  Big Announcement

  by choosing life in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i can't help but wonder why if there is really some ground shaking announcement coming that the elders already know, then why has no one posted any real information about it?

  i was under the impression that there are active elders on this forum.

  why are they holding back?

  So in a way, we are being controlled also. We are also in expectation of the "Big announcement", just like all the JW's

  since we have faded from the hall most everyone avoids us except for a couple of young ones that will stop by for a visit .

  last night a young woman in her twenties came over we talked about several things, and she brought up that a while back she had seriously thought of suicide .

  i asked if there were reasons as to why ?

  Mary,

  You are so right. One of the coolest sister at my old KH when I was growing up was a young and independant. I think I meant her before. But anyway she worked fulltime and was a fulltime pioneer. Very smart, took some college classes, so she had a decent job. But the brothers were always up her ass. She did so much with young sister and brothers. Taking us boweling, skating, ice skating, plays. She put in major time and she alway got shitted on for having an independent spirit. Who else was putting in time with us? None of the elders were. She eventually moved because they became so unbearable after she moved out her mom house into her own place. They claimed she was going to end up Df'd because she had too many oportunities to for wrong doing.

  Well she left and basically all the young people in the congergation went down fell. It was crazy. I know they even threatened to take away her pioneer privilige if they even heard rumors about her, because they told her to stay put.

  Some of those elders are power hungry!

  What reaction would the JW's have if you walked into the Kingdom Hall?

  for those who didn't attend meetings for a while, imagine that you just walk into your kingdom hall 10 minutes before a meeting.

  what would be their reaction?

  I really want to partake at the next memorial, just freak them out. We should stage a mass return for the memorial just so we could partake of the emblems. It would be so hilarious, I do care about how they would react to that. AHHH the horror on their faces. lmao

  Does the GB truly beleive they are being used by God

  by sspo in

  .

  what do you think?.

  i have a hard time accepting the fact that intelligent men truly beleive the creator has a special arrangement with them and somehow they are being used in a special position because of one scripture about the faithful and discreet slaves.. they should all be locked up in a nut house for beleiving that.

  I don't even know Leolaia, so I can't comment on that. But if her post is too long( like a whole damn page!), I'm not reading it either.

  The watchtower admit to being a false religion!

  by fullofdoubtnow in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the forthcoming tract, "the end of false religion is near", contains this statement about how false religions will behave on page 2: .

  tolerates immoral sex: in western lands, church groups ordain gay and lesbian members of the clergy and urge governments to recognize same - sex marriages.

  even churches that condemn immorality have tolerated religious leaders who have sexually abused children.. frankly, i don't know how they dare include this statement.

  I understand you Dansk, But I agree with Lowden.

  I maynot be sittin on the fence, but if I was, I would never read all the crap he writes. It's just too long! After a few paragraphs, I'm snozing. I cannot honestly believe that lurkers read all of that mess either. So I'll just ignore him, like I'm sure plenty of others do.

  Possable "New Light"?

  by 2112 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  with all the "buzz" around the up-comming october anouncment, i have a question.

  i have thought about this for a long time, is it possable that they would tell all those married to non-witnesses to divorce their mates?

  it could be for the reason of "unevenly yoked", and/or keeping spritually clean.

  I can't see that being one of the big announcements.
