  Most Annoying Things That Happen At JW Meetings

  by LittleSister in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  today i was remembering how angry i used to get at the meetings and all the little irritations that in the end would just make my blood boil these included:.

  prayers that go on foreverstudy or wt conductors still taking comments when its clear that the point has been covered 20 times alreadymeetings over running by more than 5 minsmy favourite was this one elder who would play guess the point i am thinking of.

  he would keep rephrasing the question from the wt until someone would bring up the point he was thinking of.

  Jury, err, Judicial Committee Nullification

  just had a brain fart and i don't think i'll actually try this, but see what you think.. .

  i made myself a promise that i was done serving on jcs roughly 2 years ago.

  and, with the exception of a rubber stamp reinstatement charade, i've kept that promise.

  The End of Circuit Overseers

  by scotsman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  is indeed apparently nigh as another poster predicted along with the end of the weekly bs.

  not sure when this should take place but i'm reliably informed by a family member that one of the uk's overseers was talking about it fairly recently.

  reduced to weekend visits by an outside but local elder instead.. i have no further info..

  Lurkers! How do you put up with it?

  by PopeOfEruke in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i just cannot understand how any one in their right mind can read the experiences here concerning the wachtower society's false claims, lies, trickery and deceit, and the example shown by the so-called "elders" in treating the flock with disdain and cruelty, and still stay a jehovah's witness.. lurkers, how can you do that?

  do you simply dismiss all the evidence?

  have any of you experienced such evil acts personally and still stay connected to the jw's?.

  How about birthdays?

  by molybdenum in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  hi... i'm a newbie here.

  i have been associated with jw's for quite some time however there is one aspect of being a witness that i can't quite come to terms with that is the prohibition on celebrating a person's birthday i have of course read the arguments for this but find them somewhat unconvincing.

  is it really the case that everyone follows this direction?

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  by Nosferatu in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.
