  Grand and Lesser Apostate Delusions

  by slimboyfat in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what is it makes some of those wacky apostates appear from time to time claiming russell and the witnesses were/are all part of some great freemason/illuminati plot?

  i'll tell you what it is, and it may explain a few other things for you too!

  people who come up with these theories demonstrate a basic psychological insecurity stemming from their involvement and subsequent disentanglement from the witnesses.

  Were the Pharisees well-intentioned yet simply misguided? Or had they started power tripping?

  The Governing Body answer to no one except God and we have to take their word for that.

  They have tremendous influence and power. Lord Acton, a British historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries said

  'Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

  You ask, "So why won't apostates simply accept that Witnesses are well-intentioned yet simply misguided?"

  Many see them as modern day Pharisees.

  does anyone know if there is any information on whether it is correct or not for elders to allow a private wedding at the kh?

  it was my understanding that the kh was a public place.

  The bastards have marked me!

  so, i'd been invited to a jw 'friends' house this evening, but before i went, i went out with some work mates, something i've been doing a bit more of recently.

  i told him i'd be home about 7.30 and for him to phone me after that time when he wants me to come round, so i get back about that time, popped onto jwd, whilst awaiting my phone call, got nothing, so i phoned him up a few minutes ago, and he told me that he'd discussed it with the others, and since i've been going out with worldly people so much, they want me to stop that association before they let me start associating with them again!

  i'm really fucking angry here now!

  If these wqere real friends they would have spoken to you earlier about their concerns. Obviously they were talking about it among themselves and came to the decision to mark you.

  Can you imagine your workmates telling you you can't go out with them after work because you hang out with JW's sometimes?

  When your "friend" calls to confirm field service plans, tell him Tone wants to talk to him. When he says, Tone? Whose Tone. Tell him, dial-tone and loudly hang the phone up on his hypocritical ear.

  Is Street Corner Work Dead ???

  by Poztate in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  years ago my wife and i used to spend an hour every saturday morning between 8-9 at the street corner work?

  at 9am we would proceed to the group for the pep talk and then put in at least another two hours in service?

  we were not the only ones in the street corner work.

  Here they stand on the corner or sit on benches drinking coffee, talking to each other and counting time.

  I watch them standing in front of the Kingdom Hall laughing, talking on their cell phones counting time.

  They walk for blocks conversating with one another, ignoring passersby...still counting time.

  It's all about the quantity of time they can put on their monthly time slip. Quality doesn't matter.

  I've approached some let people pass by without saying anything and asked them is that field service?

  Are you counting time letting people pass by? It's fun putting them on the spot.

  Why are the world's anointed not called to Brooklyn to be Governing Body?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when i was in the witnesses, and near the end of my time in.

  there was the whole new understanding, of putting non-anointed people in positions in the organization that were normally something an anointed person would be in.

  i remember them mentioning that the amount of anointed was dwindling and there needed to be people in these positions of responsibility, to make sure the work continues.. after this was highlighted and all good witnesses swallowed this thinking hook line and sinker.

  If I was of the annointed I woudld want to know why the GB doesn't consult with me

  when making decisions, especially since they claim to represent the annointed earthwide.

  How can you represent me when you don't even acknowledge me?
