  Though shalt not question ze tower

  by jacethespace in

  2. beliefs

  well sometime ago when i was meeting at the kingdom hall i overheard someone whos been in the tower all his life say to someone " have you heard that the number of the annointed are going up and not down, people are saying they are of the annointed when they are not".well since, i have spoken to an elder about overhearing this and all i got back was " no this person wasnt questioning the watchtower, just pointing out a problem".so they know this is going on and they dont even question anything.its just so ridiculous for people who examine and scrutinze for study every word the wt puts out.

  That is the standard response to a question that cannot be answered by referencing a watchtower.

  Wait on jehovah! Don't doubt. If you doubt you must be spiritually weak!

  It is a clever ploy. It means that very few will openly express their doubts otherwise they will be seen as spiritually weak, and not a good associate. It is a close jump from that to being DA'd or DF'd and let the shunning begin.

  Emotional blackmail of the worst kind perpetrated by an organisation that professes to show love and compassion.

  What a load of **************!!!!!!

  Is this a question worth putting to them??

  Are there any lurkers who may like to explain this? Or take back to their local elders for discussion and feedback to this forum?

  I would be fascinated to hear the explanation!!!!!!

  I agree with LovelyLil - the elders have absolutely no power over you!

  Just tell him you have absolutely nothing you wish to discuss with him.

  fader's wife expresses 1st doubts....

  2. scandals

  talking to a friend (ex-elder) today whose wife was (is) a close friend of mine .

  she's still a jdub but won't talk to me now i'm df'd (apparently it hit her very hard when we left) and so she busied herself with ministry and meetings in search of comfort and affirmation of her faith.

  this didn't work for her and she came out with an unexpected question... .

  What else is there???!!!!!!! What a question!

  The opportunity to be an individual - working things out for yourself, making your own decisions based on your principles and taking responsibility for your actions.

  Life is so much better lived that way rather than in dubland!

  Personally I don't believe in god. If there is a god then he /she/it is criminally negligent in failing to step in and put right the things that are wrong in the world. god has been apparently boasting for thousands of years about their powers and sense of justice, but done nothing to prove it. If I could find gods address I would sue for criminal negligence.

  Just my thoughts!

  I didn't know they had a "no blood" keyring.

  It wouldn't hold any legal validity however - no dates, no signature!! A medical team could (and would be strongly advised to) continue to treat in an emergency!

  I wonder if you could put elders and circuit overseers on ebay????!!!!

  Tempting!!!!

  kingdom hall sound team

  1. social
  2. humour

  i was one of the group of sound servers in the congregation to play kingdom hall tunes, flip mikes on,etc.record the meetings [ scary thought].half the time we had to replace the casette tapes as people never returned them after they lent them.well anyway a few times i often entertained thoughts that i would love to start the opening of a meeting with bon jovi- living on a prayer or some other rock song like that.oh what the hell i think i,ll return one more time and leave with a loud entrance.

  It used to make me laugh (still does!) that the "promise" of carrying a microphone around for 45 minutes is seen as a privilege and a bargaining tool!!!!

  And if that brother was able to do the microphones, AND answer up during the Watchtower, it would show just what a zealous brother he was because he had clearly pre-studied!!!!

  Return of the geeks!!!!!!!!!!

  Ninja - our minds must think alike! I also thought it was a thread to do with the Governing Body or the elders!!!!!!
