what would you think if i told you "last thursday i went to the service meeting at the kingdom hall to hear the presiding overseer give a talk from the platform.
most of us here know that to mean "last thursday i went to church to hear the head pastor give a sermon on the door to door ministry from the pulpit", a pretty common and straight forward event for a jehovah's witness.
i asked my pennicostal wife what she thought the phrase meant and she guessed it had something to do with slavery and human sacrifice.
How many RVs did you get (Back Calls in the old days)
Ha isnt that funny how you can tell how long someone has been in the truth by the way they talk?
I can peg a brothers time in the truth to the year, after 2 minutes of theocratic chit chat. (Hahaha he said Jehovah witness, Its Jehovah'sssss witnesses you loser)
Grace?? Whats that man? Its the UK-- Undeserved Kindness- you dispicable fool.

there was a very well respected elder in my cong that i will call mr. r. this elder was a very zealous and pious jw and the po.
mr. r was of cuban descent and had extremely conservative veiws.
mr. r being the upstanding jw and elder had a very attractive wife and two cute kids.
If the elders "encouraged" her to divorce him there would have to be adultery involved.
You'll not find this in any publication but a few years ago a CO made a veiled attempt to tell us that cybering with someone would be considered sex. The he leaves us with the question "So then would a mate be free to remarry in this case?" Well it turns out that he didnt have the answer either, he was just insinuating something hoping for us to think of cybersex in a certain light.
Encouraging a mate to divorce of not to divorce is a big no no. In my congo doing so has been among the "high crimes and misdemeanors" to have an elder removed. The frock book says to that though the elders should be informed of the descsion, they should stay out of the descsion.

why did jesus suffer and die?.
did anyone want to pick apart the special talk?.
geez this thing is more of a manuscript than outline.
Just as most religious artwork is misleading, so are most religious teachings about who Jeus was and why he suffered and died.Of course, until 1968 the WTS depicted Jesus without a beard. I bet it griped their ass to have to put a beard on Jesus during the hippie era.
That is one of the top 10 funniest things I've ever heard!

Marble Falls is one of the prettest towns I've ever been through. The lake and bridge on entering the town is almost surreal to me. I'd move there in a heart beat.

I guarantee it won?t be per the outline. The great thing about the talk is that it is so ambiguous and innocuous for the most part that no one will be the wiser. I will definitely be leaving out the plug for the dubs at the end.
I'm not ready for another LT yet, that takes bawls that I aint got yet.
so i put it out to you who believe the wtbts is the agent used by god's channel on earth based on the belief that in 1919 (3 1/2 years after the gentile times ended in 1914, per pastor russell) they were appointed the fds.. what if it was proved that not 607, but 587 was the date jerusalem was destroyed?
would that affect your faith?
would it matter that the teaching of 1919 turned out to be false?
I'as just ribbin ya, I knew you knew better :P
You've figured out that 607 and 1914 are bogus, thats smarter than most dubs.

He [Roosevelt] moved to create a "grand alliance" against the Axis powers through "The Declaration of the United Nations," January 1, 1942, in which all nations fighting the Axis agreed not to make a separate peace and pledged themselves to a peacekeeping organization (now the United Nations) on victory.

Mr Roosvelt was talking about the UN by Jan of 1942 was he not?
What was the date of the talk?

Why don't they say that, according to their own official doctrine, he is the mediator of the 144,000 only
Personally I think since the special talk is especially for the interested ones (see the speakers notes) its an attempt at broader apeal. Ah kick @ss Pets by Porno for Pyros just came on launch, I aint heard that song in along time.
Anyhow, your a new person in the audience and the speaker says, Jesus only mediates for the 144k? WTF, would you stay? The teachings about Jesus in the talk a so elementry.
It pisses me off that they make a big deal at the beginning of the talk about how christendom teaches lies about Christ, but then the talk is about all the same things that a nominal Christian would already know about him, except the trinity thing.
