  Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

  by MrFreeze in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

  i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

  i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

  Isn't it weird... we all had 'counselling' when we didn't want it or need it in the borg. But, then when we 'fade' or 'pop' out... we're left wondering what the 'holy hell' is going on, usually without a clue where to start!

  I was counselled for many things... but I suppose my best memory of being 'ticked off by the elders' was for fiddling with the central heating controls in the KH (I was about 16yo at the time)... having popped out for a much needed toilet break - I noticed the heating control unit on the wall.... turned it up to 35c and whacked the 1 hour boost button. It was summer. I told them I thought it was a light switch :o\

  Oh, I also pinned up a politcal party flyer on the notice board for a laugh... that didn't go down well either. Obvisouly the elders aren't Labour supporters ?!

  New Generation understanding tied to Freddie Franz

  by 5thGeneration in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  also don't know if this has been mentioned previously.. our speaker yesterday, gb member br.

  pierce, tied the overlap theory directly to fred franz's lifetime.. did anyone else catch this?.

  evidently (and i'm paraphrasing), anyone anointed after franz's death in 1992 is not of the 'generation'.. 5th.

  Whilst researching the generation thing (online, which is not a particularly good place to look.. but hey) I think I've found the ultimate proof for what a generation is...

  source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Generation_Game

  The Generation Game was a Britishgame show produced by the BBC in which four teams of two (people from the same family, but different generations, hence the title of the show) compete to win prizes.

  Now I've I seen the generation game, and all the contestants were alive... and still considered 'different' generations. Bruce Forsyth, a well known British philosopher and expert on ancient languages (possibly) agrees (maybe).

  Case closed dubs.... you can't argue with wiki, it's like the bible online, but with pictures and stuff.

  The only way to live forever is to do something great.

  The next dub that says "the light's getting brighter" to me...

  ...is going to get his punched out.

  yes, friends, this is another thread about the latest generation teaching.

  so, if you're sick to death of it, leave now, save yourselves.... anyhoo... as the wts has now unleashed on the world the true explanation of generation and what it means for those of us in this time of the end, dubs who accept without question this teaching are 'oohing' and 'ahhing' as the new explanation 'makes so much sense now'.

  Hey, alice... I think you're great. There aren't many people that can copy and paste other peoples thoughts/work as well as you. I mean the way you pasted all that crud from belief.net was truely awesome! Because that's what people come to this forum for, to read lot's of rubbish someone has dumped in a post and passed off as their own.

  You go girl!

  mrsjones, you're providing a great public service there.

  I recently found an Awake magazine in my doctors reception... I didn't bin it... I annotated the article on evolution, I thought it would be better if some JW picked it up a read the comments! Alas, I expect it was a waste of time - however it did keep me from having to pick up 'Devon Life' magazine, which features a vaste array of beautiful houses I can't afford :o( so thanks for that WBTS!!! You rock!

  PS. I've convinced some people that 'Awake' is pronounced 'A-wack-ee'. I don't know why I do it... I think I have mental issues, but it is fun. I tell them the WatchTower is from the US, and the Awackee is from Japan. Most people seem to believe anything you tell them about dubs, it's true... for example, just pick something mundane - for example - tell the next person that asks about dubs... "You know they don't eat fish - it's a sin", or "do you know they can't eat fruit on the third Sunday of each month?". They'll believe you. :P

  Spread the love!

  Neither the Bible or Dictionary support the new light on the Generation

  by wasblind in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to the governing body, the anointed who were on hand in 1914 will overlap the lives of todays anointed.

  these two groups make up one generation.. "bull".

  the bible supports the dictionaries definition of generation, matthew 1:1-17 shows abraham, isaac and jacob as three separate generations, verse 17 says: "all the generations, then, from abraham until david were fourteen generations.. the dictionaries definition say: all people born around the same time; a single stage in the descent of a family or group.

  Hey wasblind, the whole generation thing is a major thorn in the side of the borg. Those of us that lived through the 'change' can only admire the way the org has survived this redefinition of generation - many of us expected/hoped for a mass walk out! We should have known better!

  But to answer your question with a question - where in the bible is there any supporting evidence for "new light" itself?

  If you guys disagree with the chappy in the video, you are, like, totally gay. 'Straight' up. Remember if you're gay, there must be a reason for it - just get over it, like, walk it off or something. Stop killing the sperm, it's nasty.

  It looks like I will become an elder this week!

  that's right guys.

  as i told you before, they boe have been considering me for the eldership.

  which i don't care for, but since my family is stuck in this cult, i guess i can use the new position to help them see that the holy spirit has nothing to do with me being an elder.

  Next you should start mentioning that you believe your 'hope' is more 'heavenly' than you previously thought... and that you're partial to a nice claret.

  underling++ = spirtuality++

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  dos anyone remember how the dubs used to try and show how spirtual they were by how much they had underlined their watchtower?.

  this also happened to their bibles too, i saw one that was almost unreadable due to the mass of neon coloured highlighters and scribbles in the margin, myself i used to think "oooh they must be sooo spirtual!

  " but really... how hard is it to agree with brain washing when your brain washed yourself?

  I used to just highlight the word 'Jehovah' and 'Jesus' as a teenager... that was about 50% of the answers correct.

  I preferred to cover my bible and Watchtower in dribble, usually accumulated whilst attempting to sleep during meetings.

  Eventually I learnt to sleep with my eyes open, could successfully look up Ecclesiastes 1:29 (or some such), and even raise my hand randomly and say 'Geehova, zzzzz, zzzz' if a mic broke my line of dribble whilst dreaming away contently.

  Of course the biggest danger in sleep was the "electric violent head nod of sleep distress" (you guys know what I mean), which could be accompanied by a random outburst (or a sound similar to one acheived by poking a pig with a stick) - experts again learned to blurt out "Geesus, aymen, men, ahmen, <sigh>, zzzzz zzzzz zzz ".

  Some of these techniques serve me well in my career today.
