  Kingdom Halls open to hurricane flood victims??

  by Sugar Shane in

  2. scandals

  there are other threads dealing with jws actions, or non-actions in response to the houston flooding.

  i started this thread to find out specifically if kingdom halls, or assembly halls are being used to help victims.

  not just other jws, but innocent victims of all walks: men, women, children & pets.

  THat's what I wanted to know since a few days ago someone posted here how an acquaintance of theirs said they would pack their "go bag" and go the nearest KH after watching that video of doom and destruction. For the Houston area they'e experiencing just about the same thing, so did all of Jah's faithful try to get to a flooded KH for the empty headed elders to give them further direction? . . . smh just thinking about that

  Joel Osteen's Church is a Cult too ??

  it's being said all over social media that joel osteen hasn't opened his mega church for refuge during the storm, pictures are showing this area is not flooded.

  i made a few comments myself saying that the jws only help their own in time of need but this god fearing man isn't helping anyone.. just what religion is he and his followers, i guess it's one of those non-denomination churches that collect a shitload of bucks to him and wife so he can afford the glamorous life, nothing new of course, i thought he was just a bit different than the others, fooled me..

  Whether he opens his mega-church to the needy or not, doesn't matter - he's still a charlatan and a crook.

  So true, so true. Makes want to Google just how long the saying "religion is a snare and racket" has been around. However, I still say the Dubs are the absolute worse at helping folks if they're not a member of the cult, even if they are, many have written here how faithful old timers are in a nursing home and have yet to receive visitors from the KH.

  Did You Enjoy Your "Vacations " As a JW?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  we went on "vacation " every year because we were jehovah's witnesses!

  we were so fortunate to stay in a cheap hotel more often than not so that we could enjoy a witness convention.. we never enjoyed a real vacation though until many years later and the funny thing is---so many jws thought it was so materialistic because we went on more than one "vacation " per year..

  My father was not yet duped by da troof when I was growing up, but whenever we did go on a summer vacation my mother always managed to find a KH to attend in most of the places we visited, what a buzzkill. She always said "wherever you go can always find Jehovah's people and hear the same exact thing we would be hearing at home" . . . .ugh, sickening just to remember that.

  Cart Witnessing in Giethoorn, Netherlands (My recent experience)

  by Alfred in

  2. experiences

  so i visited the netherlands last week and decided to stop by giethoorn.

  this is a town whereby many (if not most) of the homes are accessed by small boats via narrow water canals.

  during the summer months, the residents of this isolated picturesque town welcome visitors with their seasonal tourist attractions such as canal cruises on eco-friendly boats, restaurants and a small museum which highlights the history of the town.

  Maybe a strong wind will come by and blow the cart into that pond

  I see the witnessing work is worldwide as well as the Dubs lazy attitude toward spreading the good news

  Relaxed rules toward oral sex?

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  these people won't state anything definitively, but here's an excerpt from the study article entitled "making christian marriage a success", in the august, 2016 watchtower.

  it does make me wonder.. although the bible does not provide specific rules about the kinds and limits of love play that might be associated with natural, sexual intimacy, it mentions displays of affection.

  (song of solomon 1:2; 2:6) christian marriage partners should treat each other with tenderness.

  I can't imagine being married for years and fighting the desire to do it...

  I think you can only fight that urge for so long, I bet not to many are actually abstaining from it

  Sounds like you at bethel back when a family friend was there, did you know Thomas (Tom) Miles from Philly? I remember someone else saying he was total company boy, pompous prick. Did you have the good fortune to run into him while you were there?
