  They have no interest in a building once they have finished with it. It is sold for the best price , that's all

  Leaked David Spane Apostate Rant? (Upcoming Lloyd Evans Video)

  by Jofi_Wofo in

  lloyd has a reminder set for a "leaked" video that he will be reviewing tomorrow, but it lacks details in the description.

  does anyone know what video he is referring to, or is this an upcoming loyd evans exclusive?.

  i find leaks exciting, especially if it's something that was never meant to be public and puts some serious egg on the faces of the blundering body..

  I watched this today on JW Borg . It is as bad as they say .

  Splane’s message is that the media are all biased , the court system is corrupt, “ Just because a man is found guilty does not mean that he is guilty “ Jurors cannot be trusted and if we settle out of court that is just being expedient.

  The examples they give of why some lose their faith are hardly practical. He warns against on line forums .... where evil apostates may lurk disguised as brothers...

  Negative comments are definitely out, so dubs must put on a painted smile at all times....

  Yuk.! If I were wavering , this would push me over the edge.

  NB . If you want to watch, it is about an hour into the Saturday afternoon session..

  Mine are ..... they all agree it is a “blessing “ being at home for the meetings and don’t know how they ever found time for the ministry. Long may it last....

  Overlapping Generation

  by pandorasbox1914 in

  2. beliefs

  the september 2015 broadcast had david splane explain matthew 24:34 “truly, i say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”.

  his explanation of this scripture was by means of a chart to indicate an overlapping generation.. .

  no scripture was used to show the overlapping generation concept, and as a result it makes no sense.. to illustrate how crazy this concept is, look at the lyrics of the song my generation.. my generation.

  We used to sneer at those in “ Christendom “ for teaching a trinity that postulated that 1 +1 +1 still equals 1 .......

  Now they want us to believe that 1 generation + next generation equals 1 generation....

  Nonsense! They make it up as they go along.

  Drinking expensive drinks - seriously looked down upon as a JW

  by Anony Mous in

  i remember when i was a jw, drinking a good wine or other liquor was looked down upon.

  it’s better to put that money towards the worldwide work donations i always got told.

  so the best thing i ever got was johnny walker red back then (johnny walker is cheap blend).

  All depends where you were and the type of congregation you were in. There’s no rule against such drinks .

  I sfarted it but the frequent interruptions from Evans and his mates was too irritating. I will certainly watch it when the video is released on the official site, with a lot of interest

  I faded.... the elders could hardly care less. It helps if you can move congregation across town .

  I have an easy relationship with family dubs so I call that a win

  Donating blood a disfellowshipping offence?? What if an Elder needs my blood fractions?

  "Such a mind bending warped crazy doctrine is full of holes and bull crap."

  That may be the case , but try telling them that! In the U K it is not possible to direct your blood donations to one person, it all goes into the pool.

  I could imagine them asking "what would they do with the rest of it? "

  No matter what, blood donation would still land you before a Judicial Committee.

  If I got into it with my wife we might have a similar conversation.

  Stan asked

  "why put up with it ? Life's too short."

  Well, I tell you that there is more to life than bickering over her religion. Since we have got older we realise how much we need a partner , someone to look out for us when all else fails.During Covvid life would have been hell on our own . She is a good woman even if she needs a little understanding and tolerance.

  We could easily have split in times past but we are very glad now to have each other.

  So.... I bide my time, hold my tongue , knowing she does not want to know I know. I have learned to let her be, and life is all the better for it.

  Any Old-Timers Remember this Kingdom Melody?

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we used to sing a slow song in the late 60's and early 70's that went something like : "don't be afraid of them that can kill the body buy cannot kill the soul" .... or something like that.does anyone remember that one?.

  Since " your soul is you" , I was once told "they can kill your soul but they can't keep it dead"

  Witnesses do not appreciate that the doctrine of soul-sleep, or mortalism goes way back among Christian groups and seems to have been brought from the old Adventists. I have read that Seventh Day Adventists believe it too.
