  Too sick or injured but still made it to the meeting!

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i once attended a two day special assembly with my gums bleeding after having 4 widom teeth pulled the day before.

  i managed the two days by rinsing out my mouth all day long and placing cotton in my mouth.. one brother had back surgery the week before but attended a two day assembly by laying on a matress in the back of the assembly hall.

  why he needed to be there i'll never understand!.

  Is the Universe Conscious?

  by still thinking in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  does the universe have a collective consciousness?.

  at the sub nuclear level of reality...we are all one.

  at the core basis of the universe is a single universal field of intelligence.

  I think a good question is to ask

  "Is the Brother taking the WT study conscious"

  Read para 1/ question/ answer( directly from the paragraph)

  Read Para 2/ question/ answer ( directly from the paragraph)

  Read para 3& 4 / questions / answer ( directly from the paragraph)

  continue to end of study article........

  How can someone be conscious and do this?

  hi folks!.

  someone told me that there is a rumor that soon the watchtower and awake's magazines will be only one (fusion).. anybody knows something concrete about that, or is only rumor instead?.

  In my congrgation the Brother explaining this "nesting" took about 5 mins

  putting it in and pulling it out to show us exactly what it means.

  I was thinking that the magazines have shrunk in size so when you hold it,

  it feels like a pamphlet. So by "nesting" the AW inside the WT it feels thicker

  and therefore gives some " weight" to the message.

  Maybe they have been eating too many Domino's pizza at Bethel.

  Isn't this the same as what John Lennon wrote in 1967

  I am the walrus

  I am he as you are he as you are me

  And we are all together

  Gerrit Loesch was at our DC today!

  by goatshapeddemon in

  2. beliefs

  so, unexpectedly, the final talk was announced today and to my surprise and evil glee, they announced gerrit loesch as the speaker!

  first off, at the beginning of his talk, he interrupted himself in the middle of his sentence to scold the microphone brother to lower my mike it's right in my face.. anyway, it was the talk on inspired truth, vs. inspired falsehoods.

  he went through 6 expressions inspired by the demons.

  I read the words of Robert King

  He really made me think

  His words were like a water spring

  I took a long long drink

  Then I read Perimino

  I knew it was the truth

  Ah, here's the way I need to go

  I felt like dancing on the roof

  Then I came to JWD

  The thoughts here were so strong

  The leavers , faders felt like me

  How could the GB be so wrong?

  We are the FD Slave

  The generation overlaps

  new light over which to rave

  rabbits out of magic hats?

  Which way to go

  I have to think and think

  I really do not know

  It seems I'm always on the brink

  I am lost and in fear

  It isn't right

  The truth should be clear

  like a beacon bright

  Should I stay or should I go?

  what course is best for me?

  it really is so hard to know

  I pray on bended knee

  "...and I heard that the end was soooooooooooooooooooooooooo close you could smell it."

  My mother passed seven years ago, but in her last few years (after hearing all my life about being in the last days) she always said 'we're on the fringe" of the end of things, I often wonder what she would say now in 2013, about 7 or 8 years after being on the "fringe".

  ***************************

  Yeah, must have been one of those long fringe skirts.

  It's like ....."Armaggedon is round the corner". It's the longest corner I've ever come across.

  Actually it drives me round the bend when I hear that.

  for those of you who are "out" forcibly ( disfellowshipped) or voluntarily ( dissasociated) is there anything.

  that you actually miss about the witnesses or meetings?.

  Brothers who were held back from being elder for stupid reasons?

  by toto555 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  do you know of any cases where brothers didn't get to be elder for a stupid/bogus reason even though they otherwise qualified?

  do you think some/most appointments are politicially motivated?

  how much do you think politics plays in the appointment process versus merit?

  Quote : Room 215 " If any one were "turned down" from being an Elder,they were done an immense favor.

  That is so true....

  I was an Elder once and when I look back I can see how full of myself I was.

  Huddling in secret Elders meetings, going to Elders school, giving the congregtion needed "counsel".

  The adulation after giving a public talk. Great stuff !

  But I stepped down, and now I can see how much I was caught up in that "position" thinking.

  Now I can avoid those deadly Elders meetings, no school to have to attend where we are told to be loving and caring while at

  the same time being indoctrinated with all the rules that they say they don't have.

  No " shepherding calls" which were masked as such but really were done to lay down the law to those not

  doing what was considered necessary. ( Get your 10 hours in !).

  I got human again.

  Looooooooooong Prayers...

  by likeabird in

  1. watchtower

  let's have a bit of a laugh.. .

  who of you rolled your eyes when brother never ending prayers was called up to give the closing prayer?.

  who of you then proceeded to tap your feet, fidget loudly or start doing balancing acts off the back of the chair in front of you while waiting for it to end?.

  Some just don't get it, so after a mammoth prayer, I usually say " thanks for giving two public talks today"

  or "Is this a new arrangement, to give an extra 10 min item after the service meeting?"

  I usually get a blank look but, hopefully, what I am trying to tell them hits home later.

  ( going to the meetingzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz)
