  Who was the biggest Jehovah's Witness rebel?

  by slimboyfat in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  who was raised a jw and went on to lead life in stark contrast to their upbringing?.

  i have often thought the award should go to dwight eisenhower.

  from a religion that railed against politics and warfare he first invaded western europe and then went on to become president of the united states.

  First "Big Meeting" for our hall was tonight

  so we hadour first big meeting tonigh ( bookstudy, ministry school and service meeting ) here are my observations:.

  1) even though it is the same amount of time, it seemed verrrrry long.

  2) it seemed like a circus.....too many parts that did not relate to the others....seemed like a crossword puzzel with 6 different languages.

  Mine was last night.
  
  Went out to dinner instead.
  
  Then Drank Champagne.
  
  Then watched the ball drop.
  
  Then set off fireworks.
  
  My wife woke up this morning and won't admit it but realizes she celebrated New Years instead of going to a meeting.

  Their coaching is not a conscience matter, it is just not a disfellowshipping matter.
  
  I can speak from experience as I was coaching while I was VERY active.
  
  There was nothing the elders could do except not give me "privileges".
  
  IMO, The fact that they continue to coach proves they don't give a flip about the religion.
  
  Keep up hope!

  Oops!
  
  Cawshun,
  
  The fact they are involved in extra-curricular activities, such as Basketball, is probably a HUGE reason for the shepherding calls.
  
  This is a big no-no for "God's People".
  
  There is probably a never ending stream of gossip in the hall about this as well

  "A "shepherding call" is usually an elder and MS. Two elders often means an investigation."
  
  That is not necessarily true. If a few Elders were behind on their time or an MS was not available, you would see two elders.
  If this happens every six months, my guess would be that your daughters family is either irregular at meetings or a low hour publisher.
  
  The other factor to consider is the timing of the Circuit Overseers visit. I would bet a large amount of money that he is coming within a month.
  
  Or just left and got reamed.

  Tell him that article was referring to the recession in the EARLY 90's.
  
  These Watchtower groupies have elevated the GB to prophet status.

  You may be confusing tis with the Bethel application- Which does ask this question.
  
  Not that any of those boys are honest with themselves.
  
  I never understood the appeal for a 20 year old guy to want to spend years confined with other guys.
