Blondie's Comments You Will Not Hear at the 10-26-08 WT Study (ELDERLY)

by blondie in

comments you will not hear at the10-26-08 wt study (august 15, 2008, pages 17-21 (elderly).

review comments will be in red.

older christians--only jws.

For instance, a sister who served Jehovah actively for some 50 years and who had been a regular pioneer developed a debilitating illness and could attend meetings only with great difficulty. When she compared her former ministry with her present limitations, she began to cry. Lowering her head, she said through her tears, "I'm not doing anything anymore."

This makes me sick.

The wt is the reason she feels this way,

because of their constant guilt triping people into thinking they aren't doing enough.

Thanks for the write up.

There was a church that had a very big-busted organist. Her breasts were
so large that they bounced and jiggled while she played the organ.
Unfortunately, she distracted the congregation considerably. The very
proper church ladies were appalled. They said something had to be done
about this or they would have to get another organist. One of the ladies
approached her very discreetly and told her to mash up some green
persimmons and rub them on her breasts and maybe they would shrink in
size, but warned her not to eat any because they are so sour they will make
your mouth pucker up and you won't be able to talk properly for a while.

She agreed to try it.

The following Sunday morning the preacher got up on the pulpit and said,

'Dew to thircumsthanthis b'wond my contwol, we will not haf a thermon

t'day.'

WT backtracking fast on Book Study -High Gas Prices

by stillajwexelder in

so tonight the congregation discussed the front page of the october km -the new meeting schedule.

straight away it was emphasized it was not because of high gas prices that the meetings were being reduced.

it was pointed out that in parts of the world the brothers do not have cars so it was not high gas prices.

All these theories on why they cancelled the bookstudy aren't true.

The real reason they cancelled the bookstudy was to put and end to goody night.

Is it the JW's or the God of the bible you no longer believe?

by reniaa in

i have a question for the ex-jw's on this forum after months of reading the forum..... many say how good it is to be free of the oppressiveness of the jw's that they can now enjoy the freedom to... have sex, celebrate christmas, gamble, embrace politics etc.

there are still biblical scriptures and principles in place that if you still followed the bible would mean you avoid these things and yet these are now embraced as one of the perks of no longer being a jw so in my confusion i ask.... if these are what you want, isn't it more correct to say you no longer follow the bible as apposed to just the jw's?.

moomanchu

It is the JW's I do not believe.

Thinking of becoming a witness again and be warned my questioning posts reflect this.

DON'T DO IT !

just got in email a few minutes ago...... note, there are three different sets of notes, they may seem repetitive but please read all three as some notes may have left out things where other notes added other points......... .

annual report .

the holy spirit is just jumping off of me!

moomanchu

What is the point of this annual report?

More boasting and fire up the troops?

My brother was in attendance at Brooklyn.

Like to hear his take on it, but he doesn't speak to me anymore.

I might use my apostate powers and break his fragile faith. ha!

ALERT FRON BETHEL (this may be it)

by Hiddenwindow in

jw
friends

a prominent bethel elder shared this information with another elder: there are some bethel workers who have been invited to leave bethel, but are refusing to do so and are taking the society to court while still residing in brooklyn.

if this is true, this could be the reason behind the sale of brooklyn property.

Stop teasing us.

Maybe we could all pray for it to happen .
