  Anybody attended the Memorial last night? What was your experience?

  by Cindi_67 in

  for the first time in a year i set foot on a kh.

  the memorial to me is still somewhat sacred so i decided to attend.

  i thought i would feel different, in the sense that maybe i would miss meetings, but i was wrong.

  I went last night to congregation I attended over 3 years ago. I would say about 75% of the people didn't recognize me because of my shaggy hair. When my mom told them who I was the love bombing commenced. They would say how much they missed me and how I should "visit" more often, then they ignored me the rest of the night. One gungho super elder practically cornered me and offered me to study with him, he was waaaayy too pushy. I later told my mom "you can always depend on Bro. Superelder to make you feel uncomfortable (this same bro. would always ask in front of everyone where you were and why you were gone if you missed a few meetings).

  I noticed in the memorial talk, for the first time, how much they jump around in the scriptures to "prove" the 144,000 are the annointed. Listening with a critical ear I could tell how absurd it was.

  While they were passing the wine the bro. giving the talk explained how wine was made and how fermentation took place so at least I learned something.

  All-in-all it was an hour and a half of wasted life I'll never get back.

  The (Un-memorable) Memorial. 30 minutes of sitting around hearing the same tired crap about Jesus and Jehoover and how utterly special the (un-)faithful & (un-)discreet slave are. Then passing around a couple crackers and some wine.....And you don't even get to eat or drink it! Since I'm unfortunately going to this year's memorial (ugh!) I think I'll bring some cheese for those crackers. At least I'll get a snack.

  I have a Dell 21" widescreen digital LCD. I love it, way better than any CRT monitor I've ever used. I've also had a Dell 17" and 19" LCD, they're reasonably priced, sometimes they come as a free upgrade when you by a Dell computer online.

  Urban Legends in the JWs

  by Country Girl in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what was your favorite urban legend whilst you were in the jws that you now know to be just a buncha hullaballoo?

  my favorite one was when a child brought a smurf doll to the kingdom hall and that thing just got up and went screaming out of the kingdom hall on its' own two feet.

  i cracked up on that one.. .

  I just heard a new one. Not so much an urban legend just a ridiculous statement to boost JW's ego's. According to a JW in my old cong. the great Bill Gates of Microsoft absolutely loves to hire JW's because of their honesty and work ethic, he seeks them out. This is evident, according to this person, because a lot of JW's in the Seattle/Redmond area in Washington state work for Microsoft.

  This is ridiculous for two reasons

  1. I highly doubt that Bill Gates has anything to do with hiring for Microsoft except maybe the executives, and even then probably only a very very small percentage of them.

  2. Microsoft is a HUGE corporation that has over 33,000 employees in Washington State alone therefore it's no surprise that a percentage of them are JW's.

  OK, one more reason

  3. The JW's I've known have no better work ethic than anyone else I've seen, they're pretty normal really.

  Silly JDubs.

Anyone else done or heard of this? I think there was a stop put to this by the old-fashioned types in the cong.

  What happens AFTER baptism?

  by onlycurious in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my friend is getting baptised sometime in april.

  i have lots of questions.. first of all, she willing inquired about some christian books i have and is currently reading them.

  both have to do with purity but i am sure she would notice some theological differences when she reads them.

  Now to answer the posted question "What happens after baptism".

  As you arise out of the water a vision of a white dove appears to you and God's voice is heard saying

  "RUN....RUN...FAST AND FAR....GET OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE AND DO NOT LOOK BACK OR I WILL SMITE THEE AND TURN THEE INTO A PILLAR OF SODIUM CHLORIDE"
