  How many JDubs would believe this ridiculous statement?

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  a circuit overseer or a member of the gibbering body is giving a talk about demonism and he says the following, "there was an elder in a congregation in california who let his 8-year-old daughter watch disney movies that involved witches, gremlins, magic, and sorcery.

  many may feel that they are harmless movies and are just entertainment.

  well, the 8-year-old daughter actually brought a blue smurf doll to the public talk and watchtower study.

  When I was a young elder I studied with a younger married couple. We talked about how Satan and his demons don't want them to study and learn about Jehovah. The couple lived in a mobile home and at night they heard creaking noises and thought the demons were after them.

  They told me about the noises. I assumed that they bought something from a store that sells used items which can serve as a bridge for the demons to the persons home. Nope....but I did find ceramic praying hands that belonged to a grandmother. Aha, that was the culprit. I took the praying hands outside the trailer and smashed them with a hammer.

  The creaking noise did not go away, now something that belonged to a grandmother was destroyed and they stopped studying a few weeks later.

  I guess at that point in time I would have believed the smurf story if a CO gave the story.

  If a JDub would believe that a smurf could walk because one of the 8 popes said so I think they would also drink the koolaid.

When the name Jehovah was mentioned by the brother giving the talk the smurf doll jumped to the floor and ran to the back of the hall."

  How many JDubs would actually believe that happened? I would have to say that since it was stated by a CO or GB Pope that 50% to 60% would actually believe that it happened.

  What do you think?

  Here is what silly looks like

  for shits and grins, i looked at an online sunday meeting a few days ago on youtube.

  i was in disbelieve on just how silly everything looks with the watchtower reader reading from his little iphone and the watchtower conductor holding up his iphone to ask the questions.

  then the conductor asked the reader to read a bible verse and of course, he reads from his little phone.

  It just doesn't feel like you are holding the Word of God when you looking at your smart phone especially when a few minutes before there may have been some porn on the screen.

  I guess that I am old fashion and I would miss actually holding a Bible and turning the pages to the verse. I remember how when a Bible verse was turned to there would be the sound in the Kingdumb Haul of paper pages being flipped through as 60 people thumbed through their Bibles. That sound will soon be gone. Do they still say "Let's turn in our Bibles to....?

  It just looks all too silly for me. A Bible study without a Bible.

  Why are they announcing 2019 conventions so early?

  i was just told there will be international conventions in canada in 2019. .

  so i looked at jw.org and i see that there's a whole bunch of conventions now listed on the site for 2019.. isn't this odd?

  normally we were told the location of conventions during the first week of january.. did they realize there was less in attendance in the 2018 conventions, and want to give ppl more time to make travel arrangements??

  My wife was discouraged when they announced the Memorial date for the next three years. She said, "Well, I guess Armageddon is coming in the next three years." I am sure that she was not the only JDubby to think that.

  The JDubs sure love to talk about sex and you don't have to be skin to skin to be pornia. I guess it is just a hell of a lot safer to be around pillows for some good old dry humping. Why does the Borg always talk about surfing the net late at night? I think that porn is available 24/7. It is really sad when the circus overseers have to be told to be warm and don't forget to thank them elders for being elders. What a lame religion to need instructions on what to feel, what to say, what to do, and when to do it. The internet is full of lies except for Jehovah's website.

  My wife's Kingdumb Haul announced that next Saturday is a special day of service. We can pioneer for a day in seldom worked territory. Everone is to pack a nice brown bag lunch. They will go in service in the morning then they will all meet at the rest stop with picnic tables and have their lunch and share all of the exciting morning experiences and then go back out in service in the afternoon.

  Sound like a lot of fun.
