Nothing even interesting isn't going to happen because when Fred Franz died, the WTS lost their "visionary." I think that's why The Revelation book is being studied again.....there is just nobody up there in Bethel who can come up with anything better or even more exciting....

Figures. Well, maybe something drastic will happen to the bOrg. I guess I'm just grasping at straws here.

How many 'real" friends did you ever really have in ther "truth'

by The Lone Ranger in

jw
friends

sure we got to know a lot of people, we knew a lot more people then the average person, but how many real friends did we ever have?

a friend that we could trust, that we could confine in.

i can say i had just one, bro x and even then i still had to be careful, bro x is an elder now and he tells me that im the only real friend hes ever had, he cant freely talk to anyone.

SirNose586

I'm not sure. The one good friend I have now might shun me if I left the JWs. He shuns very good friends of his like a good dub. So I guess I have zero real friends in the truth.

Big Announcementitis - JWs and 'Postates

by slimboyfat in

what is it with jehovah's witnesses and apostates and "big announcements" - they are as bad as each other.

witnesses are always on about big announcements in the pipeline - just to end up being disappointed.

like the time they reduced the pioneers hours - big wow.

Yeah, ok, maybe I'm impatiently waiting on something that might never materialize. I just want something...interesting....to happen every so often. I've already figured out that I probably won't be able to "exit stage left" until something polarizing comes along.

This quote says it all...

for the first time in my life, i was reading things, which had not been approved by the prophet's censors, and the impact on my mind was devastating.

sometimes i would glance over my shoulder to see who was watching me, frightened in spite of myself.

i began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny.

Hey, hopefully the revolt will come before them, eh?

Here we go - elder's hassle AK Jeff - round three.....

by AK - Jeff in

first in april - i get a call from two elder's trying to set up a meeting i assume [ i told them not interested in speaking to them and hung up ] some may recall that thread.. then last month - two more show up at the house, and wifey ignores them at the door.

[i am at work].

tonight - 'brother t' calls on the phone and asks for me.

Very flippant letter; I like it. Of course they've got neither scrotum nor backbone so they aren't going to take your deal. At least you were able to end things on your terms.

Wow, I'm really motivated not to care about this. Where's the armageddon pictures? C'mon! It doesn't feel right if there isn't somebody with moustache and sideburns being tossed into a yawning chasm!

Remember those toolbox-like briefcases some of the brothers had?

by WingCommander in

i bet some still carry them.

you all know what i'm talking about; there were at least 3 brothers in the congregation that had one.

thank god my father wasn't one of them.

SirNose586

This pioneer family in my hall each have their own individual briefcase that they have to wheel in for every meeting. The father has the very same toolbox/briefcase that was described at the outset. It's a pain for the mic runners. But he and his family are master salespersons, so I guess they just need more room for the product.

how evil are you

.

take the test:.

how evil are you?

SirNose586

Sir - I am 40% evil. So I have 2% more evilness in me than you.

So what are you saying, looking glass? That I'm the skim-milk version of evil? I think I'm going to have to one-up you. I think I should find some minors to corrupt (like my friends do) or some people to turn others against (like the P.O. does).

we now have a date for armageddon august 22, 2006.. .

a top expert on the mideast says it is possible iran could pick aug. 22, 2006 the anniversary of one of islam's holiest events, for a cataclysm shiite muslims believe will forever resolve the battle between "good" and "evil.

SirNose586

Oh excellent, a new date for Armageddon! And it's tomorrow--how convenient!
