Sour Grapes

This was the title of a little side article in today's

Witchtower study. Every year they always have

a story of a child sending the Witchtower Babel and

Trick Sobriety their dimes and nickels. Well this

little article had a different twist. I am going to write

it down and see if you can see what point they are

trying to make. Here we go:

"Recently, on her own initiative, a nine year old girl

in Brazil separated the money she had saved into two

parts---18 dollars and 25 dollars. She put the smaller

amount into the contribution box at the local Kingdom

Hall to help cover expenses. Then she forwarded the

larger portion to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses,

along with a short letter."

friends

hey there everyone, so this is a jw parody in the vein of the hitler flipping out about things that's all the rage on youtube.

i think it's really clever and alot of the youtube apostates are already thinking it's one of the better parodies on youtube.

check it out though, i'm sure everyone will laugh.

My Personal Experience

by God_Delusion in

hi guy's & gal's,.

as many of you now know, i have decided to create my own blog.

i have just finished the about me bit within the site.. it would be very much appreciated if you could read what i've written and let me know what you think.. here is the link to it;.

Sour Grapes

I enjoyed your blog. I have shared many of the same

mental abuses you did as a child. I am still "in" for the

sake of my family but as all of the "new truths" are

revealed in the Witchtower and the light keeps getting

brigher and brigher, they are beginning to smell a rat.

More Misc Ramblings About Gilead

by AllTimeJeff in

jw
friends

honestly, i can't remember if i told some of this already, so if i repeat myself, please allow me this.

i am practicing for old age..... it is now 6 years since i got the "long form" application for gilead, with over 120 questions to answer.

5 years since i got my notice that we were selected to attend the 119th class of gilead from april-september 2005.. prior to this, i really wanted to be a co. i won't belabor the point about my ex jw wife wanting to go overseas, but suffice to say, her goal won out over my goal.

Sour Grapes

Thanks for sharing Jeff. I am thankful that you are a

part of our community and I hope that any borderline,

sitting on the fence Witnesses, read your posts and

learn before it is to late. A life is a terrible thing to waste.

do you have talent as a musician?

I was accepted to go to a medical school but then the elders

told me that I was waisting my time. Why would I want to

enter a profession that will not be needed in a few more years.

That was 45 years ago.

"And Jehovah has blessed us with diesel fuel"

by Sour Grapes in

when i read these eye witness accounts from haiti.

like jehovah is blessing his people with diesel fuel.

and food my brain begins to bleed.

Sour Grapes

When I read these eye witness accounts from Haiti

like Jehovah is blessing His people with diesel fuel

and food my brain begins to bleed. The JW's make

it sound like God came down from heaven on his fiery

charriot with a 50 gallon drum of diesel sitting in the

back of the charriot. How about the hundreds of thousands

of other Haitians who have received fuel, food, and

medical attention from countries all over the world

and from the good efforts of so many churches. I guess

that is not from Jehovah, it is just a stroke of good luck.

I had a dear Witness friend who recently died. He was

having surgery and died on the table. He was an elder,

pioneer, family man, role model in the congregation.

I am sure that everyone was praying for a successful

surgery but he died. Maybe Jehovah did not hear their

prayers or maybe he just doesn't care.
