Birthdays and Jehovah

by I quit! in

friends

my birthday is coming up next week.

ever since leaving the watchtower i aways do something on or round that day with my sister.

we usually go to lunch and do something like see a movie, play golf, or spend the day at the beach together.

Would it be a conscience matter it we ate frosting from a can, flour sugar and oil from a bowl and cold cream and sugar.

Kind of like a fractional birthday celebration.

My Moms shepherding call re: the organisation

by James_Slash in

the elder in addition to the paedophile problem stated that not even "half" of the jw's at meetings are "proper witnesses".

he said the lifestyle of many are ruining the organisation for the majority.. i thought it was most interesting that despite his gripes with the religious leaders, jesus still used the temple to communicate with god despite eventually god removing his blessing from the jewish nation.. he intimated that eventually this would happen with the jw's.

its a funny comment for an elder to make..

ldrnomo

It sounds as though this elder's time as an overseer is limited if he is talking like that. The bORG will not put up with that for long.

The Best Of God

THE HEAVENS—At a press conference Tuesday, God Almighty, our Lord and Heavenly Father, gave his strongest indication yet that he might soon step down from his post as the supreme ruler of all things.

Following a routine address during which God confirmed the recent extinction of several thousand species, the Divine Creator fielded questions regarding rumors of his possible retirement.

"I've been at this a long time," said God, ∞, the all-knowing, all-powerful being who has presided over the cosmos since forming it from sheer nothingness nearly 14 billion years ago. "And the truth is, this was never something I planned on doing forever. Lately, in fact, I've begun to wonder if I should move on sooner rather than later."

Over the past few centuries, God has on numerous occasions deflected speculation that his reign might be winding down, but his remarks Tuesday appeared to signal a shift in celestial policy.

While touting his accomplishments as the prime mover of all space and time, the Lord spoke with surprising candor about the recent struggles of his absolute dominion over heaven and earth, acknowledging that it hasn't always been easy for him to keep up with the rapid pace of modern existence.

Enlarge Image A stunning vista brought into being toward the end of God's career.

"I couldn't be more proud of the universe I brought forth," God said. "But a lot has changed since then, and if I'm completely honest with myself, I'm probably not as passionate about my work as I once was. Things change. Who knows? I might not be the right entity for this job, going forward."

"Maybe we need some new ideas around here," God added. "Maybe heaven needs some new blood."

He Who Commanded Light to Shine Out of Darkness told reporters that his biggest regret was putting his job above spending more time with his son. In particular, God mentioned that he deeply lamented missing his only child's once-in-a-lifetime crucifixion.

"Your son's down there being martyred in front of all these people, but you can't be there for it," said God, his voice cracking slightly. "He thought I'd forsaken him. Of course, I was tied up working on something that seemed important at the time but that I can't even remember now. And I'll never get that moment back."

Many worry that God's retirement could create a void at the helm of creation that no omnipotent deity would be available to fill. However, sources close to the Heavenly Father pointed out that he has been gradually delegating key responsibilities to respected subordinates, such as the Holy Ghost, for at least an eon.

Attempting to downplay such concerns, God told reporters that he wasn't "going anywhere just yet" and that, in any case, the universe was largely self-sustaining these days.

"This place pretty much runs itself by now," the Lord said. "And besides, how many people still notice I'm around? To be frank, I'm not even sure I'm much more than a beloved figurehead at this point."

God was quick to emphasize that his potential retirement wouldn't mean a complete withdrawal from cosmological affairs, but would instead mark a transitional period during which he would step back a bit and take on a different role.

While he ruled out the possibility of creating a new universe, the Eternal One said he would be open to the idea of working as a consultant, perhaps judging the dead, offering his opinion on which civilizations should be wiped out by natural disasters, or performing the occasional miracle on a strictly freelance basis.

God also said he hoped to find free time to catch up on years of unanswered prayers, putter around with black holes in his basement, and, for the first time ever, take a trip just for the fun it.

