  Is it necessary to prepare for the Watchtower or book study?

  by BashfulAshG in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  all of my years in the truth, i never understood why we had to study before each meeting.

  the contents are self-explanatory with the answers to the printed question within the first or the last sentence of the paragraph.

  then, commenting never made sense, especially comments and experiences that don't answer the printed question.

  Just more control on you life by controlling your time. Used to hate it when my dad would make us study for that crap!

  Paraplegic JW example used at assemblies

  by Alfred in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  it seems like every time our circuit failed to meet the field service goals set by our co, the very next circuit assembly would invariably include a talk that mentions a chronically ill paraplegic sister who would dial the phone with her tongue to make return visits or conduct bible studies... i must have heard this experience at least 6 or 7 times in the past 20 years or so.

  and every time i heard this recycled talk, they would add even more guilt-inducing twists to it.

  to me, it eventually became way to difficult to believe...

  "Did she also float across crocodile-infested streams in her iron lung, in order to attend the meetings?"

  Yeah and she did it with a pencil in her ass!

  A Total Waste of Time "In The Field"

  so i am walking down the street in a spanish neighborhood and two men, obviously jw's, are standing between houses writing furiously on their tiny slips.

  i am nearly a block away approaching and they just kept writing the whole time i walked up.

  i finally arrive to pass them and they are still both writing.

  Grew up in Spanish congregation. We would have to search for the Spanish-speaking households by knocking at every 3rd or 4th door. We would ask the householder if they knew if any of their neighbors were Spanish-speaking and then off we would go. We would put hours in at the Lilly-white neighborhoods without ever having to give a presentation. Then maybe the one or two Hispanics we found in those neighborhoods usually spoke better English than the rest of them! LOL Loved it!

  Now the hood was a different story!

  In your opinion: What would a teacher of the English language say about the way Anthony Morris III speaks?

  by LogCon in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  considering the language, wording and grammar of anthony morris iii, if a teacher on the english language, at a prestigious university were to analyze anthony's public speaking, what comments and conclusions would they come to?

  i say public speaking, because i would assume that an individual would be more careful with their words when spoken in public, than in private.

  serious comments would be appreciated, however, i realize that outlaw and a few others are probably on a page of their own.. .

  Teacher would have slapped his silly ass upside the head and told him to stop speaking like a douchebag! No disrespect to Masingel.

  Prayer - The ultimate act of stupidity

  by Doltologist in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  prayer is the act of saying something to someone that doesn't exist.

  above all else, we need to respect ourselves for, if we don't, we are not capable of respecting others..

  thirdly, bow to no one for if they had any respect for you, they wouldn't ask you to bow..

  I am amused how some atheist are always attacking those who believe in a God or higher-self. Can't they just leave those alone who believe and stop attacking them or insulting their practices? Those who do the attacking obviously have real issues themselves..

  HAHA! Just thinking that with his position he could probably get some hot young pioneer sister! But shagging him would be the equivalent of having Henry VIII bang away on top of you!! Way big and clammy!

  Street Witnessing - did you ever do it?

  by Muddy Waters in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember in our congregation, there were a few older pioneer sisters who would start counting their time early - even before the service arrangement - by standing at a street corner and holding the magazines up in front of them and hoping that any passersby might stop to take one on their way to work or whatever.

  as a fresh, new dub, i had heard about this "street-witnessing" work, but there was only one time i ever actually saw one of these older sisters doing this.

  and even then i was shocked and embarrassed for her.... because this poor old sister was standing there, all by herself, holding up the watchtower & awake magazines, yet looking as sad and depressed as she could possibly ever look, her whole mouth was turned down just totally sad as she stood there, observing all the "dead" people walking around, hurrying to catch buses, get kids to school, get to work, etc.

  As a teenager I lived in Vegas and we had a Friday night meeting. Afterwards I would go stay the night at my buddies house. We would sneak out to go buy beer and either buy Playboy or Penthouse whichever was available at the local 7-11. We would drink and oogle the pictures until late into the night and then get up early still buzzing to go do street work in downtown Las Vegas! We probable stunk like booze the same as many of the homeless down there. We went primarily to get our time in early and check out the hotties from other congregations.

  There came a point that there were hundreds of JW's down there and I heard the circuit gave a talk and it was cut way back.

  Yes, I did post a portion of this previously.
