144K. Were they just the really crazy ones?!? How did they get the call?
by Sailor Ripley ini remember this sister that used to come to the memorials, not sure where she was the rest of the time, that would partake of the offering.
i mean she would take a gulp of the vino and the bread and not one person said a thing.
how did they know they were a part of the super friends?

There was a sister in our cong who was the meanest gossip, the nosiest snoop, and a few fries short of a Happy Meal to boot. One year, she "partook of the emblems," which caused quite a sensation, since she seemed the least likely candidate to someday sit at the right hand of God. But no one ever voiced any doubts publicly.
Privately, however, my mother was shocked; it was the closest she ever came to seriously doubting the validity of the JW faith. Unfortunately, she pushed her doubts back into that dark closet in the mind that all JWs have, and she continued on. -

***What is involved in bringing up children in the "mental-regulating of Jehovah,"***
The term "mental-regulating" is disturbing. Regulating is something one does to a machine, not a child. But maybe that is the intent of the article -- to turn out uniform, "regulated" little Jehovah machines.
(BTW, Blondie, I took your advice. I'm not going to let a few hotheads run me off this board. Thank you so much.) -

***Or did he just freeload off of everyone?***
I don't know much about the culture of the Middle East 2000 years ago, but I believe in India and in the Far East, it was considered an honorable profession for holy men to wander the countryside begging for food. By casting off all ties to society and even to their own physical bodies, they hoped to grow closer to the sacred divine. And it was considered an act of great virtue on the part of those who offered food to these holy monks. -

REALLY, Why Do People Remain Jehovah's Witnesses???
by minimus ini think it's all about fear.
they are always afraid of displeasing jehovah god, the elders, the circuit overseer.
witnesses are always walking on eggshells, hoping that they'll be good enough to make it thru the great tribulation.

Artificial status, sense of superiority, sense of belonging to a privileged few, feeling of protection against the harsh world outside.

***I've personally seen people accept Jesus within 5 minutes of 'bumping' into a born again.***
I bumped into a BA at the grocery store many years ago. For five minutes he kept telling me that "I know Jesus loves you" with an eerie smile on his face and a deer-in-the-headlights look in his eyes. I backed away from him slowly as I edged toward the exit. I can imagine people might want to "accept" Jesus just to get away from them. -

Confucious:
***(please no Flames)***
The Jews in Alaska are going to need them to keep warm.
How exactly would these actions (which are not feasible) solve the world's problems?
Maybe Confucious needs to study the I Ching a bit more. -
