Delusions Of Paradise?

by SophieG in

jw
friends

sieborgs thread in the jokes section: questions that may be asked after armageddon took me back to the days when i would sit in the kh bored to tears and let my mind wander about paradise and what it would be like: .

i remember clearly as a child when i realized that my parents would not be married.

i was very upset.

SophieG, a nice topic. I remember sitting in the chair at the meeting when I was 6 years old or less. Because I and my family had a kind of superiority feeling, we feel much better than others in the congregation, I remember thinking I don't want to live next to sister .... or next to brother .... . I was thinking of creating a sort of independent republic in paradise with only my own family members and a few blessed friends , allowed to live next to me!

I did'nt like the idea that there would be no TV, radio, home computer, nice cars, adidas shoes etc, and hated the idea I have to work with my hands in paradise.

My parents often told me that maybe there would be modern things in paradise, remembering a picture with a john deere tractor in the "You can live forever in paradise" book. When I looked at the picture, it made my day... However the picture of seducing between a man and a woman in the same publication gave me a good feeling too

Do some GB know the truth about the truth?

by Bob_NC in

do some of the gb consciously know the truth about the truth and they just can't say it?

or are they all still under the spell?.

how about cos or dos?

Gorbatchov

@ Roman Catholic Church there is a saying that "starting at the level of Cardinals the Clergy does not believe in God".

I'm for sure that the WTBTS presidents like Knorr and Henschel did know it was all man made and failed prophecy.

Current heavy's like Phillip Bromley, James Pellechia and J.R. Brown know this also. They are part of the concept.

Only F.W. Franz and the current GB members could believe the WTBTS is Gods only true channel.

Experience: The last time Gorby went to field service

by Gorbatchov in

it was a cold, grey, sunday afternoon in december 2007. a sunday just before christmas day, december 23. because it was the end of the month gorby and his lovely wife had to make some service hours after the congregational meeting.

it was a long road, a road without an end, just in the middle of nowhere.

some houses, some fields and some houses, it went on and on.

It was a cold, grey, sunday afternoon in december 2007. A sunday just before christmas day, december 23. Because it was the end of the month Gorby and his lovely wife had to make some service hours after the congregational meeting. It was a long road, a road without an end, just in the middle of nowhere. Some houses, some fields and some houses, it went on and on. I remember we walked from the road to the door of a house. I watched through the front windows and I could see a family gathered together around a warm open fire place. They looked at us, poorly, and I looked at them, feeling poorly. The door opened and we were told friendly that there was no need for magazines there. I never felt so bad in my entire life. I told my wife "I never do a step in field service anymore!". Because I felt like a salesman going from door to door with something nobody was waiting for.

Never, never, never again!

Since I made this decision, I never felt better!!! And mrs Gorby also.

WTS closes/dissolves 435 congregations in 29 countries

by Gayle in

jw
friends

as listed in 2013 yearbook.. yes, most countries have increases in congregations.

most of the countries that have less congregations than last year, show 1 or 2 less.

however, poland shows a dramatic 327 congregations less, from 1,814 (2011) to 1,487. netherlands, 25 less congregations.

Gorbatchov

Situation @ The Netherlands: the Society closed in 2012 mainly all the foreign field congregations and let them merged into the Dutch congregations. A few foreign congregation (English language) still exists, the others (Most of all English, and all French, Arab, Papiamento, Russian) closed definitely down. That must be the reason of the decline of congregation numbers in The Netherlands.

The closing of the foreign field congregations was backed by the story that Dutch witnesses went to the foreign congregation for being out of sight of their original congregation, a kind of fade away.
