtion to the wave of competent men (unreplaceable really) that are leaving that sick controling cult. Isn't it nice that the CO had that "lets get this over quick, suppers on the stove and I'm hungry" attitude, after all the hard work you've no doubt expended doing territory maps. I've been there and done that. It's a large task. And to think you used up 15 mins of the CO's precious time.

As SOON as one dosen't toe/tow the watchtower printing corp line, it's..... who are you? Or NEXT!

They just suck, don't they?

yesterday was the first time i stepped into a kingdom hall in over twenty- five years.

i went there to attend my sister-in-law's funeral.

on the program they had a picture of her as a pretty young woman about the time i met her and my wife.

So true so many broken and unfullfilled promises. Many in the ranks of JW must be shaking in their boots. Funerals are sobering.

For All Former Elders

by Yizuman in

jw
friends

i would like to pose some questions that may challenge your thoughts, if i may.... .

former elders, while i may commend you all for seeing the real truth on about the so called "truth" and thus leaving the borg for what it really & truly is, a lie.

former elders, have you ever thought about or attempted to contact anyone that have been disfellowshipped by your involvement in the j.c.?

Dismembered

Greetings Yizuman,

I think the lack of posts to this thread answers your question. I think it would be a cold day in hell before, all but a few would apologize. As heinous as the wacktower jc committees are, not many in my opinion would go back and apologize. Would it do any good?

DF'd for Son's Bday??

by brunnhilde in

jw
friends

we're having my seven-year-olds first birthday party at the local chuck e. cheese (yeah, i know but it's what he wanted).

i don't especially care, but if a dub sees us and reports us (as you know they would), can be we be df'd?

like i said, i don't particularly care, and wouldn't be sorry either.

Dismembered

If you see a dub at your kids birthday party tell them to leave. It's pagan.

P.S. wear earplugs

Kingdom Hall wedding

by Wanita in

jw
friends

not a witness but have them as neighbors.

i have been studying watchtower publications for years and have spent lots of time in discussion with witnesses in hopes of having them read the bible without watchtower glasses on.

i will be going to a jw wedding soon and am wondering, since i'm not a witness, what to expect.

Dismembered

Greetings Wanita,

Don't expect to be able to do the bump dance, often times there's no adult beverages served due to all the former/closet drunks that will be there. And because of their former bad behavior you'll be penalized.
