  Here is what silly looks like

  by Sour Grapes in

  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?

  by Richard_I in

  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.

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.

  Cart work faces headwinds.

  my little bethel bird has whispered in my ear some encouraging news.

  it has been reported to the canadian branch that some witnesses doing cart work had police stop them from carting in public parks.

  the direction sent to the southern ontario congregations is to cease carting until further notice.. this is no joke.. have a jw-free day..

  The JDubs need special training to be a cart guard. Here is the outline: How to sip your coffee without making eye contact with people walking by. How to sit in a chair and properly cross your legs. How to hide your phone so that people can't see that you are on Facebook. When to start and stop counting your time. (You must touch the cart on the upper left side to clock in and touch it on the lower right side to clock out.) If more than 4 JDubs are standing by a cart the total hours must be multiplied by three and divided by four so that the hours spent in this life-saving work are not exaggerated. Do not overtalk to anyone with a question...you must point them to our website. This is the most important work being done on the face of the earth so only talk to someone if they approach you. Do not initiate any discussions...let God's holy spirit direct them to you to prove that they are one of God's sheep.

  How the Borg could increase meeting attendance numbers

  by Sour Grapes in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i think that the 8 popes should allow the jdubs to count time driving to the meetings or even count their time being at the meetings.

  those who just listen over the phone can't count their time.. it would be a much better religious cult if the 8 self-licking ice cream popes would let their followers count their time for helping the elderly in the kingdumb haul with stopping by to have coffee, shopping, cleaning, cutting grass, etc.

  let them count time by visiting the friends in nursing homes, maybe even allow double the hours for the nursing home visits.. this probably ain't going to happen because the cart work is easier..

  Congregation Reassignments in Ohio?

  by My Name is of No Consequence in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  from what i understand, a letter was read this past week in regards to congregation reassignments and that the elders want to meet with people at their homes to tell them where they have been reassigned.

  obviously, this would be due to the merging and dissolution of congregations.

  can anyone confirm this?.

  The desert god is speeding up the shutting down of Kingdumb Hauls as the growth is moving forward.
