  Facebook condemned

  by straightshooter in

  my wife told me that at the last meeting, the elders announced that youngsters going to the skateboarding park were no longer to have any privileges in the congregation.

  this is to prevent jw youngs to be rounded up if a drug raid was made at the skateboarding park.. also because of individuals requesting that they be friends on facebook that contain bad pictures, that anyone with a facebook account will automatically have their privileges removed.. sounds like the pharasees protecting the people by adding additional traditions upon them.. .

  I betcha that the teenagers wish that they could loose their priviledge of going to

  the meetings, going out in service and commenting at the meetings.

  do you still contribute for literature, give to the worldwide work, kingdom hall fund or contribute towards the upkeep of your local kh?

  if you do - why?.

  I do not go from door to door but count ghost hours to keep the

  elders off of my back. I take the literature to keep up the

  appearance but do not pay for them. I figure if they want

  to give the stuff to me, I will take them since the mags are

  biodegradable.

  and another missed opportunity for God to begin the great

  tribulation, how important this site is to me. I read it every

  day while I am enjoying my first cup of coffee. You are all

  very special. I would find it very difficult to put up with my

  JW family if I did not have you guys around. A special note

  of thanks to Simon for making all of this possible.

  Thanks for being here.

  I just feel like crying... I'm so fed up of the hypocrisy!

  by cattails in

  i was very disgusted with the wt study for today.. towards the end of the article it refers to matthew 15 (see quoted scripture below).

  this is a beautiful passage where jesus says his followers need to be hospitable, care for sick, hungry and imprisoned brothers.. they turn it around and say that for jw's this means they need to support the "faithful and discreet slave" by going in door-to-door witnessing, making monetary contributions to support the worldwide witnessing work, and following the directions and counsel of congregation elders.. and the worst part of it all is that there were several commenters giving almost word for word answers to that effect, they didn't even seem to listen to previous comments, they just repeated mindlessly what the paragraph said... i was ready to burst.

  mom knew i was about to have a fit right there and then.

  Just hang in there. Go to meetings can be dangerous to your health.

  my manager expects a business plan tomorrow morning, and of course with all the holiday stuff i totally blew it off until the last minute.

  if it weren't for procrastination, i'd have no plan at all.

  i need to show how i plan to be profitabl, and i am so new to all of this, i have no clue where to start.

  Concerning the 6,000 year BS, any person with a brain knows that the

  creative days could not be 7,000 years long, which would be a total of

  49,000 years after the 1,000 year reign of Jesus.

  Just look at oil or petroleum. Oil is made from hydrocarbons which are

  ancient plants and animals that were exposed to the combined effects

  of time and temperature deep in the bowels of the earth. This organic

  soup was cooked and now we have oil. This process would have taken

  hundreds of thousands of years.

  Concerning the building project prepartion for the next 4 years Brother Morris

  said that "we are now working on next years district assemblies progams

  and next years circuit assemblies and since we do not know the day

  or the hour we have to prepare for the future but in the near future

  the work that we did the previous year for prepartion will not have

  been necessary." He really put the fear of God into the group.

  Can anyone say cult?

  The talk that Brother Morris is giving at the One Day

  Assemblies is really getting the Witnesses all worked

  up again. I heard his talk last last month and he really

  putting it in on the line. He made statements like "if you are

  not doing the Weekly Family Worship night that Jehovah

  gave to you, then your chances of surviving the great

  tribulation are greatly reduced and just because we

  have building projects projected for the next 4 years

  doesn't mean at all that we have 4 years remaining,

  no not at all."

  I noticed at the meeting today that the excitment that

  I experienced in the early 1970's is returning and it just

  makes me ill. Has any one else noticed that the Witnesses

  are almost giddy with the thought that the end really

  is near this time?
