  Being Bad in the Kingdom Hall

  by Funchback in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  what things did (do) you or someone you know do in the kingdom hall that was a no-no?.

  i remember in the 80s when, during the meeting, three friends and i were breakdancing in the foyer.

  3 out of 4 us are happily out of that organization.. as i was trudging through my fade and attending meetings, i sometimes dwelled on how much time and money i wasted during my years as a jw.

  Way back, when I still had a key to the Kingdom Hall, I used to go inside when no one was around. The metal file cabinet with all the congregation records became my own personal reading library. Although it was locked, I knew how to trip the lock by hand and get into the 'secret files'. When I was done reading, I would put the files back and reset the lock. No one ever knew. The coolest thing that I found out involved an Elder that had moved into our congregation. He claimed to be of the anointed and was kind of a jerk. The letter from his former congregation said that he had left abruptly under suspicious circumstances but they did not know of any sins that he committed. If the new congregation wanted to appoint him as an Elder that was their business. At any rate, on numerous occasions, the anointed Elder would give service talks and go on and on that he was sent to this congregation by the Society to help it out and strengthen it. "Did you know that? Did you know the Society sent me here to HELP this congregation?" Bullshit artist of the highest order. I never told anyone else what I knew from reading the files. It was really none of my business, so I figured it was definitely none of anyone else's business.

  "But when she came to the end of her demonstration, Blondie thrust out her hand to return the sacred microphone to it's stand, for she would not wait for an appointed male servant of Jehovah to aid her. At that, Jehovah's anger blazed against Blondie and struck her down right there on the stage in front of the whole congregation for her irreverent act." 2 Samuel 6:6-7 N.W.T. Revised 2013, reinterpreted by me to fit the current circumstances (much like the Governing Body does with anything they pull from the Bible)

  Cart "Witnessing"

  by Funchback in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  besides being a waste of time for those doing it, and being an easy way for the society to inflate its reports of time spent in the ministry, cart witnessing is also taking up space.

  i live in a hot city in brazil.

  today, the jws decided to set up their cart in the shady spot of the bus stop, where people going to work have to wait for the bus.. ugh!.

  Who are the "Inactive"?

  2. beliefs

  this was my starting point in this journey of rediscovery, and i've made great strides, but here i am again asking the same question.

  all this talk re the rc and the shunning of the inactive ones.

  there is no announcement made obviously about "shun sister so-and-so, as she is inactive.

  The UNHOLY TRININTY of it's day. N.H.Knorr, J.F.Rutherford and H.C.Covington.

  Notice the 'smiles' on the faces of Covington and 'Brownie' Knorr........both fawning over Rutherford like he was Jesus Christ himself.

  TimeBandit, your work is FANTASTIC!

  I thought of an animated parody that you could make based on the Wizard of Oz. You could call it: THE WIZARD OF A LOST CAUSE.

  
  Wizard of a Lost Cause: Jehovah

  Scarecrow: N.H. Knorr

  Cowardly Lion: J. F. Rutherford

  Tin Man: C.T. Russell

  Wicked Witch: Maria Russell

  Munchkins: Circuit and District Overseers

  Flying Monkeys: Evil Slave Class

  Dorothy: Rose Ball or Berta Peale

  Soldiers at the Castle: Dismissed members of the original Board of Directors

  Uncle Henry: Lon Schilling or John Marcus or John Booth

  Auntie Em: Ladonna Schilling or Estelle Marcus or Ethel Kadelchick (Ethel from Bethel)

  Just a thought. Maybe some other ex-Bethelites have some ideas. Billy?
