is counting how many people are present at a meeting a "privelige"

by looloo in

i know that my daughters abuser was a min servant when he abused girls in the cong then got reprooved when found out , i presume he was then stopped from being a min servant but he never answered at meeting s despite every meeting standing at the back counting people present .

when i started attending meetings i wondered why he never answered but was not too shy to count people every meeting , when i asked my bible study conducter she never really gave a straight answer and looked embaressed .

i thought if you had been accused of abuse you could not have priveliges ..

oompa

you guys still stuck in there....have some fun and stand up during every meeting...go to the back and count intensely.....pen and paper in hand like at conventions....wander up and down each aisle a little....then stand at the back totaling your numbers as you walk into the lobby.

this will drive elders and esp the turd with the real "privilege" of counting TOTALLY NUTS!!!!..........when asked you just say you want to make sure everyone is counted and are trying to help....hahahahahah............oompa

mechanic: "god tells me how to fix your car"....nice

by oompa in

jw
friends

so this mechanic tells you that you can really trust him to be the best because god guides him through his repairs on your car....he does not even need diagnostic equipment because god lets him know everything he needs to keep your car on the road...and you believe him.

you dont really worry the first or second time your car breaks down right after a repair...because after all god is with this mechanic and you will just be patient until god guides your mechanic to the real problem and he fixes your car.

but when the car breaks down a dozen times.....two dozen....a hundred....when the mechanic just never gets your car running right or reliably and makes countless excuses....just how many times will you keep going back to the same mechanic?

but when the car breaks down a dozen times.....two dozen....a hundred....when the mechanic just never gets your car running right or reliably and makes countless excuses....just how many times will you keep going back to the same mechanic? at what point do you say "geeze i really believed this was the best mechanic because he convinced me god was somehow guiding him as he worked on my car, but now i just cant believe it anymore"....how many things does he have to get wrong before you realize that either he is a fraud...or god also is one sucky mechanic...........oompa

Help - Need Some Tough Questions...

by Clam in

i used to post a lot on here but rarely do these days.

i was asked by a friend today to give her some questions for a dub she's meeting tomorrow.

he's an arrogant one who says he can answer any question she has and consequently (haha) demonstrate that it's the truth.

oompa

yo clam...welcome back...how bout why did they outright CHANGE the bible....the easiest to question is revelation...why have they deletetd god and lord and replaced it with jehovah...even with no quotes from the hebrew scriptures? twelve times just in this one book and the no no is rev 22:17-19...yep its a no no...not supposed to change the bible...they did it 237 times just with the name jehovah in the new testament....not to mention many others ..............good luck ......................................oompa

i am so disgusted right now, more with myself than anything.. we have this big albertsons grocery store monopoly game going where i live.....the more of certain products you buy, the more tickets you receive.

not only are there instant winners, but then you enter codes on line.. ha....after 2 months, i've won $5.00 and a bottle of clorox beach.

i have spent more than i ever would have normally.

oompa

so why dont they cut to the chase at the door???

by oompa in

as in..."hi, my name is soa fraid and i hope you will accept my offer for a free home bible study.

the reason you should accept this free offer is that our leaders, the men who have compiled the material for this study receive direct communication from god, and he speaks to no other religion on earth.

they then write down what god has told them to, and publish it in a zillion languages so that we can teach people what god really meant in his new world translation of the holy scriptures...you may refer to it as the bible.
