Get Your Barf Bags Ready.....

this was just posted on an aol jw board:.

jehovah and jesus are really reaching out for those sighing and groaning over the detestable things happening in the earth.. .

thought you might want to hear some interesting news.. .

quixote

I think I figured it out.

It's not 50% but .50%, the decimal was left out. If we take .50% of 85,000,000 it would equal 425 people who responded.

That would make more sense wouldn't it ?

Hambeaks Extremely Heartbreaking News

by Sparkplug in

our friend hambeak just got the most dreaded phone call from his jw child.

the news was passed on as he was asked for by name and not as"dad" and let known that "they" just called to let him know that his other son, brian, age 26, is dead.

he was in a car accident.

What was your final straw that broke your back in terms of doctrine?

by ukescott in

as ex-mormon, my exposure to a different version of the first vision story which was quite different from the offical first vision was my beginning way out of mormonism.

what about you ex-jw's?

what, in terms of wt doctrine, made you realize that the wt is a fraud?.

Ditto to everything said on this thread, but mostly the hipocrasy. Love your neighbor, we'll hate you !

One thursday meeting a prominent elder in the cong. said we should all make a special attempt to go out on service the following Saturday. Put preaching ahead of any personal things you need to do.

So, Saturday morning as I am walking with my companion, we turn the corner onto the street where the Elder lives(d). Guess who is packing their SUV with a picnic basket, beach ball and all the other supplies for a day at the shore ? Yep, you guessed.

Sunday I went to the KH, stayed for 5 minutes and then I just could not control my feet from taking action and escorting me out. Never have been back.

Watchtower logo on side of kingdom hall

by cyberdyne systems 101 in

my old kingdom hall has the watchtower logo built into the brick work on the side that faces the road - to me for a hall that is supposed to be dedicated to god, its a bit wrong to have a corporation logo on the side of it.

maybe its there to show they and not the congregation own it???

cs 101.

quixote

If I can remember correctly my old KH did not have a logo.

However, most of the men, specially elders and MS wore a tie pin with the Watchtower symbol on it. An elder used to sell them and he didn't like it much when I refused one.

Thanks all now I'm leaving

by wozadummy in

due to funkyderek i have come to the decision to leave this board.

when i posted on the current gay thread in a way that i thought would stimulate thinking and lighten up the seriosness of the thread and have a laugh, he and others put me down publically labelling me.

so i find it difficult now to continue posting knowing that someone has influenced others into thinking that i'm not worthy of being here because my phrasing and spelling is bad and that i'm apparently a "hyporite".
