  Geoffrey Jackson's Golden Apple watch INVESTIGATED

  by C0ntr013r in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  i went through the original footage to get a good look at the watch.. from these pictures we can probably say that it is a apple watch and that it has a golden color.

  the color on the pin is black, and the band is white, grey, silvery or beige.. .

  the pin is in the exact place for it to be a apple watch.. only apple watch edition have the gold color.

  Are you truly happy?

  by onightdivine in

  for the lurkers and active jws here, are you really happy about the recent changes?.

  are you happy where you are now?.

  does it make you feel special that you are more "privileged" than non-jws or other jws who have less preaching hours than you do?.

  I am happy because I don't tow the GB/party line. I do my own thing and avoid WT nonsense. I stick to Gods word instead as a Christian.

  What are the things that wake people up from the Watchtower Corporation?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when i became an elder i saw the dark side.

  a side i previously believed couldn't possibly exist in the one true religion of the happiest people on earth.. then they rolled out 'overlapping generations(tm)' and that was the last straw.. all my life i had doubts but surpressed them thinking i was at fault and not the cult leaders.. it seems more likely that now the governing body are parading around like popes, wearing their expensive jewellery, that this will nauseate even dyed in the wool jws.. i wonder if the wake up can be condensed into main categories?.

  1. experiencing the cruel handling of matters by the wbt$ reps.. 2. crazy doctrine (eg.

  'Revelation...its grand climax at hand' was the book that started causing me some serious doubts! As I was studying it or when discussing it. the following would go through my mind particularly when this or that date/pamphlet/book/assembly etc would pertain to a specific scripture. eh!, what! ah come on! really! nonsense! no way! on , oh please!

  not only are we to watch our associations outside of the congregation, but also watch our associations 'within' the congregation.

  this was emphasised by the wt study conductor.

  'Watch Your Associates in These Last Days'. I loved the end paragraph. Having completely made us all feeling paranoid as to who we associate with both in and outside the Cong, paragraph 19 says. 'As worshippers of Jehovah, we need to imitate Noah................ keep separate from the wicked system.........and seek upbuliding associates among the millions of our faithful brothers and sisters................And just think of our wonderful prospects! If we watch our associations in these last days, we MAY PERSONALLY live right through the end of this evil system and into Jehovah's righteous new world now so near at hand' Still scratching my head!

  Sorry folks, I forgot to give my honest rate. I would honestly say 4. boring. The reason for this is because the meetings tend to be full of boring speakers and the talks are repetitive, dogmatic and uninspiring in mho! Each congregation needs a Jimmy Swaggart to shake things up a bit :-)

  Any funny stories of when a"brother" giving a talk, said something "funny" or "questionable", and didn't even realize it?

  by Dunedain in

  2. experiences

  there were always all types of speakers in the org.

  myself, growing up a "witness", must have heard all types of talks, and given by all manner of speakers, especially on sundays, when almost every week we would get a "visiting" brother giving the public talk.. sometimes, you would have a "great" speaker, all fluent and animated.

  other times we would get a comical speaker, one who would maybe purposelly get a few laughs outta the audience.

  You probably all had the talk on immorality, but we had one of our nice but robotic elders tell us in chapter and verse what immorality is. My young daughter is sitting next to me....this dude then says immorality includes fornication, sex between a man and woman outside of marriage, sex between a man and a man, sex between a woman and a woman, oral and a al sex, masturbation, bestiality, uncleanness which includes viewing pornography, where there is access to incest and rape pornography' He went on to list several others. I said to my Mrs after, that it was a little ott. She agreed that there was no need to go into such detail. Unbelievable! I wouldn't say anything like that to my daughter at home.....not for her ears. What a douche
