a sister came by my house today.
not to see how i was or why i have not been to meetings for the past months - she needed to borrow some money for the upcoming convention.
we chatted a little, and i cound not keep my mouth shut about some questions i have and some discoveries i made about the doctrine.
But I have the feeling she will talk to one of them...
So if the elduhs come asking questions, you can say, "hmmm, Sister Whackadoodle came by trying to borrow money and when I said I wasn't comfortable lending, she got furious and made a bunch of threats about how she could make a lot of trouble for me. I guess she figured out how to use you to do her dirty work. Did you happen to loan her the money she wants?"
looks like the faithful jws are back in the basement, the oct 15th wt has this image on page 9. but now the lights have been turned out!
i guess the persecution is really kicking in if the electric company has shut off their electricity, or the jws are really, really paranoid that the government is gonna get them if they have the lights on!.
only one guy is smart enough to use his tablet (far right), the rest of the jws are old school, using a lantern to read their bibles in the dark!
although i find this unsurprising, i think it worth mentioning as it demonstrates a point.
i know a brother in chile, and i wanted confirmation on the flag flying outside the kh in that country.
he said he was unaware of it.
the parody video is being released before the "official" release on sunday!.
video being re-edited...stand by.. edit: here is the re-cut with wingcommander's excellent input.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5h1cj527s4.
i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
Of course, this would mean that Anita Bryant was actually promoting homosexuality.
Her homophobia was all a smokescreen:
Here she is, seducing two children with gay oranges!
i want as many minds put into this as possible.. there is a new argument among the extreme jw apologists, saying that even the disciples promoted mistakes.
they base themselves on john 21:23. keep in mind, i am not a believer but i want the answer from a believer's standpoint, please.. .
nwt:.
Good points listed already. Here's a couple of points I've used:
i was told that today by a jw...no more to say.
Oranges make you gay? Utter nonsense!
We all know that it's bananas that make you gay, at least I think that's what these two dudes were trying to explain.
so the family attended a wedding this weekend that we had coming up for a while.
the man getting married (a close relative of my wife) is the son of an (now) elder.
he was baptized young.
Their pitiful behavior is happifying to the cult leaders and their Bronze Age make-believe god.
I'm assuming that my parents wouldn't attend my wedding since I won't be marrying a "sister".
wt is insinuating, worse yet, blaming senior jw parents for there not being more younger brothers reaching out to be ministerial servants and elders.
page 11 paragraph 9 reads as follows: .
"elders in affluent lands may face an added challenge: how to motivate baptized brothers in their 20s or 30s to get involved in congregation activities.
We asked experienced elders in some 20 Western lands to tell us why they think some young brothers shy away from accepting congregation privileges.
A few things of note:
Among the answers received,one stands out: While they were growing up, some young ones were not encouraged to pursue spiritual goals.
Again, more things of note:
this photo can be found in the april 15 , study edition article titled:.
why disfellowshipping is a loving provision.
just by looking at this image we can see how quickly the barrier between the congregation and former member is put up, after the announcement that this sister is no longer one of jehovah's witneses.
It looks like a real person surrounded by ghosts. The woman in blue is thinking, "I see dead people."
