  defd- taking bets on how long it takes for him to become apostate...

  by in a new york bethel minute in

  haha i hope this doesn't come across as mean or jerky or libelous... but i can totally see defd becoming apostate... he posts here a lot which means he reads even more.

  to me it's just a matter of "seeing it when you're ready to"... kind of like those 3d art things that were popular in the mid-90's... it's invisible until you make deep focus and at the same time blur your eyes to what you would normally see.

  Futhermore, my husband and I are starting up a company that will require doing some research on the internet; I would not be to happy to find out that an employee of mine was posting to a message board and taking quite a lot of time to do so when I am paying said employee to work. If an employee is going to goof off on a message board instead of doing time critical work for me, I dont need that employee and that employee would be gone.

  I still fail to see what this have to do with Defd posting here. So what if he posts here during work hours, it really is none of your business. Now if he was a worker working under your company then you would have something to say. But since I don't think Defd is employed by your company I don't see why making threats about his internet usage is revelant.

  Why aren't congregations much bigger in size?

  by JH in

  .

  like that, they wouldn't need so many elders and ms. they would have plenty of brothers to read and pass the mic.. no where in the bible do they mention how big or small a congregation should be.

  if ever one day they have a hard time forming enough ms and elders, wouldn't it be simpler to just make congregations larger?

  I was told by our PO that the congregation wasn't larger because they want to keep the numbers smaller so it would be easier for them to keep an eye on the flock.

  So I can see how you can turn that around and say that they want to keep numbers small to keep control.

  Why are you laughing your ass off? You own a business that can go out there and help? What have you done to help people in need due to the hurrican disaster?

  Have you ever got up in the middle of a meeting, bored, and just left?

  i did it many times.

  first of all, let me say that just about every meeting i attended was a sacrifice for me.

  i was a follower, not more.

  In the congregation I used to attend almost all of those between 18 - 24 years old crowd would just get up and leave after the Sunday talk. It became such an issue that the elders had to do a special talk giving advice to the congregation why it wasn't a good idea leaving after the talk.

  Actually some of the MS were told to hang by the exit doors and try to stop the ones leaving early. It was kind of amusing, right after the Sunday talk watching at least 8 - 12 people walk out and leave. Everybody knew they had something planned for that Sunday evening and the Watchtower Study was in the way.

  Those crazy annointed

  by joelbear in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i knew several of the annointed over my life.. once when working door to door we were rejected and the annointed brother said loudly as we were leaving, "he will make good fertilizer for the ground after armageddon.

  the annointed brother i worked with as a little kid used to take me to dairy queen on hot summer days to drink out of the water fountain at the back.. one brother who claimed to be of the annointed worked at the equal opportunity agency.. one guy about my age who i was friends with at bethel discovered he was of the annointed a few years ago, many years after he was baptized.

  i think people will continue to make this discovery forever.. one annointed guy used to rub my knuckles together whenever he shook my hand and also used to grip my knee joint very hard, both hurt a lot.

  I knew two of them. I always wondered why they were so weird. One of them would only show up at the KH whenever he wanted and would go out in service by himself. The other would come by once a month to the mettings neither of them were attending much. I wonder how they figured they were of the 'annointed' class. If I were to see any of them now I would ask them that question.

  did you actually pay for magazines and literature?

  although i did put money into the contribution box untill i found out about silent lambs, i never really counted how many magazines and books i picked up or ordered and no one ever said anything about paying for them.

  i just assumed one put in the box what one could.

  did anyone actually figure out what they might owe and put that amount in the contribution box?

  I actually never paid for any literature, and I was the one who helped out on literature and also the accountant.

  My thoughts on men who Body Build

  by kls in

  2. experiences

  my two son's are body builders and i am wonering if they think they can take on the world .

  last year my son was in a bar fight and got sucker punched in the eye which required 5 stiches ,now my 21 year old comes home with a huge black eye, the biggest i have ever seen trying to break up a fight.. .

  now both these people that got a good shot at my kids where men much smaller in stature and size and seemed to land good punches.

  From experience I can tell you that body building or working out do not cause you to get into fights. Myself and my friends work out all the time and we don't go around thinking we can take on everyone. At the same token you can't judge strenght by the size of your muscles. I also train in Mixed Martial Arts and I can tell you that size does not matter when it comes to a fight. One of the guys I train with who also happens to fight in MMA is only around 145 lbs. Yet he takes on people double his weight (including me) and still wins. Now if they're at bars when this happens then I might say that alcohol plays a huge part on this also.

  long years of brainwashing finally come to an end.....

  by girl_interrupted in

  2. experiences

  hi everyone, i'm new here......basically, i found this website a couple of weeks ago when i was in dire need of some like-minded souls who had felt screwed up about the jw's.

  from about the age of four/five, my parents and i were involved in the organisation, and all three of us are stil messed up because of it.....we are no longer involved in it, but it took quite a few years before my parents found the strength to leave.

  to begin with, i was quite a zealous jw, was baptised at twelve and disfellowshipped at fourteen, because as i got older i began to grow ''weak in the truth'' as people so kindly described me!

  Did anyone else notice that girl_interrupted and jmusic both created their accounts on the same day? It also seems that every topic that girl_interrupted starts jmusic is there with his posts. Why of all the topics jmusic can choose to reply on, he chooses girl_interrupted topics? So far there have been two topics started by girl_interrupted and only in those did jmusic chose to reply. Is this just a coincidence?
