Crazy Comments

by Cori in

jw

was there a comment made at a meeting that finally convinced you, this is not right?

for me a couple of months ago was in the service meeting, they stated that if the children didnt finish their homework because they were studying the bible or at a meeting that teachers should understand that their meetings and study are more important.

i looked at my wife and went "what"?

I have heard the one about the birds having so much to eat after Armageddon destroys all the bad people also. It was creepy. The comment was like "Imagine the day when vultures are eating the bodies of the people killed by Jehovah at Armageddon, what privilege would it be for the ones that survive to be there and witness all these acts."

I also heard someone commenting about the importance of preparing for the meetings and that it should come before any high school, college or other secular related studies or home work. I was shaking my head on that one.

Bryan's inteview with MAN COW!

i have just been booked to be interviewed with man cow tomorrow morning.

he's syndicated and in 20 markets!

for those of you who don't know him, he's a crazy wacky kinda' guy.

R6Laser

I heard the interview, and there didn't seem to be that many people calling in. If anything it turned into a scientology thing. The only one person who called in told Mancow that he was lying when he told on the radio that he had met two JW girls in college and that he had slept with them.

Just goes to show you that most people aren't interested or don't even know that much about the JW religion.

Chaperones

by Gretchen956 in

richie's thread got me wondering what ever happened to the practice of chaperoning???

i mean really, was this just a regional thing where i grew up?

we had to have a chaperone always with the opposite gender even if we were old!

R6Laser

I was asked to chaperona couple of times when I was younger. The reason being that the couple who asked me knew that I wouldn't run to the elders if they were holding hands or kissing. I told them I didn't see why the elders were making a big deal out of it, but they insisted I went along with them.

S. Assembly Day St. Louis 10-16-05

by jeeprube in

my wife attended the special assembly day this last sunday.

here are some interesting points.. 1. attendance was 700.

(typically, attendance tops 1000).

I remember the saying in my congregation about Armageddon was "the end is around the corner", then it changed to "the end is right in front of us!" I wonder what the saying is now.

ok there are so many americans on the map now i had to split you all in half.. valis was kind enough to let me place the maps on his website until i found a new home for them.. photobucket seems to be a good option - at least for now.

so i have uploaded the new maps which have been updated to include everyone who has asked.. so if you were wondering where we are from.

or how close you are to other jwd posters in your area just take a look.

If its not to late please add me to Indiana.

Thanks.

typically ridiculous.

last saturday, me and a friend from the hall decided to go to nc state fair together.

i have been told that the state fair is not a big deal in other areas of the country, but here in these parts, it means alot to us, expecially since we live in/near the capital city.

about the friend: he's a year younger than me, and we go to the same school.

R6Laser

I wonder if the congregation knows that you come here and BASH Jehovah and his People and take Pictures of you sticking up your middle finger in the bathroom of the kingdom hall..... That makes me upset

So in your opinion was this elder right on what he did? The elder basically is acting manipulative and being deceitful who gets off on the supposedly authority ge has been given... That should make you even more upset.

I say good for Richie, let them have it.

New Light and Sports

by pratt1 in

.

although i am pleased when i hear about children of dubs who are pursuing sports at the high school, college and professionally level, it also disturbs me that so many of us in the past lost out on these opportunities because of the rigid views of the dubdum.. a friend of mine that is still active says that many of these changes or new light occurrs because thinking dubs stand up to the elders and make these personal decisions for their family without the advice of elders.. do you ever feel that you should/could stand up for your beliefs even when they are against the advice of elders, eventually you could inspire change within the religion?.

i ask because through out history change has ocurred because of standing up to those in authority.. examples, gandi, martin luther king, susan b. anthony to name just a few.. what are your thoughts?.

R6Laser

The question should be why wouldn't you stand up for yourself? Its great that more are doing this and standing up to opressive rules created by men. I've come to known different types of witnesses, there are those who are real strict and let the elders dictate everything they do. There's also those that don't let the elders dictate what they should do with their own free time.
