so what have you got?.

i'll start.. 1958 aboard steamship arosa star, english and german jw's bound for new york for 8 day assembly at yankee stadium.. .

I posted this on another thread, but it is definitely worth reposting. This is a brother in Canada very "excited" to baptize some famous model that I have never heard of. It looks like he is jacking off underneath the water while he looks at her! Haha!

The description reads "CANADA - AUGUST 12: Model Dedicates Life to Jehovah; Fashion model Heather Farrar prepares for baptism as convert to the Jehovah's Witnesses during annual Watchtower convention yesterday. She is helped by Fred Holder; left; and Larry Sikorski in special pool set up at Woodbine Racetrack. Miss Farrar; one of more than 100 people baptized; said; I want to dedicate myself to Jehovah God. Convention; which started Thursday and ends tomorrow; has attracted 12;000. The immersion ceremony was one of the highlights. (Photo by Graham Bezant/Toronto Star via Getty Images)" Source

So as for pornography viewing, what exactly do they think would have changed in a person in 24 months?
Why not 12 or 36 or 2?

Silly! It's a biblical number with incredible significance! You see ... 2 and 4 represent the 2nd and 4th book of the bible, specifically Exodus (6 letters) and Numbers (7 letters). 6 x 7 = 42. If you take the inverse of that (representing the flip flop of doctrines), you get 24. See? It makes perfect sense.

You must not have viewed any type of pornography within the past two years.

I thought this was interesting.

The congregations that will be connected to the live broadcast will listen in to the prayers as they are broadcast. The congregations watching and listening to the programme later should arrange for local elders to say the prayers.

I guess they think Jehovah would have already hung up the phone on the recorded prayers. The local elders have to call him again.

Compliment or criticism - what affects you most?

by EdenOne in

a bit of introspection on this one ... just read on someone's post that a compliment makes him "float" for hours, and it got me thinking; within the spectrum of comments that people make about me, from compliment to criticism, which is the type that most affects me?.

after my experience as a jehovah's witness, i find that i've become suspicious of compliments and over-sensitive to criticism.

because a common technique of elders was to compliment someone before going down to business, that is, giving hard counseling or discipline.

Wild_Thing

I'm always suspicious of compliments. If you criticize me, I know you are telling me how you really feel.

Thank you for redirecting me to the right organization!

by economy in

thank you, jw.net and cofty, for redirecting me to the right organization!.

when i posted why did god permit scriptures to be corrupted?

then i thought, if there is an organization that believes all scriptures are corrupted (which obviously makes it enemy of all religions), that organization is not ordinary, but gutsy, lionhearted, and worthy of close examination!

Wild_Thing

You think that one's funny ... this one is hilarious! The guy looks like he is jacking off under the water while he is ogling her.

Worst Bible Verse ... EVER

by Wild_Thing in

jw
friends

from the nwt, of course.

none of the other versions make it sound any better, either.

2 timothy, chapter 2 has been used and abused to suppress women everywhere.

Wild_Thing

First ... Hawaii Pidgin is awesome! Thanks for that!

Second ... the cruelest and most violent acts are, of course in the OT, but whenever I point out any of those things that are written in the OT, my JW family pulls the ... "yeah, but we are not under the Mosaic Law anymore" and completely miss the point. And I have always wondered and wanted to ask them, "If we WERE still under the Mosaic Law, does that mean you would stone your kids to death if they disobeyed you because the bible says so?" I am afraid the answer would be "yes".
