One chart says 5% of witness's live with a partner whom they not married too. how does that work?

Also the sample size on average is only 250 people,

If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bull $hit

by hoser in

i was thinking of this when i was sitting at the kingdom hall today.

one of the paragraphs in the watchtower stated that the type/anti type teachings were too hard for some to understand.

i could never figure them out never made sense to me.

skin

When no one understands what it is they are trying to tell us, the default answer is "It all makes sense now". It all makes sense because I read it with my own eyes in a WT mag.

Prayer During District Assemblies

by Tenacious in

there's something that i've always wondered about yet could never truly understand.

does anyone know why during district assemblies a prayer is done during the last day after coming back from lunch?.

i can't quite remember if it's done other days but i believe this is done on the last day.

skin

After more than 20 years of going to assemblies/conventions I hadn't picked up on this one. We got an assembly in a few weeks time, now they are only one day long so will be interesting.

WHAT IS YOUR "AFTER MEETING RITUAL? "

by brandnew in

jw
friends

me ?

my after meeting ritual, is getting my suit off, and a beer in my hand....in less than 2 minutes from entering my door.

skin

Celebrate that the meeting is over and reflect on how much sleep I got. Freedom for another 3 or so days till the next meeting. Then repeat the above. If I'm able to miss a meeting, well that's even better.

Another "reaching out" guilt trip this weekend, apparently.

by OneEyedJoe in

i just got word that the brothers of my congregation is "encouraged to attend a special meeting" this saturday.

i was told to bring the od book, and the 9/15/14 and 4/15/15 study wts.

judging by the articles in those, it's going to be another guilt trip to get all us dead-beat kids in our 20s and 30s to "reach out" to be jr. cult leaders.

skin

I haven't heard of one being planned in our area. But I've been to them before. "We need more brothers to take the lead". I only show up to these to keep everyone happy.

Huge Shift in Doctrine?

by Lemonp in

i am not sure why more people aren't talking about this?.

the march 15 study edition of the wt has some major changes!

- all unbiblical "types and antitypes" are now dropped.

skin

You only need to hear this from stage and see it in the mag for it all to totally make sense.

Changing images

by maisha in

awhile ago i was mentioning how many of the images in watchtowers last year were containing addins with skulls, demon like faces and blatant illuminiti imagery.

i recently went into the download sites again to grab some of those images and blow me away they have all been changed, cropped, edited, i can say that because i have some those original digital images from the magazines of last year, however the images currently on download sites are not the same some completely removed.

one such image of jesus coming on an ass has been cropped, removing the name of the hidden name of the artist,,,, and altering a huge demon like face on the window.... has anyone else noticed this?..
