so that was the line used by an elder the other day to me!.
he implied that i react badly when spoken to by the elders.. i corrected him and said: "no, i'm always happy to have a conversation.
but what you seem to be implying is that unless i sit and accept and take everything you say, then i am being defensive?
"We can't even talk with you anymore! You react very abruptly"
Okay, were they talking to you at the time or did they write this in a letter. Because if they were talking to you when they said they can't talk to you, that just makes no sense.
I assume that what they mean to say is, "We can't lecture you anymore because you've become too intelligent to listen silently like a brain-dead JW zombie."
well i finally got the, "we would like to stop by with the circus oversneer and have an encouraging visit.
would ---------day be good, at say -----------?".
it'll probably be a pretty dull visit with the entire conversation being only one way.
Well I finally got the, "We would like to stop by with the Circus Oversneer and have an encouraging visit. Would ---------day be good, at say -----------?"
Answer: "Well, if he really needs an encouraging visit, I might try to come up with some time for him to try to cheer him up. I realize how very depressing it must be for him to be a CO. He's probably afraid that he'll get forced off the road in a few years with no money, no particular job skills, and failing health. I remember how depressed and helpless I felt when I left bethel. I suppose I could share my experiences about getting my degree and a great career, I'm much happier now than I've ever been before in my life. So I think I might be able to encourage the poor guy."
That part of the creation myth always struck me as odd.
august 2015 awake .
quote in title taken from article footnote.. anyone have information on who gene hwang and yan-der hsuuw in the article are?.
why do they repeatedly state that apes turned to humans when that's not what evolutionists teach at all?.
why did god if he is so loving create viruses like Ebola and the Plague?
And who brought them and all the other diseases aboard Noah's ark? Did Noah collect two of all the millions of animal species and two specimens of every disease?
so brohter (not elder or anything but many years active) had to give talk this week.
talk related to how jehovah gives abilities to people thru the spirit.
started off with the mention of how god told moises to build the tent and gave people the abilities to work wood, stone, etc.
Started off with the mention of how God told Moises to build the tent and gave people the abilities to work wood, stone, etc.
Meanwhile, the Egyptians were building temples and pyramids while Moses left no visible traces of any 40 years of camping and building a fancy tent. Oh, and his Bronze Age god was helpless to stop chariots with iron wheels.
Similarly, the WT website today is less technically advanced and receives much less traffic than most non-Bronze Age god related websites.
i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.
was wondering what you guys can add to it..
Deut. 22:28,29, the Mosaic Law instructs that a raped virgin was to be sold for the price of a slave to her rapist and they could never divorce.

Those public speaking skills she learned at the Kingdumb Haul have really come back to bite Botchtower Corp in the a$s.
Any negative comments that come along the way really add more validity to everything she said in the video.
She did a great job! Wouldn't it be great if it went viral enough for her to get a few bucks to start her college fund? How ironic would that be?!
Carla, that's FANTASTIC idea! If she starts crowdfunding, count me in!
the "don't buy ice cream give us the money video" that is the subject of other threads.. i am not very good with computer stuff - would someone tell me where it is to be found on jworg please?
i can't find it.. thanks..
the watchtower study edition, august 2015, "keep in expectation!
" article:.
paragraph 3: "after looking forward to the end of this system for what may seem to be a long time, however, some may wonder, do we still have sound reasons to keep in expectation?
In the "prophecy" of Matt. 24:45-51, isn't this exactly what Jesus foretold?
The slave says in his heart, "My master is delaying." Then he turns to beating (and robbing) his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with the confirmed drunkards (TV/Internet evangelists and hedge fund investors).
wow i was at regional today
Seriously, though; any time I hear religious people use the words "sheep" and "sheeplike", I'm inclined to ask them, "you do know what a sheep's ultimate fate is, don't you?"
If you're a WT sheep, you can forget about the panda-petting paradise. This is your future, right here:
