The Sheer Boring Monotony Of Being A Jehovah's Witness

what a terrible way of wasting valuable time.

going to meetings is the biggest scam.

you get nothing more from going than you would if you read a publication in the comfort of your home.

Ok...so if someone is bored not being a JW any more...and that life was so thrill filled it begs the question...why dont they go back and be entertained again?

because i don't believe in it anymore...

sorry if you are offended that not everyone who leaves jws now has an entertaining purposeful life..i don't..my life was then and now it isn't. i didn't realise at the time that i was being lied to and i do not find being lied to entertaining so just because i am bored without it doesn't mean i will go back.

stAnn..i don't know if you were being sarcastic or not...but i would love to have someone to do things around the house for. in fact i have done for a number of people because i have the time to do it..and in most cases for little or no charge. i have also been to college and for a couple of years there did something i enjoyed doing (and should have done when i was 17 but - well you know).

but now i am not at college..i don't have anything worth while to do..and as i have said..all day to do it.

if that changes in the future...and i hope it does..and i am taking steps to accomplish that, then perhaps there will be someone or something to give me meaning in my life

but for now..i am bored bored bored bored bored

if i were going to comment on a deep philosophical doctrine, i would first outline what that doctrine was,has the wtbs ever dne this properly with the trinity?

from memory they have only ever reasoned at the level"one plus one plus one = 3, not one" type of argument,and odd references to trinities in pagandom.. surely a college education would be of benefit to them so they know how to present a thesis?.

love.

Excellent questions, all. I do not know the answers to them.

City Loses JW Convention-Parking dispute:Two versions-Guess who lied?

by AndersonsInfo in

city loses conventionwednesday, october 01, 2008 by lee roopand kay campbelltimes staff writers [email protected]@htimes.comparking dispute spurs jehovah's witnesses to move .

jehovah's witnesses will move their three summer meetings from huntsville to birmingham next year, ending for now a 12-year string of meetings that brought nearly $9 million a year in business to local hotels and restaurants.

a dispute over parking has ended the annual meetings, at least for 2009, as the city's largest single convention booking, bringing 6,000 people to town each of the three weekends.

All of the conventions I ever slept at, in no way were half of the attendees just visitors

they probably use the ratio of baptised to unbaptised..which may work out at about 50/50 i guess if you factor in kids.

still deceptive tho...

cunning as serpents they would call it

Dress & Grooming for visiting Bethel. scans inside!!!!!11 LOL

i had been walking around manhatten one hot summer day and across the brooklyn bridge...in shorts, sneakers, and a basketball vest.

earlier that year my wife and i had put up 4 ny bethel boys who wanted to visit castles in scotland. i had never met them before and i ran them around and we provided them with bed and board obviously at no cost.

so as we had walked across the bridge we decided to see if any of the boys were around and entered the lobby in our casual clothes. talk about providing refreshment for tired souls --- not.

we didn't get turned away but we sure got ushered out of the public view as quickly as possible.

To the disciples who were grieving, if the Spirit were an impersonal force it would no way comfort or replace a real person. Imagine saying don’t worry you’ll have electricity or a force! The Holy Spirit is a person ...

Trinitarians do not believe that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same person.

You're not listening. 3 persons, one god.

ok so we have established that they are seperate persons...but the one god.

so are they all equal..in power , in knowledge, in understanding, in ability, in existence.

hmmm and yet that is exactly what we promise to someone we are leaving ...don't worry i will always be with you..or my spirit will sustain you..you will always have the memory of me..close your eys and i will be there...none of which we actually mean literally..we say it to provide comfort.