"Maybe I'll visit Europe," God said. "I've never been in the Vatican, and I've heard it's supposed to be beautiful."

Read my earlier post bane. I never said I was a demon or anything else. You like the rest of the organization read the words you want to hear and fill in the rest with what you think is right. Yet you willingly judge me as being one of those on your list of what is bad. You don't know what I am or who I am do you bane.

I could be a watchtower organization troll appointed by the Governing Body to search out people trying to escape.

Or I could be all of those things you have judged me to be. You really don't know who you are talking to bane. Maybe the society was right maybe you should stop wasting time on the internet.

I told you what is bad. The organization of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of wherever. fuk n period

bane said:

I wouldn´t bother with the trashy people here. They all hate the organization. Don´t believe me?

I left that last sentence which really shouldn't have been a question in. Just to show how you can change a meaning by quoting someone out of context.

My dear been

I've bane wanting to address your statement about hate.

You say we just hate. We hate the GB, we hate the elders, we hate the organization etc. etc.

My question is what does the Bible say?

I will tell you if you can't think of it right away.

It says hate what is bad. So if we hate the organization and i'm not talking about the people i'm talking about the organization which I believe is it's own entity and has control of all of its people, we are then following the Bible's counsel.

May I ask, who do you hate bane? Is it we the people? Is it the thought that we could be right? Is it the emotional freedom we are now able to have? Perhaps its the freedom we have from all the guilt induced by a group of men setting a line in the sand where they voted on the placement and then by saying just the right scriptures in the right order manipulated everyone to get on their side.

Yes bane we don't have the guilt that some people feel, people like you. You may even feel guilty being a member of this forum, or maybe you feel guilt because you whacked off a month ago and can’t wait to do it again. Whatever it is you hate, tell us. Tell us bane what you want to change about people. Tell us why it’s good to have all the guilt induced by old self appointed wise men.

Use the scriptures in any order that you want tell us what you hate.

PS. you can start a new thread if you wish and I apologize to thunderr for hijacking his/her thread

I just figured the badge thing was done with and I’ve been ignoring you bane for much too long. You should know this. When I was a child of 14, I had to attend Catholic catechism classes. After several comments made by me in the class got the Nun so mad she said in a loud voice that the whole class could hear "YOU ARE AN AGENT OF THE DEVIL"

So watch out bane you may just be talking to a demon. There are other ways besides pushing the keys. I'm sure many of your members think we have control of the internet.

A Green Handshake

by dgp in

jw
friends

i just learned that sometimes people give "green handshakes".

is this the same as bribing your way up?.

thanks for any posts..

ldrnomo

The green handshake. Yes I remember it well. Because we were supposed to be discreet, we would shake the CO's hand and give him some money while doing it.

This would help in getting assigned talks on the CA's and DA's .

I would try to be real discreet about that because I wasn't crazy about giving talks at the assemblies.

One time I put some money in an envelope and instructed a young boy to bring it to the CO and give it to him. I thought that way he wouldn't know who his benefactor was but as the young boy handed the man the money he pointed me out and told him it was from me.

So much for anonymity.

Wierdest Yearbook experience EVER 1967 A "talking snake" silenced by an African Witness!!!

by Witness 007 in

yearbook 1967 p.105 "{chad -africa}.....a large crowd was follwing a man who had a talking serpent.

the serpent gave greetings and spoke in foriegn tongues...a brother was passing by and attracted by the commotion, he went to the house...as soon as he entered the room the serpent stopped talking.

the man cried out: "a magican has entered the room"...the brother said: "is that a serpent or a demon that is talking to you?...i know that since god created the animals not one sepent has spoken, with the exception of the one in the begining in the garden of eden...seeing that the serpent remained silent the man left the building...later he was anxious to get some literature....".

I know an elder in the congregation I used to go to and he claims that his mother bought a guitar at a garage sale and it played by itself. To bad we can't get a hold of the guitar and the snake and put on a road show. We could make millions the snake could sing along with the playing guitar.
