my two biggest stupidest ones i think are, “ we can really tell the end is almost here with the way people drive on the highway.” and a girl who said she wants to hurry up and marry her boyfriend because she’s scared if the end comes before their married, she’ll have to wait 1000 years to marry him.

oh and also a poor old lady saying that she hopes jehovah wipes away the memory of her disfellowshipped sons that he will have to destroy.

Also any future planning, (well anything more than 2 years away), is a waste of time because we all know that the end will come before then.

My impressions of the cart witnessing

by Sour Grapes in

i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

2018 Courage Convention video invitation

by Listener in

the video invitation for the 2018 convention is just creepy.

i thought it was some parody at first as it seems 'dark'.it begins with a young man being pushed whilst standing at his locker and the voice over says that 'in critical times we need courage more than ever'.

next, comes a clip of a male putting his hand on the shoulder of a female worker, the look she gives him would be enough to give him nightmares for the next year.

I watched it with the sound turned off, is she not giving that evil look to her husband?

Gloom and Doom from 100 years ago -- Watch Tower 1918

by FatFreek 2005 in

i thought it would be enlightening to see what jws said 100 years ago.

it's no different as we check out the jan 1, 1918 watch tower and herald of christ's presence.. .

Interestingly the organization didn't leave the doctrine of 1914

I have not seen any reference to the year 1914 (in this context) in any WT book published between 1915 - 1930. It was dropped after the 1914 date did not coming true. Only many years later, after reshuffling dates did they reintroduce 1914 under today's understanding.

non jehovah witness dinner

by whatisthis12 in

so almost two weeks ago, my boyfriend(who was disfellowshiped) went to the memorial.

he hasn’t spoken to his parents, friends, or siblings for over a year because of it.

the only person he keeps in contact with is his grandma, which is who he went along with.

I take it you are living together unmarried? (I haven't read your other posts). If his interest in returning to JW.org continues, very soon he will ask you to marry him or one of you will need to move out as you cannot continue to live together. Just be wary in that you are dappling with, could/is a trap, a trap that is very hard to escape from if you get too wrapped up in it all. Heed sir82's advice....

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?

by minimus in

jw
friends

i remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.

he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.

interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

The latest stupid comment I heard last week was: "If we ever find yourself arguing with Jehovah, then you know you have already lost".

Roll Call for the benefit of Newbies and Lurkers. In One Sentence tell why you left the Org.

by Wasanelder Once in

roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.

in one sentence tell why you left the org.

not 2 sentences.

For me, it is the brazen way the GB have rewritten their own history, and then informed us that all the old historic WT books be returned to HQ or destroyed, all in an effort to stop us from finding out the real history of WT.

I can see what you think you are seeing, but I don't think there is anything odd within this picture. You have to really push the imagination to see anything more than a fire.

Here is the picture.
