my sister last night was talking to me and saying, "you need to be careful that your son does not repeat the things you say about the new age thinking, wicca*, etc.
as most people are scared of that stuff and he will get looked down upon by others.
" i thought about this all day, and was thinking about something.
"You need to be careful that your son does not repeat the things you say about the new age thinking, Wicca*, etc. As most people are scared of that
Well, if he was a little Witness child, he would be going aroung telling kids that they were going to be destroyed at Armageddon for celebrating Valentine's Day. I don't see how your son talking about crystals or energy meridians would have any more harm on others.
when i was a teenager we had these two annointeds in our hall, man and woman, very very gung-ho elder, pioneer type.
well, they had an affair for many years and then got df...i always wondered, if god chose them to be annointed, did he now reject them.....or did they just take a break, because as soon as they got reinstats they were partaking again?????
what was the official stance on that???
I guess it's like a ball player who goes on the disabled list.

I'm sorry; I still think she's hot.
i've been doing some research about the 1935 date when jehovah supposedly stopped choosing anointed ones.
to me, there seems to be a major problem with this teaching, that the governing body or your general members don't seem to have picked up on.
w 02 2/1 pg 20 para 6 .
Once again, if Jehovah planned this system to go to 2015, how could he have expected the anointed to look after the Great Crowd? They'd all be 100 by this time! He must be pretty glad that some of these were unfaithful!
Maybe Jehoober will go to Home Depot and pick up a bunch of "theocratic" day laborers to replace the remnant.
posted this as a response on another thread, but i know there are people who want this as a new discussion.
i'm sure there are many good people watching these discussions who know you want to leave, but also know that this is what may await you - family alienation and pain.
if you haven't already overtly left, my advice to you is this: don't succumb to the disfellowshipping process.
I wish they would not coerce or allow children to get baptised. Everywhere I turned as a teenager, someone was asking me with that goofy looking smile, "When are you going to dedicate your life to Jehovah?" All the stories about 9 and 10 year olds getting baptised
Isn't it interesting that in the JW religion, 13,14,15 year-olds are considered old enough, and mature enough to make these kinds of huge, life-altering decisions. Yet, an 18 or 19 year old is too young and immature to make the decision to get married.
.
dont you hate it when dubs refer to their pets as jw pets and would not give them a blood transfusion?!?!?!
whats up with that???
It was really hard for me to shun my goldfish when it got disfellowshipped.
thats funny.
everything ended in "as it were".
where i used to attend.
"Are we not grateful, then, for these fine blessings, blablabla..." "Is Jehoopla not richly blessing us?" (frenzied seals clapping)
Yeah, and the recycled phrase that used to irritate the heck out of me was: "are we not grateful for this abundant spiritual banquet that Jehover has provided us through the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class?" At that point, is when I either reached for my barf bag, or my pack of Role-Aids.
i've recently heard that the harry potter series had been "translated" in american english.
i've read books in both british english and american english for years and i've never perceived them as 2 different languages.
there are a few differences like there are differences between canadian french and belgian french but it's still the same language, right?
I remember I bought a Stephen King novel in England a few years ago and the same thing had happened: the book had been completely rewritten in British English.
This must have created some perplexity. When you would read a phrase such as "bloody little girl", you wouldn't know if she was really bleeding, or if the narrator was just pissed off at her.
thats funny.

How about "And the evildoers, THAT IS, <insert whomever their mad at today>A bible scripture would be quoted and THAT AS would be their interpretation of whom someone 2,000 years ago was referring to.
Yeah, it cracks me up how they will quote from the Apostle Paul to say that true Christians would not want to participate in paint-ball.
i just got my mini cooper back from the shop the other day.
it was looking great with all of the damage repaired.......... but then just a few minutes ago i was driving down the highway and something, i don't know what, but something very hard and heavy slammed into my hood ripping three gouges all the way through the stripes and paint and all the way deep into the metal.
what the hell???????
Sounds like your car is cursed with some sort of death with
Yeah, Elsewhere. Maybe your car is like Balaam's Ass.
