  Why we must obey the F&DS - according to this "brother"

  by bud2114 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  some may have seen this tid-bit being passed around in certain jw email circles.

  a "deeply concerned" jw relative (who knows i have soured on the whole jw thing) emailed this to me in hopes that it would improve my attitude.

  at first i was just going to thank them for their concern and for the "encourgaging" email, but then i decided i must respond to this.

  I just figured I was to stupid to understand it and in time someone smarter then me would help me to understand. Looking back I never really did understand what they were trying to say and then again maybe they didn't understand what they were trying to say either.

  Do you think the guys in the Governing Body belive in the Governing Body?

  i presume they do.

  they are probably so intoxicated by their own power that they belive in the never ending rubbish.. or am i wrong?

  is there other reasons to stay on the top of the hill?.

  Years ago I believe the GB thought they were Gods tool for acomplishing his purpose on earth. You had Knor the great organizer and Franz the theologian. But in truth today all they are is a more powerful Body of Elders. They have elders meetings nothing more nothing less.

  Cross is a pagan symbol, watchtower is a pagan symbol too

  by Noelle in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you all jehovah witnesses that said jesus didn't die on a cross but on a stake your wrong because the romans were pagans and what better way to crucify someone than on a pagan symbol.

  i have a fact that you need to listen to as well, the watchtower which you symbolize is a pagan symbol as well.

  oh no how can that be you ask, well let me tell you.. in ceremonial magic and some traditions of wicca and neopaganism, the four cardinal points are believed to have spiritual guardians called watchtowers.

  There have been good and bad days. She has come to the realization I will not be returning. She goes but more for social reasons then anything else. But each situation is diferent. To tell the truth I think it forced us to talk more then we did before.

  Are You a Closet Apostate Weenie?

  by Farkel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  you count 10 hours per month but havn't even mentioned your beliefs to a non-dub in years.. you underline your study articles at random and write fake notes in the margins.. you smoke joints to get through meetings, field service and assemblies.. you're secretly banging an elder's wife.. you stuff monopoly money in the contribution box.. you keep your eyes open during prayer and giggle.. when everyone else says "amen" at the end of a prayer, you whisper "what bullshit.".

  you have a copy of crisis of conscience in a box buried in your back yard.. you play with an ouija board and watch smurf cartoons when no one is around.. you think "thriller" was the great music video ever made.. you read comic books in the kingdom hall bathroom during meetings.

  when questioned about your long time spent in the bathroom, you whisper "i'm constipated.
