What's Your SUPER POWER?

by AWAKE&WATCHING in

my super power is that i can size people up rather quickly.

i also am the one even people i hardly know come to for advice because i can usually figure out exactly what to do in any difficult situation.. .

i like my super power.

I am able to quickly see through bullshit. Unfortunately I didn't have this super power when I was 21 and started my study with JW's.

IMPORTANT: Elders Mtg at Patterson

by confusa in

jw
friends

a witness just informed me about a couple that we know who had their assembly recently, and it was announced at the private elder's meeting that there will be a special meeting with all the elders in the us in patterson.

it was mentioned that we are now living "in the end of end of times" and that the un is talking about prohibiting religions.

has anyone heard of this??

AWAKE&WATCHING

It's enough to scare me into going back to the meetings, it's so close to the end of the end or they wouldn't be saying such things.

F*CKING LYING EVIL BASTARDS!!!

What was your first taste of "apostasy"? Mine was Bonham, Texas

by donny in

besides the folks walking with signs at each convention, what was your first taste of "apostasy"?

my first interesting experience happened within the kingdom hall.

my congregation in dallas (farmers branch) was in the same district as the bonham congregation which was about 70 miles northeast of dallas.. http://governingbodyletters.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-owns-kingdom-halls.html.

we assume that they or their dupes read this forum, or parts of it, right?

address your comments to them.

do so kindly, and respectfully, remembering that it is their religion, and they can run it like they like.

You are evil bastards and I hate you and everything you stand for. You destroy families and rob people of their lives.

"the fds is directed by holy spirit, that's why god teach us using the literature the slave class provides" .

"a spiritual person sees the education with scorn.

that is why the organisation recommends short courses and jehovah will be very happy with you" .
