Memorial musings

things i thought about during the memorial talk last night:.

i don't know if it was just the memorial i went to or if this was across the board, but it seems that the talk was dumbed down a bit more than it had been in the past.

not that it wouldn't surprise me if was dumbed down.

And don't you love how someone has to pass the emblems in front of the guys who just walked all around the all carrying them? I mean, if they wanted to, they could have taken a nibble or sip any time they wanted. Why all the ritual? And the speaker. He's standing next to the table the entire time. He could've just grabbed some when they set it back down...but noooo, we gotta make it a point to give him the plate/glass for him to acutally take in hand and hand back. Growing up in it, I never thought about it, but now it just looks stupid and ritualistic.

I made a comment to a dub about this, I said

"why doesn't the speaker just say whoever wants to partake please come forward"?

Would save alot of time.

Oh wait that's the way some of Christendom does it.

Forget it.

Just one simple question to ask Jehovah's Witnesses about the recent earthquakes.

by nicolaou in

"is jehovah causing these earthquakes?".

whether or not jesus said that earthquakes would 'increase', jehovah's witnesses assert that earthquakes are a sign of the 'time of the end'.

the recent cluster of awful earthquakes has only increased that sense of expectancy.. does this mean that jehovah is responsible for these earthquakes?

Looking again at that cult picture. I noticed something stupid about it.

How can there be all those nationalities dressed in their respective traditional dress coming out of that one city?

Hold on...... maybe there will be an International Convention going on when Armageddon strikes??

Yeah, Yeah that's got to be it.

WOW, you really need to look deep into the society literature to understand it.

Notice the Japanese woman and child.

JW's become soooo happy when cities are destroyed, and men women and children are killed.

Does Jehovah hate beards?

by brotherunsure in

has the watchtower ever rationalized their obsession with depilation or claimed there was a biblical basis for banning beards, or is it simply because jehovah's corporation/faithful and discrete slave says so?.
