Homosexuality, the GB and the Bible

by Oubliette in

the recent topics addressing the shamefully bigoted talk by jw gb member, anthony morris, on the subject of homosexuality got me thinking.

what the heck is up with the gb's obsession with this subject?.

as far as i can determine, jesus never said a single thing in reference to homosexuality.

Most Ridiculous Thing You've Ever Been Counseled On

by MrFreeze in

i'm sure topics like this have already come up but they tend to get hilarious with the absolute absurdity that goes on in the kh.

i was once counseled for not shaving after two days.

i was also counseled by a sister for eating lucky charms cereal.

I dont know if it ever happened but it was meant to , the brother doing the roving mikes was upsetting people because he was smiling too much

My elder father told me not to speak about my recent holiday to one of the Greek Islands as it could stumble others who cant afford holidays

Does Anyone Feel the Ministerial School Helped Them?

by Band on the Run in

jw
friends

as a born-in, i was eager to join the ministry school.

my cousins were also born-in but lived in different states.

there was keen competition to see who could do mature things, such as baptism (my mom said when i was 35) and ministry school.

I've never seen anyone cry up on the platform!, its an absolute fallacy that the TMS makes people wonderful public speakers, all of the very worst public speakers I've ever heard have all been JW's with decades of experience, with the tiny exception of a the odd flamboyant DO or CO, David Carter was a good speaker

Why would Adam or Eve choose the tree of knowledge instead of the tree of life.

by smiddy in

please help me out here .. in genesis 2:16 it says " and jehovah god also laid this command upon the man: from every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction.

17 but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it , for in the day you eat from it ,you will positively die.. ok we get that , but what about this ?.

wouldnt it make more sense to forbid the eating of the tree of life first ?

Bethel's Official List of UK CO's and DO's in 2006!

by TimothyT in

for those who have been discussing co's and do's in the uk, i managed to dig up a photo from my archives of when i had a visit to bethel in june 2008. because i was an uber witness i just had to have my picture taken in front of the amazing printing presses in london.

also, i saw a poster which listed all of the co's and do's in the uk so i just had to have a picture of it.

i realise that the list was created in 2006, the picture was taken in 2008 and now we are in 2013, so a lot of time has past and im certain the list is totally different now, but atleast there be some names on there you will realise and remember.

jookbeard

wonder if there is many more changes to that list ?
