I never really wanted to get into the Public Talk thing,but was prevailed upon so to do. I found the WT outlines soooo dry and boring that I beat them to death and brought in a lot of other material,from Bible Commentaries etc.

I always tried to find something that excited me a bit so that I could enthuse,I never forgot what a Scottish brother (C.O) said to us,

"If you canna put fire in ya Talk,put your Talk in the fire!"

I must have been a cut above the others as I used to be requested by other Congos. in our Circuit,even though I was only ever a Min. Servant.

Before they gave an edict saying "Only Societies outlines to be used" (Heaven forbid someone may apply the Bible properly !) I used to write my own outlines,much better even if I do blow my own trumpet,but the old controlling spirit of the WT put a stop to that.

Shortly thereafter I requested no more PT's please "until further notice" (I never did another)

I can honestly say that in the last five years of attending I only heard two or three talks that were not mind and bum numbingly boring and uninformative. Love Wobble

has the expose' of wt been completed?.

is there anything more to say?.

sylvia.

It's probably at least been alluded to by all the thinking posters on here,but Newbies constantly need reassurance and directing to the archive on here,so hopefully y'all will continue to post,even if going over old ground sometimes,not only here but please move over to JWN a.s.a.p

Your comments and support are literally a LIFESAVER ! Many who leave JW's are suicidal to a greater or lesser degree.

So all you great people keep up the good work!!

Scriptures that support Christmas

by cawshun in

how many scriptures do you have to support christmas?

wobble

I know the WT would use the bit from that Corinthians scripture to say you might "stumble" someone.(They use this for all sorts of silly control tactics)

But if you look at it,you musn't stumble Jews or Greeks (non-christians) or the Congregation of God,since JW's are not the congo. of God I don't mind upsetting them by celebrating,non-believers don't care what I do!

Have a great Christmas everybody !!

Who among those still suffering the meetings will put their hand up and say that they will use in FS the bit under the Last Days article definition section which says (1989 Ed.) "some of the generation alive then(1914) will also be on hand to witness it's complete end in the "great tribulation" ?

I know the smartass on the platform will say "That is no longer our understanding" but it may open the minds of some and cause discussion.

Youve got to be brave and humble to do it,but I dare ya!!
