Suggestion for title of final Final Talk from GB

by sparrowdown in

ok, so it's right before the big a.. gb are just about to depart heavenward but not before leaving us something to remember them by.. so after several rounds of rock, paper, scissors one of them goes up to the podium, adjusts his tie, clears his throat and says....... .

"so long, and thanks for all the fish".

now anyone familiar with hitch hikers guide to the galaxy would know that was.

Bizarre comment about jw.org at SAD

by sir82 in

recently attended a sad.. bethel speaker was gushing about the wt's embrace of new technology, in the part of his talk warning about "apostate" web sites.. a loose summary of his comments:.

"and the brothers at headquarters have made it very safe for you to go to our website.

in fact, the brothers talked to the folks at google, and they made a special arrangement so that when you type in 'j w period' into the google search engine, it automatically shows you the jw.org website.

The WT is late to the internet game and already they are at the top of it, have the best website in the world, have the most visited page in the world, and make Google do whatever they want. Yeah sure.

In the letter it says: "Effective immediately, zone overseers will be called "headquarters representatives.".

"Effective immediately". Like if a change of term is a big deal!!!

Any New Light(TM) for 2014?

by punkofnice in

i know there has been some real nauseating rubbish in the publications recently.

the governing body(r) are god it would seem.. each year the wbt$ trots out some real hilarious nonsense to make the drones feel as if they have special knowledge.

like the 'toes are not significant(tm)' from a couple of years ago.. ....and......my all time fave 'overlapping generations(tm)'.

Lots of money that wouldn't be sent on to "Mother" if they're spending it at the local liquor store.

They can always use water and say that water=wine. That's it.

Anyhow, I have zero idea of what's coming in new as "new light" for 2014, but I think they will come up with something kinda big. Remember, this is the year for the International Conventions (TM). The GB will be there for the spotlight. Get your eyes ready for the "New Flashes of Light". Or not.

On a Scale of 1 to 10---How Devoted Were You To Being One of Jehovah's Witnesses?

by minimus in

as i grew up in the religion, i was a 10. i wanted to be made a "servant" because that was instilled in me from infancy.

i diligently studied ever piece of watchtower literature and defended my religion intensely.. when i got into my 30's, i started to see little cracks in the watchtower's surface but decided to "wait on jehovah".

then i started to research a little more critically and realized i couldn't defend the prophecies, the treatment of people and the hypocrisy that was becoming more obvious, that especially an elder can see.. it was a gradual thing---from a 10 to a zero!.
