  this week's "Bible Study"

  by stillin in

  it started with the comparison of "porneia" (all sexual practices outside of marriage) being a ploy of satan, as a "lure" that a fisherman uses to catch "fish.

  " all kinds of comments were made regarding internet porn, adultery, oral sex, etc, all being a device designed to trap jehovah's people, resulting in thier spiritual demise.

  i still have commenting priveleges, so i felt it necessary to mention live bait also having a "hook.

  My Wife and three young kids were there!

  She told me about this and I blew a gasket. Her response is that they will hear this at school ( my oldest is 9)

  . This religion is so f*d up.

  I can't wait until my kids leave (and they will, they all do).

  Cult! Cult! Cult!

  Sorry, but this just stuck a nerve.

  hello - first may i apologise for capital letters my keyboard has gone screwy.

  for the last several months i have been having meetings with two really nice women from the jw organisation.

  i don't want to offend anyone by asking these questions i am simply trying to better understand how the watchtower came about without listening to too much anti stuff.

  How will anyone know when the "Great Tribulation" begins?

  by foolsparadise in

  1. jw

  will there be an announcment on the world news saying " a great tribulation has begun in the world" or will the gb send a letter to all the kh's to scare the piss out of everybody saying "we the gb being gods chosen channel of communication have decided that the world's situation seems dire and are pleased to tell you that the great tribulation has started!".

  obviously the world has been in a great tribulation since the time of jesus.

  great tribulation does not mean some event that has to happen all at once all of a sudden.

  hey,.

  this is my first post on this forum after months of reading and lurking on here.

  i'm glad to be able to say that my husband and i finally sent our letter saying we want out and are wait to hear back for a potential jc meeting--that we won't be attending.. we had so many doubts it was impossible for us to continue living the lie.

  Do the elders really care if you fake your service time?

  by JimmyPage in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the bottom line for them it seems is to keep their superiors happy (i.e., the co).

  so as long as people report time, it makes the elders look good.

  do any elders actually care if it's real or not?

  I faked all my time in order to become appointed, as my wife was a reg. pioneer. She would often call me out.

  But as long as I was on the road to a position, she didn't care.

  "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to all the Flock"

  by Cthulhu in

  2. friends

  i have been following a number of threads here periodically and have decided to join so as to contribute.

  i was wondering if any of you would have any idea as to the value of the book mentioned in the title of this thread "pay attention to yourselves and to all the flock," the elusive elders manual.

  you see, my grandfather died recently and, unbeknownst to "the others" i managed to obtain said book before anyone else could.

  Yknot,

  Not that the issue would ever be pressed, but when you step down, they ask for it. Therefore, unless you disappear, you have falsely obtained it.

  Does anybody have anything written on this?

  Farkel,

  How do you know we don't have a 144,000 ex-elders here?

  Hell, they made up a number, can't we?

  Snakes,

  Were you inflating you time when they accused you?

  I cannot believe this happened if you were actually getting pioneer hours (and deducting 10%)

  If so, someone was after you.

  It wouldn't be a copyright infringement since it is actually owned by the WBTS. It might be considered stolen property though.

  This book is sort of like a credit card, in that the Watchtower (bank) maintains ownership, even though you are using it.
