  An announcement from the Watchtower?

  by ThomasCovenant in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  to be read by the co-ordinator of the body of elders at the earliest opportunity to the whole congregation, a copy of which is to be posted on the kingdom hall noticeboard and preferably local and national newspapers.. to the worldwide brotherhood of jehovah's witnesses;.

  dear brothers and sisters,.

  it is with a heavy 'heart of wisdom' that we address you all today.. we have thought long and hard, and some of us even prayerfully, of how to bring out this latest 'new light'.. for many years now we have taught what we thought were delightful words of truth.

  JW Tall Tales

  2. experiences

  recently i was cleaning my bookcase and found an old book that i enjoyed as a child.

  it had stories in it such as paul bunyan, pecos bill, and john henry.

  while these stories are fictional, i enjoyed them because they were entertaining, and easy to understand.. fast forward to the late 70's when i was a teenager sitting at the ca hall in janesville wisconsin.. the speaker was explaining the great sacrifice god made in sending his son down to earth to die for all mankind.

  theres the story of: Dub lost job, came home to find cupboards full of food...( does anyone actualy know anyone that this happened to? My family lived on the bread line and all the cong knew it, but never once did this happen)

  If 2 brothers and 2 Sisters go out on a double date they will in 10 mins have either paired off for sex, or will have an orgy of 4.

  However if you leave you under age daughter in the care of a pervy elder... nothing will happen at all!!!!!(!)

  i once heard a tale of a woman who was involved in spirtisum, she studied and threw out all her spritistic stuff. On the day of her baptisuim when the brother put her under the water a demon was at the bottom of the baptisum pool, grabbed her and wouldn't let her come back up. The speaker on the platform got everyone in the auditorum to pray to jehovah to release the woman from the demons grasp before she drowned, and lo and beyond it happened!

  ... this was a story told to me in all seriousness by a dub

  Are JWs discouraged from seeking mental help?

  by Kristina1972 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my husband was raised in this religion, but was never baptized and does not go to meetings, although my mil is heavily involved.

  although my husband doesn't practice his religion, he believes it is the truth and i hate asking him questions, because he is very defensive of the religion.

  he and his mother, many years ago before i knew either of them, were treated for severe depression and hospitalized (at different times as a result of them going through divorces.

  householder gobstoppers: these easy to make gobstoppers are excellent for the deicated jw!

  simply pop one in to the hh's mouth and you will be able to preach at them for as long as you like without them telling you to go away or indeed pointing out that your belives are wrong.. pompous elder dumplings: the beauty of these thick dense dumplings is that the are easily made from very cheap ingredeiants.

  Pompous Elder dumplings: The beauty of these thick dense dumplings is that the are easily made from very cheap ingredeiants. They stuck up all the tasty bits from any stew, swelling in size until they fill the whole pot! The only downside is that when prodded they instantly fall apart.

  Windbag CO Soup: This thick soup is a handy way of recycling any old ingrediants that you may have lying around in the fridge. The large quanties of baked beans in it mean that you will soon be tooting hot air with the best of them!

  Armargeddon Sprinkles: These sprinkles take a long time to make, tend to stink out the kitchen untill you could swear you were cooking 7 course banquette in there. It can therefore be somtimes disapointing to find out their extremly small size. however they are very handy to keep in the store cupboard and sprinkle a few on the dinner of anyone who shows signs of tiring out.

  Hope you enjoyed that!

  Your turn....

  Ever Heard Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For Talking To A DFed Person?

  by Quillsky in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i haven't.. i propose that a shift, a change, begins here, spearheaded by those who are still "in".

  what's the worst thing the organization could do to you?.

  show some love to the next vulnerable disfellowshipped person you meet and speak to them, show them some humanity, some understanding.. if you're disfellowshipped yourself write an email today to someone you love who is not "permitted" to speak to you.. report back on here if it makes some kind of difference..
